The Davis theatre presents Mr. Georgt Arliss in “The Devil” today and tomor, fow with Sylvia Breamer, Laucy Cetton Edmund Lowe, Roland Bottomley ant Mrs. Arliss in prominent roles. ' In the fullest sense of the word, “The Devil” is a photographic triumph—an inspired seresn masterpiece—a classic. It achiever many things. It marks the photopl debut of Mr. George Atiiss, who hat steadfastly refused to appear before the camera, It presents him in his greates' role and one that was the sensation of two continent Gripping, tense and dynamic is th story, Vivid, colorful and highly visionan In the production.

A Paramount Magazine will close this won- derful program. William Hodge in “Beware of Dogst™ The sage who observed thgt dog i man's best friend did mot reflect the opindon of George Oliver. Not by & long shot. For it seems Mr. Oliver's experi- ence in conducting a boarding place for dogs led him to entirely different con- clusions. “Beware of Dogs!" became his slogan and just why will be fully ex- piained at the Davis theatre. Wednesday evening May 11th when William Hodge appears in his new come- dy of that name. In passing, it may be stated that in the {character of George Oliver, Hodge admir- ers will see their favorite in a part en- tively different from anytbing He has yet done. In comparison with his past achievements, fts nearest approach is his Freeman Whitmarsh in ‘Sag Harbor.' Only then he was a village painter and goesip while in “Beware of Dogs!”" he is a young city business man seeking his wealth in the country. Lee Shubert has provided a fine eom- pany for Mr. Hodge, the cast including Ann Davis, Mary Lawton, Marfon Van- tne, Luciile La Verne, Helen Salinger, George W. Barbier, Leighton Stark, Louis Barclay, Harold Heaton, Philip Dunning, ete. Strand Today, Tuesday and Wednesday The Isie of Yap is the big musical comedy succeeds at the Strand fer the first half of this week. This same mus- ical comedy is now playing in all the large cities and is making a big success wherever presented. This same comedy will be presented at the Strand on a smaller acale and with the Strand's small admission price. This comedy is one you should not miss. On the same programme is a six reel Vitagraph super-special production fea- turing Alice Joyce in “The Vice of Fools.” Do you know what this vice is? See. Human beings are largely the result ot follies. The average person chases mad- Iy after a mess of pottage and lives to repent his foolishness. “In Vice of Fools" Alice Joyce is seen a8 a young woman who allows folly 1o bet the better of wisdom and the result is a series of compilcationa that have unusual dramatic value. There are many light spots an dmuch subtle humor in the action which tends to em- phasize the emotional scenes and gives ] Miss Joyce a scope seldom witnessed in stories of this nature. The chief virtne of “The Vice of Fools” is its delineation {of life as its exists. The story of Marion jand Cameron is that of hundreds of oth- | er headstrong young persons who asow infatuation to get the better of common sense and draw those around them into & network of circumstances from which ¥ becomes difficult to become extracted. It is different from the average film and the ending cannot be anticipated at the start. One is conptantly speculating as to how It will end. The climax comes as a surprise andiis not what ene expects Breed Theatre To praise Bert Lytell scems unneces- sary-—it has been dome S0 often and a0 well. All that is needed is to say thaj he is starring in “A Message from Mars,” which opened yesterday at the Breed theatre as the feature attraction, ansd which will continue for today apd Tues- day. There is hardly a screen admirer whe has no tseen Bert Lyteil before. But if there be one who has not seen him, this opportunity should not be missed. “A Message From Mars” was adapted fro mthe successful stage play by Rich- ard Ganthoney. One the ecreen it gains an added luster and beauty, for here the possibilities for showing the action ever a large space are incréased. The story deals with reggneration from selfishness o fa wealthy young Eng- lishman, who takes everything for grant- ed, and puts everything in its subservient place, his flancee included. She ledves him finally, and everything is tottering around him when a sudden conversation of soul at the sight of suffering humanity brings him to the right goal. This s due to a messenger from Mars condemned to haunt the most seifish man on earth. The effective supporting cast includes Raye Dean, Maud Milton, Alpbonz Ethier, Gordon Ash, Leonard Mudie, Mary Lou- ise Beaton, Frank Currier and George Spink. The Pathe news and a Ceptury comedy complete the bill. | easily places their music ahead of the ordinary orchestra. In fact the very essential “knowy how” is apparent.
