The story of kitty MacKay" is
remarkable for its simplicity and
clarity, as we'll as for the super
abundance of sparkling comedy with
which the author has invested the
lines.

by Scotch family of low degree.

PARAMOUNT

The feature of the photoplay mas
terpieee presented by Daniel FrohI
man at the Paramount Theatre next
week will be Nine. Bertha Kalich,
the celebrated international star, in
her supreme dramatic triumph,
Marta of the Lowlands.' This gifted
emotional actress portrays role
that will be long remembered in the
minds of the theatre-g going public as
one of the greatest demonstrations
of pantomimic art ever recorded on
the screen. In this famous drama
there is something stately, austere,
terrible and yet entrancingly beau
tiful about her throughout the play.
Marta is a beggar child, who is
adopted by Sebastian, wealthy
land owner. who makes Marta his
victim. Hoping to marry wealthy
woman, but at the same time to re-
tain his influence over Marta, he
schemes and arranges with Tomas,
the hermit, to marry her to Name
Itch, a. simple, untutored shepherd
living in the mountains-a rough
child of nature who kills wolves with
his bare hands and who knows moth
ing of guile and deceit.
The wedding takes place, Manelich
loving Marta and being under the
impression that she loves him. Later
he learns that he has been tricked,
while Marta, who had at first be-
lieved that Manelich had been
bought with the masters gold to be-
come her husband finds her conclu-
sions wrong, the honesty of his pur-
pose and love compelling her to re-
ciprocate love for love.
The developments which follow
make the drama one Of the most pas
sionate, intense, trenchant character
studies ever produced or created in
the theatrical or motion picture
world.
Nine. Kalich makes of Marta a
patient sufferer, a dramatic and
tragic figure as she bravely endures
all the cruelty and indignities that
are thrust upon her by the ruthless
master, Sebastian. The poignancy of
her grief the restraint and anguish
fill one with awe. Throughout it all
the beholder is impressed and over
whelmed by the hypnotic power of
the artist and the appeal Of the
woman.
The play was written by Angel
Guimera, the distinguished Spanish
author, and, besides its powerful
dramatic qualities, is full of the poe
try and color technique which per-
meate the emotions and the very ex-
istence of a mountain people. The
smallest details have been invested
with such illusions of reality as 10
make it all seem life itself.

be no doubt that it is. right up to
the minute and a trifie beyond. There

THE MAJESTIC

Another bill of sterling vaudeville
is the one that will be offered at the
Majestic the first half Of the. coming
week.
Chief among the comedy acts, and
a fit bill topper in any theatre. will
be a comedy sketch offered by
Maude Burns and company. The
sketch has been seen in many of the
larger cities throughout the east and
has attracted quite a little attention
for its laughmaking qualities.
Harlow and Franklin are q clever
pair of juvenile entertainers, Offering
what they term a pot pourri of
vaudeville nonsense. The Benton
Trio have a novelty equilibristic act
that is full of thrills and the team
of Hardy and Tom are said to be as
classy a pair as have ever been seen
on the stage. Snyder and Francis, in
songs and talk, and three other
vaudeville acts will make up the
vaudeville end of the show, which
will be rounded off with six first-run
motion pictures.

NEWARK

Julian Eltinge, the fascinatingly
clever interpreter of exquisite femi-
ninity, returns to the city next week
when he begins a weeks engagement
at the Newark Theatre. He will be
seen in his newest success, The
Crinoline. Girl" which had a success
full run at the KnickerbocSer The
atre. New York, last spring and
which is the work of Otton Hauer-
bach, the author of ''The Fascinating
widow" the musical piece in which
Mr.. Eltinge appeared for three sea-
sons.
1.-THE Crinoline Girl" it is said, is
utterly unlike any other entertain
ment recently offered in the Amerl-
can theatre The author calls 1t "a
farcical melodramatic comedy with
songs" which phrase though appar-
emily contradictory, would seem TO be
the best description that could be ap-
piled to it. 1t is said to be most
ingenious blend of farce, comedy and
exciting melodrama, with the comedy
element predominating.
The "songs" are interpolated num-
hers introduced by Mr.. Eltinge, who
will If is promised, wear his GUS
tomary bewildering array OF stun
ming costumes. The press agent IN
Inmates that several of these were
among the last to leave Paris before
the European war placed an en-
barge on exports from France. rms
statement will, at least, interest the
fair admirers of Mr.. Eltinge, what
ever doubts as to its veracity may
arise in the minds of the discerning.
"The Criholine Girr' affords Mr..
Eltinge the opportunity of leading ms
customary double stage life. In the
first act and one of the later scenes
he appears in his proper person as
lively. extremely masculine and alto
gether lilSable young man. In the
other scenes the exigencies of the
plot REQUIRE him to don feminine at
tire and he is seen in his amazingly
realistic Interpretation of a charming
Young woman There is a, stern and
antagonistic prospective father-in-
law, who announces that he's from
Missouri when it comes to belief
in the earning capacity of the sutton
for his daughters hand and insists
that he shall earn $4,000 unaided by
his rather.
The young man determines to play
detective to obtain a reward of $20,-
900 offered for the arrest of gang or
Jewel thieves who are believed to be
operating in the Swiss resort in
which the scenes of the play are laid.
In the pursuit of the criminals he
dons a feminine disguise, and around
this premise there are said to re-
volve number of highly amusing
and, at times, exciting situations.
A. H Woods, the producer, has
provided the piece with an elaborate
scenic investiture and has surround
ed Mr.. Eltinge with company which
includes among its members Miss
Jeanne Eagles, Miss Lottie Linthi-
cum, Edward CARVE, Herbert Nc
Kenzie, James Spottswood, Joe Smith
Marba and Charles Morrison.
