SS OOD: OA EVs | | | PAGE FOUR IN “THE WANTERS” 10 COME HERE TOMORROW Aside from its dramatic value, “The Wanters, to be presented at theater on Tuesday, and Thursday, is of Interest to women because of the stunning costumes worn. It is a drama of society life with the plot hinging on the romantic elevation of a serving maid to a high place on the social register through marriage. Such famous beauties as Marie Prevost, Norma Shearer and Ger- trude Astor are among those who display the beautiful wardrobes that are a feature of this picture. Misses FE t, Shearer and As- tor are three «istinct types of femin- inity, and accordingly, the clothes each wear are entirely different in styles. Marie Prevost's charming girlishness sets off admirably a boufant-skirted frock of gray satin, opening over a petticoat of accord. fon pleated rose chiffon Norma Shearer whose beauty Is Grecian in type, chooses the dignity of lon nes, flowing panels and in- genious drapings, while Gertrude Astor’s stately height permits her to wear the striking costumes belong- ing woman. DESMOND NOT FOND OF CUSTARD PIE COMEDY “I never did go in for custard pie in comedy!” So averred William Desmond, to the t star of Universal's “The Breath. less Moment,” a crook-comedy drama, which comes tomorrow to the Wyoming theater. There are several reasons for the remark, arising out of an episode in Which the star's feet and the pride of the bakeshop mingle. And Bill Desmond is still looking for re venge, if he ever finds the culprit who put that ple in his bed. It happened during the filming of the hospital scene in the play. Desmond, playing the victim of an explosion, entered the neat cot in the big hospital ward constructed on the big stage—then leaped out with a shout of mingled surprise and rage. A mass of beautiful yellow custard clung to his feet! Robert Hill, the director, recov. ered from his_surprise, calmed the angry star and started an investi- gation. None of the property men knew anything about fr It was rumored that Lew Cody, a particular friend of Desmond's who was visiting the set, was seen con- sulting an assistant “prop” man shortly before the scene was taking. Others in the crook drama are Charlotte Merriam, ‘ Albert Hart, Kate Lester, Joseph W. Girard, Al- bert Fisher, Margaret Cullington and Harry Van Meter. ‘Countess Calm ‘Happy,’ Family Still Obdurate PARIS, Feb. 11.—Countess Salm, nee Millicent Rogers, who sailed from New York two weeks ago with- out the foregiveness of her parents and with no friends of her debutante days to see her off, assured the United Press today that notwith- standing many newspaper untruths she and her husband were “per- fectly happy.” But Co'onel and Mrs. Rogers, Millicent's parents, have not yet re- lented in their opposition to the Say count as a son-in-law, the countess admitted. “There's no question of foregive- ness, There's nothing to forgive.” she insisted. Millicent, a little tired, with a Uttle note of weariness in her voice, reiterated how happy she and Salm were—or wou'd be if only the news- papers would leave them alone. The count and countess were re- ported to have left Paris for St. Moritz, but this proved to be not the case. eB A Alexander Hamilton proposed that The president of the United States ehould be elected for life. One western theater manager has adopted the plan of selling seats in accordance with the size of his patrons, the shorter being seated in the front and the taller behind them. Scientist Prescribes Gland Treatment Dr. Arnold Lorand, physician in charge at Carlsbad, Austria, an in- ternationally recognized authority on medica! progress, recommends gland treatment as a’safe and sure method of preventing ill health and warding off premature old age. The famous scientist in his book, “Old Age Deferred,” says: “Considering the great importance of the glands | venting premature old age, we in Dr insist on the reinforcement of their functions, if changed by a or disease, by means of extracts o tained from similar organs young, healthy animals. Z Such a, compound is now offered to the public in the form of Glana- ogen, a highly concentrated and ef- ficient tonic, prepared in conven- fent tablet form from the glands of Young healthy animals and com- ounded with other valuable ingre- ents. ‘This tonic has already achieved some remarkable results. Glandogen is obtainable at the Kimball Brus Store, Midwest Phar- tail orders given prompt atten- tion.— Advertisement, | SHATTERED INTHE COMMON LA Those who believe in the shatter- ing of conventions will find much to defend in the actions of the leading characters in “The Common Law,” the picture now playing at! the Rialto theater. The spectator is given two sets of conventions. Qne set includes those accepted by hu- manity for ages, those which deal with the holy bond of matrimony. The other deals with the proud dis tinctions of class. In “The Com mon Law” one or the other must be broken. If the man marries the woman of his choice he will have destroyed the family name in the eyes of the world, according to the theory of his parents. If he does not marry her but accepts her as wife according to the common law of marriage there may be even greater disgrace. Conway Tearle and Corinne Grit- fith play the leading roles in “The Common Law.” This itself fs enough to insure the merit of the picture for ene is becoming used to the idea that where Miss Griffith and Mr. Tearle appear there will be a photoplay of high dramatic qual- ity and perhaps with a tendency to skatter preconceived notions, Miss Griffith as the pretty artist's model who shrinks from her task at first because of the things required of her but who later becomes the most popular of models, and Mr. Tearle as the artist who for years has been painting nearly perfect pictures that lack the soul element achieved only by suffering on the part of the artist are excellent characters. Another who has an important role that stands out strikingly 1s Elliott Dexter, also an artist and the rival in love of the leading character. ¥ “The Common Law” has a lavish setting ranging from artist's studios to gay cabarets and impressive country mansio: DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS IN “THE MARK OF ZORRO” In “The Mark of Zorro,” a screen adaptation of Johnston McCulley’s novel, “The Curse of Capistrano,” which apeared serially in the ‘All Story Weekly” magazine, Fairbanks’ production for the United Artists which will be the feature at the Iris theater commencing today and Tues- day there are certainly several real- istic and most thrilling fencing scenes portrayed. “The Mark of Zorro” is indeed a most delightful picture and the sup- porting cast was exceedingly well- chosen. The performance of Noah Beery, Marguerite De La Motte, Robert McKim, Chartes Hill Mailes and Claire McDowell are especially commendable. <<< —___ William T.

One suspects that the young lawyer who has shown his tendency toward soft heartedness before will not at once start things moving into the street just because a man who may be in poor circumstances has not paid his. account. There are some surprising turns in the film. The most surprising one takes place when the collector goes to a small town to collect $800 frem J. Hudson. ‘The identity of J. Hudson is not learned at once. tut when it is, well one would scarcely expect a young man full of romantic longings to act differ ently. Lytell is always an attraction. So is Blanche Sweet for that matter and Bryant Washburn and other stars of no mean magnitude. “The Meanest Man in the World” is a refreshing take-off on present Gay business methods. It shows the need of lack of humanity execute some business deals, This photograph, just received from Berlin shows Karl Scheibner his wife and stepson. A years’ orgy of robberies and murders was revealed by the boy’s prattling tongue.
