most recent picture "The Valentine

only to find him so deeply engrossed
in a gambling game with some con
federates that no attention is PAID
to the little figure waiting at the
door. This is the situation faced
by Marguerite Clark in the role OF
Marian Morgan in THE Valentine
Girl"
Charlie Chaplin in "The Cure" tells
of how he goes TO health resort
where guests are cured OF the liquor
habit. OF course he takes a small
amount OF the stimulant with him
in his trunk Thursday and for the
last half of the week Jack Pickford
and Vivian Martin will be seen as
co-stars in 1.-THE Girl At Home, a
story of youthful folly. saving faith,
and the trust of a girl.
Romances all have II that the
young man says good-by to his
sweetheart at home. trudges up the

Jeanne Hilton wondered what coulS

the advantages she had given him

Christie Macdonald, admired prims

plays. will come to the National Thea
called The Little Missus." Miss Mac
Donald has been so consistently de-
llghtful I'm each of the works she has
appeared in that her temperance on
the stage after an absence of two
seasons seems to be y armly antici-
pated.
There is additional promise OF
pleasure in the announcement that
the book and lyrics of the new work
have been written by 4. E. Thomas.

sons are still in general memory. The

FAVORITE TO sing
/ In LITTLE MISSUS''
Christie Macdonald Opens in
New Musical Show at Ma
tionaI Tomorrow.

Interest in a waning theatrical sea
son has fIared up with the promise
of a brand new Christie Macdonald
musical show, "The Little Missus,
which opens tomorrow night at the
National Theater.
Miss MacDonald is particularly
fortunate in having identified herself
with an attraction that comes with
the highest possible recommends
tions from musical standpoint.
Eisler. the composer. formerly was
with the Metropolitan Grand Opera
forces. The opening in Atlantic City.

spicious:

Norma Talmndge n
Screcu-Trained Product.

Not all Of the screen stars are Gull
cd from the stage. Slowly but surely
a pure screen aristocracy is building
itself.
The career of Norma Talmadge. the
fascinating little star Of THE Law
of Compensation" opening at the
Strand Theatcr today. is an interest =
ing piece of evidence Of the truth Of
this statement. At fourteen. with no
knowledge Of acting. she obtained a
position with the NitaGraph Company:
today at twenty she is one OF the
most popular stars on the screen and
heading her own company.

Of theatrical recruits to the moving
picture has made two things quite
clear. The first is that the stage

WINGED in advance of its limitations
in certain respects. and equally con-
WINGED Of its entire absence of limi-
tatiun in other respects.

An AusplcIous Pedigree

at the National this week be another
Chocolate SOLDIER" 1t has an oppor-
tunity to qualify as bona fide. worthy
light opera. The composer is Paul
Eisler.
For thirteen out of the past fifteen
years Mr.. Eisler has been associate
conductor of the Metropolitan Opera
House forces in New YORK, but for all
his residence in this country and his
afriliation with the heaviest forms If
music Il is told that Mr.. Eisler shares
with Oscar Strauss the reputation for
having supplied a full half Of the one
act and complete operettas OF light
and joyous nature SO frequently pro-
duced in the leading operate centers
Of Europe.
Before he came to America he was
professor of the Royal Imperial
Academy OF Vienna.
From New York Mr.. Eisler sent
across the seas the impressive score
for "lSl4." presented as the FESTIVAL
play; of Vienna on the hundredth an
niversary for the peace congress. and
besides his many short works, two OF
his complete operas, The Sentinel
and Spring Brides" are now being
played in several cities abroad, and
the latter is announced for a hearing
in America next fall.
Like all music OF that French
Viennese school, Il is reported that
THE Little Missus" Is full OF whimsi-
cal twists and unexpected everything
melodies.
1t was necessary to hunt long for
players who could really sing the
score. and even the chorus members
have been taken necessarily from mu-
sic schools and conservatories, and
could not be selected from the usual
list of chorus people.
