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.

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.'

of the film play is exclusively visual
and they therefore uphold the pos
sibilities of Ihe color film.
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

th entire form and structure of the
photoplay would be necesnsrily al
teredand not for tbe betterment of
visual entertainment.

This compact and well-arranged colonial type house has proved Ideal for many small and aver-1
age-sized families. With slloht structural modifications, a large-sized room may be made available In j
the upper story. Making the rear portion of the house the same width as the front would help to
solve the problem of closet space and enlarge the downstairs bedrooms without seriously disturbing

The ground floor plan shows six rooms of ample size connecting with a central hallway. The'
three bedrooms are of ample size, and the two corner ones are favored with cross-ventilation. With'
the addition of an upstairs room, the front bedroom one the main floor could be used as a sewing
and work-room. j

way. The kitchen la large and well arranged, with plenty of cupboard and window space. Ground
floor area of the plan la 1230 square feet.

Your finish lumber has cost you a lot of money and you have
hired a nood caroenter to put it up.
Now don't buy the cheapest paint and varlsh In the catalog
and get a transient bum to put It on at three dollars a day.
Buy good materials and have It finished right. A good
