o PR e 4 e el et e i SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1921 “THE DEVIL'S PASSKEY” AT GRAND TONIGHT | Scenes of gay Parisian life, pro-| duce¢ with unusual realism, are|g features of Erich von Stroheim’s lat- est Universal-Jewel production, *“The Devil’'s Pass' Key,” which comes to the Grand theatre on tonight and| Sunday. Mr. von Stroheim was thei author and director of “Blind Hus- bands,” the recent Universal success, and to be one of the best phcmplays, of several seasons. TH¢ feproduction in “The Devil's; Pass Key" of life in Paris, where the storyqis laid, is gentine jn every de- tail. Mp. von Stroheim has spent a good._ded) bt ‘time’there himself and much of the local color of the scenes in-the-French -capital is the result| of his own. experience. The'story concerns an Amercan au- thor living in'Paris with his extra- vagint wife, who -becomes hopelessly in debt at the shop or an unscrupul- ous modiste. Expecting the woman to follow the Parisian method of get- | ting a rich lover to pay her bills, the modiste introduces her to an Ameri-| can army-officer. This turns out to be the most fortunate thing that could happen to the young wife. Sam de Grasse, who played the part of the husband in “Blind Hus-; bands,” is the husband in “The Dev-| il's Pass Key,” and Una Trevelyn is| his wife. Clyde Fillmore portrays the | American officer. Others in the cast are ‘Maude George, Leo White, Mae Busch, Ruth King and Jack Matheis. “Cured by the Beach,” is the com-: edy. i KEEN COMEDY IN NEW HAWLEY PLAY An American college girl in an; American college story.

It's a dandy plot and puts American college life in just the light 1 like it best.” In “The Snob’ Miss Hawley is sup- ported by an excellent cast including Walter Hiers, Sylvia Ashton, Edwin Stevens, Julia Faye, Richard Wayne and William Lawrence. “THE LAST OF THE DUANES” AT REX TODAY ONLY Those who love to see William Far- num in Western character roles will have another opportunity at the Rex theatre today, when he will be shown in his latest Fox photodrama, “The Last of the Duanes,” a picturization of the popular novel by Zane Grey. Bucl: Duane becomes a hunted man after he kills a cowboy who had re- peatedly threatened his life. He “lone wolfs it,” keeping away from civilization and mixing with bands of desperadoes until his meeting with the girl whom he rescues. He gains a ‘pardon through her and by running down a band of outlaws. The pic- ture is fraught with stirring incidents and palpitating drama, according tc reports. “WHAT WOMEN LOVE” AT REX BEGINNING TUESDAY Annette Kellerman, the modern Venus, who comes to the Rex theatr¢ on Tuesday in her first comedy drama, “What Women Love,” is sup- ported by a notable cast of favorite players. Playing opposite the star will be seen Wheeler Oakman, best remem- bered for his work in “The Spmlel’!." “The N¢ler Do Well,” “Mickey,” ‘rmdl more recently with Pricilla Dean in “The Virgin of Stamboul.” Oakman plays an unusual role creditably; the role of a man who _turns quickly from a mollycoddle to albrute-breaker and phves that the brawniest are not always the bravest. Walter Long, Carl Uliman, the cele- brated Bull Montana and Ralph Lewis »are fimong the best known of the able cast. “What" Wome'n Love” was pro- duced by Sol Lesser. Production was torial associate of Lois Weber. H. P.

Charlie Murray, hero of a million episodes, will be introduced in a role of legitimate appeal,.. He will i personate a .‘“grave and reverend” Jjudge of the supreme court, playing the part with digrity . and power. This revolutionary role ‘will be re-| vealed in the opening scenes of the story when Justice und Romance will come in contact. Marie Prevost, a bride, and George O’Hara, her young husband, appear before ‘“‘Judge” Murray, carrying to the halls of juctice the fragrance of a romance about to die. Here, it is pointed out, is a sincere and authen- tic picture of dramatic material,| treated in a sympathetic and digni- fied manner, with ever so slight a wink of the eye on the part of the .earned jurist. Not long, however, loes the plot remain in the at- mosphere of staid drama, for the urist, in order to convince the jeal-| >us bride of the innocence of her | »ridegroom, tells a story of his own sxperience when he, too, was a bride- zroom; the said story’s purport being ‘o discredit circumstantial evidence. | It is this story that forms the bulk | of the episodes depicted in “Love, | donor and . Behave’—episodes that sring Murray Inek to his traditional | -huncteflzntlom in hilarious fun and | hglling predicaments. Murray’s story, which is sgen on the screen but| spoken to her, convinces the plqllnntw Marie of the injustice of her suspi- cions agd the integrity of her hus-| band’s iove. It incidentally bears a moral for the married and the un- married, but mainly it promotes mirth, unrestrained laughter and gen-! uine thrills. FOLLIES GIRLS SEEN AGAIN IN “DON'T BLAME THE STORK” With the story centering,around a bachelor coming home from a party in the early hours of his wedding day| and finding a strange baby on his| doorstep, the Follies Girls have a par- ticular fitting place in “Don’t Blame| e Stork,” newest of the twotreel hristie Comedies which ‘comes to the | Rex theatre Sunday. There is a par- ticularly ‘elaborate, setting showing the cabaret where the bachelor party is held and in the course of this the Follies Girls appear, led by Mollie; | McGowan, who has won all sorts of dancmg and beauty prizes in the Los Angeles film ‘colony. Harry Gribbon | ‘who makes his Christie debut in this| picture heads the cast which includes| Teddy Sampson and Helen Darling.

Mitchell, New York Life, under policy 6231989. He paid the first year premium of $34. One year later he became disablid and The New York Life waived all further premiums and the insured is receiving an income for life which does not reduce the face of the policy at death. The average man does not fear incapacitation through ill- ness or accident for a week, a couple of weeks, or a month. But the average man does have a well-grounded fear that, as the result of some accident or serious illness, he may become totally disabled—a situation that is often worse than death. New York Life says: that if you are disabled all-further pre- miumis dre waived and the in- sured receives $10 per month for every $1,000 of insurance carried, and at'death the full face of the policy is paid. If death by accident then double the face of the policy is paid. 1d-1-29 DAILY HONEER‘ i |.

( Joseph Reichenbach of S0 Henry street, has a- curiosity in the way of a fish which :throughout ‘the West In- dian country I8 known as the “crucifix tish,” ‘and ‘is ‘regarded with & mixture of reverential awe by the natives, who throw’ specimens caught in their nefs back into the sea and cross them- selves when they come on the skull of one, i plainly on the under side of the skull the figure of a man on a crucifix with a halo about his head. On the other side of the skull is a figure of a monk with a cowl bending before an altar. Mr. Reichenbach prizes the speci- men very highly. He keeps it in a' little wooden box like a’coffin. For- merly he was barber in the Hotel of St. George, and one day John L. Sul- livan, the famous pugilist, happened in and Joe showed him a specimen of the odd fish. Sullivan was deeply im- pressed, and expressed a wish to have one like it, so Joe made him a gift| of a duplicate of the fish. . There are other peculiarities about® this fish skeleton which Joe has. When it Is lifted.up and shifted there is ai rattling in the skull like dice rolling. Those are what are known as the “air bones.”—Brooklyn Eagle. Determifithg Poisonous Vapors.
