Monday and Tuesday. It is a film

well done.
On Wednesday the Heilig will again
offer Western vaudeville, with "The

the headliner. It is a scries of Chin

Modern Way Defended In "The House
of Youth"
When Is a flapper not a flapper?
This Is not one of the trick ques
tions so popular In the humorous
magazines, but a serious inquiry re
garding present day young woman
hood. And, as such, it is one of the
major questions presented and ans
wered by "The House of Youth,"
which comes to the Hex Wednesday
and Thursday, whero everyone inter
ested in the modern young woman
will find a now interest in the flapper
question.
It shows that the flapper is' not a
woman apart, but that she is for the
time being a woman passing through
a peculiar stage of her life the stage
in which she craves excitement be
yond her power to sustain.

PLENTY OF ACTION IN THIS
Four Furious Fights Feature new
"Western Luok"
Four sizzling good fights In one
picture are a feature of "Western
Luck," Charles Jones' newest William
Fox production, at the Bctl theater
at Springfield, playing Sunday. If
this isn't enough to satisfy his thou
sands of followers, particularly
among the great army of small boys
of the world who adore tho star,
Jones says he will mako it five next
time. h
"Western Luck" concerns the ad
ventures of a young westerner whose
troubles begin on the day of his
birth. To free his foster .father
from a crooked deal and at the same
time rid his sweetheart of a villon
ous suitor, Jones has his hands full
every minute, He divides his fight
ing prowess between a band of crooks
near his home out in the West and
a gang of hired thugs in Now York.
Ha has two "peachy" fights with the
villain and two with gangs.
Notwithstanding the seemingly san
guine nature of this picture, it really
is a splendid, clean production and
will help to increase Jones' fans by
the thousands. George Beranger di

TOUK, April IS. "Ladies'
Day," that time-hallowed institu
tion of the ball games and county
fairs, apparently has come to stay in
the American theater. "Women au
thors by the dozen are visible every
where, and their number increases.
"Women write approximately 25
per cent of the 8000 plays annually
copyrighted in Washington," says
Frank Egan, producer. "They write
more than 100 of the 400 plays which
are actually produced every year. And
their percentage of successes is high
er than among men.
"In the acting profession, of course,
women have been attractions for cen
turies. Now and then in the past one
has succeeded as manager or play
wright. From 25 to CO years ago,
two or three plays a ' season by a
woman author was a good showing
for them. As far back as 1850 Laura
Keene's 'Varieties' was a successful
New York theater. MrB. Jane Eng
lish rnn a theater here for the sum
mer of 18tl3, and Mrs. John Wood
operated the 'Olympic' for several
seasons about the same time."
This season, as in all tho recent
seasons, woman is no such timid vio

stance. Edith Ellis, author of "White
Collars," directed that play in Cali
fornia and brought it hero, also di
recting the present production of
"Starlight" Mrs. Henry B. Harris
has produced near half a dozen plays
this season. Elsie Janis took a major
part in writing and directing her
show. The Duncan Maters wrote
"Topsy and Eva" and now have
bought a proprietary interest in the
show. And Anne Nichols still has
her "Abie."
Women authors make up a still

During the first three nights of
their ride across the desert Ruth

Two American folk dramas opened
within a few dnys of each other at
opposite ends of town. "Ruint," by
Hatcher Hughes, author of "Hell
Bent fer Heaven.' and "The Dunce
Boy," by Lulu Vollmer, author of
"Sun Up and "The hhotue Woman.
Neither of the new ones is so good
as former works of its creator.
"Ruint" hows the Carolina moun

artificial city visitor. The visitor
kisses a proud mountain Inns and her
folk suspect the worst They chose
him off, with threats "of tar and
feathers. The neighboring young men
meanwhile troop in like bees to marry1
the hitherto unapproachable girl.
Caroline Newcomo as Mrs. Akins is
notably fine.
"The Dunce Boy" is the story of a
harmless half-wit who loves blindly
and dies sadly In a sawmill. Gareth
Hughes plays the boy with something
of the whimsicality of Sentimental
Tommy. There is abundance of lurid
material, but a lack of related under
standing and convincing motive.
Down in Grand street on the East
Side goes on some of the most in
teresting adventuring in theatricals.
It Is done by tho organization known
as the Neighborhood Playhouse. Just
now they are doing "dance dramas,"
tracing tho steps of the dance down
through the centuries and bringing it
to modern New York with burlesque
and satire in refreshing doses. The
"Mediaeval Interlude" is called "The
Legend of the I anre" and "Sooner
or Later" brings it up to date. The
New York number introduces a tra
vesty on the Follies which is as
amusing as anything in town.

a driving storm, Ghent makes a des
perate effort to reach the village and
the doctor. When the doctor's horse
fulls from under him, Stephen nobly
gives the doctor his mount, leaving
himself in dire peril. The play brings
out all that is noble and good in
Ghent, and the two become recon
ciled. George O'Brien Coming
George O'Brien, the new star,
whose unforgettable work in "The
Man Who Came Back." endeared him
to the motion picture fans of the
world, is again coming to the Ux
in a featured role in "The Painted

what in eclipse. But when Syd is

When it was cabled from England
a year or so ago that Al. Christie
had secured the rights to "Charley's
Aunt," Charlie Chaplin, despite the
fact that his brother Syd was actively
engaged as his manager, cabled Mr.
Christie that there was no man in
tho pictures capable of impersonating
the Aunt, other than his brother. Of
course, both Charlie and his brother
Syd were intimately acquainted with
the acting of the great W. S, Pentey
in the title rolo of this farce, and so
it wos that Charlie, knowing his
brother's capabilities nnd tho require
ments of tho role, was deeply desirous
that he should Impersonate the char

knowledge of the farce, accepted the
idea, and Immediately communicated
