AT THE THEATRE
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt.

That it was Sarah Bernhardt
should be sufficient, but in playing
before her first Pensacola audience,
without the glorious tradition that
renders her present performance
more glorious, she labored, perhaps,
under the shadow of a difficulty
To those who knew the Bernhardt
of old, it must have enriched the
memories, but to her newer admirers,
there is lacking that brilliant fire and
energy that electrified all her former
work, and is now approached only in
the thrilling climaxes of her roper
toire.
In isolated scenes she reached the
height of her art, but the action lead
ing to them in rather slow, though
in some cases this but serves t.
heighten the effect of the close.
Of the three roles in her repertoire
La Mort de Cleopatra, was perhap:
the most splendid. and revealed the
subtle artistry which has placed the
great tragedienne in the forefront.
An American audience, however, il
stirred to its depths in Du Theatre al
Champ D'Honneur, for in it, Nine
Bernhard seems the soul of France
IMPLYING the unyielding and uncon
quered spirit and indomitable cour
age of a great nation.
At the close of La Mort de Cleo
patra, Prof. H. Clay Armstrong pre-
sented, con behalf of the city of Pen
sacola, in admiration of the dis
tinguished visitor" handsom
potted plant, which Nine Bernhard
accepted, bowling her thanks to tn
audience, and its spokesman.

.'The Primitive Call"

There's one fact of great interest
about Betty Malcolm,-she gets what
she wants. That is the secret which
makes her successful in the new Will
liam Fox film, "The Primitive Call, )"
showing at the Isis tomorrow. She is
used to having her own way; she is
used to doing as she likes; therefore
she cannot brook interference of any
kind in the plan that. she wants to
see carried out.
Gladys Coburn plays the part of
Betty. The story begins when she
meets Brain Elkhorn, an Indian
Fritz Leiber), at reception. Brains
father, Chief Elkhorn, is carrying or
negotiations with Betty's father, Johr
Malcolm (Lewis Sealy), through the
white mans agent in the west, Bar
Jennings John Webb Dillon.
At the reception, Brain sees one O
the guests substitute a paste neck
lace for the diamond one that Bett.
wears, and he forces the man to Civ
up his prize. When he retrlsns tn
real necklace to Betty without ex
PLANTATION, she thinks that he ha'
taken the ornament.

Happy Old Age.

When old age carries with it hosts
of friends, good health and an
abundance of this worlds goods, it
should be as happy as any period of
our existence. That is old age as it
should be, but too often it means poor
digestion, torpid bowels, sluggish
liver and a general feeling of i'll
health, dependency and misery. This
condition can be greatly alleviated.
however, by taking one of Chamber
lain's Tablets each day Immediately
after supper. That viii strengthen
the digestion, tone up the liver and
regulate the bowels, then that feeling
of dependency will give way to one
of hope and good cheer. Obtainable

William Desmond, as clergyman

drama, "a Gamble in Souls" which
shows at the Isis Monday, breaches
the doctrine of turning the other
cheek, and when big husky wallops
him in the jaw he makes good by
turning the other and going down

picture irked Bill exceedingly. He is

the last he wanted to play.

Alice Joyce Wears Birthday Gift il
Film at Bonita.

During the filming of "Whom the
Gods Destroy" the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon Feature, starring Alice Joyce
Harry T. Morey and Marc MacDer-
mott, which is the attraction at the
Bonita theatre on Tuesday, Miss
Joyce came into a scene with beau
tiful silk afternoon bag of many har-
monious colors hanging from her
wrist.
Amidst a series of "Ohs" and
"Ahs," the little star explained that
it was birthday gift from her actor
husband, Tom Moore. At first she
did not intend using it in the scene
but it was in good keeping with her
costume Sc her fellow players urged
her to retain it.
It is a beautiful thing and one
would wonder whether the husband
chose it himself if Miss Joyce did moi
declare that his taste in such matters
is excellent.
Nevertheless the gift finds it's place
in this feature from the pens of ]
Stuart Blackton and Cyrus Townsend
Brady, which was directed by Will
liam P. S. Earle. and which is Miss
Joyce's first release since her yeal
and a half retirement.

glanced hastily around. Her trem-

on top OF basket and were drawn
back under the shawl again. For

moving as If in appeal or prayer, then
she went on.

Not ten feet away stood big patrol
