There are four numbers OF head
lime calibre, In addition TO as many
other acts of merit, on the Temple
theater bill this week. which. with the
opening performance, Monday after
noon, inaugurates the fall and winter
season In this popular playhouse.
Foremost among the quartet OF
stellar attractions Is Charlotte Parry,
protean artist, In a sketch called IN
to the Light" She shows remarkable
versatility in the impersonation of
different characters In the course OF
her representation of a supposed muir
der trial, In which Woodworking
Italian woman is on trial for killing
another woman. The latter had
wronged the murderer by stealing her
husband and had threatened to prose
cute the assassin's little boy for THEFT
when his mother returns the 30 which
was stolen. Miss Parry assumes the
role OF each witness and an assistant
takes the part of the Judge and coun-
sci for the people and prisoner
The case goes to the jury after the
defendant tells that she perpetrated
the crime while In a rage TO prevent
her boy from prosecution as thief.
Her attorney sets ND the plea OF tenn
porary insanity and Just as the jury
Is about to give Its verdict, comes the
climax climax so abrupt that II
seems to give one Q severe jolt In
the solar picks, a regular Knockout.
The accused sinks FROM her position
of partial obscurity and, with walls
OF despair and apparent torture, dis
appears In the darkness. A moment
later the light Is turned on and the
defendant Is seen in her bed, Just re-
covering from a dream, q veritable
nightmare, the trial from which she
had Just emerged She finds her boy
safe and sound in an adjoining room,
and those In the audience who have
been through much the same thing,
as a result of too much rarebit,
realize her great relief.
Ethel Green, singing coincidence,
fayorite with Temple patrons, Ia an
other of the headliners. She has
brought a bunch of tuneful, catchy
songs along; also wardrobe OF new
and pretty costumes. Many OF her
new song hits are OF topical nature
and there is much in them - make
one laugh, In addition to being enter
tanned by her bird-like voice. Her i'm

ly good.
Diving of an artistic and daring
nature is done by the four Norins,
two girls and two men, father and
uncle OF the women. They dive In
IAN sorts OF positions into glass tank
of rather small size and their every
move IL visible to the audience.

young couple who courted and drift
ed apart, to meet 40 years later, both
still single, to renew their courtship.
| II IL a pretty little romance. much
pleasing sentiment showing through
out.
The Stanleys produce a clever ex-
hibition of silhouette work; Paul
Nevins and Ruby Erwood as The
coal man and the maid" do some
clever dancing, particularly clog work;
A. Seymour Brown and Nat ID. aver,
I'm Undiscovered" sing and entertain
with conversational comedy, while
Edward Jolly and Winifred Wild. as
sisted by Charles Clear, give what
they call First aid to the melan-
