O, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1921 . Amusements STRAND—Vaudeville. ““There She Goes Again,” a humdrous | playlet, featuring Lella Shaw and company, heads a meritorious bill at |the Strana Theater this- week. The act Is a travesty on the eternal tri- angle and offers many a laugh, Mills land Smith in “The Hickville Rubes,” {also a laughable offering, a good is well presented. A novel and sensa- tional roller skating act is offered by Grace Ayers and Brother. It is full of skill and thrills. A novelty juggling act by George W. Moors, and a clever dance and song skit with Col- lins and Dunbar complete the well {balanceg vaudeville program. May Allison in a Bayard Veiller pro- duction is the film feature. It depicts clever detective work based upon jwoman's sixth sense—intuition, . The title is “The Last Card.” 1t is adapted from “Dated,” a Maxwell 8mith maga- zine story that appeared recently. A comic and news feature are added at- tractions. Photoplay Features. METROPOLITAN—“Gypsy Blood” “Gypsy Blood,” at the Metropolitan, is a screen version of “Carmen,” with Pola Negri in the principal role. The production of the classic story comes from the studio of Ernest Lubitsch and is one of the cleverest interpre tions of the play that has been pre- sented either on the speaking stage or in film form. Possibly it outclasses “passion” in%ts depiction of the trials and triumph of the gypsy girl. The scenes are well staged and there isi a total absence of multitudes thrust forward when not needed. The follies of the lover are shown in different periods of his career and point a moral. ‘The photographic work is very good and the performers dis- play genuine artistlc instinct. The main interest centers around Pola Negri as “Carmen.” Heretofore every effort has been made to show Carmen as a- wanton, who makes love to ‘everybody worth while to suit her varying whims. Negri makes Carmen a woman of the humbler claes, intensely devoted to her people. Each of her love affairs as shown in “Gypsy Love” is to gain some ad- vantage for them, irrespective of re- sults for herself. The love first shown for Jose de Navarro, which carries throukh the entire play, is perhaps a genuine heart-to-heart affair, but even this however, with the exception of the proxy, which-is burned. KNICKERBOCKER. Pola Negri’'s wonderful interpreta- tion in First National's presentation of “Gypsy Blood,” Ernest Lubitsch’s screen version of Prosper Merimee's famous grand opera subject, “Carmen,” was shown yesterday, and will be shown again today, at Crandall's Knickerbocker. . Minor films shown also include a comedy, *“Mind Your Business,” Topics of the Day and the Pathe News, all with orchestral "con- tributions above the ordinary. CRANDALL'S. Bebe Daniels, in Realart's production of “The March Hare” and Harold Lloyd, in “Among Those Present,” a three-reel comedy, are the attractions at Crandall's Theater the first three days of the week, starting yesterday. In"The March Hare," the first glimpse of the star shows her sliding for home League Makes Active Preparations FIGHT ON BLUE LAWS. to Battle Legislation. Active preparations to combat the campalgn of the blue law advocates have been started by the Anti-Blue Law Leagué of America, it was an- nounced today by F. C. Dailey, execu- tive secretary of the organization. Mr. Dailey pointed out.that the ad- vocates of the blue laws, who have well equipped lobbies in yirtually every state, will make a determined effort-this fall to have their legisia- tion enacted in every state where such laws are not on the statutes. “As evidence of this blue law agi- tation,” said Mr. Dailey, “the very first state legislature to convene— that of Alabama-—which is to be in special session this month, will have a blue law Sunday bill before it. In Louisiana a similar bill will be be- fore the legislature in September. A bill, so drastic that it even prohibits the use of electricity and gas on Sundays, except to churches and Sun- day schools, will be up for passage in Florida if a special sesslon of the legislature can be procured.” “We are not interested in the pro- AFFECTED.- IN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING PULSE, BREATHING AND DIGESTION also supposed to be one of the causes of this reduced tempera- ture, as the blood is not allowed a sufficient length of time for com- bination with the oxygen of the alr in the lungs. taken in and exhaled with increas- ing altitude was much less than in the plains and that but little The tragic death of Dr. W.

VLADIVOSTOK, August 13.—The Eastern Siberian Republic, with head- quarters at Chita, has been overw thrown by anti-bolshevik forces, ac- cording to unconfirmed reports from foreign sources received here. These reports declared the military stores of the Chita government had been flr;d and that the government had e Under pressure, the bolshevik troops withdrew to the west in the, direction of Verkhne-Udinsk with the intention of joining troops from Irkutsk. No official confirmation, however, has been received of the! above reports. Advices from Manchuli, Manchuria, infatuation is negatived somewhat in the last scene, when Carmen ac- knowledges her love for the matador, a love she confesses that is greater than any before. In the beginning, Don Jose is a soldier in the ranks, who faithfully guards the portals through which the smugglers must work. His friend- ship must be won. Then comes the old jailer whom she cajoles that Jose ‘may escape. Then comes. thé commander of the troops, who is eliminated in the fight with Jose. The rich oficer at Gibraltar is to carry valuables to another port, and here again Carmen is seen gather- ing the man into her net, 8o that he may be robbed of his valuables. The roughness of Carmen in her love episodes” is notable with Negri and shows a keen conception of the charactér. There is no dilly-dallying with the man she aims to conquer, but a quick rush into his arms, followed by burning kisses that he cannot re- sist. _ This natural roughness is brought out many times, when she is seen in agsociation with the smug= glers. Blow is taken and given with a flerceness demonstrating that she is_afraid of no man, but considers all as simply puppets in her hands. Negri’s Catmen is a wonderful mate actress. = The added féatures in musical program, and Topics and Pathe. - PALACE—"The Conquest of Canaan.” Characters portrayed in a manner intended to convey a picture of life in small towns appear to be favorites with screen directors. If they are all as good as Thomas Melghan's ne picture, “The Conquest of-Cpnaan.” which is the feature this week at the | Palace, plays of the rural disfricts of the United States will be found re- freshing substitutes for the types that too long have burdened the screen. Mr. Melghan's versatility and screen personality are shown to great ad- vantage in his current picture. Doris Kenyon and a notable cast are seen in_his support. Meighan is pictured as Joe Louden, a small town bey who runs afoul of “respectability,” the town's fetish, as exemplified by Judge Pike, ownér of most of the town's industries and the high priest of respectability. Louden is in love with Ariel Tabor, the vil- lage tomboy, played by Doris Kenyon, who comes’ into a fortune by the death of her uncle and goes to Paris to make her home. Louden is forced by the deémands of respectability to find companionship in a quarter of the town regarded as somewhat b low the level of the ‘respectabl element and is eventually forced out of town by Judge Pike and his asso- ciates. He studies law and, coming iback to Canaan, establishes himself as a friend of the under dog in the stratum of society with which he is familiar. His friend, Happy Farley, is sought by “Nashville” Cory, because Farley forbids his wife to associate with him. Louden-attempts to keep Farley out of trouble, but kills Cory in a gun fight. Louden’s defense of Farley wins his acquittal, and Louden marries his boyhood sweetheart, who has come back to Canaan in time to witness_his triumph. RIALTO—“A Heart to Let.” The Rialto reopened yesterday, after having- been closed three weeks, during which a new balcony has been partially completed. “A Heart to Let," picturing Justine Johnstone and Harrison Ford, is a pleasant little comedy. It is not an extraordinary story. A South Carolina belle, member of a famous family, finds herself land poor, with-an old colonial house and little funds. % . Her pride gives way to practicability and she advertises for boarders. One of the applicants is a young man, tem- porarily blinded, who had visited her Aunt Agatha in the same home twenty years before. The youthful Agatha, fear- ing she would lose a ler, takes the role of her aunt, easily decelving the blinded man until he suddenly regains his sight and plays an equally interest- ing game by keeping his discovery to limself. Many funny situations result, but all ends well. The Rialto orchestra haa lost none of | its well known art, and “Raymond,” the]| overture yesterday, showed the new leader to be quite capable. COLUMBIA—"Proxies.” Honesty is not only the best, but the| only policy. That is the moral of the story “Proxies” screened this week at Loew's Columbia. It features No: {man Kerry and Zeena Keefe, and is | attractively staged. Pedro Juan Mendoza, a Brazilian, jand Clare Conway, both with prison ‘recordl, have determined to “go I straight,” and their efforts to lea i better lives provides Frank R. Adams with the plot for his tale. The two are employed as butler and maid by a wealthy manufacturer, associated in business with an unscrypulous charagter, formerly warden o -penitentiary in which the butler and maid served time. ex-warden reeoguizes the one- time convicts and informs their em- ployer of their records. The employer, however, decides to keep his butler. {By securing a voting proxy the ex- warden endeavors to force his busi-. ness associate into a shady transac- tion, but is foiled by the butler, who; out of gratitude to his master, resorts to a desperate expedient.
