The new piece is French lingerie
marital farce, which plunges its char
acters into the expected unexpected
situations. The plot Is based upon the
necessity of passing somebody on as
somebody's wife in order to deceive a
relative-a brother, in this instance,
instead of the conventional uncle-and
there is a deal of noise and rushing
around. The piece is being presented

An Alabaster Box" Well
Suited to Talents Of Beauti-
full Alice Joyce

IAN Alabaster Box" which was shown
yesterday in the Vitagraph projection
room, is the vessel of Biblical fame
which was supposed to contain the
ointment of human kindness and char
ity.
This vessel was in the hands of
Alice Joyce yesterday, and Miss Joyce
dispensed not only charity and kind
ness. but many other things. The role
OF Lydia Carr is especially suited TO
Miss Joyce's sweetness, and at no time
was she called upon TO rise TO heights
which she was unable to attain.
Miss Joyce is not an emotional ac-
tress; she shines in passive roles which
do not disturb the placidity of her
beauty-and she is beautiful
She is extremely pleasing as the GUS
todian OF the alabaster box. and one
felt no lack of sincerity in her work.

performance in America, nineteen years

with youthful fervor and youthful voice.

was Manuel Salazar and the Tonic
Angelo Antola. Both these artists pos
sess powerful voices, of rich timbre,
and evident dramatic sense. The thun-

logue and the "Vesti la Giubba' was
well earned. Both Mr. Salazar and Mr..

future. Miss Louise Darclee, who sang
Media, revealed voice of beautiful
quality, which neqds further cultiva-

was sincere and vocally excellent, de-
