It centers about Anzonetta Lloyd, {bewlitching as Karda, an Arab girl, {who has made .an “allah” of Hugh Berndon, played by Harold An- struther, a fikst-family Londoner, who is made an exile through disappointed ilove fér a Lady Alicia Marchbank, whose husband had been murdered on the night that Hugh vigited her ap- partment to say his faréwell, before | leaving for Afrl | e setting is suburb.

The Shubert-Belasco this week offers !three attractions assigned to top-line| {honors, and the bill, is | good. {” Johnny Dooley, a big new New York | favorite, is probably the best of the ! show, as he has always something new {0 offer and is a comedian of original- {ity and intelligence. During the after- {noon’s performance, Johnny injured his ifoot, which compelled him to cut down | his grotesque dancing, but afterward ihe tumbled about the stage in his usual funny manner and danced his lassic number” to great applause. ! He introduces a real horse that rivals {“Snuffies” in looks, and he falls from its back with laaghing regularity. iJohnny has the Madison Sisters to as- isist him in his little dancing revue. While they have scant opportunity to show their dancing ability, their phy; cal charms are a feature. | Lee Whi i from London, !

She plays also victorious- Iy with the hearts of men and finally, When in love, herself loses. ‘It is not a pretentious play, but- is pleasing entertainment, and the star is, of course, delightful. Minor films and orchestral music are added attrac- tions. CAPITOL—"“Lid Lifters.” Origirality is one of the features of Lew Taibot’s 1922 edition of e Lid Lifters” which yesterday made its de- but at the Capitol Theater and re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome. “The Lid Lifters” include Bert Bert- rana, sne of the leading burlesque comedians in clean wit and ablity, as un eccentric dancer; Dotty Bates and Vi Penny. who scored in several songs, and Gertrude Ralston, who was encored time and time again in “Ten Little Fingers.” 3 The performance, “Hello Mars,” is in two acts and seven scenes and takes the audience to the planet Mars and Lack. A minstrel finale demonstrates that the clprus is as talented individ- ually as it is collectively. A wrestling match is billed for Thurs- Gay nigtt between Champion Joe Turner and Fnitz Hanson. Musical Events, January 10. The Philddelphia Orchestra concert and’ the Elizabeth Gutman and Percy Such joint recital will be given Tues- day, January 10, instead of tomorrow, as announced in yesterday's Star, the former at the New National Theater in the afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and the latter at the New Masonic Auditorium at 8:30 e'clock in the evening. Photoplays. METROPOLITAN—“Tol'able \ David.” Richard Barthelmess, associated with the success of a number of photo-productions shown here at va- rious screen theaters, scored stellar honors at the Metropolitan yesterday in “Tolable David,” before audiefices | that for size and obvious interest must have represented admirers fa- miliar with his work. ; In the story, which is forceful in its pungent with .the rough vigor of everyday life as lived by mountaineers, the star wins his laurels unaided by the accessories of fine clothes or lacquered hair. From first to last he is a mountain yduth; mother’s boy, who drives home the cows, runs races with a most capable dog; makes shy love to Esther, the dearest sort of a little next neighbo: but he is generally admitted to be Just tol'able compared to big brother Allen, who drives the mail hack, but who accepts his inferlority with a grumbling sort of docility, “unti his big moment comes, to change th adjective into everything that stands for loyalty and strength. Richard Barthelmess fulfills every advance. promise made for him. He is a vindication of the press agent. in that he gives to “Tol'able David a dramatic value seldom accorded in screen work, and one need be no rrophet to predict that, pursuing his prézgent study and fired by his pres- cnt ambition, the day is coming when the stage will know another actor of the “divine afflatus” of which Bar- retts and McCulloughs are made; and, perhaps, Booths. g The one fighting giant in his way will be representell by the money and glamor he is now gaining on the screen. The star's individual triumph is relnforced by a company\so dra- matically good that each serves as a type ‘in_the make-up of such a sparse little village as ‘“Green- {stream.” the combination providing a performance more suggestive: of stage than screen. The home life of " the hard-working, God-abiding | Kinemons, the excitement over the inew baby that is “a boy and weighs ten pounds,” the ruthless attack upon the young father and consequent death of old man Kinemon, which aives David his chance to be some- thing more satisfactory than “just tol'able,” and. before that, the de- |lights of the old swimming hole—all are portrayed with a naturalness that goes direct to the conviction of one Who knows life in the Virginia moun- ains. | "And nothing could have been more jexcellent than the work done by the three Hatburns, whp had escaped from jail and were terrorizing the peaceful village, for the reason, as the sheriff put it, “they hadn’t a jail !to hold thém.” RBut when David in- (herits the government hack from his injured brother and the biggest, evilist Hatburn steals the sack of mail—it is then that the youngster outgrows his tol'ableness und put up a fight that saves the sheriff all future ~concern—as to Hatburns. After that come the peace and hap- piness that give the story its proper ending. Motion _pictures of the year's events, a Snub Poliard farce, and the orchestra, led by Mirskey, in a outhern Raphsody™ of old-time melodies. with a skillful girl per- former at the harp, close the pro- gram. NANNIE LANCASTER., RIALTO—"“Queen of Sheba.” Betty he scores /a persona triumph in” “The Queen of Sheb: which was shown at Moore's Rialto yesterday and last night. Miss Blythe {is one of the handsomest women in the movies and her beauty is enhanced by the gorgeous robes of the Egyptian queen, which are unquestionably mag- |nificent. Miss Blythe's first appear- |ance as the queen, however, made the | feminine portion of the audience gasp. In acting, however, she easily earned lthe praise of being “every inch a | aueen.” The King Solomon of Fritz Lieber, a Shakespea n actor of renown, is a stately, impressive * characterization, and helps materially to the Success lof the screen play. Nell Craig also - | deserves notice for excellent work as jthe Princess Vashti. | “The Queen of Sheba” tells of the | visit of “the Queen of kgypt to the jeourt of King Solomon; jto King Armud; the arriv: V] | the battle betw 3 3 Solomon and those of Adonijah, and the well of the queen to King Solomon, {in wonderful scenes crowded with hun- dreds of people in picturesque cos- tumes. That it is one of the costliest pictures on record and required a year to complete is easily believable. J. Gordon Edwards, the directorghas won his laurels. Robert Bond Gotta, director of the orchestra, also deserves credit for the { musical score, which adds to_the en- joyment of the spectators. The pic- ture is a two-hour. entertainment, and | for this reason there are no added at- ilrucllo 8. PALACE—“Rent Free.” “Rent Free,” a new moving picture, {featuring Wallace Reid, began a week's run yesterday afternoon at before a capacity d is supported by Lila apable cast. The action rapid and. “Wallie” garners new laurels as a movie favorite. The story concerns the son of a {prominent lawyer, who rather than {lead the prosaic life mapped out fo v his father dicides to follow stent calling of art. This de ision leads him into many exciting adventures, which are chiefly due to his inability to pay rent. After be- ing gently pursuaded to take his bag- gags and “get out” by an unsym- pathetic landlady, . the would-Le art- ist decides to make the high places his abcde. Accordingly he chose the roof. During the course of his wan- lderings over the neighboring roofs, {he “encounters other roof-dwellers land “rent freers” and as one partic- ular rcof dweller happens to be a Leautiful young g'rl who has been cul out of her inheritance by a | scheming stepmother, the sympathies of the artist are immediately aroused. Of course, in the end a new will i found leaving two-thirds of the |estate to the beautiful young girl, and naturally Wallie and the girl, Lila Lee, will live “rent free” the rest of their lives, in the picture, if not in iher father's house. Both Reid and Miss Lee give cap- able performances in the face of a not particularly interesting story. of Sexes,” a Christie Pathe News and Literary Di- gest\Topics complete the program. COLUMBIA—“Little Lord Fauntle- roy.” Little Lord Fountleroy” with Mary Pickford pictured both as the little lord and his mother, began its second week at Loew’s Columbia Theater yesterday with no let-up in the crowds that marked the first week of_its exhibition. The story centers around the title to the earidom of Dorincourt. The younger son of the earl comes to America and while here falls in love jwith a beautiful American girl, whom he marries. To them is born a son destined to become “Little Lord Faun- tleroy.” The earl, however, angered at the marriage of his son to an untitled girl, disowns him. Later, the eldest son dies without an heir, | and, the second son also having died, the earldom by right of succession, would legally go to Fauntleroy. The | old earl, however, hesitates at c.nA‘ i ceding this and conducts an investi- gation, during the course of which a pretender puts in a.claim for the title, making Fountleroy’s succession for a time a matter of considerable ‘doubt. However, the friends of the boy come to his aid, the pretender is put to confusion, and the rightful heir is recognized. ‘The picture is directed by Alfred E. Green and Jack Pickford. The orches- tral program carried out the spirit of the picture and supplied a fine musi- cal background. ] +GARDEN—“Determination.” ‘Determination,” billed as “the mil- lion-dollar photoplay,” continued its run this week at the Garden Theater. . Itis said to be a true portrayal of life in the Whitechape) quarter of London. Joseph Lincoln, who has the dual role of John Morton, head of the mission settlement, and James Melvale, the gambler who has never failed to take a bet and who has_never lost one, shows a fine bit of repression as the mission head and a jovial disposition | to take fate as it comes as the gambler. After apparently “having been branded as the Mr. Hyde of a double character, John Morton is told on his thirtieth birthday that he has a brother, for whom he been mis- | jaken and misjudged. A meeting is brought about by a girl of the White- |chapel quarter “who' has proved the faithful friend of Melvale, and, the brothers are reunited. The daughter of an American senator, interested in charities and, incidentally, in the manly head of the Whitéchapel mis- sion, upon learning that the head of the ‘mission and" the Paris gambler are two separate entities, regains her faith and marries the mission head. Interwoven with the vicissitudes of John and James Melvale ‘3 lor, “The Na- at National—Laurette nthem.” Performance: 2:20 and 8:20 p.m. Poli's—“The Bat,” at 2:15 and 8:15 p.m. Garrick—"Desert Sands,” at 2:15 and 8:15 p.m. Kelth's—Valeska at 2, § and 8:15 p.

The play is well staged and exce| tionally well acted, although the di connected plot and lack of explana tory subtitles make it somewhat dif- fcult to follow. KNICKERBOCKER—“Tol'able David.” The attraction at Crandall's Knick- :rbocker yesterday was First Na- ional's adaptation of Joseph Herge- sheimer’s magazne sto! ““Tol'able David.” in whch Richard Barthelmess makes hg debut as an indivdual star. It is revewed in connecton wth the Metropoltan Theater. 'he Corner Pocket, featuring Harry Pollard, Marie Mosquini and other funmakers, and orchestral at- tractions are other features and al! will be repeated today. CRANDALL'S—“Never Weaken." ever Weaken,” featuring Harol Lloyd, is the feature of the bill a’ Crandall’s Thcater the first three day. of the week, and 1t appeared las 1ight to be the consensus of opinior that it represents by far the best work Harold Lloyd has yet contrib- uted to the screen. There is no questioning that it pre sents several original and most in genious comedy situations. and cer- tainly no picture of Mr. Lloyd's has ever-afforded more fun than when he makes his series of attempts at suicide Many thrills as well as laughs accom- pany these situations. The action of a greater part of the farce takes place in an upper story of a sky scraper. The despondent Harold is intent upon ending his life because he” thinks the lady of his heart ix in love with some one else. - He is lift- ©d from his seat by a girder to be hoisted to an adjoining building, and is ridden through the window and into the air. Laughter and cold chillx are almost incessant while he is sus- pended at dizzy heights. “Tricked,” with Irving Cummings. one of the old-timers of the photo play, is the companion feature. It is a drama of iftense interest, and it affords Mr. Cummings splendid op- portunities for his talent; REGAETS ARE FEW ON 191 PASSING Financiers See Even Greater Test for Country in 1922.. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 2—Wall Street views the passing of 1921 with few regrets, but looks hopefully to the future, although realizing that the new year will put the country to even a greater test of its resources and stability. Leaders of industry and finance emphasize their belief that return to normal conditions cannot be accom- plished until everybody settles down to_earnest work, economy and saving. For the most part, however, those who hold the purse strings and con- trol the country's important industrial enterprises believe that the Ugited States is destined to grow as a rid power. Europe Looking to U. S. This belief is largely founded on the fact that Europe is leaning more Reavily upon this market. All foreign nations, it is pointed out, look to the United States as almost the only market for the capital needed to effect the rehabilitation of the old world. The latest case in point is that of the Dutch government, which only yesterday awarded $40,000,000 or 40 per cent of a new loan to our bankers, the proccelds to be used in its far eastern colonies. Forecasts of general business con- ditions in 1922 are unusually difficult, in the opinion of conservative ob- servers, because of the many uncer- tainties which “beset the era of readjustment and reconstruction. OPTIMISM IN MEXICO. MEXICO CITY, January 2.-\Financial circles of this city show signs of optim. ism over negotiations which have been under way between the secretary of the treasury ‘and representatives of Ameri- can banking houses. Augustin Le Gor- reta, manager of the Banco Nacional and representative of J. P. Morgan & Co., and Eduardo Iturbide, repre- senting the Speyer interests, have gone to New York, and ‘it is stated they will report' there upon the progress made during recent conferences. FRENCH BUDGET FOR 1922. PARIS, January 2.—Unofficial reports place the total of the 1922 French budget at 24.608,286,000 francs, waich is 326,000,000 under the amount de- manded by the government. Included in the bhudget is one item of 12,886,000~ 000 francs for meeting the interest on the public debt. 5 CONFIDENCE MARKS SELURTY MARKETS Industrial Outlook Gives Hopeful Feeling to Bank- ing Circles.

CHICAGO, January 2.—Railway mile- age in the ited States declined 1,200 miles during 1921, which set a new low record In improvements and new equip- ment, according to reports. Locomotives and freight car records show the smallest number ordered and «ne smallest number built and delivered . since a record of equipment statistics | nas been kept. Only in passenger cars ordered and built have there been lower years. t Abandoned mileage during the year totaled 1,678 miles, while new mile- age was 475 miles, the smallest ever known, except in 1920, when it was 314 miles. The abandoned mileage is the largest ever known. A low record in freight cars ordered, 20.667 for the year, was also made, the smallest previous number being 25,899 in 1919, N. & W. OUTLOOK GOOD.
