GISHY MsTgISH
GETS A BURGLAR
The Mother of Lillian and Doro
thy Defeats the Cracks
ihan's Purpose
By the Photoplay Editor
The aish family bad a burglary. Here
Is the true nnd detailed account of It.
Twas a few belli after midnight and I.os
Angeles slept. This statement Includes the
Glsh family, composed of I.ltllan, Dorothy
and their doting mother. There wns
nothing doing In the Clish bungalow ex
cept a considerable nmount ot sleeping.
Knter burglar. It. V. K. or wherever tho
roor of tho porch Is In the domicile of tho
aishcs. With the catlike tread favored by
all burglars who havo had proper train
ing, ho entered tho chamber of Mrs.
Glsh.
The burglar. It Is surmised, thought tho
Glsh family hnd either jewels or money.
Just why ho thought mother's room would
bo the repository for such loot Is not clear,
but. anyway, he must have thought thnt
or he wouldn't have been there. Being
there, he might have clawed through the
bureau drawers In search of the treasure.
"""' " ";i no uiu not. no so, it Is
surmised that bo was a married man nnd
had hunted for things around the house
when his wife was away for tho summer.
Anyway, what he did was to Hash a
flashlight on tho unsuspecting countenance
of Mrs. Glsh. Ths first Hash didn't quite
get oor.
"My I my !" muttered the mother of two
pay envelopes, "these lightning storms
certainly do conio up suddenly. Guess
1 11 put down the window."
"Nix!" wan the burden of his hiss. "Nix,
'"j ' amy ngni wncro you are.
"My good mnn," roplied Mis. Glsh, "did
you think I had any Intention of arising
after I discovered your presonce?"
Tho midnight visitor here committed a
technical blunder of considerable rouse
qilonce. Without rcnlylne to .Mrs GIhIi'h
query, he removed his searchlight from
ner, to sweep It around the room.
" Where's yer dough?" ho growled
hoarsely.
Mrs. Glsh reached ono nund quickly un
dcr her pillow.
"In that dresser," sho answered.
The burglar Jumped for tho piece of fur
nlturo Indicated.
Bang!
A bullet missed the mnrauder bv n ham
four feet nnd plugged a picture of Doro
thy In the left dimple.
Tho burglar lied Into the hall and lost
his way. Downstairs he dashed, with
mother in pursuit, brazing away at every
Jump.
Dorothy and Lillian awoke.
"What's that, I wonder, sister dear?"
quoth Lillian.
"Search me," answered Dorothy.
"Sounds llko somebody was making a
Keyatone comedy In tho front hall."
Tho sisters bravely ventured forth,
after donning their most bewitching ki
monos, nnd peeped over nnother's shoulder
while sho fired her last shot at a burglar
disappearing over tho front lawn. Then
Lillian telephoned for the police. They
came, hut not being of Mack Sennett's
force, they wero unnble to do anything
except nsic questions nnd clutter up tho
front stoop.
No blood stains wero discovered, so It
ls thought Mrs. Glsh did not hit the
burglnr.
"Hut I bet sho scared him!" said Dor
othy.
None of the policemen would take the
bet.
The Arcadia Is playing "Tho Moral
Fabric" all this week. It ls a Triangle-Kay-Bee
Inco supervised film.
The Stanley opens this week with
"Audrey," with Paulino Frederick, u
screen adaptation of the famous novel. On
Thursday, Friday and Saturday the fea

Sweet.
The Palace offering the first half of the
week Is "To Have and To Hold," with

ham's Doublo," with Tyrone Power, will

"THE DEVIL" FOR LENT
Clever Satire Presented by the Arvine
Flayers at American
"The Devil," by Ferenc jrolnar, which
had wide vogue severe! year ago. fur
nished tho George Arvine Players an ex
cellent vehicle to display their versatile
talents last night at tho American The
atre. The story concerns tho love of an artist
for a former sweetheart, who has married
a man of means. Tho husband wishes
her to sit for her portrait, but she fears
that the flame of love will be rekindled
and tries to avoid the meeting.
George Arvine interpreted the part of
tho Devil, originally played by George
Arllss, In a creditable manner. Itlchard
La, Salle was seen as Karl Nahler, tho
artist, and Ruth Robinson as Olga Hoff
man. The cast Included Marie Warren.

" 'The Little Minister" Is a queer old
thing there's no denying It "
What n plendld start thnl would have
made I Tha kind of thing n critic thinks
up over supper when 1 knows Juft the
sort of old-fn3hloned pla he Is going 'o
see. And after thnt Intlmnte nnd blase
start would havo come n short little sophis
ticated glnnce down the vistas of early
Bnrrle sentlmentnllty: n luting of the
"Asides"; a recapitulation of n few of the
Impossibly rapid exits nnd entrancos by
which tho story gets over the high places;
even yes, undoubtedly a short but au-
tnorltativo rcllection on Harries bathetic
and convenient vlow of that I. W. W. of
other days, tho revolting weavers who
burned their looms, tho enpual Industrial
revolution upon which the playwright
reared tho eternal and niRgnlncen'. super
structure ot Babble's nnd Gavin's sentl
montnl and comic adventure. And. of
course, n liberal lot of admissions of how
much "quaint humor" nnd "human detail"
Bnrrle succeeded In larding Into his play
for its savory snhatlon. Also some words ,
of praise for the "delectable personality"
by which Miss Adams raised tho wliule en
tertnlnment to a plain where such critical
rnrpingH as the foregoing become mon
strous. A pretty notion, a quaint review al
most ns pretty and ns quaint as Barrio
hlmrelf. But, nlas! how Impossible to
write. "Tho Little Minister" not only
turned out to be perennially delicious In
humor, sentiment and Intrigue, but Miss
Adams accomp'.'uhed a masterpiece of
presentation thnt dwarfs any other angle
of attack.
Babble may have been "everything a
yoman ought not to be" In the eyes of
n minister Miss Adams Is everything a
"star" and n "personality" ought not to
be In tho eyes of n manager. She Is
everything that the average manager Is
not. She Is a producer, a stage manager,
an olectriclnn. She ends by giving us the
most perfectly keyed production of senti
mental and humorous romanco that It has
recn my good fortune to see.
To begin with, a enst. Herself at the
head, arch, lovely, whimsical, gracious,
capricious, In a word that most pieclous
of histrionic possessions, a "personality."
Not Bllllo Burklan ono-sided attrnctlve
nex.s, but rich personal resources molded
by art. And tho molding process ln going
on steadily from year to year. Improving
the finished product.
Tho most Important clement to consider
In that progress ls, of course, the thing in
which sho excels as pioneer stage produc
tion, and part of that Is selecting nnd dis
ciplining other players as she disciplines
herself.
Some of her company ate glorious
standbys, R. Peyton Cart6r, Fred. Tyler,
Morton Selten nnd doubtletu a good many
more. Tho rest Dallas Anderson, J. M.
McFarlane, Mnrtln Sands, Wallace Jack
son, ono "C. Gay," whom we may suspect
of "doubling" as Mr. Tyler, Ada Boshell,
David Torrence, almost tho entire cast.
In fact have been welded Into an en
semble that suggests at moments the sim
ple perfection of the Irish Players and
thnt Is always the perfect vehicle for sen
timental and humorous romance.
Tho rarest of Miss Adams' extra-mural
achievements Is the stage management of
tho whole thing, "business," sets and
lights. Her deep night skies, the warm
direct light of the calciums In the bal
conies, her abolition of the stupid old
"foots," tho reticence of design In houses
and trees, all inako her able to mount
that most dllHcult of plays, one which
demands exteriors what horrors that !
word has raised up! and exteriors nt
night. With tho footlights tempered by I
the calcium, she gives us a singularly tine I
and dignified Interior, worthy of Its namo I
s the hall at Rintoul Castle. !
But don't let's permit Miss Adams to bo- I
come too satisfied with herself. She has n '
crlmo to answer for. It Isn't the minor '
misdemeanor or using nmber moonlight
because It is warmer und altogether pret
tier than blue-green, or keeping It so
bright that holding up a little tin lantern
to read by is something nkln to that oper
ation which some one mistook for "gliding
the Illy." Such quibbles would be only
our way of showing Miss Adams that wa
aro Just as far In front of tho theatrical
procession as she Is. Miss Adams' real
crlmo of last night wa3 beginning au 8.15
performance at 8:35. it Ih no excuse to
reply. "Wasn't It worth it?" K. M.

MANY ARTISTIC ACTS
IN SHOW AT KEITH'S
Melville Ellis and Irene Eor-
doni Head Big Musical
Bill Which Pleases
Art In the extreme permeates the show
at Keith's. It bobs up persistently, giving
the performance a tone which Is de
cidedly "lyceum csque "
One cannot help but wonder should this
demand for "class" continue If the word
"vaudeville" will not evenlunlly give way
to the word "muslcalo" or "concert" Just
ns vaudeville succeeded "variety."
By way of Illustration. Melville Ellis,
who headlines with Miss Irene Uordonl,
plays the piano amid nrnnee tinted sllk-
llke cycloramlo suroundlns. dotted with
pretty medallions Miss Bordonl sings In
various gowns. The pair mado n decided
hit. due largoly to the efforts of Mr. Ellis.
Continuing the artistic Idea, Burton
Daniels and Lester Conrad appeared be
fore a beautiful dark plush drop ln plnno
and violin selections They olfered clns.it
cal nnd popular numbers which stirred the
hearts of the music lovers, who Bhowored
tho somewhat jouthful artists with ap
plause Beautiful gray hangings provided the
atmosphere for Mile. Vera Snbltm, a re
markably gifted dancer, who presented
"Fantasies of tho Dance " She was ns
slstcd by Cleveland Bronner. Without
any blowing of trumpets this nglle couple
produced a series of dances which wns
ubout tho best seen at Keith's this season.
Tho artistic Idea was even carrlod to a
"ball bouncing" act. shown by the Alex
ander Brotheis. They bounced rubber
balls In expert fashion before a rod plush
drop nnd by way of emphasizing art woro
dress suits. But thoy delUorcd the goods
ns fnr as ability was concerned.
The regular stage scenery wns used by
Prances Nordstrom. William Plnlthnm nnd
company In the comedy, "All Wrong." The
playlet, by Miss Nordstrom, pictures nil
unhappy mnrrlcd couple, whose woes are
duo to thu fact that tho husband prefers
his books to his wife. Sho reprimands
him for his Indlfferonce. nnd In n mo
ment of hysteria deplores tho fact that
ho la so terribly correct and tiresome.
Tho wlfo then fnlls asleep and dreams
that her husband Is really a crook, who
kills a man who comes to unmnsk him.
A pistol shot awakens her from tho
dream. Tho dream Is acted In reality
by tho husband, and the wlfo Is so
Kind that It Is not truo thnt slio loves
her husband better than ever.
Ruby Norton and Snmtny Leo presented
nn net of concentrated quality. It was u'
case of merit every minute In the way of
songs and dances. They received the kind
of upplause which augurs big type In tho
billing nt nn early date.
New songs In snappy stylo were offered
by Marguerite Farrell, who made her llrst
Philadelphia appearand'. She and tho
nudlcucc beenmo friends quickly nnd It's a
snfe bet thai she'll drop around ngv.u.
Foster Bnll and Ford West, ln a mllli. ry
suit, wero a lilt ns usual. An excellent
animal net presented by Captain Gruber
nnd Mile. Adellna closed the show.
