FILM FEATURES.
Loew's Columbia.

THE Chorus Lady," with Cleo Ridg-
ley in the role created by Rose Stahl,
is the chief photo-feature of an attrac-
tive program at the Columbia for the
first three days of the week. While
lacking the pungent personality Of Miss
Stahl, and differing somewhat from
the construction of the Forbes play,
the same plot is developed with a de-
tail of environment impossible in the
original drama, owing to Limitation of
stage craft. Miss Ridgley as the low
ing, world-wise woman. who endangers
her own happiness to save her foolish
young sister from the power of an I'M
Scrupulous man, is. by turn materially
protecting and f1irtatious in her efforts:
every phase of her hard, but finally
successful attempts is favored with the
slang which Patricia O'Brien made up
as she went along" and which. ma
turally, loses much of it's voice-value
when lettered on the screen. Margery
Daw, as the willful sister Norah, played
the part with precocious realism sur
prising in an actress but fourteen
years of age. "In the Leopard Coun-
try gave an exciting peep at the dan
gers of jungle life, and a continuation
of Peruvian travels depicted the navi-
cation of river by raft. Fatty S
Fatal Fun" supplied a comic reel and
there was the usual animated cartoon.
The stage setting, with its Japanese
background and floral embellishments,
is remarkably pretty.

B. F. Keith,s.

An exceptionally entertaining pro-
gram, headed by Nora Bayes, is offered
at B. F. Keith's Theater this week
Miss Bayes, wearing new and unique
costumes, appeared more attractive
than ever and was in splendid voice
last evening. She took firm hold on
the favor of the audience the moment
she appeared. and was compelled to re-
spond to encores until finally allowed to
beg off, after announcing that she
simply could not sing any more be-
cause her accompanist had gone home.
Miss Bayes introduced half a dozen
new songs. one of which has not yet
been published. She concluded with a
novel medley. telling of being con-
fronted with the ghosts of all her old
favorites, in connection with which
she sang a line or two from each. She
received an elaborate floral Offering

Invites of a young wife, whose passion
for f1nery leads to her ultimate end,
and whose every want is supplied by
devoted husband. All goes well for
a good while after marriage, just long
enough for the wife to acquire pas
sion for luxury and fine clothes. Then
the husband reveals the fact that for
long time he had been fighting
against disaster, brought about through
unsuccessful business ventures, and
had finally succumbed to the inevitable,
bankruptcy. In order to meet the de-
mands of his creditors the husband is
forced to sell his home and his wife's
jewelry and move into fat The wife
is unable to reconcile herself to the
new conditions brought about by her
husbands ruin and her longing for
what she once had leads her to meet
women Of questionable character. When
the husband discovers the way in
which his wife is procuring money to
keep up social appearances he kills her.
