song hits in Florenz ZieSfeld's last
''Follies" production. In this merry,
melodius musical comedy the popular
stars are assured the same success
that greeted them in their former We

which gave them. perhaps, the great
est measure of popularity they have
ever known.
Few people fully realize what an at
traction like Lyman H. Howe's Travel
Festival, which comes to the Grand
shortly, with an entire new program
really means. Some regard it almost
as dream journey of childhood days
when trips to legendary lands were
made via the magic carpet. The more
matter-of-fact persons regard it more
for what it really is-a miracle of
science more amazing than Aladdin
could ever conjure up by rubbing his
fairy lamp. 1t is an entertainment
that is distinctly typical of this-the
swiftest epoch of the worlds progress.
With Mr. Howe one can travel a mile
a-second in a mile-a-minute age.
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson
who will be seen in Hamlet at the
Grand shortly, does not believe that
such part as Hamlet can be ade-
quately played every day for a long
run. You feel the effort" he says.
You become feverish and your throat
grows dry" In the old days the great
actors never played every night in the
week, and especially not such a heavy
part as Hamlet They would have
considered it an insult if they had
been asked to act the day after ap-
pearing as Hamlet.
Forbes r Oha,-tsou
played Hamlet for more than eighteen
years. When he first produced the
tragedy at the Lyceum theater in Lon
don in 1897, it scored a run of 100
nights, but as Sir Johnston says be-
fore the end of the run was reached
he was preoccupied with his new pro-
ductOn and the actual performance of
the play took considerably longer
Since that time he has never played
Hamlet more than three times week
and never on consecutive days. He

/ night after a matinee performance,
for Hamlet is a character that makes
equally heavy demands upon the

screen time after time. but Mary
Pickford's appearance in The Eter-
nal Grind which is the feature pic
ture at the LaSalle today. will I'M
questionably be pronounced her
greatest endeavor by public and
critics alike. The plot is a simple
one Of everyday life and there are
big scenes in the film-big in their
gripping power and IN their dra-
matte force. which make IL absorb
ingly interesting from start TO finish
Realistic scenes in one of the sweat
shops OF New York city have been
produced on a large scale and Mary
is the type Of character that wins
our sympathy from the very first
moment that we see her patiently

At THE OLIVER.

There is a subtle magic in the
comedy Of Peg o. Ny Heart" that
can be explained by one word
genius. 1t has the spontaneity Of
careless laughter and sweetness
and charm so often found lacking
in popular comedies. There is
nothing half so sweet i'm life as
loves young dream" says peg O.
Ny Heart and J. Hartley Manners
has sufused his comedy with the
sweetness expressed in the poets
lines.
Peg O. Ny Heart which comes
TO the Oliver this afternoon and to-
night is the story Of beautiful
Irish girl, who is taken into her
aunts family in England TO be
reared under the peculiar provisions
Of an Uncle's viii. She is as natural
as April weather and almost as
wayward with big heart. natural
ways. what her aunt calls "impossi-
bile manners" In the course Of the
drama the charm of her character
grows constantly more luminous
and the characters Of her relatives
cast deeper and deeper into shad-
ows. They are highly cultured but
ineXpressably selfish. If the COM
edy points a moral. it is that at

may exist a decay that spells the
whole fruit. The shafts OF criticism
are not directed against English Gull

peculiar phase-that culture which
culiar phase-that culture which
prides itself on family manners and
cultured minds. while at the same
time worshipping the twin gods
money and self.
Into such a family Peg is ush-
cred by freak Of fortune. She
saves the daughter OF the family
from making the one misstep in life
which society will not condone.
Most certainly there is a love
story in the play and when Peg is
rejected socially by her relatives
She finds a friend in Jerry who is
also a friend Of her aunts family.
Jerry is different from the rest Of
her snobbish acquaintance. through
