We absolutely guarantee that all doubts as to her histrionic abil- Ity will vanish, when they see Gloria combining mimicry, broad comedy, tears and .pathos in one of the best character delineations she has yet brought to the screen, “Manhandled,” which was adupted by Frank Tuttle from the Saturday Evening Post story by Arthur Strin- ger, gives Miss Swanson a wide range of possibilities, and to credit it must be said that she makes the most of them. In this simple, human story, she plays the part of a shop girl, who starts life in a New | York department store, The picture was directed by Allan | Dwan, who has surrounded Miss Swanson with an exoellent cast, headed by Tom Moore, one of the greatest performances of his career as the hard-working me- | chanic whose honest Gloria in the end.

They are known as ‘“One |Thousand Pounds of Harmony," |which comes from the size of the men. Other acts include Ben Dov- er, which is tle name of a very clever novelty artist and which tells | exactly what he docs as he is a splendid contortionist and has a se- ries of stunts that are remarkable; Jawes and Edith James are musi- | clans and play a number of musical instruments in a very pretty s-tting. ‘Weston and Schram are called “The Fugsters,” and rightly they been named as they are two clever |comedians who depend entirely on good clean stories intevspersed with | some good singing.

C.J. Leroux, COHAN'S “0'BRIEN GIRL" Hartford Aggregation of Performers Show Thelr Versatility in a Gay, Merry Musical Comedy (By Herald Reviewer.) Not George M. Cohan's comedians but the Poll Players prance about sprightly in Cohan's “O'Brien Girl” at the Palaco theater In Hartford, This gay, merry musical comedy, Wwhich is most attractively yet not lavishly staged, is yeplete with witty lines, plenty of good comedy, singing and dancing. The versatllity of the Poli Players !s Indeed shown in this production where individual mem- bers of the company are called upon to perform various specialty num- bers, It would be unfair to say that any one player shone brighter than the others for all did exceedingly well in their respective roles. Joseph Wag- staff and Claire Noite, as Wilbus Weatherbee and Eloise Drexel, vied for leading honors with Arthur Howadr and Winifred 8t. Claire, This energetic young couple enter tained to a high degree of sucgess with their singing and dancing bits, “I'l Treat You Like a Sister,” “My Little Canoe,” “Conve tion Step” and “Partners For Life" scored big hits for these players. Mr. Wagstaft recorded one of the greatest hits of the second act in a dancing special- ty. Miss St. Clair has a pleasing volce and with Mr. Howard put across sev- eral gay song and dance specialties, Her rendition of “Learn to Smile,” the song theme of the play, was im- pressive. However, it took Irancis Williams to score the greatest ap- plause hit of the night in her spe- clalty number at the opening of the second act. Miss Willlams is a rlot | and brought down the house with | her own individual style of capers | and antics performed only as Miss Williams can perform them. She was forced to do several encores and | with each one brought in other| members of the company to share | her applause. Billy Lynn as Humphrey Florence Morford as Mrs. Drexel, command attention. Both do well in their interpretations of the roles, Lynn is a real comedian and in many instunces kept the house in a con- | tinuous uproar. He was ably as-; sisted by Edmund Abbey, his busi- | ness partner. A course of lartford young men and women comes in for a share of praise and when all is| considered the production is quite | worth while, Heals Like Magic Chafing, Rashes, Itching and all Skin Irritations of | Infants, Children & Adults. ‘ Healzmt Toilet Powder Gives Instant Relief.
