The play, which is based on the pop- ular comics of George McManus is entitled "Bringing Up Father On Broadway." It is the work of John writer for the stage. All the beloved char- acters of the famous cartoons will appear--Juggs Mahoney, Maggie, Kitty aad Dinty Moore. X The plot, which is novel and brimful of surprises, shows the so- cial aspirations of Maggie and the many adventures of those concerned. The action takes in various locall- tles including New York, Hawaiian Islands, Egypt, Paris and Italy. Plenty (of opportunity for scenic em- bellishment has been provided, a re- plica of one of the most noted Broad- way roof gardens being shown. New and catchy music, along with "a beauty chorus of twenty sprightly | and beautiful young women are a few of the features. . | PUBLIC WANTS REAL ACTING ON SCREEN Theatre-goers Not Satisfied With Good Looks and Clothes, Says Mary Alden. There was a time when the mo- tion picture screen was but a beauty market, but in the language of the cartoonist, 'Them days is gone for- ever,' says Mary Alden, celebrated film star noted for her picturization of the mother type of character, "Motion picture producers, most of them, have wakened to the fact that the pfliblic of to-day demands genuine dramatic ability as well as that nowadays even the most beautiful screen aspirant must learn to act if she hopes to reach # a really high place in the favor of theatre-goers and to retain that place once attain- ed. "There stances beautiful stars, through the box office, just na- turally refused to remain attracted because they could not act. The public built the toboggan for these synthetic stars, - placed them upon it and then gave them a shove, as it were, The natural laws of gravitation did the rest. And to- day that weeding out process is writ- ing out beauty on the screen unless it possesses dramatic ability as well." Miss Alden, who is one of the prime film favorites of this city, will be seen here at the Grand to- morrow, Friday and Saturday in the Wo- man," a Charles Giblyn production for Allied Producers and Distributors Corporation. In "A Woman's Wo- man' she again plays the mother role and gives one of the very best of her surpassing characterizations. The picture itself is a big production in all senses of the "word, and presénts an intensely humin do- mestic drama. An added attraction, the International comedy favorite, Mex Linder in his supreme burlesque "The Three Must-Get-Theirs." been many in- girls possessing have become have where features "THY NAME IS WOMAN." - A Glamorous Drama of Love And Thtrigue--Romon Novarro Heads Cast. "Thy Name is Woman" is the dra- matic comet of the year. This new production opens § three day engage- ment at the Capitol. theatre to-mor- row. The acting and atmosphere were so vivid that every spectator must have felt as if he were being brush- ed by the comet's blazing trail. The credit for this accomplish- ment appears to rest surely on the shoulders of euch favorites as Ramon Novarro, Barbara La Marr, William V. Mong, Edith Roberts and Claire MacDowell. That cast is one of the strongest of the season. Cer- tain it is that no other combination of players had succeeded in getting over any better the illusion of real- ity. The story, of course, has a lot to do with it. It concerns the eternal conflict of men over a beautiful wo- man. An old smuggler in the Spanish Pytenees has a young wife who is sought by several other men. A young soldier is sent from the gar. rison ta make love to her and thus learn enough about the smuggler to effect his capture. The soldier and wife fall in love and the struggle is on. With this as a starting point, the picture works up to great dra- matic climaxes, with the final solu- tion coming only stter a tragedy. The unusual chance for rich, warm atmosphere with the back ground of life in the Pyrenees has been full ytaken advantage of, the interior sets, especially that of the | masquerading engineer, | ginia Brown Faire but a discriminating public, | has Been abducted by the Chinese. { He finds, however, a happy way of ! solving these problems. e plays the role of the while Vir- is to be seen as the slave wife, X LOCAL NEWS ITEMS Brief Items of Interest Picked Up by the Whig Re= : porters.
