EXCEPTIONAL PLAY
.
Irish Company 'Gives Notable
Addition te Season's List' of
Olstinetlve Productions
Breaik-A little company of player
from Ireland, ever the seas, gave Phil
adelphia one of Its finest lessens in the
art of character acting last nljilit, and
mlUrn se much that was laughable
eml whole-hearted that the meanest -splrited
person could net accuse them of
being prosy or, for ene moment, unin
teresting. When the rati In taWen nf thn unit
of the year, the Irish Players' presen
tation of Lennex Robinson's r'Whlte'
iicaaca uey" must be Included near the
ten' of the list of the well written, and.
what Js mere strange, it must be placed
Just as high in the ranks of the enter
taining. Therein lies its originality
Us widespread appeal:
Thi first-night autllence found It, a
tWO-Mded creation, hilllr. hnrlinm In-
accident, for two standards of appre
ciation. These that approached it as
a study In character were rewarded by
a gallery of cameo-llke portraits that
never for an instant stepped from their
frames. These that went te pass away
an evening were rewarded by a spar
kling comedy that net only brought the
laugh of the minute, but left atmillc
in -the memory long after the last cur
tain fell.
The Gceghegan family and their
white-headed boy," at once their joy
J"1 their burden, wcre as amusing as
the individual members of the audience
cared te make them, or they wcre as
humanly real.
It took great acting te put ever the
real ferce of Mr. JtoblnsenTs brilliantly

clair, well remembered here from eight
yr nine years age. ine man Is uncanny
In his power, whether it be for the
mere easily turned lfltlffh. nr tli mitiHn
gentler suggestion of patlies or slyness.
It would net be fair te say that Sin
clair dominated the scenes, though he
might have done se with an ordinary
company. Here, however, was the In
defatigable Meire O'Neill, red-faced,
Dueyant, capable as ever, a mistress of
me cemeuy art, in the role of Aunt
Ellen. "Sydney Morgan as Geerge,
peer, harassed, ncevlsh Oeertre. the
first te rebel against the spoiling of the
mother's darling, the "wblte-headed
boy," was another who put untold art
as well as fun into hts reie. Arthur
Shields was n most delightfully believ
able' youngster in the name part, even
in his mint selfish moments. And the
rest of tl.e family, and their servant, and
weir ncignners, were done, with a pos
sible exception or se, with a rare kind
of creative ability that startled the slug
gish, tatcd theatregeer out of his seat.
Jt would be futile te detail the plot of
such n play as this like aunty ine a
chemical test te a wonderful meal. It
Is really all explained In the title. Denis
Gceghegan is the "white-headed boy"
at the beginning, and he is still the sninc
person at the end. All the line plans
te bring him te bis senses and set him
te work go te naught, and the prospects
arc, at the final curtain, that he will be
just ns serenely spoiled by his wife, and
by his children when he has them; and
by their children, tee, which is about
as tar as the case need be taken, every
body realized what they were doing;
some of the famllywcre even inclined
te be bitter about it, but there seemed
a sort of fatality about the thing. Denis
was born te be a "white-headed boy";
they couldn't de anything te clianze that
state of things even if they wanted te.
And that's about the way the audi
ence felt about it, tee.
GIVE NEW COMEDY
BY WILLIAM HODGE
Author-Acter Introduces "Deg
Leve" te Adelphl Audience.
Is Called On for a Speech
Adelphl If a very loose! v con cen
btructed play with a puzzlingly dif
fuse fctery and unconvincing situations
can have much influence en the public
people will hereafter hesitate before In
vesting their money in a dej farm.
William Hedge's new three-act comedy,
"Deg Leve." formerly called "Beware
of Dogs," tells about n veryscstlmable
young man (Mr. Hedge himself, of
course) who. te nurse an Invalid sister
back te health, takes a deg farm nnd
gets into all herts of trouble net only
through the things that the prize dogs
de te each ether and the neighbors,
but through the unsavory reputation his
home gets by the bootlegging and steal
ing of his servants and the purposes le
which he innocently permits two of his
Lest customers te put it. Of ceurxc, a
perfectly nice girl gets mixed up in it
and he nnd she fall in love and all
that sort of thing and it all comes out
happily in the cud.
If one had never seen a real comedy,
this ene would prove quite amusing.
If one had never Fcin a genuine corn
median, Hedge might, and probably
would, provnke te very delighted laugh
ter. It'b all a matter of cempnrihent
e" unlnthitv or something of that tort.
Anyway, 1 ledge and "Deg Leve" cry
evidently pleased the crowded house
Inst night for they made him come nut
after the second act nnd make u fipcceh
and there vu one man In the back who
i r uldn't help laughing even when he
wasn't intended te laugh. He may be
better coached by tonight.
Hedee. who also wrote the show.
acted Just as his host of admirers have
learned te expect him te act. That in.
hn didn't act at all. He just played
himself, with the same unrelieved mono
tone of voice nnd expression nnd lack
of gesture. Hut with n show written
especially te exploit this characteristic
it went well, just as Uustcr Kenten's
fre.cn face is especially funny where a
Hinlln would Mil the humorous effect.
"Deg Leve" is se constructed as te
give Hedge n full evening in which te
say clever things in responte fe people
who come in first from ene side and
then from the ether, and most of the
filings he says nre undoubtedly clever
and humorous or clse they wouldn't
linve been used se often before by ethers.
Geerge Ilarbier in tltc dlfueult
"heavy"' part of the cause of most of
HedKc'H troubles, docs a cenurfmlable
piece of acting, which would naturally
lime been expected of him by Phlladel
pliliuiK. who lemcmber him as u de
pendable and efficient member of sev
eral stock companies. Lclghten Stark
in clever and convincing In his roir reir
stable role, nnd Gustave Helland is
i rally excellent as thu Italian man of
all work.
Other members of the cast are Mrs.
Charles O. Craig, Ann Davis, n charm
ing and natural young girl; Philip
Dunning, Edith Hlinyne, also known en
the screen, where her uneducated arniH
never liethered her; Jehn Webster, a
Pekinese and an Kuglish bulldog,
Gwyn Tuder, as the adventuress, de
serves special mention, but it is kindest
net te give it te her.

BILL OF NOVELTIES :
, SHOWN AT STANLEY
"Four Seasons," "Carmen" and
' Lloyd .Comedy Vie Other
Pictures Open
Stanley The city's harshest critic of
the photoplay should see this bill. It
would convert him if anything could.
There arc se many geed things thnt
a first choice is difficult, but "The
Four Seasons," a remarkable nature
study, comes pretty near te carrying
away the palm. Here, Indeed, is the
screen novelty of the year. The con
ception, credited te Charles Urban nnd
Raymond L. Dltmars, is worthy of
high praise; its execution Is just as
fine.
Animals. Insects, fish and birds, in
cluding some of the shyest species
known, are the actors in this remark
able drama. Their stories are enacted
against the changing background of the
four seasons. Ludicrous benr cubs and
awkward fawn le fpr our sympathy In
the spring setting, and the great
awakening of Nnturc Is actually out
lined en the screen In a series of fas
cinating views of voedlnnris nnd
meadows. The dramatisatien of a
thunder storm is the feature of the
summer scenes, and the comluaef win
ter and Its effect nn wild life feimsn
scries of pictures that arc revelatory
and all tee short.
In addition, there Is a condensed ver
sion of Gcraldlnc Farrar's version of
"Carmen." But don't get the idea by
the word "condensed" that the result
Is a jumpy, Jerky hash of a (crren
classic. Instead it is a compact,
smooth-running, spirited unfolding of
Merrltnc's great tragedy in lyhlch Far
rar gives an unforgettable portrayal.
Accompanied by Bizet's strains this
film is ever a delight and the girls the
"flapper fanettes") can have an oppor
tunity of seeing Wnllace Held with
"slders" and a spirit of revenge.
Then, there Is Hareld Lloyd's latest
comedy. "A Sailor Made Man." It is
longer than its predecessors and mav
net be ns continuously amusing, but it
is easily one of his best. Where the
fun pauses for a minute nn Interesting
and coherent story with thrills nnd an
attractive background take its place.
Hareld is show as a youth with
plenty of money and mere nerve. Told
by his girl's father that he must get
te work and quit being a loafer, he en
lists in the navy. He and the girl meet
again en the' ether side of the world,
nnd when an Indian princeling kidnaps
her Hareld stages a breath-taking and
laugh-producing rescue.
Altogether it is one of these rare bills
in which there are no lagging, boring
mement1). There Is something te please
everybody always en the screen, and
that, combined with nn excellent musical
program headed by Cacsare Ncsi. make
It pretty nearly Ideal film entertain
ment. Arcadia "Jane Eyre" is another ef
these screened answers te the chnrge
tnnt mere is no art in the movies.
Huge Ballin. the producer nnd'dlrecter.
has taken Chnrlotte Brente's famous
novel and, with a depth of purpose
that is very apparent, has translated
its. very essence nnd ntmesnherc Inte a
pictured story that ranks among the
Mticcrcst cnerts tnat motion pictures
uave given us.
v Inevitably, "Jane Eyre" lacks the
"action" quality se persistently de
manded of stories of tedav. Most ill
rectors would have interpolated action
of their own and would have rewritten
the book se as. te conform te latter-dnv
Ideas. But the story would net have
neen urente s ".lane Eyre." Ballin
has faithfully preserved the original,
only eliminating such material as could
net be included in the allowed length
ei mm ami, in one or two places, run
ning separate Incidents together te
bridge ever the gnps thus rnued. But
he has taken no liberties with the
novel.
Sccnicnlly. the production is delight
ful, the English countryside being
uuniicniea amuzine v in ihn ftTtnrinr
-locations discovered by the nreducer.
The interiors, tee. are notably faithful
transcriptions of the period of the sterj
and the costuming is quaint and charm
ing for these who admire the hoop
skirt styles.
Mabel Ballin's Madenna-like hennrr
is excellently fitted te the role of Jnje,
through the passlvenei-s of the character
as conceived by the author does net give
her the chances te score thnt she has
had in ether roles. She is. however.
alwajs a nleasinz ficure. nml nren thn
poke bonnets of the Eyre decade cannot
oiue ner attractive personality.
Nerma u Trever is ideally cast as the
somewhat forbidding lever, Mr. Rechesji
ter. Ne girl of today would think jf
being in Ievp with him. but he Is the
lever as Brente conceived him. and both
Mr. Bnllin and Mr. Trever have been
tee faithful te the original book te -attempt
te modernize its here.
Emily Fitz Rey, best remembered for
her pnrt of the mistress of Anna Moere's
bearding house in "Way Down East,"
does an outstanding chnractcr part in
lie role of Grace Peele, guardian of
Rochester's mad wife, and the maniac
herself is cleverly handled without tee
much gruesomeness. Crnuferd Kent
makes an appealing St. Jehn Rivers,
and all the ether characters arc well
bandied.
Karlton-The plight of n society
woman who mnrrics her chauffeur and
has an "L" running by her window,
and a fake piano thnt turns Inte n fni,i
"S LCi '" h.r lm.rlep I" contrasted In
"Saturday Mghl" with the equally
sad case of a washerwoman's daughter
Who marries a society mnn mwi ii
pected te talk astronomy te savants,
and falls asleep eer her wine at a for
mal banquet.
A guess that Cecil B. De Mllle is
responsible is perfectly correct. This
usually trustworthy and artistic direc
tor made "Saturduy Night" and, su
pcrficlally, it is an entertaining, often
amusing picture. Mr. De Mille takes
the two couples, marries them, as de
scribed above, shows bejend all doubt
that oil nnd wnter will net mix, and
then proceeds te unscramble them again.
Interlarded witli scenes of gorgeous gergeous gorgeeus
ncss nnd poverty are thrills of n mere
or less mechnnlcnl nature, hut real
thrills nevertheless. One of the heroes
saves his sweetheart by hanging bv one
hand from a railroad trestle while a
train sheets by : the ether here does a
rescue In a tenement fire which would
seem te Indicate that he were asbestos
clothes. A realistic and rough-and-tumble
fight between the badly twisted
characters is another enlivening fea
ture. "Saturday Night" is a grossly ex
aggerated yarn, lighted by artistic

Idiotically Impossible.
Palace The Idea of a reformed creek
doing one" Inst crooked deed te provide
for a girl nnd her invalid mother may
sound most banal and unoriginal. In
"Boomerang Bill," Lionel Barrymerc's
latest starring vehicle, there may be
unerlglnality, but there is little banality.
That this rather hackneyed plot is as
interesting and as believable as it is
must be due te Mr. Barrymerc's indi
vidual efforts plus the dlTectlen of Tem
Tcrrls. The supporting cast is by no
means inspired, but remains generally
adequate.
Barrymore has the role of a Chicago
gunman, who reforms for the love of a
girl and then tries a Inst "Jimmy Vnl
entlne" by robbing n bank te get money
te provide a home for the heroine's
aged mother. He gets caught and serves
a jail sentence. Thcu comes the rather
unmdvio-like touch. He gees at once te
the girl, expecting te find the happiness
he se richly deserves', and le nnd beheld,
she is married and he is forgotten. There
is bitterness In that ending, and It Is
all the mere poignant and appealing in
the hands of se skilled an actor as
Barrymore.
Incidentally, "Boomerang BUI" Is a
story within a story, as it opens and
closes with u scene en a park bench in
which un old detective tells the story
of the gunman in order te save a young
man from a life of crime. Jack Beyle is
the author.
Victeria That old stnge melodrama,
"Ten Nights in a Barroom," finds ade
quate presentation en the screen in the
directorial hands of Oscar Apfcl. In
certain photoplay houses It should be
Immensely successful, ns tears and
thrills nnd laughs of the most patent
sort fellow one after the ether.
Included in the hair-raising parts of
the film arc a leg jam and the burning
of nu inn, both of which, be it re
marked, are splendidly photographed.
The photoplay version, while' following
the original, has been brought up te
date by the skillful pen of L. Case Rus
sell. Regent Pela Negri appears In still
another picture which shows cither that
she Is working overtime or else thnt she
has a storehouse full of films Inid by be
fore she became famous ever here.
"The Last Payment" is a modern
story, capably directed by Geerge Ja Ja
ceby. but never risina above limited
heights. It concerns a woman of the
Latin Quarter who flees from a wild
life in I'arls te exile in Seuth Amer
ica. Later, after an unhannv mnrriaire.
she is overcome by a longing te see the
old haunts and returns te Paris, where
her guilty past rises up te block her
