Marguerite clark in Child Role.

THE Valentine Girl" a Paramount
release at the Nelson today, has a
mere thread Of plot which serves as
an excuse for series of pretty scenes
featuring Marguerite Clark in her most
artless and chiIdlike moods. In the
first half of the picture she plays a
little girl Of twelve and looks and acts
the part with astonishing skill and nat
uralness. This engaging child is the
one guileess figure in luxurious gam
bling house of which ner rather is the
head. Because the children next door
refuse to play with her she invents
playmates for herself out of the pages
of her history book and gravely poses
as every imaginable character from
Queen Elizabeth to Joan of Arc. After
her fathers arrest and imprisonment
she is adopted by a Clergyman's family
and grows to womanhood in the shad'
ow OF the village church, where she
meets again her childhood sweetheart
and concludes the story in pretty TO.
nance.
Richard Barthelmess as the boy
sweetheart is an unusual and attractive
type, perfectly adapted to Marguerite
Clark's coyly ingenious manner A
raid on the gambling house and res
cue from shipwreck in a picturesque
beach scene serve to speed up the story.
The valentine" idea is woven through
the entire play with an appropriate &C.
compartment of candy hearts, forget
me-nots and other sentimental SYM
bols.
The many admirers of Marguerite
Clarke will find her most child-like
qualities brought out in this little
play against a dainty and sentimental
background. In the supporting cast
are: Frank Losee, Richard Barthel-
mess, Katherine Adams, Maggie Hollo-
way Fisher, Adolph Menjon and Edith
Campbell Walker.

Excellent SHOW at Hipp.

Wien Zarrow's American GiPl Com
pany played "Folies OF Day i'll this
city in the latter part Of the winter
season we were moved to type a
lengthy and highly commendatory re-
view 1t was at that time, in our opin'
ion, the classiest presentation of a
short form musical comedy skit we had
ever seen at the Hippodrome. After
viewing last nights performance by
the same company with only slight
changes in the principal roles, we re-
affirm our previously recorded opinion
1t is a good, clean show with much
class. Harold ellis is perfectly at
hons in the black face part which Ray
moud Lewis essayed in the first show
!! ing. His dancing is excellent and his
comedy is exhilirating. Murrell Os'
borne is extremely funny in his telling
of his experiences to "Jassbo." The
typehe assumes is known to the vaude'
vile stage as "a dope" But 1t does
not fall to the level Of much of this
sort of character acting. His make
up, wardrobe and manneriSms are in
themselves examples of art. There are
number of good specialties introduce
ed by other members of the company
and the ginger chorus dresses, dances
and sings splendidly.
"Follies of Day" has a medley of
catchy music in which the Company's
own musical director, Mr. Manning,
plays a conspicuous part. One of the
impressive features of the whole show
is Its manner of closing. 1t Is pleas
ing innovation to see everyone in the
audience remain seated until after the
final curtain. 1t is a habit of tab shows
to close with a grand ensemble" and
the majority of habitues begin scram'
BILE for the exits as soon as they see the
finish coming. The old order changeth
in this bill. 1t doesn't wind up that
way. Instead 1t closes in a decidedly
novel manner. 1t fades away, much
like the fade-out Of the picture on the
screen.
The same program will be repeated
tonight.

Prohibition Play at Princess.

THE Girl Glory" at the Princess to-
day, is a prohibition play, which man
ages to be pleasant in spite Of its seri'
GUS theme. 1t is prettily introduced
by the old fable Of the duck who, when
a flood came, drank up all the water
in order to save the other ducks and
then presents to us a heroine who rids
her grandfather Of the liquor habit by
similar method. There is plenty OF
humor but a great deal more pathos
in the child experimenting with the

"in It" that has such a fatal attraction

BIRTH CONTROL GETS 4 BOOST
Birth control was given a boost
today when the Citizens Committee
on Family Limitation urged that par
ents be urged to learn how to keep
down the size of the family to bal
ance with their incomes. A state
ment from the committee follows in
part:
eve believe that the privilege of
having children carries with it re-
sponsibility for the happiness and
welfare of each child.
Eve contend, however, that it is
inconsistent to preach the impor-
lance of healthy, well developed fam
lilies to parents who are denied the
knowledge whereby they can deter
mine the size of the family for which
they are to care.
"Au too frequently, as a result Of
parental ignorance or helplessness,
undesired children are born to i'll
health and misery, or are destroyed
before birth by parents who feel
themselves driven in desperation to
this terrible recourse.

tions, real or fancied, and to general
misunderstanding as well, the knOwl-
