The great merit in his way of enuruinln? is that it convinces the average citizen that ‘Will Rogers himself is having these odd experiences and that his unique combination of delight and wisdom is winning a battle with the world. Appearing in the screen version of a somewhat historic story, now celled “Young as You Feel” at the Fox Theater, he plays around in one of George Ade's notable con- uing original style of org: playing, another episode in the serial, “The Vanishing Legion,” and selec- husband and the close friend are brought into the story, but it is not the ordinary triangle, for the second man the efforts of thé wife to keep the family intac:. Behind the fiction involved is a series of pictures representing the perils of the Antarctic region, and the rivalry of the dirigible and the plene is a factor in the working out of the story. The producers give credit to the Navy Department for assistance in filming the strong camera representations of an area of snow and ice, swept by the storms of a polar region. The difficulties pro- vided by nature are intensified by the urge of hunger, and the result is a tragic outcome, so far as most of the members of the expedition are_concern “Dirigible," already familiar to the theater-going public, has a strong fascination because of those quali- ties which have been observed in pic- tures of official exploration. The in- terpolation of domestic incidents gives i’ that touch of human life which lends interest to its story. There is also an outstanding emo- tional quality in_the march back from the South Pole after the air- plane has been destroyed, and the members of the party, one by one, succumb to the rigors of their ex- perience. The rescue of the last of the party by the dirigible and the smooth progress of that craft over the frozen regions are pictures likely to linger long in the memory. Repre- sentations of the storms, with their devastating force, stir the sympathy. The plot of the play is stmple but ef- fective in the hands .of extellent actors.
