Vamps and burglars, thieves and detectives, blackmailers and confidence men crowd into the night life depicted in the three stories of New York's hidden drama, and in the end Tight and justice triumph and sin meets a dark and tragic end. The New York you always heard about before you came here, the New York that every visitor from Glendale and Williamsburg yearns to catch a Rlimpse of a safe glimpse, be it understood is the city of the three playlets. It isn't the New York of our peaceful flat, and the subways, and the office, which is all the New York we have time to know, but it's an interesting New York on the screen.

After she'd worn her frightened little self to death "putting up a front" to impress her fiance's people the Main-warings of Shotley Beauchamp (pronounced Beecham, if you and after the poor darling's pitiful subterfuges had been exposed the fond fiance refused to be sent packing anyway. What if Mother Welwyn did drop her aitches so noisily that they clat tered? What if the lamily did keep lodgers and pressed a xnit-tened bailiff into service as butler when his (Mainwaring's) grand family came to tea? Love, said Blaster Dicky, was the thing, and nothing else mattered very much! So that was that, and we suppose after the third act curtain fell they lived happily ever afterward.

This story is told with excellent humor by an all-English company up at the Booth Theatre, where Major Ian Hayss "Happy Go Lucky" has the stage. We hope it will continue" to have it for many a day to come. Mr. O. P.

Heggie, looking like a cartoon out of "Punch," with brick-red fringe about his benevolent poll, large eyes blinking innocently and Lhckensian muffler straddling hi3 throat, is a source of sheer joy in his role. Barry Baxter plays young Dicky Mainwaring with a pleasing lightness and assurance and Muriel Martin Harvey is a piucKy little heroine. Throughout it all, though you know in your heart that the haughty mistress of the Towers is as broad an exaggeration as any caricature and that the farcical bits are laid on with a trowel, so to speak, the illusion is perfect. Life is real and earnest and it is immeasurably important that the course of young love be a smooth one. For delicious comedy, beautifully and deftly handled, we recommend "Happy Go Lucky."

ESTELLE TAYLOR'S dark beauty shines in widely different parts in "While New York Sleeps," but she's quite as attractive as a loving wife as she is as a seductive vamp.

three nictures first as a happy wife whose wretched past is buried forever, she thinks. Then out of the night comes a strange visitor and the scene is laid for tragedy. I don't like vamps obvious, unskilled vamps who wear a wicked curl in the middle of their foreheadso I like "The Gay White Way" very little. The story is an old one, too. The East Side provides a theme for a real story, and in the devotion of an aged paralytic to his son, the boy's murder and the atonement therefor there's a tale worth the telling.

I sat on the edge of the chair and held my breath during a good part of "While New York Sleeps," and I can promise unless you're utterly blase in the matter of thrills that youH do the Bame except in the vamp act. However, maybe you adore a dyed-in-the-wool vampl ICUTBACKSANDCLOSEUPS Tom Mix is working on a film called "Prairie Flowers." We always wait wistfully for your pictures, Tom. Mildred Harris Chaplin leaves New York Friday night for Toronto, Canada, where she will.be the guest of honor at the opening of the new Pantages Theatre in that city- August 28.

I hear they're resurrecting that "piece" we learned to recite in our kid days, "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse." The principal roles in "Bride 13," a William Fox serial, in the making of which a flotilla of United States Navy warships from the Atlantic fleet played a part, are enacted by Marguerite Clayton, Jack O'Brien, Greta Hartman and Edward Eose-man. Percy Marmont can be discovered almost any day this week in the beautifully wooded sections of Pros- ect Park, where some of the Eng. lsh scenes of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" are being filmed. Hope Hampton is a busy lady trying to live up to her title in "The Tiger Lady.
