M Singer turally, she decide
in Film te preve te them
' 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

an old Vltagraph favorite, wlie was
aeen en the legitimate stage here this
year with Ethel ISarrjmere in "De

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

a garage, find they liavc been swlmllcu
and proceed te make it a micccm, any
how. In the process Arllfrs dens over
alls and deles out gasoline in Ms own

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
llyered sheet a long icperteIB of
worth-while things. The same tbeuId go

These actors hnc plujed he miiny pic
turesque, flashing, unusual roles that
they, far above the ucragc, should
perpetuate tbe&e characterisatiens in
celluloid.
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
CDardeu s famous drama, detailing the
leve tery of the wife of the Emperor
Justinian, ruler of
Smrieu Play the Reman Empire
"Theodora" in the sixth cen-
en Screen tury. The heroine
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

"Caesar" and "Cablria." Anether
