DOUGLAS, FAIRBANKS in VAUDEVILLE THEATRE THE VAUDEVILLE Phone 5300 REVIEW What is said to be the fastest movv ing and most intense story of life as it is lived in New York's Great White Way is promised to the patrons of the Maple Leaf Theatre when ,"Bright Lights Of Broadway," a Principal Pictures offering, begins its two days engagement on April lst and 2nd. A notable array of players make up the cast, the featured roles being entrusted to such capable artists as Lowell Sherman, Doris Kenyon and Harrison Ford, and they are supported by Edmund Breese, Tyrone Power, Effie Shannon and Charles Murray. Glimpses are also shown of the famous Beauty Chorus from the New York Hippodrome, and the sixteen Tiller Girls from the Ziegfeld "Follies." The story culminates in a climax of the utmost intensity.. - There may have been such an exag- gerated type, but that must have been before my time. I've always 'found the modern waitress a keen, bright, good-humored miss, one who finds pleasure in pleasing others. Her hours are long and her work is exacting and difficult, and it has always been u H1tlr- vel to me how' these girls manage to keep the blues away when they are tired, or when they come into contact with some grouchy customer suffering from Chronic indigestion. Yes, I hope to play to many wait- resses in the audience and I inn sure rant going to enjoy every minute of it. Perhaps I can make it a bit of a testi- monial---a hearty thank you-to the girls and women who have worked so hard on many occasions to make things nice for me." I "Bright Lights of Broadway," Fast Moving Melodrama of New York's Night Life, Soon To Be Shown Here "As you know, the life of an actress is generally a restaurant or hotel exis, tence," said MissrAmos, "and I have always found waitresses willing and eager to go far out of their way to make things pleasant for thelr guests. If I was asked to analyze the Phenom- enal success' of "The Girl from Childs" I think I could sum it up in one short sentence; It is TRUE. It shows the waitress just as she is, and not cur- ooned and burlesqued as she has been on the stage and in the comic supple- rents for many years. _ Miss Ruth Amos, who, of course, takes the leading role in next week's presentation, "The Girl from Childs," hopes that everybody who eats in ho- tels or restaurants or ever expects to, will see this play. Aside from seeing one of the best plays they have ever witnessed, it would give some of them an entirely different viewpoint on the young ladies who hover about their tables proffering menu cards. The entire production was filmed under the personal direction of Hunt Stiomberg. It was adopted by Harrier Gates from the novel by Izola Forrester, who wrote, "The White AMoth,” and gives the sereen's incomparable emo- tional actress an ideal role. This is the setting for this intrigu- ing and fascinating story.

Heal, formely of the R.M.L.I., now a resident of Toronto, who was on the Vindictive.and fought on the Mole, Was a special guest Fast evening, along with many representative citi- zens, including Major Bert Wemp and Capt. K. Boyd, who took'part in the raid. At the.Oakwood for 3 days on- Jy, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. LURE OF ORIENT IN The whole battle of Zeebrugge is wonderfully and accurately depicted, including the ships, going into action, H.M.S. Vindictive taking the brunt of the battle, the blockships rounding the Male arid blocking the canal. and the T.N.T. laden submarine finding her way under the viaduct near the beach and blowing up that structure, cutting off the land reinforcements. Che last the Germans saw of the British was the glorious naval ensign floating in the breeze, and to the side in the pie- ture is the spirit of Nelson. l It is a great relief from the com- mon photoplay, such as seen every day in Toronto. So realistic and so soul-stirring is the story of the action that one actually takes part in the raid, and at the height of the battle on the Mole feels that they are hand in hand with "the boys" of that glorious and. successful exploit. Permeated withr that British spirit which won the War is the British film "Zeebrugge," which was shown at the Regent Theatre, Toront, February 2nd. The film is a reproduction, with the assistance of the British Admiralty and the Belgian Government. of that won- derful British raid on "Zeebrugge" on St. George's Day, 1918, and contains elaboration far beyond any artificial photoplay. ‘It is stirring, patriotic, ed- ucational, and entertaining}; It depicts accurately, with many surviving offi, cers and men taking part in the repro- duction, which took place at Zeebrugge Mole, and with the victory attained one feels that it is a glorious thing to be British.

EHEJI‘IMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Alt, good advertisement writers pe- cownize"'that people like to read about what they" already know. A man who has attended a certain baseball game is more anxious to read the account in the sporting extra than if he hadn't been there. If you witnessed a rail- way accident and know all the de- tails of it, nevertheless that is the first thing you look/for in your newspaper. So it is in adrertising‘. There must be repetition, not only of phrases, but of pictures, bec'ause it is most effec- tive to let people have the pleasure of recognizing that with which they are familiar. When a stage comedian keeps repeating an absurd phrase with just a slight variation in his draw], to avoid monotony, his remark grows funnier each time, until finally the crowd laughs when he merely looks as if he were going to say it. No won- der there is so much repetition in ad- vertising. The familiar phrases are the ones that get the most attention. Too much clever novelty would be fatal.--- Fred Kelly in the Natitm's Business. "A Girl of the Lirnberlost," in which pretty Gloria Grey enacts the featured vole of Elnora Comstock and Emily Fitzroy that of the heart broken n10- ther, Kate Comstock, is declared to be one of the most vivid photodramas of years. Directed by James Leo Mee- han, it incorporates all of the dramatic incidents of Mrs. Porter’s justly cele- brated novel. as a naturalist. Many years of her life were spent in the woods, where she learned to understand the ways of bird, animal and plant life at first hand. Her books are illustrated with pictures she took herself in the exact spots which form the locale of the stories. , It might be added that the mouée trap catching of humming birds ceus~ ed at once after the facts were told to Mrs. Porter. ' [ Aside from being the most outstand- ing figure among women writers, Mrs. Porter has an international reputation _ "The cat of a friend of mine," con- tinued Mrs. Porter,. every morning seemed to catch several humming birds. One morning she trailed the cat to some fruit trees of a r1eigh- bor. Here she discovered that little spring mouse traps had been fastened near the ripening fruit so that the humming bird would be caught by the leg when it came to peck the fruit, as humming birds do. "It's bad enough to kill a humming bird, but to torture it by allowing it to hang by a broken leg in a mouse trap until a merciful cat comes along and kills it is inexcusable." "The Meanest man in the woeld lives in California," said Gene Strat- ton-Porter, noted American authoress during the filming of her production of her famous bdok, "A Girl of the Limherlost." The picture will be presented at tl- [ Maple Leaf Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, March 30 and 31. ' An all star cast appears with Gaston Glass in "The Spider and the Rose" coming to the Mame Leaf Theatre Saturday, April 3rd and 6th. Pro- minent among; the principals are Alice Lake, Louize Fazenda) former Mack Sennett comedy star and now a screen actor of no mean ability, Otis Harlan, Noah Berry, Baby Richard Headrick, Andrew Arbuckle, Harry Northrup, Robert McKinl, Joseph J.

EDWIN STEVENS LEAVES STAGE FOR ROLE IN "MOVIES" That was the only ('ommenl from Director David Smith when his pir- ate crew became so enthused over the enacting of a scene in Rafael Saba. tini's famous novel, "Captain Glood," which will be shown at the Parkdale Theatre on Monday, Tuesday & Wed, nesday next, that it was ruined. Otto Matiesen, who portrays (thief Jtlstice Jeffreys in Rafael Sabatini's famous ove story "Captain Blood" which ‘will be shown at the Beaver Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 30-31, April I, has the distnetion of playing the same role in another of Sabatini's stories, "Scaramouche." He is regarded as a typical Jeffreys, and the name has be- come familiar to him as his own. Re- cently Mr: Matesen has appeared, in "The Thief" and "The Dangerous Maid." "Too much realism, boys. We'll have to do it over again." Douglas Fairbanks' glorious fantasy of The Arabian Nights, "The Thief of Bagdad,” the attraction at the Beaver Theatre the -last three days of this week. This photoplay, according to all accounts, surpasses anything hereto- fore seen on the screen. This extra- ordinary picture has upset the equili- brium of the critics in every city in which is has been presented. It is the crescendo photoplay. It is a fantas- tical story of love and adventure, abounding with amazing happenings, and what critics generally have called unbelievable wonders. If you still be- lieve in love, if adventure still stirs you, if you like your heart to miss beats in ecstatic moments of exciting suspense, if you enjoy the surprise of seeing things that theretofore you thought were impossible-here in,“Tlie Thief of Bagdad" are all these things, in the background of beauty and splen- dor, In this picture a winged horse. flies up to and through the clouds, a magic carpet soars over the housetops and into the sky; wonder after won- der, surprise after surprise, are here revealed in amazing abundance. To depict such happenings on the screen has never been considered within the bounds of possibility. This crowning achievement has been accomplished by Douglas Fairbanks. It has received the highestendorsements that any picture has ever received. _ ’ l , REPITITION IN ADVERTISING A SMILING THIEF INDEED TOO MUCH REALISM OTTO MATIESEN Mr. Cyril Warren, student of Vie- toria College, and a probationer of the Methodist ministry, preached to a goodly number of people in Humber- vale Church on Sunday afternoon.

See this on Monday night when all West Toronto will be at Lowe's. There will be lots of laughs-lots of love---o bit of drama and a tear now and then. Add to this originality, a strong plot that catches you from the very first minute and keeps you in- terested to the end-'and you will have some idea. of the reason why "The Girl from Childs" has been a success front one end of the country to the other. With this revelation events come thick and fast and Mary is then only too glad to leave. Through a surpris- ing turn of events the family---Oh, there, now we are telling- Any way. things happen after that so quickly that the whole plot becomes one uproar of gripping, humorous, in- teresting entertainment. There is a pretty girl called 11ptry who works in Childs Restaurant. A wealthy society man marries her and sends her to the palatial home of his parents. Mary is very surprised to. find that she has married into an ex- clusive, haughty, blue-blooded family. She becomes a." targetHor most of her "in-laws." They offer her money to go away and not "disgrace" the fam- ily, but Mary refuses. ‘ She is sincere- ly in love with her husband, but at last comes the startling revelation that he married her, not. because he loved her, but to achieve revenge on the jazz mad society debutante who broke her en- gagement to him. Of c011rse‘\,it would never do to tell too much about "The Girl from Childs." It would spoil it if we let you know just how it ends, and all about it.
