The show- ing on the screen there of . Yankee Duudle i Berlin marks the high dive of Senmett 1nto the waters of full- blown screen productions. The com- edy's footage of five reels runs to nearly three times the length estab- lished by custom for Sennett’s filmod whery. it wul be no fault of Yankee Doodle that the iithe and supple mermaids “steal the show,"’for they will be cel- lectively starred in the flesh and its shadow reflection. All that will be issing to make their triumph com- Diete is a capacious tank on the stage. The bathing beauties will be flanked by a wealth of specially built polych- rame scetiery, in the preparation of Which cpense has not, been spared. and will disport on the Davis theatrc rtage in dances and poses, and again they are seen in a short film, Why the Beach is Popular. The title will sug- Kest to the reader that this photo- graphic exhibit viewed in connection with the, realities .of the stage leaves no possible .ungle of the sparsely but gaily adorned pulchritude of the girls unad In truth the bathing girls’ part of the composite movie-speakie may be said to have gotten over swimmingly, and there was ngne too much of it for the audiences, which responded in no- ble numbers to the appeals set forth in the advertisements glorified with pictorial stress on the human form di- vine. They sure saw what they came forth to see and the glad tidings have gone out that none shall be denied the same privilege during the week who have the price. Yankee Doodle in Berlin sounds like a war film. It is that only-in a sec- ondary gense and no ene would in any event be influenced against it, be- cause it is a Sennett comedy upon which more effort has been expended by the premier cinema tarceur than is his won’t. The entire film deals with the Hun imperialist in a boisterously satirical vein An American aviator is sent to Gérmany to obtain valyable war maps in the possession of the whilolm kai- ser. The aviator dons the attire of a woman and procceds to vamp the objects of his designs, and the stenes showing the rivalry of the bigwigs of the militaristic elique for the favor of the disguised charmer make for much broad comedy of sure-fire kind. The cast contains all of the Sennett farceurs—Charlie - Murray, . Chester Conklin, Marie Prevost, Ford Sterl- |lng. Mal St. Clair, Bothwell Browne, Bert Roach and Eva Thatcher, and they do effective team work in . pro- viding slap-stick fun at the expemse of-German pomposity and gravity.

The story's the thing! If you don't believe it, ‘drop in at the Breed the- atre today er tomorrow. and see A Damgel in Distress. While it is en- tad by those cléver co-stars, June Caprice and Crejghton Hale, and a supporung cast including Willlam H. Thompsen, Mark Smith, George Trim- ble. Charlotte Granville and others, and while it has been admirably di- rected by George Archainbaud and rroduced by Alhert Capeliani, the fact remains that the story, with its lud- icrous situations, is what delights you most. Pelham Grenville Wodehousa wrote the story and The Saturday Evening Post published it in serial form. Mr. Wodenouse injects into his werk freshness and novelty that never fail to recister individuality. Other pictures on the bill include Flarer ce Reed in Her Game. a notable succersor to Her Code of Honor, and The Woman Under Qath, and the Pathe News, Strand Theatre. The Vanity Pool. Mary Mac Laren's latest Universal Special attraction, is a six-star photoplay, for instead of having merely a group of ordinary ac- tors and actresses in her support, the cast for the American Beauty of -the Screen's” newest production includes five of America’s best known. screen luminaries. Franklyn Farnum, formerly a Blue- bird star in his own right, shares lead- ing masculine honors with Thomas Holding, the distinguished English star, who hag been featured in a score of _productions. Marin Sais, former Kalem star; An- na Q. Nilsson, former Metro star, and Virginta Chester, former Riograph and Mena star. all have important femi- nine roles in support of Mary Mac La- n. \ Vanity Pool was based on the story by Nalbro Bartley and has been turn- ed into a colorful apd convincing screen success by Ida May Park, Uni- versal's famous woman director. It vividly portrays the intrigues of political life and "points it how sgrupulously clean a would-b? office- seeker must keep his skirts. The star is seen as a tenement girl, who finds that love is but a hollow mockery when she discovers the man her heart cries out for already has a socially ambitiovs wife. There are any num- ber of big situations and tense mo- ments. Oritics who have seen Vanity Pool in’ pre-view declare 1t even & better production than Bread, in which Mary Mac Laren created a furore re- cently, Vanity Pool comes to the Strand theatre Friday and Saturday.
