she's reserving the special song ter
Thulisdeh andTSatahdch.
Rut Miss Jarden Is only one gem
in a vaudeville bill that will delight the
average variety fari. D. D. II. billed
as vaudeville's biggest mystery proves
te be a monelofist .who takes ISO of
the eldest jokes extant and gets ISO of
the , heartiest laughs of the evening.

Francis X. Denegan ami Amelia Al

have tied themselves into bow knots
this season. But Denegan will try te
sing. It must be" said for him that
his "Mninmy", song is the funniest
heard since Al Jolsen started the fad,
and Denegan grits his teeth louder than
even Ueergie Price. Rut Miss Allen
can dance and is a contortionist of parts
as well. . ' '
' Marlen Murray .has a little playlet by
Edwin Burke In which she pndcavers
te show the fallacy of hate, and after
uniting two .life-long enemies, herself
falls a prey te .the green-eyed monster.
It is n clever skit, brimming with geed
lines, In which O. Carrell Clucas does
work worthy of the legitimate stage.
The Quxy Four harmonize vocally
and with banjees and saxnplienc In the
most approved jstz manner. Kate Eli Eli
eor c. one of America's best women
clowns, is back in her old bit of foolish
ness, having the reliable Sam Williams
as her foil. Marcclle Fallct, a French
refugee, with her grcy-balrcd mother at
the piano, plays the violin pleasingly.
"Tip," a canine acrobat, opens the bill.
Chestnut Street Opera Heuse There
isn't much use putting "headllncrs" en
a vaudeville bill that contains that "At
Heme" act by Lulu McCenncll and
Grant and Bunk Simpsen, jii spnc et
the fact that it has been seen here be be be
fere during this season, it scores just
as big en a second hearing and the
unique personality of Miss McCenneil
and the homey, human, everyday at
mosphere of the comedy make it accept
able again.
Helle Storey, .billed for some reason
as "America's foremost coloratura so
prano," repeats and again makes one
wonder at the imagination or disregard
for veracity of press agents and impre
sarios. Rudlneff again does his smoke
pictures and his bird imitations and the
Rigolctte Rrethers, witn some clever
new stuff nnd still, for some unaccount
able reason, letting the Swanson Sisters
lntcrfcre with their act, make their'
second bow te Philadelphia.

"THE CIRCLE" ENLISTS
OLD FAVORITES' AID
Jehn Drew and Mrs. Leslie Car-
ter'Head4Cast In Sparkling
Maugham Comedy
(Si
Lyrie During 'the course of the eve
ning .which marked the'Openlng here of
W. Somerset Maugham's play, "The
Circle," ene of the characters was
asked If tin were humorous or cynical.
and he answered, "Neither; merely.
truthful;"
According te that definition. "The
Circle'" musti be a "truthful play."
Whether the author, really intended it as
such, or whether he was only having
that particular character "fib" a bit, is
hardly worthy et discussion. Certainly,
thirty years age, the period .when a cer
tain notorious elopement between two
characters of the play .took, place, "The
Circle's" sentiments r.nd climax would
have been considered profoundly shock
ing. ' Right new, it's mere than likely
that the majority of the average audi
ence ceme pretty close te sharing "Lady
Kltty's' tolerant, romantic interest in
the rash act of two young people which
exactly paralleled her .own youth.
Thirty yeats Is thirty years 1
What ls,much mere pertinent nnd Im
portant is the fact that "The Circle"
marks the, high-water mark in con
struction of this year's theatrical crop
here, and introduces two very dear old
friends in parts that it seems incredible
te think were net fashioned for them.
People have become accustomed te
dramas with last acts that give the feel
ing of a terrible let-down, that fluttcn
out into Inconsequential ineptitude.
"The Circle" docs Just the Opposite.
There are three acts, and at the rise of
the curtain en the third act every one
says te himself, "This Is the cross
road ; everything's been very interest
ing and clever, but It all depends en
this Inst act whether I would call this
a really great play." And that last act,
being far and away the best .of all, turns
the tide.
"The Circle" belongs definitely te the
regular line of recent English drama,
cleaving rather te the Plncro-cKque
than' te the Galsworthy branch, When
the' young chap from the Malay penin
sula was telling the wife of his host of
his love fcr liar and asking her te join
him away out there, the ghosts of' a
dozen Jenes or Plnere spick- nnd -span
young gentlemen who had painted the
beauties of ether corners of the glebe
appeared, and when Lady Kitty tear
fully and slmperingly recalled the joys
of her unconventional honeymoon en the
Adriatic, the Tanquernys and the
Qucxes and their brethren laughed
aloud.
Rut that's net criticizing Mr. Mau
gham. Like the smooth craftsmnn that
he is, he set out te show the weak
nesses of human nature and man's tend
ency te revolve in n circle. He pre
sented the first guilty couple, new old
and gray, constantly bickering, un
happy because of their beautiful memo
ries nnd sordid present. Then he dis
closed the younger couple, the young
gentleman from Malay and the young
wife, nnd allowed them te get n full nnd
fair view of the wreck that the elder
pair had made of their lives. Then,
with -a final derisive bow te the audi
ence, .Mr. Aiaughain wnisKed the
younger folks off together, scornful of
convention and example, leaving the
elopers of thirty years age secretly
much pleased.
There Is no disrespect in putting Mr.
Mnugham's piny before Mrs. Leslie
Carter and Jehn Drew, who played the
elder couple. They would probably be
the first te admit the justice of it.
Rut the fact remains that any weaker
play would fade Inte Insignificance be
side their art. Drew had less te de,
but did that little with a mellow unci
delicate sense of the niceties ef1 the
character thnt has always endeared
him. Mrs. Carter had one unfergetablc
scene In the last net when she tried te
advise the. younger woman. It was u
flash of a great artiste. At till ether
times, with restricted chances, she still
made Lady Kitty always fascinating,
always lifelike, a Reeky Sharpc grown
old. painted, blenched and shrilly vi
vacious. , '
Around these pardon the word
elder folks, wheec characters seemed but
biographies of thrmsdves (except, of
course, that lnmentable elopement)
there was n phalanx of such geed act
ing ns is seldom crowded" In one play.
Perhaps Mr. Drew and Mrs. Carter
found comfort and pleasure In the
thought that In the dusk of their drn
mntlc days se premising n new gener
ation was already springing up te the
mnrk. Jehn Halllday, for example, ex

scenes with ability, and Rebert Rendel.
except for a monotony of voice (which
may have gene excellently with the
monotony of his character), was capital.
Se, morals quite aside, the nudlencc
which remained after the final curtain
and forced Mr. Drew1 te make a speech,
must have agreed that Mr. Maugham
had had his way1. Cynical (or truthful)
he may have been, but, above nil, he
was logical, terse nnd amusing. He

Talmadgc's latest picture, te make, It a
crying shame that the picture, at a
whole,., is, ee hepetesa.a piece of teifce-'
typed, machine-made screen gruei.
And what makes ltall the mere as-,
travatlng Is the splendid, acting con
tributed by. a cast 'wtifch. actually de-4
serves the title, "all-star." Add te
these points the fact that the camera
man generally covered himself with .dis
tinctien,, and the 'director, . Albert

touch of artistry te the film, 'and you
can readily' see that "Leve's Redemp
tion" 1b one of these many "ItV pic
tures that come te 'town se often.
The setting (or most of It) Is, Ja
maica, and the scenes ''were actually

occasional flashes of Cenrad In the in'

Hennessey," who is leaving tl.e island,
and .regrets, most of, all, the parting
with "Ginger," his pretty young
housekeeper, "child of a Spanish
motherland a dimly remembered English
nfViel. "
father.
"Ginger," with a continual desire te
be of use te some one. decides te try te
reform "Clifferd Standiah," the young
Englishman with n typical . beach
comber's beard and n perpetual ntme-
spnerc et gin. Hlic succeeds se -wen
that he turns ever a new leaf and1 mar
ries her. Up te that point the film is
far1y interesting, but when Standlsh's
family from England arrive with the
news thnt he has fallen heir te a for
tune, when he takes his bride home te
meet his folks, when they turn up their
haughty noses at "Ginger" and try te
convince her that it is her "place te. give
him up why, then It becomes merely
"ene of these things," treading n much
trampled path, Insincere, piffling. One
longs for at least one. of the characters
te de one. single thing different from
pattern.
It becomes mere and mere apparent
with every nlcturc hew really bine and
slncece nn actress Nerma Talmadgc is,
nnd hew wasted she is, tee, en, trifling,
hackneyed stories. She has overcome
the tendency of her earlier days te over
act occasionally, and is new, probably
the only actress en the "screen -about
whom you never feel the lenst worry as
te hew she will crirry a certain situa
tion. And she Is Becoming mere at
tractive every day.
Harrison Ferd is an outstanding
figure as the young Englishman. He
managed te make him a vivid, real sort
of person, even in the enrlier scenes,
which parallel a long succession of
"beach-comber" parts, back te Guy
Rates Pest and beyond. Montagu Love
is a great actor lest in an inconspicu
ous role. II. Cooper Cliffc is splendid
In another small role;, se is, Charles
Browne as a monecled "silly ass" type.
Stanten Ne SJntter what ether
shortcomings a plmirc may have, it is
something te Its credit te' produce such
a compelling nnd altogether human
charncter tudy as Mncyln Arbuckle
gives In "The Prodigal Judge." This
veteran of both stage and screen hns
never seemed se convincingly real as he
does In this part et the fine old South
ern gentleman who. deserted by his
wife, drifts from bad te worse, only, te
be redeemed finally by the finding of his
little son and the revenge upon the
man who wen the wife from him.
There arc ether outstanding studies
of unusual characters In 'the cast, tee.
Ernest Torrence'is little short of re
markable in his impersonation of the
slhlstcr but faithful Solemon Mnhaffy,
who sticks te the Judge as a leech In
prosperity but as a friend In adversity
and finnlly gives up. his life for his
friend for the sake of the little boy.
Rebert Millnsch Is also exceptionally
fine ns the gaunt nnd faithful "Uncle
Reb" who first ndepts the boy and
Geerge Rnncreft develops n new touch
in n uiimll hit ns Cavendish, the owner
nt n raft beat. The Vnughaii Kester
novel from which the film is made is tee
well known te make n relation of the
plot necessary.
Aside from this fine chnractcr work,
there Is little te recommend the film. It
overemphasizes the melodramatic points
of the story nnd allows it te fall short
of whet should novo been n notably
fine production. Jean Paige Is starred
but makes nothing outstanding of her
role, nor de Enrl Fex, us Rruce Car Car

erty of Riches." taken from Lcrey
Scott's story, "The Mether."
The film shows two families, one
rich and one peer, nnd parnllels the
details of their early innrrled life,
showing hew unhappy the first Is be
cause of the greed ,for wealth and po
sition, nnd hew hnppy the second, de
spite their lack of means.
The somewhat didactic charncter et
the story Is, for the most part, saved
by some excellent acting by acast that
is almost all-star. .Louise Levely,
Irene Rich and Lcatrlce .Tey form a
trio of lending ladles hard te beat. The
last named, especially, docs fine work.
Richard Dlx and Jehn Rowers nre the
two' husbands, nnd both realize their
fullest opportunities.
Victeria Charles Ray still is direct
ing his own films, and they still' show
It. "R. S. V. P.," his latest. Is an
uneven comedy, In which the young star
plays the role of an impecunious artist
who has trouble trying te procure eve
ning clothes.
Harry Mjers plays the pnrt of his
friend, nnd the two stage their society
debut en n fifty-fifty basis, each con
tributing half of the outfit. Seme very
funny and some ridiculously impossible
situations result. Rey Wagner wrote
the story nnd Jenn Calhoun makes her
debut as the star s lending lady.
Regent "Little Eva Ascends," in
which Gnrcth Hughes stars, is u case
of n really out-of-the-ordinary Idea,
possessing something of the whimsy of
a Rnrrle or a Gilbert, allowed te go te
seed in program film fashion. Geerge D.
linker, the director, was evidently net
se much nt fnult as was the adapters
from a magazine story, It tells of a
young chap whose mother heads ti
barnstorming company and starts him
plnving "Little Eva" In "Uncle Teiii'h
Cnbln" nt the age of ten. He is still
playing It at sixteen and fiercely resents
the fact. The pathetically humorous
efforts he makes te get away from his
job form the plot.
Capitel Anether of Katherine New
lin Hurt's stories of out of. doers is
found en the screen In "The Man Frem
Lest River." which lias all the virility
nnd meledrnmntlc intensity of "Snow
blind" and "The Branding Iren."
Heuse Peters Is well suited, te the
leading male role, ami his dignity and
reprcHslen of acting go it long way
toward making the film the sneecs Jt
is. Fritzl Brunette is the heroine nnd
Allen Ferrest has a role.

daughter, had stepped nt her marriage
te the fabulously wealthy .doctor nnd
left us with the natural assumption
W her lWeil haenlly ever nftcr
(which, of course, 1 only en assump
tion), it might hnve passed as n fairly
acceptable entertainment; But when it
took a fresh breath at' the altar and
Immediately plunged the characters Inte
the most unbellevnble of melodramas,
depleting the attempt of the jilted nd
venturess nt revenge, it became silly
and just plain balderdash.
Mabel Normand almost redeemed the
first part of the story. She Is ns naive
nnd charming an individual as she ever
was in the early days of the nickelodeon
nnd, strangest of all, she doesn't seem
te grew any elder. She is n very
mischievous nnd , alluring daughter In
"Melly. O" nnd an equally charming
and captivating society girl nftcr her
marriage. But even she could net re
deem the latter part, where the villain
traps her in a great dirigible nnd sails
aloft with her nnd her adoring nnd
wealthy husband pursues them in nnv
airplane and climbs down n ladder nnd
drops en the blimp nnd crawls into
the cabin just In the nick of time and
thrashes the villain ns the wireless set
short circuits In a way that no regular
wireless set ever did and scIb fire- te
the blimp and he and she find n con
venient parachute and drop te safely,
and n wet and bedraggled, but none the
less loving, fend cmbrncc for the final
close-up.
There nre some geed ehnracter bits
In the story. Geerge Nichols is his de
pendable self as Melly O's father, stern
nnd hnrd nnd n believer In making his
daughter stick te her class. Jack Mul
hall Isn't quite satisfactory in the
hcre'B part, but he does It fairly well,
and Jacqueline Legan makes u pretty
adventuress, though the scenario writer
nnd director make her pnrt ridiculous.
Lewell Sherman is the villain, but his
name is emitted from the program. He
is the same villain he was in "Way
Down East" and n dozen ether things.
Carl Stockdale docs an interesting bit
ns a philosophical silhouette-cutter,
and Eugenie Resserer shows her abil
ity in several short flashes as the dis
tracted mother of a supposedly dying
infant. ,
CASINO'S SHOW GOOD
Casine Vnrlcty nnd plenty of geed
comedy are the .keynotes of this week's
show. "Flashlights of VJ'2'2." In
capacity of funmakers there arc RIchy

Slater nnd Jack Mundy. The new
policy of n combination of pictures,

effect, and' the result is nn evening of
excellent entertainment. j
