He asks what shall be done about it, and has for an answer, Mrs.

Andrew Dorsey, a plucky young matron who, as the saying goes, takes the law into her own hands. She gains access to the secret cache of her rivals' valuables and steals back her husband's donations. confronted with men of the law in a speechy third act, she has a word to say of the comparative villainies of lawful and unlawful larcenies and, emerging triumphantly vindicated at the end, proves Mr. Shipman's point that there are worse criminals outside the jails than in them. But Mr.

Shipman, surely, cares not so much for the proving, of his point as for the proving of his play, which is entertaining and a very effective, if artificial, stimulant. In it there is an amusing cad gracefully caricatured in the studied stage manners of Mr. Lowell Sherman. It includes Margaret Lawrence, diverting herself and the spectator with melodramatic gestures indicative of the exciting passions of the injured wife. It includes, also, excellent Allan Dinehart, his adept self as the insipid husband, and a number of others who contribute some sketches, boldly drawn, of gamey patrons of the second-act gaming joint.

Without contributing directly to 1922 literature, "Lawful Larceny" contributes a good bit of 1922 Si lit SELWYN Mm fl A Kt. MRS LESLIE CARTER JOHN MALLItlAY JOHN DREW EST SHE WINW000 ERNEST ROTRT LAWE0RD StLJj' Dy McELLIOTT. MOVES TO FULTON THEATRE NEXT M0N. Sir. Griffth does not regard your.

Samuel Shipman has, never been so little worried by the subject matter of a play as in "Lawful Larceny," in whicti is is throwing stones at an adultress in the Republic. He has the newspaper reporter temperament, easily and swiftly inflamed with righteous, though temporary, indignation but never so indignant' that the business of the story is forgot.

Thus, in "Lawful Larceny," he is editorial only briefly and not too prosily on the abuses that have been called the double standard, 1 i i i PLAYHOUSE '2'tx'U ALICE BRADY ROBERT WARWICK -in "DRIFTING" "HOLDS THE AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND" far Mu.

Apprised first that these sinful practices are to have their wages of retribution before the play shall end, the spectator is inducted into an interior where one Vivian Hepburn, beauteous wench, lives a life of attractive shame in a red gown, the sleeves of which are confected to accommodate a deck of over-aced poker cards. The arts with which her breed seduce and fleece the gamey married man are demonstrated on the person of Andrew Dorsey, a downtown gentleman, who met her one evening while the wife was out at mother's place in And the spectator is amazed to see how simply and girlishly these dames of the dubious duplex flats can flatter the company's check orchestra "razz" you unmercifully. "Orphans of the Storm" is good film stuff.

Some of the most exquisite effects in costuming and staging have been achieved. An unusually demonstrative first night audience applauded the dancing scenes in the gardens of a marquis.

The Gishes, Lillian and Dorothy, bill and coo in their well known 'ring dove manner. Lillian is Henriette, the elder, and Dorothy, of course, that sweetly pathetic figure, blind Louise. Their tete-a-tetes are charming, and their farewells at the foot of the guilltoine too real and heart wrenching to be part of anything known as entertainment. Only a word may be bestowed on the performances of Monte Blue, who is somewhat disguished in the heavy makeup of Danton; Joseph Schildkraut, enormously handsome and personable, as the chivalrous lover of Henriette; Lucille La Verne, horrible as the bad old woman who maltreats poor Louise; Leslie King, Sidney Herbert and other members of a competent cast. "Orphans of the Storm" is real Griffith material, worked up at moments to the point of hysteria, but always interesting.
