At the Hippodrome.


The Pretenders, a Metro wonder
play in FIVE interesting parts, with
charming and gifted Emmy Wehlen
in the stellar role, is the big feature
attraction at the Hippodrome theatre
tonight. This story was written for
Miss Wehlen by Charming Pollock
and Rennold Wolf, two of Americas
foremost playwrights. and 1t Is easily
the best vehicle ever provided for
her, either on the stage or in the sill
ent drama. Miss Wehlen will be re-
membered by motion picture patrons
as the star in When a Woman Loves
and Her Reckoning, or Tables Turned,
two notable Metro productions. She
came to this country from England at
the head of the London Gaiety COM
pany, appearing in "Tonight's the
Night" She also was starred in The
Dollar Princess, The Merry Widow,
and other big musical productions
with the famous Gaiety company.
The story of The Pretenders deals
with a family living in the middle
west who join the newly rich element
after oil is found on their farm land.
They come to New York, where they
try to break into society and position
by marrying their daughter to an
English earl. This theme is handled
in a new and refreshing manner, and
affords splendid opportunity to pre-
sent the contrast of life between the
real people Of the middle west and
the counterfeit social set in and
around New York.
Miss Ada Field of this city is fea-
tured in one of her artistic dances in
The Pretenders.
In addition to The Pretenders. will
be shown Sidney Drew comedy en-
titled His Rival. Be sure to see this
splendid program.
Earle Williams, the handsome and
popular movie favorite, comes here
tomorrow in The Masked Ball, a high
" sensational society drama. On the
same program will be seen beautiful
