work !
Miss Archibald had the material and
tho (terminal Idea for a genuine comedy
of character, but sho preferred, on the
whole, to adapt her characters to her
Invented situations rather than to havo
the situations conditioned by tho char
acters. At that the characters, although
typ8. havo many touches of Individ
uality. The author Is somewhat sketchy
and loose-ended ln her devising and de
velopment of plot material, hut skill Is
shown ln pointing climates and curtains.
Homo passages are not organic to tho
plot, such as tho Isolated episode of the
telephoning maid, with Ita repetition, but
serve their purpose of drawing laughs.
Tho dialogue Is of the sprightly variety,
smart ln tone and constantly epigram
maticcoruscating Is the word some
times used to describe this.
The production gains by Its llnolv se
lective casting. Janet Beecher, tho f,doc
tor," centralizes attention by the ea.se,
good humor and finesse of her acting.
If there must be a "dea ex machlna" In
a farce, by all means let It be such n
combination of Venus and Minerva os
Miss Ileecher. As tho cardiac specialist
she wins hearts as well as cures them.
Charlotto Walker Is the drably clad sub
urban mouse, who becomes qulto as
gayly garbed, skittish and even shim
mying town mouse nnd by new methods,
such as doing tho opposite ot what the
"brute" expects, reclaims him from the
grip of the tompernmental singer. The
singer Is played wllh a bit of proper
hardness by Jane Houston, nnd Knnln
Mnrlnoff shows a good deal of shoulders
and abandon as tho other temperamental
person, the artist. Mrs. Tom wlso la
to tho life a gadding vine of a suburban
wife, whose orange blossoms had faded
a quarter of a century or so before, but
who still loves her monotonous husband.
i Philip Merlvalo os the lawyer who wins
tho "doctor" and William Morris as the
I husband restored to rtallratlon of his
wife's esstntlal charms are excellent us
the foils they are Intended to be.
! Dnvorce court lawyers may not care
much for this "doctor" and her prescrlD
tlons, but persons In quest of light en
ttrtainme.tt will.

might bo n enso where tho reading of
tho story which Albert Payson Terhune
wrote, was much better than tho movie
Izcd version.
Charles Malsxin, the director, has en
deavored to recreate tho atmosphere of
the story, which In laid ln tho tenement
district of N'ew York not far from
Brooklyn Bridge. In order further to
carry out tho illusion of the film ntory,
the Buhler "prologue" shows ln strik
ing fashion the roof top of a tenement
house with tho bridge In the distance.
Against twinkling stars In tho deep
background nre shown th players repre
senting the principals ln the Mm. Strcct
nolses, clanging street car bell, phono
graphs vying with the organ grinder,
eta, strive lor supremacy of tonal ef
fects. The "prologue" proved one moro
that this Innovation can bo made an Im
portant part of any film presentation.
The fine singing of Henri Scott was
cordially received. Ho offered an aria
from "Don Carlos" nnd a musical setting
to Kipling's "On the Uoad to Mn.ndal.iy."

Tho main feature. '.'The Frontier of
the Stars," gets Its namo from tho fan
that the crippled daughter of a detective
knows also the roof of the apartment
house as her playground. The stars are
her frontier. To her roof comes ft crook
who, in trying to hldo fiom Justice, be
comes acquainted with the girl. Later Is
shown the shock the girl gets when the
crook Is In danger and which results In
her walking Of course tho love interest
then manifests Itself and tho crook li

Sfanlon -"The lxve Light" brings
charming Mary I'irkford ln a new type
of Italian girl. Heretofore nearly every
Italian actress has been portrayed ns
having 1 aven tresses, but along comes
Mary with her blonde hair" and again
captivate her legion of admirers. Fran
cos Marlon participated trlplv in this
production because she wrote the htoiy,
prepared the scenario and directed the
production. Tho result Is a satisfactory
one and the artistic touch of the femlnlim
direction gives added charm.
Remember "Suds?" Well, here Is Mlis
I'lckford ln another character role, but
it is better than that of the laundrj girl
for she has had ft better surrounding.
The plot has to do with a little Italian
girl who has Just sent her brother ott
to join the eolors. The girl Is made a
l-per of the lighthouse. She finds t
deserter who makes love to her and they
are secretlv wed, At midnight Hour ner
husband has tho glrl-vvlfo signal a love
tiKcsnge to him. Morning brings news
of a destroyed troop-ship upon which her
brother was a passenger. During the
hu-iband's sleep he talks and then lt Is
revealed to the girl she has virtually
Mllei her own brother, for the man Is
a 'iennan spy. He Is killed In escaping
and the girl marries an old sweetheart
who has waited for her faithfully.

In other places, Dorothy Dickson, the
dancer, la the example, but her name Is
not known to many movie fans unless
tbev be of the commuter type of Phlla-delphla-N'ew

Ouida Bergerc wrote tho scenario for
her husband-director, Oeorge FItz

lavish liroductlon with settings that vie
with the De MUlo brand for Humptuoui

Money is of little value when one has
to "pay the piper" for the dancing.
That Is shown In a striking way bv this
story of a pampered girl who weds in

her divorced mother. Also la shown the

Briefly, the story deals with tho two

TRANSPLANTING JEAN'
OF GALLIC PIQUANCY
Translation and 'Acting Make
French Farco "Sympathetic"
to American Audiences
Ilroail Philadelphia Is not Parts, and
American customs are not, nnd never
will be, Onlllc customs; but attempts
nre often made, on the stage, to blend
them.
Such nn attempt Is Trnnsp1nntln
Jean," translated from the French of De
Flers nnd Calllavet Indefatigable col
laborators on piquant farces and now
presented in outwardly respectable gnrb
to American audiences. Hnllnrn Thomp
son Is the skillful ndnptcr who has made
It lesi continental nnd moro American
without "purltnnlzlng" It. It will not
offend people of the world.
For "Transplanting Jean" Is not racy
or salacious In the sense thnt so many
imported-French farces have been. But
lt Is based upon an Idea nnd depends on
situations wholly Calllc nnd "unsympa
thetic" on this side of tho water In their
original nnd purposed meaning. For ex
ample, what probably seemed Immensely
nnd lntrnse;y nmuslng to Parisians In
tho story ot tho dissolute, Htisceptlblp
father, his uncouth natural son and the
lattcr's sweetheart, who eventually turns
her affections to the father, has. In tho
translated form, oftentimes more of un
pleasantness than of humor.
However, thero In no denying the fact
that the final effect of "Transplanting
Jean" is thnt of a pleasantly spiced com
edy, both of charncter nnd situation, ex
ceedingly well translated nnd logically
and artistically constructed.
The flnnl factor In relieving the play of
ofTcnslvenetii lies In tho personalities nnd
acting of Its co-stars, Arthur Byron and
Margaret Lawrence. The former, who
helped direct nnd also staged the play,
never swerves from a plune of sustained
high comedy, delightfully foreign, often
qulto the "great lover" and always an
artist to hln finger tips which ho uses
with the perfection of grace.
To Miss Lawronco fall tho play' "big
momentB" nt tho end of tho Second net.
nnd sho rises superbly. Philadelphia ban
been lucky ln welcoming charming and
talented voung femtnlno stars hero this
vear, nnd Miss Lawrence surpasses her
advance notices. She and Mr. Byron
niako palatable the union of "winter"
nnd "spring." tho rouo ami tho young
glrj, nt tho end.
Mention must also be mado of Rich
ard Barbee, who plays a difficult role
generally well, und eometlmcM with dis
tinction. Tho others, especially Forrest
P.oblnson as tho Cure, aro excellent, Tho
settings aro moro than ndequato.
