It concerns avery prosaic Britisher, living in a middle-class suburb who, on a drowsy Sunday is aroused by the appearance at the door of a hindo or “a man of th East,” whom he has __ befriended with a loan. The easterner displays his appreciation of the favor by presenting the Bri- her with a crystal that has the ver to transport its possessor back or twelve years and, in a few h emodel those years along lines other than he has followed. Ten years before the gentleman had ed a train; it irked him; he won- |dered what might have happened had he boarded it. So the magic of the al traverses the ten years, a different decade than he had erienced. He goes into a desert in of a fortune left a young lady e acquaintance he makes on the train “and becomes ruler of a weird tribe of idolators, Being a Britisher jhe naturally knows right from wrong |—it is instinctive with them. He |frankly tells them he alone knows what is good for them. The lady of ithe train he missed arrives and be- gins an intrigue with a sheik to mur- raer her benefactor, the ruler of the desert tribe. The fellow magages to escape and goes back to England, where he re- sumes life as it was before. In a few heurs he has had ten years’ exper- lence. The actors get the most out of the play. Walter Kingsford as John Beal, the middle-class Englishman, is amusing. Margot Lester as the girl who alternately uses banal feminine | iivert Carron, ten tricks and flys into tantrums to get le Englishman Had | RUDOLPH SCHILDKRAUT. 1 Is appearing in two screen roles this week. At the Broadway Theatre he is seen in “Harp in Hock” and at the Roxy in “The Main Event.” what she wants is competent, and Albert Carroll first as the man from re ast and then as a servant of the pooh-bah of the camp again proves that he is a competent and versatile rformer. | It is a typical middle class fantasy and has as its purpose to persuade its audiences that no other conceivable existence could be superiorsto its own. ‘ The program at the Jefferson Thentre this week ‘will be as follows: Monday to Wednesday, Charles Pur- cell; Joe Marks & Co., and I. B. Hamp & Co, on the stage and Reginald Den- ny in “Out All Night” on the screen. Thursday to Sunday, Franklyn Ardell & Co., Johnny Marvin and “Under- world,” with George Bancroft and Clive Brook. Julian Eltinge, John Steel and Emil Boreo are the headliners at the Pal- ace this week. Other acts are, “Jerry and Her Baby Grands,” with Gerald- ing Valliere; Billy House and com- pany in “Resolutions,” and Dewey , Barto and George Mann.
