'l‘)f girls, beautiful girls depicting every type of beautiful femirinity known to the stage, even to the two kinds that men are warned to shun,—blondes and brunettes The opening scene of the Follies is a masterpiece and brings to memory something that has figured in the news of the past year with all the consistency of a remittance man ask- ing for money,—it is a submarine. And on the bottom of the ocean. There is a wonderful mermaid there, and the commander of the U-Boat tells her he is looking for a woman different from the kind on earth where they have reached the stage of exasperation. She does not under- stand his quest and so he invites her to take a journey to the surface where he will show of the entire works. Then follow the follies of the past year with a glimpse of a well known evangelist, “Nut Sundae,” and a well known and justly mous politician, who caused some nsation the other day in the Nebras- ka primary. Leon Errol who deserted the ranks of burlesque some years ago to join the forces of the Follies is again the leading light in the comedy line, coupled with Bert Williams who this vear falls somewhat behind his mark of two or three years ago. Then there is Ina Claire who takes a hand at many things, including a very clever song about farie Odile” and who afterwards joins Charles Purcell in the rendition of some of his songs. Kay Laure]l who has no speaking lines but who has several poses in which she gives Venus a run for first hon- ors, had no difficulty in winning favor with the male portion of the house Then there was the dancing of young George White and Anna Pennington, and the dancing gymnastics of Carl Randall who did the same things vears ago in vaudeville, the juggling by W. C. Fields a well-knawn vaudevillian. it was a gala event with the fun-making of Ed Wynn standing out all over the play. There are beautiful scenes, some clev- er lines and some funny situations in the grand review this year. It 1is worth while to see Ed Wynn, as Sun- day, Lon Errol, as Rip Van Winkle, and Will West, as Jennings B. Ryan, get together and start on their peace expedition and they really ‘get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas.” . MME. BERTHA KALICH IN FILM, “SLANDER” Mother love forms one of the chief themes in the master motion picture drama “Slander” which comes to the local Fox theater today for a two day showing in which Mme. Bertha Kalich As her character in the film story of ‘“‘Slander,” Mme. Kalich | is ousted from her home and divorced from her husband through the injus- tice of that vowardly weapon the name of which is used as the play’s title. She is forced to leave her two children, which parts are taken by the talented juvenile actor and actress little Miss Jacqueline Morhange and Master Walter Ferguson. The wronged wife after a long ab- sence returns to see her children, al- though the courts gave the father their custody. She is discovered by her husband, T. Jerome Lawlor. The latter returns to discover his divorced wife with the two children and a scene follows which is a wonderful piece of acting 4 on the part of the great star, her op- posite and the little ones. Mme. Ka- lich in this picture play does acting which critics assert is even more won- derful than her stage triumphs. She is a great advocate of the motion pic- ture, and doubtless feels before the camera an inspiration which is as great or greater than ‘‘stage power” Wwhich actor folks feel before the foot- lights. Mme. Kalich knows that her work Wwill be seen by millions as againt thousands on the stage, as she expresses it, and she shows it in her acting, a Dower of pantomimic ex- pression which reaches the very peak of dramatic expression. The interna- tional actress who has appeared on the stages of many countries is sup- ported in this latest William Fox pro- duction, which every woman should see and men should study by a strong company, many of whom have note- worthy stage records. In addition to Mme. Kalich in “Slander,’ 'the program offers an ex- ceptional multiple reel feature “His Greater Conscience,” produced by the Pathe Gold Rooster, a two act LKO hilariously funny comedy attraction, With Billie Ritchie, the Uncle Sam series and other single photoplays of sterling merit, framing a delightful evening's entertainment.

Me- Donough and Arthur W. Rice, mem- Pers of the board of compensation and essment; Willlam F. Brooks, chairman of the park commission, and E. W. Schultz, member of the cemetery committee.

William I*. Brooks is a member of the firm of Davis Brooks, Hart- ford architects. His continuance on the park commission is-a stroke of good fortune for the city as he lends Mr. per- al- vnusual ability to the work. Brooks designed the proposed tola for Walnut Hill Park and though the board of finance and taxation felt that te city could not afford the expense this year all were enthusiastic over the plan. The lay- out for the new north end park was largely the work of Mr. Brooks and much credi personal interest he work. E.
