LOUISE HOMER, BOSTON 1- PHONY ORCHESTRA AND MISCHA PALACE FEATURES o HAIL THE WOHAN | s The announgement for the Sedg- Exceptional cast m Film Head_ wick concert course season has liner Next Week aroused no end of interest among local music lovers, At any rate the result has been a long and steady line of subscribers each day at Sedgwick and Casey's music store on Asylum “Hail the Woman,” Thomas H. Ince's intensely dramatic masterpiece, which comes to the Palace theater on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, is a powerful production of “and it tastes just as good 7 as it smells!” street, Hartford, where the sale is now in progress, It is safe to pre- dict at this time that Parsons' thea- ter will house at least four large and brilliant audiences this season. The universal appeal, built on the theme initial event of the Sedgwick series of modern American womanhood. It {s from the master pen of C. Gardner Bulljvan, and was directed by John Griffith Wray under the personal su- pervision of Thomas H. Ince. This memorable play is a classic in motion-picture interpretation of hu- man motives, due alike to the univer- sality of its appeal and to vivid char- acterizations by Florence Vidor, Madge Bellamy, Lloyd Hughes, Theo- dore Roberts, Tully Marshall and oth- ers in a cast of unsurpassed brilliance and genius. “Hail the Woman,"” reflects drama from the screen so poignantly real as to enthrall the most critical audi- ence. It is an epic of noble woman- hood, sounding the very depths of the drama of life. The story deals with Oliver Beres- ford (Theodore Roberts,) a grim and bigoted New England farmer, whose uncompromising creed, ‘“Men and their sons first,” disposes harshly of woman's distiny. Beresford's son, David -(Lloyd Hughes,) who is study- ing for the ministry, secretly marries Nan (Madge' Bellamy,) stepdaughter ot the village odd-jcbs man and their union is about to be blessed with a child, The elder Beresford learns of Nan's condition, and of his son’s re- sponsibility. True to her promise to her weak husband, who stands in fear of his father, Nan does not announce that shé is David's wife. The elder Bereaford buys off the brutal odd-jobs man (Tully Marshall,) and Nan is driven from home, BShe goes to New York, where her child is born, and where she falls into a life of shame, through want and poverty. Her hus- band, David, maintains a cringing si- lence, The play passes from one tense sit- uation to another, and has a heart ap- peal such as has seldom been equalled. It ranks as the greatest screen classic of the decade. An augmented orches- tra will play the original music score Sunday night. The Keith vaudeville bill for the first part of the week will have four good dcts of a very entertaining na- ture. Frank Work & Co, offer the comedy novelty “Three O'clock in the Morning,” which is still a witching hour for a gentleman in high spirits to roll home, but the way that Frank does it is ex¢eedingly funny; Lilllan Morton calls herself ‘‘a pocket edition comedienne,” and offers a series of songs and comedy that will be well llked; Evans and Martin a singing, dancing and patter offering that have made them favorites everywhere and the bill will close with “Checkmates,” & unique musical offering. On Thurs- day the entire bill changes and brings as the photoplay feature, Thomas Meighan in “The Bachelor Daddy,” one of the most delightful photoplays aof the year. Particular attention should be taken to the announcement by the management of the coming en- gagement of Cecil B. DeMille's great- est achievement ‘‘Manslaughter,” which is now the talk of Broadway. Norma and Constance Talmadg:‘ will accompany Jeseph M. Schenck on his trip into Russia to discuss a proposition to produce films for the Soviet government Attendance at Cecil DeMille's ‘“Man- slaughter” at the Rivoli, New York, was 142 greater the first day than the attendance at the first day's showing of “Blood and Sand.” DAUGHTER HAD T0 HELP MOTHER Now Can Do All Her Hemsework Alone Because Lydia E.

Dean New York, Sept. 30.—The one thing:! that Alice Brady is hest equipped to dd on the screen is an emotional part. Her return to the screen after an ab- sence of many months is marked by a photoplay that gives her little scope to show her ability as an emotional actress. One or two such pictures as “Missing Millions,” and her name will be Mud, as the saying is. The story is based on one of the experiences of Boston Blackie, the fic- tion character created by Jack Boyle. Theater, October 23rd. a Decoration Day parade. Newsboys don't act that way. Newsboys are re- strained, sophisticated young men. ?r takes something like the assassination of McKinley or the sinking of the Lusitania or a World Series to make them wave papers above their heads. » s e Those who were interested in the recent series “Making Your Own Mov- ies” will be interested in Ben Turpin's latest comedy, “Home Made Movies." That burlesques the amateur produc- ers of films. It also satirizes the com- ics made by professional producers. Snow scenes are taken in midsum- mer while the players swelter in bear skins. A pet brown bear seeks relief in a glass tank of water. He tries to catch a fish; the fish bites him. He flees from the fish. That is just about as funny an incident as any ever filmed in a comic. This comic also reveals a few stu- dio secrets. It shows the cyclorama in operation. The cyclorama is a de- vice that revolves the background on a huge cylinder to make figures in the Alice Brady. ‘“Missing Millions” is a weak vehicle to signalize her return to the screen. { v Alden.
