The plcture throughout is said to show many new turns and twists in the art of direction. ‘Two Metro movietone acts will be pre- sented—Van and Schenck, singing comedians, who do several numbers, for his fine characterizations in “Flesh and the Devil” and “The Scarlet Let- ter.” GQustave Frohlich, who plays the only other role in the entire drama, is classed as one of Europe’s notable film actors, * “Homecoming” deals with the exile of two soldiers in the wasteland of Siberia, an idea which in itself offers a weaith of direct imaginative power in the stark realism of its production. The prison scenes as well as those depicting the slavery of the men who must toil in the lead mines are said to be authentic. The picture was directed by Joe May under the supervision of Erich Pommer. Charlie Chaplin's “Shoulder Arms,” one of Ufa’s popular Oddities, and other added attractions, will complete the program.

Denied this, she indulges in mid fiirtations. These afterward lead to consequences which cause three married couples to fiee from each other, only to be brought togethef again under another roof. This forms the basis for the action in “Twin Beds.” WARDMAN PARK—“Master Skylark.” “Master Skylark,” or Will Shake- speare’s ward, brings a costume play to the junior theater at Wardman Park, Friday and Saturday of this week, with | ‘matinee and evening performances both | days.

George Vivian has the stage direction. STRAND—“Best Show in Town.” { Promoters of burlesque are said to be | skilled in selecting what they call “box office titles,” and one of the successful demonstrations of- the art of titling is “The Best Show in Town” which is coming to the Strand Theater next week. Selecting stage names is another art that is said to have its effect upon | ticket sales, and the lady who stars in “The Best Show in Town” has gone back as far as H. Rider Haggard to name herself “She” plus the mode addition in “Dances of Flaming Youth. “She,” your elder will recall, was & dancer, “And how,” as we say in the | modern vernacular. The Dutch come- rian, Jack Erickson, is the featured unster. Not officially “featured” will be a chorus of associate “Shes” who dance and sing, and sing and dance, ac- carding to burlesque custom.

E. Farrington. Dr. Farrington states that during his stay at the school Wilder spent his time writing brief playlets, designed to run | only a few minutes, and requiring casts | of two or three.

PALACE—“Mating Call.” Rex Beach's famous _story, “The Mating Call,” will be the feature at Loew's Palace, starting Saturday. With an all-star cast and directed by James Cruze, director of “The Covered Wag- on” and “Old Ironsides,” the picture is a departure from the ordinary run. Thomas Meighan has the leading role and he is supported by Rence Adoree and Evelyn Brent. Meighan is pictured as an officer who returns from France to find his wife, the village belle, married to some one else.

The first picture will be shown at 11 am. Another change assures five de luxe shows on Saturday, including the over- ture, news, short subjects, stage unit and feature picture. FOX—-"“Making the Grade.” Edmund Lowe, the “big casino” in the all-talking picture “In Old Arizona,” will again speak from the Fox screen next week in George Ade’s humorous story, “Making the Grade.” Co-starred with Mr. Lowe is Lois Moran, herself a star of long standing. George Ade’s story concerns & snob, and a rich one at that, who through love for a girl (Lois Moran) is made to be regular and a hero as well. In other words, Miss Moran cajoles, browbeats drives the snob to “make the grade” to be what she thinks he should be. The picture was directed by Alfred E. Green and is the fourth George Ade story that | has been brought to the screen by him. ‘The stage portion of the program, “Bert Frohman's Jubilee,” will have many entertainers of international re- pute, and Leon Brusiloff and his or- chestra will offer an attractive overture in addition to the Fox Movietone News, presenting another of Chic Sale's char- acter studies, “A Lady’s Man.” EARLE—“The Carnation Kid.” A funny talking melodrama, “The | | Carnation Kid,” with Douglas MacLean | in the leading role, will be the screen | offering for a week at the Earle Thea- ter, beginning with the premiere Friday midnight of this week. MacLean’s por- trayal of the quiet, unassuming type writer salesman, mistaken for the Ca nation Kid, a notorious Chicago gun- man, is said to be the best he has given to the screen since his delightful pe: formance in “Twenty-three and a Half | Hours' Leave.” Incidentally, Douglas | MacLean also speaks from the screen | for the first time in his career. | When a peace-loving citizen, bent on | selling as many typewriters as possible, | it is rather disconcerting to be taken up by a gang of criminals who want, or rather expect, him to kill the district | attorney, who is up for re-election. And, to complicate matters, the sweetheart | icture and the stage unit. regardless of the time one entel theater. The O O FOOT Saver Shoes Not Sensible Looking Shoes— Just Sensibly Constructed!
