In this deliglilful story of Japan there
is n wealth of pictorial beauty nnd In
teresting legend, although some of the
scenes might have been made n trifle
more artistic by the simple process of(
tmtiujr. It is difficult to believe that
some of the scenes were not taken in the
J land of the Nipponese, but llicy were nil
j made in a California studio where the
settings are to be permanent.
I Viola IXina is excellent in the difficult
role of the Japanese girl nnd she gives!

while not difficult, is well handled. Ed- '

VICTORIA "Should a Woman Tell." with
Alice Lake. Story by Finis Fox and di
rected by John Ince. Metro play.
Of course n woman should tell and
so should a man if they want to be the
first ones to spread the fame of a now
star. In Alice Lake is found a de
lightful actress, nud this nlav civoshor
a part for her first starring vehicle like

J. no nephew ot tins woman proves a
villain. The girl marries and in a short
time sne meets her tislung village sweet
heart, from which tense dramatic situa
tions develop. All ends well, although
the question of the title is left to future
spectators.
The night photography and the rescue
at sea are very effective. The director
has handled the delicate subject with
good taste. He has kept the action
moving at a fairly rapid rate except in
the middle of the story.

Heretofore the star seemed to have

but a specialist in this form of disease
comes to her rescue by letting her in
dulge in all of the criminal traits she
desires until the time comes for the
restoration of her normal senses. There
is a touch of the trickery of the crimi
nals a la "The Miracle Man." The
denouement is too good to expose htre.

"Twin Beds," the farce of marital
complications by Margaret Mayo and
Salisbury Field, won new admirers on
Its return engagement which opcucd
last night at tho Walnut. More than

The story Is built around the difficul
ties of three married couples living In
n fashionable apartment house. With
all the neighbors, desirable and unde
sirable, always under foot, they first
achieve neighborlincss and then have It
thrust upon them und finally move to
escape it. There are many hilarious
complications.
Dainty Lois Bolton again heads the
comedy contingent und shows charm atd
vivacious personality in the portrayal
of the young wife. The special asso
ciated cast intact includes It. M. D'An
gelo. Virginin Fairfax, Thomas J.
Kvans, Knthryn Mills, Thomas II,

touches. of the soldier life and filed w th
patriotic doings. Mi" Dcsn nd was

las Adams, an American ace, who has
been reported lost in battle, and for
whom Madge wears a gold star, al
though she has now become engaged to
a young lawyer. , Adams, however, re
turns and how the tangle is unraveled

everything that the human voice can
accomplish. She gave three big colora
turu numbers, "Cnro Nome," from
Itigoletto. the Vlllaucllo of DcH'Acnua
and "Qui la' voce." from Puritan!, the
rtwo last with flute obligate In theso

trol of the voice which she has. and
the uncanny nocurncy with which she
makes tho extended skips required by
the music. There is no sliding from

Is tnken squarely in the center, no
matter how great oi1 chromatic the
interval may he. Strangely enough,
with this nccurncy in long Intervals,
there was now and then n slight ten
dency to strike nn upward note slightiy
