M Singer turally, she decide

' hew wrong they
are, and by her successful operatic
career, accomplishes her aim. Of
course, there Is the. requisite love in
terest. In this connection, the presence of
James Itennie, huband of Dorethy
Glali, and well-known en the staee for
his performances In "Spanish Leve"
and 'Tet Luck," is particularly in
teresting. Neel Tearlc. the tuan that

which, despite its name, has nothing te
4e with wx, psychology or mentnl com
plexes. It is taken from a magazine
tery called "Idle Hands" and presents
Arliss in the role of a "certain rich
man" who has te retire by the orders
of his physician, and who is se rcstlcs

Arliss has flashed the comedy side
eften enough en the btagc. He appeared
hew only a few years age in "The
Mollusc" and bis portrayal of the Eng
lishman In Langden Mitchell's "New
Yerk Idea" was basically that of the
laugh -provoking "English Ass" type.
The screen has n wonderful acquisi

voutly te be hoped that he given Uj.jthe

worth-while things. The same tbeuId go

These actors hnc plujed he miiny pic

they, far above the ucragc, should
perpetuate tbe&e characterisatiens in

PARTS that Sarah Bernhardt has
once plajcd are almost as numerous
as the nands of the desert, and cue of
them will be played by Rita Jnlivet, the
noted continental actress who is re
membered chiefly by Americans ns the
one who heard Charles Frohman's last
1 words when the LuMtuuia was sunk.
The play is "Theodora." Vlcterlen

"Theodora" in the sixth cen-

is the daughters of
a Hen tamer In the circus at Byzantium,
who meets and fulls in love with the
heir te the threne of the Caesars. After
he becomes Empress, her affections arc
dJyerted te a jeung Greek, Andreas,
and it Is of this leve affair that the
drama and picture tell.
An Italian company made "Theo

ployed te till the enormous sets. It Is
a direct descendant of these famous
