IEthel Barrymore, the charm- ing star, is at her best, and with the ad itage of one of the greatest comedy plots that has been presented in many a day, it is little wonder that she took the Fox audience by storm vesterday. The story is that of Betsy, | whose late husband left her encum- bered by a will which forbade her taking anything but an American for {a second husband. Far-sighted Betsy, good old | | who has fallen in love with a titled Tinglishman, conceives the idea of de- feating the by marrylng an American for a second husband, but immediately divorcing him, and mar- i rying her Earl for a third, as the literal meaning of the will had made reference to the nationality of anything but her second. She reck- | oned, however, without a full know- !ledge of the circumstances, and gets | herself into the prettiest mix-up im- aginable. Lots of credit for the suc- cess of the comedy belongs to Irving Cummings, that popular screen star ‘who is in her supporting company. An extra added attraction on the pro- gram is “The Feudists,” a splitting comedy about a “spite-fence,” which brings back those superlatively popu- Jar comics, John Bunny and Flora Finch. The semi-final episode of “The Red Ace” is among the other sub- jects shown. The management takes | pride in announcing as the star of the Jriday and Saturday attraction, beau- tiful Jewel Carmen, whose perfection of feature and form have earned for her the significant title “the Cameo sirl.” iss Carmen will be remem- bered as Willlam Farnum’s leading woman in “The Tale of Two Cities, and, more recently, and “When a Man request of her ardent admirers from all over the world, Mr. Fox has de- cided to make a star of her, and this week she will be seen here in her first wring vehicle, “The Kingdom of Love.” Although one would not guess it from the title, it is an absorbing and exciting drama of the Arctic Circle, where men have gone to find gold, and have lost their souls.
