Vivian Martin In
Clever Story
Charming Vivian Martin, the Mo-rosco-Paramount
star who recently
cored such a success in "The Spirit
of Romance," and "The Girl at Home,"
will be seen at the Arcade today and
tomorrow in Edith Kennedy's adapta
tion of Lois Zellnor's clever story,
"Giving Becky a Chance."
In "Giving Becky a Chance," Vivian
Martin has an opportunity to run her
entire scale of dramatic emotions
from the lightest light comedy to
heavy, gripping tragedy.
The story is that of a young girl,
the daughter of the general store
keeper in a small country town. So
that their daughter may enjoy the
best advantages, her parents send
Becky to a boarding school. There,
thrown in with a number of wealthy
girls. Becky thoughtlessly poses as a
wealthy hoiress. How, through her
mother's illness, her deception is
found out by the man she loves and
how, as a clever cabaret dancer, she
finally saves, her father from bank
ruptcy, and wins back hor sweetheart,
is brought about in a most charming
and delightful manner. '
That Miss Martin is an accomplished
and graceful dancer, was unknown to
her many friends until the production
of this picture. The director had pre
pared to make these scenes mere in
cidents, but when Miss Martin as
tonished them all with her grace, he
promptly made them an Important
feature.
The cast supporting Vivian Martin
is' one of unusual excellence and in
cludes such prominent players as Jack
Holt, Alice Knowlan, P. II. Sosso, and
Jack Richardson.
The production was made in the
usual Morosco-Paramount thoughtful
and beautiful manner.

There will be specialists on everything. Major J. E.
Goldthwait, for instance, the wizard of bones and joints.
I he Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn., are Majors under
Gorgas, too.
Regarding mental disorders among the men, which he
characterized as "very common in this way," General
Gorgas said:
"We will take special care of these.
Pr. Pearce Bailoy is working on that
in our department with the rank of
major.
"Mental troubles are among tho
most common to be dealt with in mod

duties as soldiers."
; General Gorgas' plans call for the

American physicians and surgeons
within the next 12 months.
