16 AMUSEMENTS | STRAND—Dr. J. Robert Pauline. Fulfilling in every way the headline announcement ¢n the bill of an en- gagement extraordinary, Dr. J. Robert Pauline, the French psychologist, kept the audience of the -Strand Theater in a state of wonderment yesterday with his demonstrations of oral, mental and moral suggestion. Making no claim to hypnotic pow= ers, the Frenchman stated that he based his offering solely along the line of auto-suggestion. Neverthe- less, his subjécts, who were volunteers from the audience, did his bidding in most remarkable manner. Among his outstanding demonstrations were those of making an apparently deli- cate youth become so rigid that he was able to support four men, who stood on his body after it was sus- pended between two chairs, and_ the inexplicable feat of driving the blood from a subject’s arm, causing both hand and arm to become white as wax and of such rigidity that it sup- ported the doctor’s weight, and later sumed natural color by the return of the blood The entire bill is of the headline full of wit and exceptional dancing. _Hazel Moran, From the Lone Star State,” opensw th a snappy rope twirling demonstra- tion and ends her act by swinging an eighty-five-foot _loop around _the stage. She is followed by Clifford and O'Connor, in a musical skit, “The New Pupil,” which won instant ap- roval.

RIALTO—“The Gold Diggers.” “The (¥21d_Diggers,” that amusing stage farce by Avery Hopwood that has to do with the lfe of the “hard. working chorus girk" has.at last been given its motion picture version, and a delightful picture it makes, too. It is shown this week at the Rialto Theater. Hope Hampton fs the viva- clous Jerry Lamar and Is careful to read her role in accordance with the original interpretation as given by Ina Clafre. . The spirit of the play is well pre- served and, if anything, the picture version exceeds the pay in entertain- ing_qualities, for there are many op- portunities to portray events in the picture that only could be hinted at in the play. The settings are interest- ing and beautifully photogranhed. The cast is unusually well adapted to the roles. Louise Fazenda has the leading comedy role, played on the stage by Jobyna Howland, and she is quite as funny as Miss Howland was. Wynd- ham Standing has the principal mas- culine ‘role, and others in the lead- ing roles include Alec B. Francis, and Johnny Harron. The story of the play is well known. Suffice to say that it tells of a group of chorus girls who have been dubbed mirers and others ‘“gold-dig- because of obvious trait attrib- uted to all of them. There is a very young and wealthy chap head over heels in love with an exceptionally de- mure little chorus maid. His uncle ob- | jects strenuously to the match and uncle has the right to cut off nephew’s income. Whrereupon Jerry Lamar, friend to the lovers, decldes to teach uncle a lesson. and proceeds to do so, with some rather astonishing result: Owing to the length of the feature, y “Topics of the Day, and “Fox News" are given In addition on the program. PALACE—“The Marriage-Maker.” The film attraction a “The Marriage-Maker, not a prosaic drama of modern so- title. In fact, it iy quite the contrary. for the realm of gnomes, fairies and | sprites has furnished the leading character, and the spectator is asked to reason not, but only to enjoy this fanciful story which is woven from gossamer threads of unreality The marriage-maker {s a faun who has bid a reluctant farewell to his companions, the nymphs, in the old Italian garden where they dwell, that he may follow a group of mortals and teach them to marry where they love. | Sylvani, as the faun is called, finds| one of these mortals about to shoot himself because of debts which even a prospective lucrative marriage can- not cancel. The whimsical is turned into the ridiculous when the creature makes a proposition that he will pick | the winners at the races and make a fortune for the mortal if he, in return, will teach him the arts of modern so- clety. Imagine a faun donning a dress | suit and poking in his long, furry tail with difficulty. Also picture him ca- vorting about the cold formal halls; of an English ancestral mansion, slid- ing down the banisters, bouncing up | and down on the lounges, dancing | along the corridors, rolling on the! floors and playing with the mice! which his trained eves discover! Of course these antics distress the English lord mightily, but the money which pours in from the faun's in-{ fallible tips is sufficiently acceptable to counterbalance the embarrassment he occasions. His matchmaking is as successful as his racing forecasts, and not only does he persuade the young heiress to disregard parental instruc- tions and give up a title so that she !ship of Bailey F.
