Marcua Cog-catcher Georga Halman By BOYLE. Every small boy in the country will want to see Babe Ruth in pictures, and since seeing IIeadin Home" I don't think the great batter will lose any of his prestige through his appearance in films. As a plain sVnnll-town boy with an itch for a bat. Babe Ruth is perfectly at home in his role. He's awkward and tender, luckless and and through it all is the creat likable chum of a very email, pig-tailed girl.

At home they don't think much of Bube 33 a ball player so little, in fact, that they kick him off the heme-town team, and then Babe pets a job with another burgr's nine and makes the first of his famous runs right under the eye of his best Rirl. She imagines she's in love with the pitcher of the opposing team, but that's where she's wrong. Ruth Taylor is the very prett daughter of old Si, who is crazy about baseball, and the passes her smiles around so liberally that poor Babe is in the dumps much of the time. There are a few awkward jumps in the story that ouyht not to be. For instance, the startling suddenness "of the revelation -that Babe can bat when one has heard nothing of him except that he doesn't want to work.

The acting is confident and rings true in irojt ca-ses. The chafaeter parts are exceilently playsd and wn conceived. Frances Victory tioes Rome good work as Babe little sifter and Ruth Taylor is a winstome'lesdinf; lady. The wreen fare is not up to standard thi week in most of the theatres and fan will wcl! to take in the two pictures with the old-hm flavor, "Headin Home" and "Over the Hill to the Poor-houe.

TEARFUL Margaret Mower Play in in Welcome Stranger i i 3 I i THE THEATRES By Mc Elliott So far as we are able In our poor, fumbling way to determine from correspondence which comes from the Cohan offices there was a reriort circulated last week to the effect that William Collier was to appear "supporting Oeorge M. Cohan" in his forthcoming revue. Mr. Collier wishes the statement to be contradicted and Mr. Cohan says that if Willie C.

has been wounded by some one's misstatement he humbly begs his pardon, and there you are! They are both of them dangerously po lite in print about the matter. When it was attempted to remove from its frame the curtain of the old Daly Theatre it crumbled to pieces in the gentle, ma rauding hands of workmen. Now Margaret Anglin is fearfully disappointed, as she'd planned to keep the relic forever and a day. Walter Hast will present "The Open Book," a play starring Evelyn Nesbit, at the Shubert Gar-rick Theatre in Washington next Monday. "The Charm School" returned to the Bijou Theatre last night.

"Paddy the Next Best Thing" was removed to the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre and "The Greenwich Village Follies" breathed an expansive sigh as it eased itself largely into the opulent- domain of the Shubert Theatre.
