The reason for this is in the apparent ageclessness of the story. In the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature which is featured at the Capitol Theatre, Marion Davies breathes new life info the capti- vating character created in the theatre by Laurette Taylor. In her deft hands, Peg seems to have a new personality and yet with it loses none of the crystal romance of the Irish gamin we knew so well on the stage. Miss Davies’ performance is assuredly the best of many recent appear ances. She Has endowed her Peg| with a finer understanding and sympathy that might be traceable to her own Irish ancestry. Rich in Comedy The comedy moments of the story abound in richness of dia- logue and situations and the love theme, with Onslow Stevens as Sir Gerald, adds a poetic gentleness. The story of Peg is too well known to dwell upon but comes upon the screen with a freshness that is delightful, stirring at the same time fond reminiscences of another day. Robert Z. Leonard directed the film Trom the famous play by J. Hartley Manners. Frances Marion adapted it with the screen play by Frank R. Adams. Inclauded in the splendid cast of the new Davies starring vehicle are J. Farrell MacDonald, Juliette Compton, Irene Browne, Tyrrell| Davis, Alan Mowbray, Doris Lloyd, Robert Grleg, Nora Cecil and Geoffrey Gill. Not to forget Mich- ael, the TIrish terrier with a flair for trying to steal bones—and ¢TJse- ups. MRS. C. C. STILLWELL DIES AT ST. ANN'S | HOSPITAL SUNDAY!

A number of these youngsters play roles equal in importance to those of adult play- signed outstanding parts are !“rflnk Darro, Farina, George Offerman, ! Jr.,, Sidney Miller, Mickey Bennett Raymond Borzage and Charlés Cane. The leading feminine role in the picture was given o Madge Evans, who appears for the first time op- posite James Cagney.

Mong, Charies Wilson, Hobart Cavanéugh and || George Huinbert. The story by Islin Austér is al revelation of shocking conditions f|in a certain so-called reformatory where boys are caged like wild animals, half starved and flogged with a cat-o’-nine-tails for the slightest infraction of harsh and arbitrary rules. Tt is a picture of *| pathos, tragedy and thvflls, relleved | by a glowing romance in whlch love brings about the reform of the abuses.

ALEXANDER GEORGE THE SCHOOL LUNCH BOX Try to plan tasty and filling menus for the school children's lunch boxes. For sandwich fillings, you can use peanut butter, cream mixed with cream dates, sliced or diced meats or fowl combined with celery or let- tuce and raisins or prunes mixed with broken nuts. These fillings can be used for wiite or graham bread, but it is better to have sev- eral of each kind. Wrap the sand- wiches in waxed paper to preserve their freshness. Fruit, éne or two kinds, should ! be included in each lunch box and, with a-sweet sgch as cookié, cake, candy bar, dafes or raising and some milk or cocoa, a substantial as well as tempting lunch can be packed.
