The Ten Best Plays Candida la Zat So? Mr. Tartridge Presents Old Enzlish The Firebrand The Guardsman The Show Off They Knew What They Wanted What Price Glory White Cargo it (By the KEA Piny Jury) YEW Y0HK, Feb. HI. Theatrical I ' kadrnnma liar it ltnon rrndnnltv becoming so bad that even the ac tresses who inhabit them are calling for a vacuum cleaner. It started with the once nice Mr. Belasco turning to "Ladies of tbe Krening" and introducing tbe vuljrnr bick room of what once was fraukly rtferrcd to as a "woman of the nightlife." And now it is "A Good Bad AVom n'' with that very talented and HrharrainR young emotional actress, Helen MacKellnr. It beats the He lasco opus by nt least three dirty quilts. In this play it is difficult to deter mine whether Miss MacKellnr" has bo more sinned aguinst by the raann-cment or by the various men of the play. As this is written the actress has decided against the man "cmcnt and talks of bringing action CiiDst Al Woods and Win. Krady, ibe producers. The play cornea out of Milwaukee ind certainly shows how greatly the quality of the beer must have deter iorated since prohibition. Surely no one would have written such a drama after three seidels of Pubst. The language is frank beyond the dreams of censorship; a folding bed unfolds at least once an act and there is such a 'shanty" scene between a drunken father and daughter as never was witnessed upon this continent. It's the best thing in the show, as well as the worst. In case it might not be guessed, "The Dark Angel," refers to blind ness. This latest Robert Milton pro duction at the Longacro theatre has to do with a soldier whose sweet heart presented her virtue to him as a farewell gift before he went to war. He is reported dead, as usual. Sir years later she is seen drinking after wnr gin in a mab jongg "set" of young smart crackers. fche has de cided she never can marry, though there is one who loves her. And. of course. Hillary, the hero, isn't dcud at all, but be bus blinded. .She is ready to make the sacrifice, and marry bim, but the blind man sees into the future with eyes of wisdom and will not lot her. There is a gripping third act situation that helps mightily in injecting dramatic values into a rather talky play. Patricia Collinge is a charming heroine nnd Reginald Mason gives a sensitive per formance of the blind man. Our old friend, the Apache, is back! His Paris lair is unchanged. He is, as ever, a dirk-plunging thief of whom all women are enamored. This time he is called "The Hat" nnd be is acted nt the Colonial theater by Horace Brabham. Teddy Girard, late of London where the play has been going for seven months, is a diamond studded dame who tries to get the "rat" away from his haunts while the gals try to keep him as is. There is much melodrama early in the play and little thereafter. Sherwood Anderson has dramatized his "Triumph of the Kgg" into a curtaiu raiser of the Provincetown theater where 'Eugene CXeill's "Diffrent" is revived. Tbe Ander son story becomes keen comedy upon the stngc, tinged with the irony and near-tragedy surrounding the unfor tunate owner of the small-town hash counter who tried to be his own cabaret. "Episode," with AVm. Court leigh and Kathleen Macdonell, at the Bijou, is an excellent social primer for all those who wish to know how civilized people behave when the "eternal tri angle" bobs up. When the best friend proves to be tbe worst deceiver, wbnt is there to be done? The wife is not really sorry she was untrue, nor is tbe "other man." AVherens tbe husband does no shooting and the show ends up amusingly with the dis cussion of whether or not they will all go lu a polo match. Ku Klux clothes appear again in a play as yet unnamed. It is given n' matinee performance by Hiehard Herndon. The audience is asked to believe that the hero breaks up the klan by proving that certain inemberB arc about to lynch the wrong man. This is as reasonable as suggesting that a doctor quit practice because he guessed tbe wrong symptom. There are moments of melodrama and in th'i anti-klan belts it may get over. Hetty Hnuison'n nt'it picture to sue-J eeeu "Peter 1 an. The pin urn will be "Are Parents Peuple'f" and .Miss Agiiew is adapt-! ing it from novel form for ibe per-' Mumlity of Miss llroimon.

We're the l.neky Uirls!" Ilnrd work, talent and ambition- That's a recipe; Maybe you will remember Will Ito&ers in "One (ilorious I 'ay," sa ririrnl movie full of trick photography nnd subtle humor. It was directed by James Crime, who also made "The Covered Wason" and married Petty Cnmpson. Mr. Crime now is produc ing the first truly big satirical movie ever made in this country, a spec taculsr screen treatment of "Beggars on ! lorsebaek." the Broadway ttage success by Mare Connelly and George S. Kaufman. This picture is said by those at the Paramount studio In be a "crar.y piilt" of cinematic carttoon ini a new note in picture-making along the lines of novelty. Edward Everett Horton is playing the leading role, that of a drentny poet who is bewildered and disillusioned by the commercialism of tbe age. Said com mercialism is represented in grotes que symbolism and characterizations In the realm of broad farce. Norman Kerry's first starring ve hicle will not be "The Prince" after all. Universal and Charles Hrnbin, the director, have decided to postpone making this picture and now nre reading a number of stories to find a suitable substitute. Many scenario writers now find the road to fame and fortune via direct ing. Howard Higgin, Paramount au thor, now working behind the camera, following in tbe footsteps of Paul Sloane and Paul Hern, the former producing in New York, the latter here making . "The Dressmaker of Paris," .with Lcairiee .Toy featured Alf Goulding, Metro-Goldwyu writer, has just had his first directorial ef fort, "Excuso Me," released and Ed mund (folding, his brother, has nlso been signed by this company to di rect. ''The Wanderer," tbe spectacular stage play in which Florence Heed was a vivid figure, is to go into pro duction at tbe Paramount studio ear ly in March. Haoul Walsh will direct. Now that Syd Chaplin has made "Charlie's Aunt," he is besieged by offers to appear as "Charlie's Brother." Now don't get peeved! That isut foolin.' Youths Wounded In Police Chase PAN FRANCISCO, Feb. LM. Three youths in an automobile which police snid was stolen, were chased through downtown streets Thursday night and stopped only by a bail of bullets, which wounded two of their number. I he stolen machine was wrecked against a street lamp. At tbe ccntrnl emergency hospiUl they gave their names as J a me O'Neil, IS, EUlred Brady, 10, and Darill Cullcn, ill.

Some directors believe with Ie Forrest that the talking movie can be perfected to a decree that will (make it acceptable ns entertainment j by the public, but it is admitted that in the tnlking movie the, technical nd vsnlnges of the film over Ihe stage I would be lost. The clnseup, which is i an unobtrusive placing of an opera glass to the spectators eyes, and the very long shots as well as other es sentially cinemntic maneuvers, would be eliminated. The film players would have to reconcile the tempo of tbe singe with that of the screen and th entire form and structure of the photoplay would be necesnsrily al teredand not for tbe betterment of visual entertainment.
