10 'AMUSEMENTS; t POLI'S—"Phi Phi." i The flamboyant contents of a ma- gician's sleeve are mere mourning rags when compared to the mirth- surprises packed In the musical com- edy “Phi Phi” at Poli's last night. 1% the large audience included those with curiosity as to an apparently meaningless title, twy were hila- riously enlightened when the time eame, and art students among those present had the advantage of per- sonal observation as to how the de Milo lost her arms and why Winged Victory has come down without a head. For the average spectator, it is a laughable burlesque that dances out of the rut of the usual, with a chorus that stands for youth and girlish prettiness, and Eood, all-around acting by every member of the cast. i A prologue reveals a studio of the present, just as Apel Carver, s unveils @ somewhat as i statue of the Hon. Wiley Bunk, which is labeled The Hon. Bunk accepts the compl ment and takes the art for granted. The callers include a flirtatious young woman, Myrtle Mink—otherwise Fran- ces White—and in an atmosphere of Jewel-crusted dancers and dazzlingly Tobed incongruities who seem entirely at home in a studio dominated by a| wife addicted to temperament there circulates a classic being, ehtereally remote, who whisks the entire party back to B. C. 430, transforming each fnto a character most appeuling to self-love. The sculptor becomes a festive Phidias. and Bunk struts around i the gorgeous robes and diamond- ed curls of Pericles. Also he has carvied into the grandeur that ¥ reece a cigar and whiskers.

STRAND—Vaudeville. Songs, novelties and feature make up an enjoyable bill this week Beebe, as M at the Strand. At last night's first, showing the Seven Brown Girls in “Symphony of Music’ proved to be the most popular of the six skits, with La Follette, as “The Man of Many Faces.” impersonating many characters. running a close second. Acrobatics on the flying rings by Alvin and Kenny. kept the audience on seat-edge. Johnny Dove. in Scotch dress, presenting tunes. smiles and dances. proved an interesting enter- tainer. Billy Barker and Harry D\ln_n,“hx syncopations, were enthusiastically received. With Elame Hammerfis(dn as the star, “Remorseless Love,” the photoplay feature. was .well received. and added features, a multiple reel Comedy and the news weekly, com-| plated an entertaining screen pro- ram. Arthur J. Manvell’s direction of the Strand Augmented Orchestra during the descriptive fantasie, “An Auto Ride,” by Bidgood, elicited much ap-; plause.

Others in the company in- clude Jack Mitchell, Marie Lebeuf, Red Walters, Al Golden, Anna Arm- strong and Miss Buster Sanborn, an ingenue, who did a clever impersona- tion of the vamp. During the action of the comedy, a number of speclal- tles were introduced, among which was Mile. Gauthier in a series of whirlwind dances. PALACE—Elsie Ferguson, in “Footlights.” A photoplay of rare excellence is shown this week at the Palace in “Footlights,” adapted from the short story of Rita Weiman by John Robertson, large audiences crowding the popular playhouse yesterday afternoon and last night. The story is interesting and the translation to the screen hasx been well done, the scenes and titles helping materially. The star role, played by the popu- lar Elsie Ferzuson, is apparnetly one of her bhest creations, und she has had many, both the_speaking stage and silent drama. No actress can play a love scene better than] Miss Ferguson, and herein she has veral that carry both thrills ‘and onviction. As to the dresses, said to number thirty-nine, the fair sex finds a great deal to wonder at. . To those not familiar with the story, “Footlights” tells of a strug- #1ing actress taken up by a shrewd promoter. who quickly sees her fine capabilities and turns her into a for- eign actress, as he thinks it would never do to put forward an px-vaude- ville player in a stellar role. The foreign glamour and rare ability quickly carry the actress to the top rung of the millionaire 1dder of success and a 15 in love with her and Thinking he loves the ctress instead of the woman, @ fake drowning and takes .

The usual supplementary attrac- tions are interesting and include Pathe, Literary Digest quips, Mutt and Jeff.in an animated cartoon, and an enjoyable musical program.

Caption decoration is one of the principal features emphasized. The ca'gons in “Woman's Place” are decorats 4§ with kewples, dressed in the parts assumed by princlpal characters —political’ boss kewples, with derby hat and ever preeent cigar; henchman kewples, with caps and scowlicg countenances; flapper kewples, with merry widow bonnets and saucer-like eyes; all types of kewples are draft- ed to make the captions more than mere signboards.

The “Poet and Peasant.” played by the Metropolitan orchestra, under Director Mirskey won applause. Pathe Interesting this week and the Literary Digest's Toplcs of the Day furnished laughs. But a poly- chrome picturization of Yosemite val- ley in winter was the sub-feature which was an example par excellence of what the screen means to the popularization of natural beauty. CRANDALL’S—“The Mask.” The screen version of Arthur Horn- blow's story of “The Mask” yesterday was presented for the first time in the capital as chief feature of the bill arranged for the first three days of the current week at Crandall's The- ster. with Jack Holt, Hedda Nova. Fred Malatesta -and ' little Mickey Moore the principal members of the cast. The story concerns the adventures of a young San Francisco business man who leaves his wife and child to con- summate an important transaction in the South African diamond fields. While he is on the ground a huge diamond Is taken from his mine and he makes an advantageous sale. On the return trip frequent unsuccessful attempts are made to rob him of the precious gem. Upon one such occasion he is rescued by a twin brother. whom he has not seen in years. This scape- grace twin later allles himself with the plotter. who seeks the stone. and, beating his_brother home. almost shatters his home ties by impersonat- ing her husband to the walting wife. Jack Holt plays both brothers and makes the dual impersonatian one of striking _contrasts. Hedda Nova and Mickey Moore, as mother and son, Poiret Twills, Mousselyns— Plain-tailored and fur-trimmed.

Signor Natlello, In turn, em- bellished the bill with musical set- tings and speclal overture number, “Raymond,” by Thomas RIALTO—“A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” Considering the crowded houses which attended the performances yesterday and last night at Moore's Riaito Thea- ter the manazement made no mistake In y. Connecticut Yankee in King Artl Court” for another week's run. Because of the many thrills and humorous Incidents, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” is en- tertaining to every one, young or old. Howard Myers, the star of the play, Is seen at his best as the ‘Yankee." The story is that of Martin Caven. dish, a very young, modern and up- to-date American, who has a dream which carries him headlong into the picturesaue though exciting court of King Arthur. The Connecticut Yankee loses no time in soon Americanizing everything in sight. COLUMBIA—Douglas Fairbanks, | in “The Three Musketeers.” Douglas Fairbanks' masterpiece, “‘The Three Musketeers,” began its third week | at Loew's Columbia yesterday with crowds streaming into the theater for each_show. Douglas Fairbanks as D'Artagnan, in the screen verslon of Dumas' classic of romance and adventure, has abundant opportunity to show his characteristic daring and action throughout the entire picture. The hero of “The Three Musketeers' is supported by Marguerite De La Motte, and among others who take prominent parts are Mary MacLaren and Nigel Brulier. —_— The amount of earth brought to the surface of poor pasture land by worms has been calculated at as much as hur's the Metro- lend the picture strong heart interest, |eighteen tons an acre a year.

By Cable to The Star and Chteago Daily News. Copsright, 1921 TOKIO, Japan, October 15.—The an- nouncement that the Vladivostok revolutionaries are sending to the Washington conference a delegation headed by Nikolas Merkulov, brother of the nominal president, amazes ob- servers here. The present Vladi- vostok government Is composed of Semenov and Kappel soldlers and others under the protection of the Japanese, whe have Installed them for the purpose of selling stores of gov- ernment supplies and forcing certain claims upon the Far Eastern republic. The jurisdiction of the Vladivostok officials s limited to the area of Japanese occupation. which Is enly a trifiing portion of Biberia. How the Vladivostok delegation se- cured American passports {o enable them to enter the United States is thus far an unexplained mystery here. It has been suggested that it has some political significance in connec- tlon with the refusal of the Wash- ington authorities to recognize the de facto Russian governments. , The latest exploit of the Viadi- vostok government was to send a gunboat to capture Kamchatka and provoke an upriemng in Okhotsk against the sovlet government. In- tercepting the British steamer Gladys Moelper carrying provisions to Kam- chatka, the gunboat opened fire and drove the merchantman inside -the Japanese harbor of Muroran. At the request of the British embassy the Japanese navy is sending gun- boats to suppress the wit p sent out by their troublesome Vladivostok oroteges.
