Belasco-"Peace ana auiet.p

The last of the series OF summer pre-
.uieres at the Belasco Theater brought
tout a large audience last night and. what
with the novelty of the comedy. the re-
narkable timeliness Of its political sub
ject matter and the presence OF the Presi-
dent of the United States. proved to be
something of a gala occasion. In Peace
and Quiet" Edwin Milton Royle, author
Of The Squaw Man." seizes with a bold
but not too serious grasp the peculiarities
OF the Mexican border situation as stun
for lightsome entertainment. He dis
closes no particular partisan or political
views. and therefore gives ofrense to no
: one. Announcing the play aptly as a
"melodramatic farce" he takes his au-
dience on more or less frivolous excur-
sion among the border realities, with an
abundance Of hilarities and a few old
fashioned thrills for refreshment
There are many lines with a sharp
satiricaI turn, some aimed at political
foibles some at the feminists and pa
tCifists, others at flamboyant express
tsions of patriotism. The persons of
the play include several admirable
caricatures drawn on farciCal lines
and others that shadow forth with
judiciOus dignity certain actual per-
sonages of current history. Even the
President himself takes part in the
conversation. but as he has the invist
BILE and inaudible end of the telephone
connection there is no cause for en-
barrassment. The story is original and
striking. and with the wearing away
of angularities and the adjustment of
n1a
is bound to prove an effective and
popular entertainment.
The central figure of the comedy is
Thaddeus Castleman, 4 young sCape-
grace, whose ingratiating huenCy. impec-
cable effrontery, and moral sentimental
ity varnish over his bad record and
character and render him acceptable a
hero OF the farce. II is all very well for
the president, who remembers him from
Princeton days and for the heroine, who
will believe in him always to hold i'm

brand Of burlesque than the average bur

STAGE Director Harry Rogers has ar
ranged the second part of the show en-
titled Fun in a Schoolroom," to give
quite a few Of his chorus girls an cp-
pcrtunity to display their talents indi-
yidually with a very pleasing result.
Harry Rogers, as the schoolmaster,
leads in the funmaking in his endeavor
to teach the three RS and a few other
subjects to his large class of rather badly
behaved young ladies. The three male
members OF his class. Bert Leggett. as
Berdi Sunfiower: Harry lie Van. as Issy
Cohen. and Rags Murphy. as Patsy
Branigan. manage to irritate the teacher
sufficiently to keep the house laughing
throughout the act, beside doing a little
singing and dancing as part of the days
work in school.
Many new musical numbers are intro
duced, and a German singing lesson stunt
that proves quite pleasing.

feminine role as the bad girl Of the

CrandaII's- Films,

Alice Brady, star of the opera and
stage, is the featured player in La
Vie de Boheme." a photoplay adapta-
ton from Murgers famous French
book of that name. which was the at
traction at Crandalls yesterday and
is being repeated today. It Is an
unusual production and unusually well
produced. In the character of Mimi.
Miss Brady is seen at her best, giving
to the role a wealth of emotional in
depreciation. From scenic stand
point. it is we'll nigh perfect, bearing
evidence of careful thought and study
of the era in which the action is sup
posed to transpire. The sparkling es-
sence of the true Bohemian life seems
to have been caught by the director
and trasferred to the screen in a
thoroughly convincing manner.
The cast appearing in support Of
Miss Brady is large and capable and
includes such screen celebrities as
Paul Capellani, June Elvidge. Zena
Keefe, Leslie Stowe and chester Bar
nett. The feature for tomorrow,
Thursday and Friday is East Lynne"
a photoplay version OF the famous old
drama of the same name. The lead

The big double bill at Loew's Columbia
this week Is one OF the most plea ng
shows that has been presented at that
popular theater in a long time. The two
feature shows comprising the double bill
are The Clown in which Victor Moore
the noted comedian, plays the title role.
and The Fireman" in which Charlie
Chaplin is the leading attraction. The
former Is a story OF circus life into which
is interviewer a charming romance that
brings to light the big noble -heartedness
Of the clown, who is the idol OF all the
children, and risks his life to save one Of
his little admirers. later sacrificing his
career to protect the honor of another.
Cahrlie Chaplin is the same "Cholly''
In The Fireman" His excentric slide
down the creased pole, his rescue OF the
captains sweetheart, and his funny
capers around the engine house and at
the fire are his principal laugh-provok-
ers. On the whole the picture is up 10
the usual Chaplin order of fun and is
heartily enjoyed by the audience.
The usual Drew comedy and travel pic

Rheumatism cannot live long in a

poisons with which every rheumatic
body is filled, arise in the kidneys, or
stomach or blood. This poison goes

The second act Is laid in the plaza OF
a Mexican border town.. The smuggling
expedition has come to disaster, and a
handsome and dignified Mexican general
is plotting to capture the American Cul-
prits and bring about a spectacular eN-
pose OF their hypocrisy. The hero is near

Buck arrives and carries away the pris-
oners himself just because they are
Americans. The climax of this scene,
when the Americans escape under the
protection OF the nag, which the MeXi-

tUnity for melodramatic effect, which,
however. will need adroit manag agement to
appear at all plausible.
