Mime. Yorska in Jenny"

Nine. Yorska, who is best known
hereabouts by reason of her work with
the French players several seasons ago,
made one of her infrequent English
speaking appearances at the Comedy
Theatre yesterday afternoon in"Jenny,"
a drama by Aleernon Boysen which is
new to this part Of the country. The
performance. which was IN the nature
of "feeler." must have convinced the
theatrical potentates that Nine. Horska
is an actress of great power, but the
play itself is rather conventional
and for the most part shallow tragedy
which would be unlikely to have any
great vogue.
Mr.. Boyscn's theme is the misunder-
stood and unhappy wife. and the final
curtain is runc down on the woman's
insanity. The general effect Of the
piece was not enhanced yesterday by
tho quality Of the performance. al
though exception must be made OF the
work or Nrrc. Yorska and Cecil owen.

On the Screen
Norma Talmadge Seen al
Her Best in Cynthia
Stockley's Poppy.

The characters in Cynthia Stockley's
fascinating story, Poppy" came to
life or the screen at the New York
Theatre yesterday, with Norma Tai
madge playing the title role.
Any one who has read the book will
realize that it had all of the requisites
Of the photo drama-aetion, atmos-
phere. a chance for wonderful ex-
teriors. interesting characters and TO
nance.
As rule, dramatized stories are dis

in selecting the actors to suit the
types that one has to start in and
picture them all over again. II is bet
ter TO 30 with an unhampered mind
But those who liked Poppy" between
the covers Of book will like the story
Just as well on the screen. Miss TAI
madge is excellent as the little South
African waif, her only fault being that
she is TOO pretty-but then she cannot
help that.
Fred Perry was also far less repnl-
sive than one would have fancied ham

wound which SCARED him for life and
made Of him hermit. However, one
can't expect a man to dishgure himself
for life for arts sake.
Eugene O'Brien was satisfactorily
attractive as Carson. the lover. but one
would nave fancied that Mary should
have possessed far more pulchri'ude'
As she was screened, Poppy need not
have seriously considered her as
rival.
The scenario writer has taken few
liberties with Miss Stockley's story, but
one cannot say that they do not add TO
the FEASIBILITY. As the story was writ

idea to have this changed, for she sa,d
that she was sure no audience would
look with favor on Poppy who was

about it, but they do not want TO see
it," she added.
The picture is staged with fine at
+ention To detail that il most pleasing.
The settings, particularly the ekteriors'
are magnificent. and there is not false
note in the whole thing.
From the moment when Poppy, the
little waif. writes on a torn piece OF

until she comes into her own at the

being shown up in our reports, but
when they saw that we played no
favorites they soon felt different. I've
had a department store proprietor who
mad been criticised in our reports ask
me for a formal letter from the AID
Club and a copy OF the honest advertis-
ing law, so that he could hold the
threat over the heads of his buyers, in
case they were tempted TO overstep
again.
Not only. said Secretary Porteriield
of the Indianapolis Club, DO the news
papers Of that city cooperate with the
better business bureau, but a sort of
interview paper cooperation in the
matter Of doubtful newspaper advertis-
ing has been worked out through the
bureau, in this manner: when a new
mercantile or financial advertiser
sends in to one of the papers an adver-
tisement which looks suspicious, or
concerning which the publisher
once notifies the bureau, which COM
municates with the other papers. and
they decline the copy until investigh-
ton has been made.
Newspapers Responsible
The meeting closed with a general
discussion of the responsibility Of the
newspaper for fraudulent or harmful
advertising, inspired by the annual re-
port o. President Houston of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World,
in which the following significant pas
sage occurs: 81 feel it my duty to
call upon all publications TO accept
their own responsibility more square,
~ and more seriously. The old Gym
zeal cry. Let the buyer beware is a
hollow mockery. The time has come
when the Associated Advertising Clubs
are strong enough, and, believe, sou-
rageous enough, TO stop that cry, ans |
urge them here and now and hence
forth TO do it.
Let the National Vigilance Commit
tee. whenever a conviction Is obtained
against q dishonest advertiser, at once
publish the list Of publications that
carried the advertising in spite OF the
committees warnings. Such lists, l
am sure. will find ready circu lation
among honest advertisers, who wish to
spend their money wisely.
LET the Association of National Ad-
vertisers, one of our great depart
ments, 90 forward with the good work
it has already done in separating. the
sheep from the goats among publish
ers, and prepare, in collaboration with
our National Vigilance Committee
white lists of publications that carry
on clean advertising. and distribute
these lists among their members Tor
their information and guidance.
These are ways and means that Will
do must 70 stihe that outworn and
utterly false cry, Let the buyer be
ware and | point them out, not as
casual suggestions, but as definite
recommendations. and urge their i'm
