Ly?i, 'James-presented "Xhe I.lttle 1'rlncesa" lie-
lore, tno io0f"nis ann u Mas a cuarining
success. Yesterday Mary Plckford was
shown In this samo part upon tho screen
of the- Stanley. TVare was a great dif
ference, however. In he two vetslons, for
the limitless possibilities of the motion
' picture camera allowed of the Introduction
of many Incidental c.plwxles which vreto
(appealing and beautiful. Moth the Indian
and the Kngllsh BCencn nro Incorporated.
Then, too, a largo part of the lllm Is given
over to the visualization tf tho talo of All
Ba6a from tho "Tho Arabian N'lghts."
It Is hard to determlnn Jmt whore tJie
duties of tho art director and tho stage
manager begin and leave off In this pro
duction, for It Is a. triumph both of di
rection and hlstrlonlam. Director Nellan
has handled the entire film In such a way
as- to emphasize Jllsa Plcltford's youthful
appeal. For the supporting players he hns
selected tall actors to accentuate tho con
trast There arc several scenm of photo
graphic beauty which a few years ago
would have been thought unattainable.
Stary Plckford well, she's Jurst vvinsom
Mary, tho most popular of femlnlno hcreen
stars. Just why the Artcraft Company de
sires to hldo tho Identity of Its auxiliary
plajor.s Is not easily understood, but
Marjory Daw, tha new leading lady for
Douglas Fairbanks, Is called Zhsu Pitts.
She has a character similar to that she
portrayed in "Ilebecca of Kfcnnybrook
Farm," and she hero wins decided success
In the part of a slawy. Another misnamed
player Is Norman Kaiser, who appears uiion
the program as Kerry. In tho William Kox
forces Sonla Markova Is said to bo none
other than Gretchcn Ilartman. Kathcrlno
Orimth, Ann Sohacfer, (iortrudo Short.
Loretta DIakc, CSustave von Feyfferltlt!!,

If you are seeking new steps for" this
winter's dancing and expect to learn them
from watching Mrs. Vernon Castle dnnre,
then don't go to seo this motion picture.
But If you would be entertained for an hour
with a good mystery story that Is filled with
action and Interest, then you will find the
show nt tho Palace very entertalnlnic. Sel
dom arc productions featuring any one not
primarily reputed as a screen player alto
gether satisfactory as motion pictures. Ill
this case Mrs. Castlo does snmo effective
screen acting nnd can easily be counted
upon as a future cinema favorite. The
artistry with which this production has
been Btnged Is a credit to Director Kltz
maurlco and to his photographer. The film
editor has cut tho story with Intelligence
gy which sustains Interest throughout the un-
!. folding1. Of especial interest to local movlo
h "fans" are the leaders directing attention

Feminine Impersonation by main actors
may hne a limited appeal, but in tho cute
of Julian Kltlnge It can become an artistic
treat. This Is due to his thorough under
standing of Its limitations and the good
taste in his art. In this, his Hecond i-creen
play, he is again afforded an opportunity
to portray both masculine and feminine
characters. As a "lady" he displays some
handsome gowns which caused much com
ment from the feminine portion of the
audience at the Arcadia. In tho picture he

tha play takes Its title. There Is plenty
of comedy in this subject both in the antics
of Cltinge In feminine garb und In the
leaders.
Donald Crisp, who directed this release.
Is responsible for most of the good work of
the players, for he has a faculty of ex
tracting the best work from cery actor

casta, lie was formerly associated with
the D. IV. Grlfflth forces. Besides Eltlngo
there appear In his support Fred Church,

The return engagement of the spectacular
film play. "The Daughter of the Gods,"

ANNIVERSARY BILL
DELIGHTS AT KEITH'S
Adelaide and Hughes With Fox
and Ward Link Vaudeville of
the Past and Present
There's a great birthday party at Keith's
this week. In fact, there's a double Jubilation
there, for In addition to celebrntlnc the
fifteenth year nf Its birth on Chestnut street
this week also marks the golden anniver
sary of Vuk and Ward, who have been
vandevllllm? for fifty years
The ,how is one long feast of fun nnd
surprises. lery one In tho festixltles
shines ho rcsplendently that you have a
llttlo trouble picking thn leaders.
If your taste runs to the poetry of mo
tion, then ou would hand the palm to
Adolnldo and Hughes, thos airy-fairy
dancers, who seem to fio.it through spate
They offer a number of original treatlons
wldch tell an Interesting story Their net
Is staged amid an enxlronment whlih
awaken Inspiration. These artists danco
as though they were real children of tho
woods, and the result Is highly giatlfylng.
A storm of applause rewarded them.
It Is doubtful If there has eter been a
better musical production at Keith's than
the Futuristic Hevue. Nine excellent sing
ers took those present on a musical ram
ble among tha works of the masters. Tho
way was led bv Countevs de I,-onardl,
whoe magical lolln brightened tho routo
considerably
One of the great big treats of tho show
Is Walter Hrower. He is billed ns "Tho
lolly Jester," and more than Htes up to
the title. lie is Just about a thousand miles
ahead of the usual vaudeville monnlogWt.
Ills btorles and quips dual with today and
the comedy strikes your ear with a wel
come newness. Mr. Hrower deserves a
vote of thanks for keeping entirely away
from the so-called "nut" stuff and omitting
the "stalling" methods of many of his fellow
craftsmen. Incidentally, ho sprinkles some
wholesome phlloKophy nnd wortli-whllo facts
through his welcome chat, and the truths go
right home. He had the hous in a con
tinuous laugh at 10 '30 last night, follow
ing virtually the whole show. A great big
handshake was extended to Fox and Ward,
nlthough this veteran blackface team has
survived threo wars and expect to live
through another; most of their material Is
more up to dite than that dispensed by
the most recent acts In vaudeville.
They ptc us "Old I'ntle Ned." "Dark
town Patrol" and many other airs which
were popular when some of the grayhends
In last night's audience were playing mar
bles. Then these two versatile youths of
nearly three score and ten polished off
an nrtlstlc danco which was full of style
and "zip,"
They wero rewarded with prolonged ap
plause. Whiting and Hurt offered some brand
new songs In their own meritorious style.
Lew Madden and company made a decided
hit with their musical skit "Monday Morn
ing," while Marie Fltzglbbon In good char
acter stories nnd the Llttlejohns, In m
artistic juggling and wire act, also pleased
The show ended with "Creation," a
scenic offering, telling of the birth of tho
universe
The theatre Is In gala attire for Its birth
day and tho spirit of autumn is everywhere
in evidence. J, G. C.
"The Runaway" Droadway
One of the hits of tho show at the Broad
way last night was "The Itunaway," a rural
l-omedy of the "crook" tpe. The lines are
clever and brought many laughs. The plot
is logical and abounds with amusing situa
tions. The plays In the cast were excellent
In their respective roles. There's a wealth
of realism In this sketch.
"The Betting Bettys," a tabloid musical
comedy with a decidedly raco truck air, was
also well receUed. There was tho usual
number of songs and specialties. An at
tractive pony chorus added to the success
of the offering.
A treat for the kiddles was found In "Jack
and the lieanstalk," the feature film rlTer-
Ing. Little Virginia Leo Corbln Is la the
cast
Joe Hortlz and his minstrels delighted
with their songs and comedy, whilo "Going
to the Wedding," prerenteej by Kdmonds and
lidna I-ecUom, a Philadelphia girl, was one
of tho delights of the show.
"Regular Army Man" Globe
Patriotism sprinkled with an abundance
of up-to-date songs made "Tho Hegular
Army Mnn" the headline number nt the
Globe last night. Tho cast nnd chorus are
up to the minute and the scenic effecta left
nothing to be desired
"The Miser's Dream," a dramatic sketch,
was presented hy Ilynian Adler and com
pany. Slgnor Glannlnl, the Italian tenor,
offered u repertoire of songs and Klncald's
"Kilties" played Scotch airs on the bag
pipes. The surrounding bill Included Haley and
Noble, Adonis and his dogs, Sampson and
Douglas, Arthur Devcy. Cahlll and Homalne
and the Three Melody Fiends.
Several reels of interesting motion pic
tures added to the success of the evening's
entertainment.
"Sidewalk Cabaret" Cross Keys
"A Sidewalk Cabaret" is the headllner of
a eood bill at the Cross Keys Theatre this
weK. Pretty girja and clever comedians
mixed catchy songs, comedy und dancing In
their act. Fred Heider and Nettle Packer
have the leading roles and are surrounded
r a good company, "Hutch" McDevItt,
"tho millionaire for a day," who has
figured In the newspapers froln time to
time. Is also on the bill with a clever mono
loaue und a number of good stories
"Butch," It will be remembered. Is the citi

ing comedian, although not billed ;ih a
headllner, was unquestionably the hit of
this week's show at the Nion Grand. Ills
many songs and lapld-llrn talk bubbled oer
