f "Body and Soul" At Elsinore
I Today and Shows Many
J Thrilling Scenes
t Generations ago there came to
the American stage a family which.
probably, boasts the mos-t emin-
? ent histrionic figures which have
entertained millions over tne
i world.
They were and are the Bar
rymores. Friday and Satnrday only, ac
cording to an announcement o.f the
Elsinore management, a Barry
tnore photoplay will be shewn at
the Elsinore.
Very likely, for some persona,
the preface to this news story is
necessary. Because the picture has
been called, "Body and Soul."
The Elsinore manageemnt is
frank to Bay it believes the pic
tures has a title not at all In keep )
lng with the fineness the man
agement trusts the word is used
advisedly of the Elsinore. But
the scenario is from the book, read
by millions, "The Branding Iron,"
and it features but four stars
Lionel Barrymore. Norman Kerry,
Ailen Pringle.and Hoy Barnes.
Any one of the very few char
acters may have his name in elec
tric lights if he chooses.
History shows no place where a
Barrymore knowingly has pros
tituted his art. He doesn't find It
necessary.
The story of the film is laid
against a background of the Swiss
Alps. It is true that the plot is
highly dramatic, but experienced
show men declare that that type of
acting requires far greater skill
than does any other.
Patrons and this ia reiteration
are asked to remember that the
Barrymore picture may be witness
ed only Friday and Saturday.

this line.
Brownie and Van will show in
"Professional Nonsense." Non

Marvelous music and an aud

The atmosphere of the Negro

Ovork group, the quartet for

music that the London String

a the past two days. It will mean
many thousand smashupe in the
month. On Wednesday a car and
small truck collided on the corner
of Court and Commercial streets
An accident occurred on the same
spot yesterday in which four cars
were involved.
The collision came about when
Leo Relman, who was driving his
truck south on Commercial street,
happened to look in another direc
tion, when suddenly he noticed
that he was about to collide with
the machine driven by Otto Hea
drlck, who was coming in from
Court street. In order to avoid
the Headrick car, Relman nosed
his truck toward the curb, hitting
two other cars, parked there.
One of the parked machines was
booted up on the sidewalk, al
though neither car was damaged
badly. It caused many people to
gather around, jamming up the
street for a time.
So figure it out, double the
number of accidents on Court and
Liberty streets every day and then
you will have some Idea as to the
number of collisions here in
month.

TRUE Til LIFE PLAY
COLLE
'The- Show-Off" Violates
Precedent But Wins Ap
plause of Audience
Bv Ralph Curtis
One touch of nature makes the
whole world sit up and take no;
tice. That might have been one
of Aubrey Piper's wise cracks in
"The Show-off" but It was not;
it la merely ft possible explanation
of why a play that purposeiy J i
lates so many of the accepted
standards of the drama, holds and
pleases Its audience so inorousu
ly as "The Show-off" did last
night at the Capitol theater,
where it was presented by the
National Collegiate Players jof
O.A.C.
The play, by George Kelley. Is
full of irrelevant details, and it
creates a situation and then falls
to solve it, two things that would
condemn It in the eyes of most
critics; hut the details are so hu
man and natural, and moreover
they are so well carried out by
this troupe of amateur players.
. , V.
that the audience follows their
aimless course with every sense
alert. Ai for the situation, the
point apparent is that it cannot
be solved.
Mother Fisher, the role played
by Evelyn Jacobs, is the center of
attention at all times, ana u ims
one character were less capably
handled, the play would crash In
stantly. Miss Jacohs performs a
remarkable piece of character act
In, despite the fact that she has
usually played ingenue parts. Ken
Lowell as her husband carries his
end of the domestic picture with
equal ability.
Pauline Frauel was perfectly
cast as the typical modern girl
blinded by admiration of her tin
sel hero: and that worthy was
well portrayed by Henry Fltzpat
rick. Elynore Case carried some
difficult emotional moments in
her role as the slster-ln-law. and
Warren Rolph found a few subtle
bits as her husband. John Janes
was for the most part excellent
as the youthful inventor, though
he may have misinterpreted the
character toward the end
There were two parts so minor
that they would scarcely deserve
mention, yet so remarkably well
done that they cannot be over
looked: those of Hugh Wiley a
Gill, the laborer, and of Walter
Wleman as the insurance agent
"The Show-off" was greeted by
fair sized audience here, and
one which proved highly appro
dative.
