to suit almost any taste may be found on
the bill, which is one of the best in many
weeks
II you're fond of the artistic you would
probably agree that Joan Sawyer, in her
modern dances and Ray Eleanor Ball were
the best Of this weeks aggregation.
But II laughter and applause are any
criterion then the Watson Sisters were
the pacemakers for the entire show. Miss
Sawyer, with an abundance Of artistic en-
vironment and several exclusive musicians
whlrled through four or five numbers in
as many gowns. She was plloted by George
Harcourt much after the fashion that sew.
eral other acts in vaudeville do about the
same thing. Authorities on terpsichorean
assets may say that Miss Sawyer is better
than her competitors in this line, but 1t
seems difficult to draw any line. Miss
Sawyer had a very pleasing personality, and

are all that could be desired

melodrama is invoked amid such sur
roundings, but there is usually a laugh
close to the thrills of each exciting situa-

figure. but in this screen drama his assumed
greenness is only a bit of detective work

ARCADIA-c''Jaek and the Peanstalk," with
Adapted from the fairy story by Mary Murila.
Directed by c. NJ. and S. A. Franklin. Fox
MEN are but children of a larger growth,
and the thanks of many adults as well as
youngsters should be extended to William
Fox for giving to the photoplay screen this
first of a series of films for children This
picture has an appeal that is unconcerned
with age tables. Large audiences beheld
it with enthusiasm yesterday.
The story adheres to the fairy tale of the
boy and the magic beanstalk, and the value
of the motion picture was never more
clearly brought out than in this fairy story
set forth by the shadowy rapidly moving
figures on the screen The simplicity with
which the legend is unfolded makes it
easily understood by the smallest child
There is another fairy story-"Aladdin and
His Wonderful Lamp"-now completed for
release by this same company. The same
children appear in 1t as in Jack" They
are actors of kind rarely seen upon our
screens, for never once are they camera
conscious. They execute their tasks in an
artistic fashion that many an older player
might envy. A tribute to the Franklin
brothers could be no greater than this
proof of their patience and thorough un-
derstanding Of the handling Of these many
children.
The story has a modern touch in the
opening and closing, in which II shows two
kiddies seeking the enchanted forest where
the giant is supposed to live. They fall
asleep. and their dream shows the fairy

although occasionally not all of the rich
