CLARA KISIBALL YOUNG,
TERPSICHOREAN ARTISJ
Demonstrates Ability at the Pasdme
Theater on Sunday Monday.

Clara Kimball Young who plays the
title role in the vitagraph de luxe edi-
ton of "My Official Wife" which Is
the attraction at the Pastime theater
on Sunday and Monday, is we'll versed
in the terpsichorean art. Further
more, she demonstrates her abilities
along this line in that film play.
During the first part of the picture,
Miss Young is seen as Russian peas
ant girl in the picturesque costume OF
those people and wearing the high
leather boots she does the dance in
vogue with the peasants.
AS the story runs its course she be-
comes a Nihilist owing to the severe
treatment her people receive from the
nobility.
Now wearing a beautiful evening
gown she enters the royal ballroom
with the nobleman who has gained
entree for her. 1t is not the rough
and rowdy peasant dance which she
now enters, but the society steps OF
| the day.
In both instances, however. Miss
Young gives praiseworthy perform
ances and one decides that she is an
artist in the terpsichorean art as well
as the dramatic.
In addition to the above will be a
Krazy Kats comic cartoon for the kid
dies and Mrs. Ethel Livermore will
play special Russian music on the
photoplayer pipe organ.
