of Dead Mans Hill which formed n
supporting point of the French left

At SPENCER SQUARE,

In The Red Widow" thoroughly
amusing photo production of the cele-
brated comedy by Claiming Pollock
and Rennold Wolf, it is claimed John
Barrymore possesses the greatest op-
pOrtunity he has ever had since becom-
ing a photo-play star for demonstrat-
ing beyond all doubt his right to be
called one of the foremost comedians
of the screen today. In the role of
Cicero Hannibal Butts, the distin-
guished corset salesman, who seeks to
combine his honeymoon and a bust
ness trip to Russia, and who as result
finds himself inextricably caught in a
number of comic predicaments involv-
ing the Russian secret police and in
Vulnerable Nihilists, including the
fascinating Red Widow, to whom he is
introduced as the greatest living king
killer, John Barrymore is screamingly
humorous in the depletion of his mis-
cries and his futile efforts to clear him
self in the eyes of the government and
more principally his wife, who herself
believes that Butts has deserted her for
the Red Widow. How these humorous
difficulties are at last explained is I'M
folded in the final scene of this spark

The last baseball game OF the sea-
son played on the local college field
yesterday afternoon may we'll be said
to have been the best one The game
was replete with thrills and with ex-
hibitions Of the very best brand of
baseball playing. An unusually large
crowd gathered to witness the en-
counter. From the beginning it was
nip and tuck for supremacy, each
team playing almost perfectly. 1t was
not until the third lap of the game
that the first score was counted, by
st. Ambrose. The game proceeded
until Vashti's eighth bat, with no more
tallies or even dangerous situations
on the part of either team. In this in
ming the Vashti boys were able to
score on a walk and twobase hit by
Day. 1t looked for a time as though
the locals would score a second time
in this inning, but the succeeding bat
ters were easy for Wood, the whirl-
wind pitcher for the st. Ambrosians.
With three men on in the next inning
and none down, Overlook, doing the
f1inging for Nashti, struck two men
out in quick succession. 1t looked as
though he had succeeded in pulling
himself out of the most dangerous
place, when Shorty, one of the River
boys, popped the first ball pitched
over the first baseman, resulting in
two scores being pushed across. The
locals were unable to score in their
last time at bat, and the game ended
with St. Ambrose a to l winner.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Stage settings OF real lumber are be-
ing used in many of the scenes of "Glo-
ria's Romance" the big motion picture
novel featuring Billie Burke, which
Manager Quinn of the Majestic theatre
is offering his patrons tonight. The
director found that the use of actual
lumber instead of mere compo-board,
covered with wall paper, such as is or
dinarily used in picture studios, would
give much better Photographic effects
for the shadows are genuine and an
opportunity is afforded for matching all
interior decorations perfectly. The
story of 'Gloria's Romance begins al
fashionable Palm Beach. Florida, and
the full company spent more than
three weeks at that aristocratic resort
in getting the scenes in which appear
many notables of the world of fashion,
who thought it a great lark to WORK
before motion picture camera.

Let rs Hope the Time Comes Soon.

Those who like motion pictures best
look forward to the time when there
will be fewer film plays and more
thought given to those which are pro-
duced.
Then perhaps there will be fewer
vampires, which character is as crude
and uninspired as the old conventional
stereotyped adventures of the old-time
melodrama
Then, fewer drawing room tables in
movies will have a revolver lying
ready in the top drawer.
For, after all, not every family Of
wealth has revolver in the top drawer
of the library or drawing room table,
all ready for the tragedy.
AS it is now, we know just what will
happen when someone in the movie re-
ceives an discriminating letter. He or
she is going to drop it on the rug, and
in the next scene someone else is 60
ing to pick it up and use it to the I'M
doing of the writer or the person who
received it, or both.
Some day when more time and
thought and talent are devoted to PIC
lures We may get little variety, for
the possibilities are unlimited.
Life is full of many things, yet every
movie actress who is small enough is
made to impersonate a street child and
dance in pathetic lightness of heart to
the music of hand organ. Once, years
ago, some real child may have danced
to the music of hand organ, but it is
possible to overdo even an incident so
picturesque as this.
