Thorn hea A Reflex of Small Town Folk With a Bright Young Star Well Cast In "Boy of Mine," showing at the Karlton this week, Booth Tarkington, author of the picture, has demonstrated once more his understanding of the American boy, the "reg'lar fellow" and the home from which he comes. Though full of comedy, this picture is probably more serious in intention than any of the other screen successes of boys' life by the same author. Jtnd Ben Alexander, who plays the part of Bill Latimer, the boy, has proved in it that he is not only a "reg'lar guy," but an actor of ability.

In this film are shown the boy's sense of honor, his loyalty, his desire to serve, and his comradeship for an older "pal," who opens up to him a new world of interest. Bill's father, before his marriage, had been a bachelor owning half the small town in which he lived and hopelessly set in his ways. William Latimer, capably played by Henry B. Walthall, is suddenly jolted by romance who puts in his path Ruth Laurence, new soloist of the church, with whom he falls in love and marries. By the time that son Bill is old enough to slide down bannisters and catch flies during the minister's sermon, Latimer has returned to his former rigid ways.

lie suppresses all the natural boyishness in his son and brings matters to a crisis when he unjustly punishes him by sentencing Jiim to confinement in his room. Bill runs away at night and is rescued from a serious scrape by young Dr. Robert Mason, played by Rockliffe Fel-lowes. Bill's mother, Ruth Latimer, played by Irene Rich, rebels against the suppression of her boy by her husband and mother and son go to live in a cottage in a far part of the town, where the boy enters into a wonderful friendship with young "Dr. Bob." William Latimer, punished by the loss of all that is dear to him, after a time pleads with them to return.

It is put up to Bill to decide the issue and this he does in a vey dramatic way in which a boy's goodness of heart is handsomely portrayed. The entire production is excellently staged and exceptionally well acted. OTLEliNS FOX FILM FEATURE Full of Bright Rumo, Surrounding Program Is Filled With Entertainment Clean fun and lots of it, mingled with real romance, mark the production at the Fox Theatre this week of "Gentle Julia," from one of Booth Tarking-ton's stories written when in most whimsical vein. Gentle Julia, portrayed by Bessie Love, proves a most successful heart breaker in a small town. Two amusing children come and go at intervals, mixing with the most serious affairs of Julia.

In the small town all the youths worship at Julia's shrine, and there is one in Noble Dill, played by Harold Goodwin, who is deadly in earnest in his suit. Then there comes the typical stage city lover and Julia turns to him, arousing Dill to intense jealousy. Just as it looLa as if the "city chap" had it all his own way, Julia discovers that he has a wife, and all ends happily for the lovers of virtue. Outside of the main screen attraction there is a most pleasing programme. A novelty dance entitled the "Glow Worm," is presented by Thalia Zanou, and the screen comedy and Fox Theatre Magazine are unusually entertaining.

The musical features comprise Verdi's mcinan espers, rendered by the Urand Orchestra with Erno Rapee directing, two 'cello solos by Ennio Bolognini and hat is called "a jazz surprise," "March of the Spooks," presented by M. Baron. "Ponjola" at 69th Street Romance and villainy in the diamond field of South Africa are elements which figure in the interesting screen version of Cynthia Stockley's story of "Ponjola," which was shown at the 69th Street last night with James Kirkwood and Anna Q. Nils-son in leading roles. "No Loafing," a breezy comedy and an organ solo were among the other inviting offerings.

"The Stranger" in Two Houses John Galsworthy's novelette, "The First and the Last," adapted to the screen under the title of "Tht Strangers," was the principal offering last night in both the Strand and Colonial theatres. The story treats ff the processes of English criminal justice and has many telling situations in the action. The arrest and trial of an innocent man for murder is one of the incidents which arouses the audience to a high pitch of interest. Betty Compson, Richard Dix, Lewis Stone and Tully Marshall have the leading roles. "The Shepherd King' at Imperial The screen version of the stage story, "The Shepherd King," which has a romantic atmosphere -of the days of King Saul, was the feature at the Imperial last night.

Many of the scenes were shot in Egypt and the Holy Land and are rather spectacular. Violet Mersereau has one of the leading roles. "Pied Piper Malone" at Logan The Thomas Meighan production of Booth Tarkington's reflex of seaport life, with its romance and intrigue, entitled "Pied Piper Malone," was the feature at the Logan last night and was much enjoyed. Additional attractions included the Will Rogers satirical comedy, "Two Wagons Both Covered," which contained a great deal of amusing material. claims "SHADOWS OF SCORES AT STAMT0II Pola Negri in the Role of an Apache Queen Is Excellent Picture Depicts Upper and Lower Strata of French Capital Life "The Shadows of Paris," which opened at the Stanton yesterday, has both interest and variety.

Based on the French play, "Mon Homme," by Andre Picard and Francis Carco, it has a definite story to tell instead of the vague meanderings of the usual scenario. It is the story of the queen of the Apaches who marries the prefect of police, "but even her husband's love, her gorgeous gowns and her many jewels do not satisfy her when she thinks of the freedom and camaraderie of her Apache life. As the "Blackbird," the queen of the Apaches, and later as Madame Gramont, the leader of Parisian society and recognized as the best-dressed woman in Paris, Pola Negri has an excellent role and that she utilizes to the utmost. The European star has learned much about both make-up and repression since she arrived in Hollywood, and she is more attractive and a better actress than she was two years ago. Her work in "The Shadows of Paris" is splendid and full of the lights and shadows cas by her double part.

The picture, a Herbert Brenon production, has been excellently directed and the scenes are splendid. The cast is a prominent one, including Charles de Roche, Aldolphe Menjou and Gareth Hughes. Almost every motion picture goer has an active curiosity about Apache life and the romance and mystery which surrounds it. There are pictures of several Apache dens in the picture, all realistically done. The scenes of the war and the bombing of Paris, which are included in the picture, add to its effectiveness.

Charles de Roche plays the part of Fernand, the leader of the Apaches and the lover of "The Blackbird." His acting is good, as is that of Adolphe Menjou as the society crook. The picture is filled with dramatic episodes and with suspense which continues until the final scene. WILLS EMPLOYE RESIDUE Margaret L. McFillin Makes Gifts to Charity Institutions The sum of $300 of the $96,500 estate of Margaret L.

"When we established a separation of the church and state, we divorced education and religion. We should now go back to a closer union.

Elmira, N. Y. "THE EXT COHEN" SHU AT STANLEY It Is the Story of a Wife's Secret Kept From Her Husband Vera' Fokina and Her Ballet a Delightful Danving Number of the Bill Why the tedious picture at the Stanley this week should be named "The Next Corner" is probably a question that not even the writer of the scenario could answer. Possibly the censors might tell. It seems to be just another of those many titles which are drawn like the magician's rabbits from a high silk hat and are attached to any picture that happens to need a name.

But, in whatever fashion it was chosen, it certainly has no bearing, direct or indirect, on the picture. Its five-reel, winding does little else but raise a' question. What would happen to the motion-picture industry if a ban were placed against all scenarios based on a wife having a deep, dark secret from a husband? Invariably in suh pictures after the wife has spent five worried and tense reels brooding over the secret and just when it looks as if she is going to win out and carry her secret to the grave a blackmailer appears and the secret is out. If such a ban were in effect, "The Next Corner" would never have" seen the light of the silver sheet. Of course, it is to some extent somewhat different, in that the secret only lives for three reels.

It took the first two reels to create it. Dorothy Mackaill, who plays the leading role, has plenty of opportunity to wear her favorite troubled expression. Conway Tearle plays the part of the stiff, dignified husband, who loves his wife so much that he forgives her for having been on the verge of leaving him for a Spanish marquis. The part of the marquis' servant is well played by Lon Chaney. The feature the surrounding programme is the dance by Vera Fokina and her ballet.

The dance, "The She-makhanskaya Tzarita," was adapted by Michael Fokine from the music by Rimsky-Korsakoff. The dance is beautifully done and is very effective. Some local- pictures including a Mask and Wig rehearsal were shown. "White Tiger" at Victoria A crook play that has many amusing situations in it, Tiger," in which Priscilla Dean plays the role of the feminine member of the trio of international wrong-doers, was the feature at the Victoria last night. Wallace Beery and Raymond Griffith are the other members of the band.

There are many exciting moments in the unfolding of the. story which commands close attention, and Miss Dean gives another of her splendid characterizations. An added attraction was Larry Semon in his latest comedy, "Horseshoes," which was highly amusing throughout. "Discontented Husbands" at Capitol "Discontented Husbands," which was shown at the Capitol last night, has for its theme the incompatibility of men who have social ambitions and desire to parade as great persons in tue worm, out wnose wives are satisfied to enjoy the sancity of their own homes and find their greatest enjoyment in doing those things which hubby should be grateful for. It teaches a wholesome lesson and at the same time is replete with entertaining qualities.

James Kirkwood and Cleo Madison have conspicuous roles, in th husband and wife. an unusual color stereoscopic picture, proved a decidedly novel extra attraction. "Venus of South Seas" Regent Annette Kellerman, she of the mermaid antics and beauty of form, was the star in "Venus of the South Seas," which was the attraction at the Regent yesterday. The pretty aquatic marvel did some of her best stunts during the progress of the more or less logical story. And these were enhanced by the enchanting views of the tropical South Seas Islands and waters.

Will Roger's satire. "The Cake Eater," was an added attraction of much amusing quality. The Marriage Circle" at Palace The screen adaptation of the stage play, "Only a Dream," which bears the title of "The Marriage Circle," and which recently scored a success at another theatre, was the feature at the Palace last night. The daring adventures of a young married woman, bored with her own husband and bent on stealing the husband of her best friend, is the basis of the story and there are many complications which afford pleasant amusement and are largely taken from actual life. Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Florence Vidor, Adolphe Menjou and others are in the cast.

"Black Oxen" at the Benn Corinne Griffith and Conway Tearle are the leading players in "Black Oxen." the story of the rejuvenation of an elderly woman and her love affairs with a young man, which was the feature picture at the Bens last night. "Thundergate" at Great Northern The unique situation in which an American in China finds himself furnishes the basis of the story revealed in 'Thundergate," which was shown at the Great Northern last night. There are many dramatic moments and Owen Moore in the leading role is delightfully convincing. Some Oriental scenes add to the interest of the picture. "Rosita" at the Leader Mary Pickford in "Rosita," the romance of a pretty little Spanish street singer, and full of amusing as well as tragic events, was the attraction at the Leader last night.

The picture has hitherto been accorded much favorable comment. Screen Plays Still Popular "The Great White "Way," a picture which entertainingly reflects life along Broadway, introducing many famous personages, began its second and last week at the Arcadia yesterday. Anita Stewart, T. Boy Barnes. Oscar Shaw, Tom Lewis and other well-known players have splendid roles, while celebrities are shown with marked realism in a story that reflects life as it really is.

BERTHA KALIGH IN 11 -REVIVAL OF OLD PLAY Appears at Walnut St. Theatre in "The Kreutzer So nata Much Mater has passed under the tn-itlge ssinee the last time, now almost two Mme. Kalich appeared here hi "The Kreutzer Honata," in which she began a brief engagement at the AValuut Street Theatre last night. Fashions in plays have changed materially during those years, whether for the better or not is. perhaps, a moot question.

Certain it is, however, that this particular tragedy is still invested with that intangible something that thrills and enthralls. And this is not due to the long arm of chance in its The play deals with human emotions that are as real as life itself, and th? fashions in these do not change. That it is pitched in a minor key does not militate against it as an absorbing play, and absorbing it proved last night as presented by Mme. Kalich and her excellent support. The story is too well -Known now to necessitate going into that phase of Trie production.

What is of interest, however, is a discussion of the actress ii the stellar part and her surrounding east. In the first place, does Mme. Kalich visualize the role as she did eighteen years ago? es and-no. In The first act. due partly to an exaggeration of makeup, she scarcely satisfied as Miram.

the youn; girl. In the later scenes, however, she looked the part impressively. There is no question concerning her artistry, though, unless it be that in the first act she kept monotonously to a high pitch of voice. But her rich, deep contralto was employed effectively as the argument developed, at times a very diapason of sonorous intonation that made one tingle. Her emotional moments, for the most part rich in repression, were peculiarly effective.

In a word, she was. after that first act. entirely satisfying. She went through the play not only the personification, but almost the actual embodiment of woe that one could feel so intimately as almost to enter into it. In her support two figures stand out.

The first is Manna rt Kippen as Gregor. a fine actor who caught the exact impression of an ungrateful role. He was entirely desirable throughout, an excellent foil for Mme. Kalich and thoroughly capable when acting on his own initiative. The Celia of Clelia Benjamin was also an artistic contribution that is deserving of especial enconiums.

These two contributed to the main support a I'd in this connection mention should be made of Edwin Maxwell as Baron Friedlatder, Myra Brooke as Natasha. Jacob Katzman in the comedy role of Bandar and Graham Lucas as David proved to be well cast and the remainder of the company was entirely capable. The play is excellently staged. MEL0DY AND MIRTH rriTiinrn ru nn i rtHiuntu mi DILL In Addition to Vaudeville There Were Some Interesting Picture Offerings Another photoplay based on a popular song, proved a pleasing feature film at Fay's last night. It was called "April Showers" and is a story of Irish immigrant life of the lower East Side of New York.

It is a tale woven about the intimate family life of the Irish tenement settlement, of the police force and the fighting ring. To add interest the director lias also injected some cabaret scenes with a background of mermaids, pirates and a deep-sea diver, the latter being the entertainers in the cabaret There is a figfit scene that is chock full of realism and is said to have been arranged by McCoy, with Kenneth Harlan doing some heroic pugilistic stunts with Johnny Buff, a former light and flyweight champion, as his adversary. Fisht fans will appre ciate and enthuse over this, while the. average person will enjoy the romantic love story which is intertwined with the more sensational incidents. In addition to Kenneth Harlan and McCoy the cast included Ruth Clifford.

Colleen Moore, I'riscilla Bonner and Myrtle Vane. Another of those breezily humorous "Telephone Girl" series entitled "Sherlock's Home" proved a scream, while the usual films coLtained decidedly interesting material. A snappy and entertaining headline number of the vaudeville was the Royal Revue, which introduced the Desley Sisters, a pair of graceful and winsome dancers, who in addition to stepping quite nimbly wore costumes which enhanced the beauty of offering. They were cordially received. The Wheeler Trio, three acrobats who not only did clever feats but injected a lot of comedy into their work, scored well, and Mor-ley and in a comedy chatter, harmony singing and ukelele playing specialty disolayed considerable versatil-itv.

Fred Gray and Mabel Harvey in "lively sketch called "The Bell Boy in Egypt" provided merry moments during the fifteen minutes they were on the stage. Other acts included Sankus and Sylvers. a pair of eccentric dancers, and Bergman and McKenna. who are quite original entertainers. "Whirl of Girls" at Casino G.

Jermon's long association with burlesque is reflected in "Whirl of Girls," which he offered at the Casino yesterday, for it has many shapely and vivacious girls, comedians who can amuse and singers and dancers who display unusual accomplishments. Several iicn cities were introduced during the course of the show, one of the most delightful being a musical number called "Martha and Me," which introduced an old-fashioned scene which was out of the ordinary and scored immensely. It was a sort of modern "Darby and Joan" sketch. Then June Bobbie and her Jazz Br'bies sang and danced to the tunes winch have always been enjoyed by those who wish to step lively and arousing- "The "Babies" did the' stepping effect ivelv and they sang comparatively well The comedv element was headed by.

"Cheyenne Days," a flareback of the old Western days, deserves the top place on the bill, both from the humor, skill and scenic standards. "Bulldogging" of steers, fancy rope-spinning, a bit of broncho-busting and other effects combine to give this a pleasant remembrance. Next in line for honors is Marion Murray, assisted by Carroll Clucas and Del Sher-rard, in a sketch, "Likes and.

Dislikes." There is a slender thread of a plot and the old triangle situation amusingly presented. After hearing a bit of Miss Murray's playing one is apt to wonder why there is not more of a dash of music to the turn. It woum greatly enliven it. Ted Claire and Anton Lada's orchestra prove a treat. Claudia Coleman, depicting feminine types, scored the applause hit.

Her work is finished, although not altogether new, and brings a fresh breeze from the rather hackneyed impersonations one often comes to expect. Especially clever was the waitress bit. Lorraine and Ritz have a patter turn that scores. The Mutual Man proved interesting, Jack Henry amuses and the Royal Gascoignes, old favorites, again delight with their act. Joe Morris and Winn Shaw again detail their amusing travesty on the Mosquito Trust, although the song could well be omitted.

Prof. Martel at the organ and the orchestra, combined with several interesting reels of pictures, round out the bill. "The Evolution of the Dance." by Prof. Martel, is pleasing and quite out of the usual run. "Land of Tango" at Allegheny "Land of Tango," a sprightly dancing act in which a bevy of accomplished people display their artistry to the entire satisfaction of the audience, was the leading attraction at the Allegheny last night, The Apache, as executed by Albert deLima and Petit Ma rite was quite out of the ordinary.

Much of the fun of the act was contributed by William Adams, and some music and specialties also formed a part of the affair, which was well acclaimed. Bert Levy, the cartoon entertainer had the audience with him at all times, and his bright chatter and whistling as he sketched, proved highly enjoyable. Other acts included Murray and Alan, comedians of the conversational type; Heras and Wills, who are billed as "Backyard Entertainers," and do justice to the appellation; Kirby and Klaiss in songs, dances and comedy stunts. The photoplay offering was "The Courtship of Myles Standish," with Charles Itay in the titular role. The Bill at the Grand The vaudeville bill at the Grand Opera House last night was featured by Schlichtl's "Wonderettes," a number of little figures so expertly manipulated as to appear almost human.

The Elm City Four, in some old and a few new songs; Carlisle and Lamal, in a comedy skit called "fhe Billy Duncan and Grace O'Mal-ley, in snappy songs and patter, and Ritter and Knappe, who are billed as ra "ersatile JJuo. were among the other diverting offerings. The photoplay attraction was "The Scarlet Lily," in which Katherine MacDonald is he star. "Plastigrams," a stereoptical illusion, was added and scored immensely, largely because of its novelty. Lingerie Playlet at Broadway At the head of the vaudeville bill at the Broadway last night was "Oh Teddy," a playlet in which lingerie and comedy were the outstanding elements.

Billy House, an unctuous comedian, headed the efficient cast and applause was frequent. Other acts included Crawford and Broderick, in "A Smile or Two," which was a lot of humorous chatter; Morak Sisters, a trio of Belgian girls who display unusual skill in performing feats in the air. being suspended by the teeth; Ardelle Cleaves, singing violinist, and the motion picture. "Maytime," adapted from the musical play of the same name, with Harrison Ford and Ethel Shannon in leading roles. Plays Previously Reviewed Joseph Schildkraut in "The Highwayman." a delightful comedy in which the titular part of a man who steals women's hearts amusingly, began the final week of the engagement at the Adelphi last night.

It is amusing, well acted and satisfying entertainment. "Sally, Irene and Mary" are still exceedingly popular at the Lyric, where the audiences are not only large, but intensely enthusiastic. Eddie Dowling and his large company of capable players have established themselves as prime favorites and will probably remain here until the close of the season. The Chauve-Souris began the second and final week of the engagement at the Shubert last night. The unique entertainment has made a strong appeal to those who seek diversion of an ultra-novel quality, and Balieff and his colleagues are scoring decisively.

The bill was unchanged from last week. ITALY HONORS ARTIST Prof. Pasquale Farina, Old Master Restorer, to Get Cross Professor Pasquale Farina, of South Fifty-first street, famous for his restoration of works of the old masters, is to have the Cross of the Cheve-lier of the Crown of Italy conferred on him, it Mas announced yesterday by Chevalier Luigi Sillitti, Italian Consul. Professor Farina had charge of the John G. Johnson art collection fourteen years.

Addison L. Clark, of Gilboa, a younger farmer, today pleaded guilty to misusing the mails for fraudulent purposes. He told Federal Judge Cooper that he patronized big brokerage houses in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, buying stock with checks on bauks in Galveston, Texas; San Francisco and other distant points. With the stock purchased he would order it sold, he said, and then receive a check from the firm in payment before it was discovered that the checks he had given were worthless.

F.

Keith's Theatre yesterday afternoon and immediately swept the audience off its feet. She f-ang a number of special songs by Billy Traccy and Daniel Dougherty in her peculiar manner, humorous selections with a point like that at the end of a good joke, adding emphasis by way of her continual forceful gestures and kept the audience in excellent fettle the whole time- she was out there. She was well accompanied by Mildred Band, a demure little miss. Miss Samuels was the accredited headliner in a bill that contained a number of good acts and some that were rather drab, Among the more enjoyable was that of Enrico Rastilli, who well deserved the title of "master juggler." He almost exhausted the possibilities of balancing acts with rubber alls, and concluded his performance with a combination stunt in which he did four things at one time, using his hands, feet and mouth. His act is exceptionally clean cut and impressive.

King and Beatty. Jack and George, respectively, brought in a breath, of fresh atmosphere in "artistic applesauce." Their songs were short and snappy and an imitation Beatty gave of a sailor rolling a cigarette was a gem of itself. Their act is a good one and the audience was loath to leave them go. Pearl Regay with Lester Sheehan and Lew Pollack at the piano put on an ambitious number, composed of singing and dancing, some of which was enjoyable, and, the -house appeared to relish it. Mr.

Pollock, unprovoked by the audience, announced that because of the time limit he could play only a few of his songs. Tere was no riot. He played a few and they seemed to be recognized: Elliott and Babe La Tour put on some foolish comedy-that went quite well, and Barrett and Farnum furnished good dancing and dull pater. Two excellent numbers were the Three Falcons, acrobats, and Mulroy, McNeece and Ridge, in a roller skating exhibition. The film features were timely and interesting.

SEEN AT THE GLOBE Wide Variety of Vaudeville Acts Enjoyed by Large Audiences There was a wide variety of vaudeville on view at Jhe Globe last night, and the audience was generous in its appreciation. Among leading offerings was "A Cabaret Cocktail," in which Will Stanton and Company, the latter including Nat Martin's Jazz Orchestra, appeared. It was a bright combination of songs, music, dancing and some comedy moments. Another popu lar number was that of Billy' Dale and Company in a breezy musical farce called "The Merry Widower," which had a plot as well as some original musical numbers and was chock full of entertaining qualities. A group of exceptionally good voiced singers in the garb of gypsies contributed a carnival of song and dance from Romany Land.

Their singing was especially good and won unstinted approbation. Comedy patter was the keynote of the act given by Dan Creedon and Viola Davis, in which nonsense was the principal ingredient; Williams and Taylor, a pair of eccentric dancers, displayed their versatility in the variety of steps they introduced and Count Perrone (said to be a genuine Italian nobleman), with a good baritone, and Trix Oliver, a mezzo soprano, rendered a choice collection of songs effectively; Manning and Stone, irr a comedy skit that was amusing if not pretentious; the Great Johnson, a contortionist who peVforms largely in mid-air and does hazardous things, and Officer Hyman, with new songs and stories, were others who entertained.
