an Inanimate object. For the first
time, perhaps. In the history of
film-plays,' an Inanimate object
plays an Important role In the
theme of a story.
"Up the Ladder," adopted from j
the stage hit by Owen Davis, is a j
story which revolves around a self !

The name 'Richard -Talmadire

This latest produclon starring

comes to the Rex Thursday only
is a erackerjack action melodrama
with more than a little comedy.
Laughs and thrills follow each
other so closely through this

Patrons of the Heilig theatre
will be given a rare'trect next
Thursday and will Incidentally
have their knowledge of psychol
ogy considerably enhanced after
seeing the demonstration given by
J. Joseph Clifford who headlines
the next Association vaudeville bill.
Clifford's form of entertainment
is a scientific sensation whorever
shown. Ho has broken away from
the old time traditional perform
ance as offered by former psy
chologists and has struck out on
original lines which he challenges
any other performer to duplicate
cither In quality or entertaining
value. He is mystirying, sensa
tional and humorous In the extreme.
The outstanding laugh hit on
nny bill In which they have ap
peared iB the team of Max Burk
hart nnd Don Rich In their comedy
skit "Have a Sample." Constant
interruptions on the part of one
performer while the other is en
deavoring to sing or spenk Is not a
new form of comedy but with
Uurkhart and Rich it has been
given cn entirely new and un
expected twist. They have a great
fund or comedy Kongs ami tarn
that nlwavs produces the desired
resuu inugns.

than depending upon - nn

The stoiy In figures Is told in the
report of a survey recently under
taken showing that there are more
than a thousand community play
houses nnd little theatre groups tu
this country, more than half of
vhlch are comparatively uctive.
Of 410 American colleges and
universities responding to a ques
tionnaire sent by President Uaker,
according to tho reiort, 65 per
cent replied that they give courses
In dramatic art for which colluge
credit is given. Of this group, 1AU
maintain organized departments
in either d r a m a or s pee c h . A
further Indication of the Interest
in drama among the colleges Is re
flected In the report that 33V. or
nearly 83 per cent of the Institu
tions replied that they have student
organizations which produce seri
ous plays..
Conference Takes up Problem
To Just what extent Mr. Urady's
cen tent ion Is true the folks on
"Main street" long for the drama
Is to be one of the important pur
poses of tho theatre conferenco
this month. "It Is universally
agreed,'' tho announcement of the
conference somewhat academic
ally points out. "that there ne re
generative forces at work In the
American theatre. Theao are cen
tered In tho little nnd eommun, fed
ity theatres and the dramatic nc-,
tivitlcs of the universities and col-j
leges. The purpose of the confer-j
ence Is to review the situation, to
obtnln a Just estimate of what"
has so far been accomplished, and;
finally, to endeavor to give cohi
sion to the movement.'? j
Consistent with their viewpoint'
thnt there are two closely rehitml ,
movements, the one among the j
community and tho little theatres,;
nnd the other among the colleges; !
the Carnegie officials havtj
planned tho conference prograiH ;
to include one session of ,a generrf-'
nature, one to consider dramatie 1 1
trninlng In colleges and univerni- ;
ties, nnd a third to study the little t
theatres and community play-
houses.
