'ARIST0CRACY

'Aristocracy" continues to pull big
crowds to Ye Liberty theater despite
the many other good attractions in
the city. 1t is not to be wondered at,
for this picture has aroused endless
comment in Europe and America. 1t
is one Of those gripping plays that
hold an audience to the last moment.
Edna Mayo and Tyrone Power, who
are featured in the cast, are fitted for
their respective parts, and the whole
drama, intended to work out the tan
gle of two young lovers, is in reality
fight for social supremacy, exposing
the snobbishnessr,. of Knickerbocker
society, and its moral is excellent.
"The Million Dollar Mystery" is
growing more exciting, and the four
teenth episode, Tracked by the Sc
cret Service" is q thriller.
