At the Fifth Avenue.

In Shirley Kaye" which will be
shown at the Fifth avenue theatre
tonight, Clare Kimball Young dis
plays her versatility by creating a
role different from the prosecuted
women she has portrayed SO often
in the past. In this picture, from
the successful play of the same
name which is directed by Joseph
kaufman, Miss Young acts the role
of Shirley, the vivacious daughter
of Edgerton Kaye, president of the
great Union Central railroad. He
holds his position through his de-
scent from Pirate" Kaye who
founded the line. rather than
through any executive ability of
his own. T J. Magen, the brusque
financier from the west, ably de-
lineated by George Fawcett, has
bought the house next door to the

heart, he tells his daughter of the
impending blow-she rises to the
situation and how she plays the
society game, combining it with
high finance to save the family for
tunes, is a stirring tale. At the
same time she finally wins the love
OF John Rowson, which brings into
the story Of American business and
social life an absorbing thread OF
heart interest.

was picked out by a clever young
girl who wished to gain the good
will of the old man-her uncle. The
bright young woman is played by

knowing the vulnerable sport Of
her grOuchy old relative, this
young southern girl showed Il
woman's keen intuition when she
chose the Kitchen route" as the
way of reaching his heart. That
she gained her ends goes without
saying when it is told that she
knew how to cook in the approved
old southern style. May Allison
plays the part Of the girl to per

AS the result Of the repetition by
the Western School Of Expression,
the A. c. Cadet band and other as
sistants Of the patriotic entertain
ment Behind the Lines" at the. Orph-
cum last Friday, the net sum of 1925

High Praise For
Apollo SoloiSt

Chicago critics speak in glowing
terms Of Mrs. Ethel Geistweit Bene-
dict, the dramatic soprano of that
city who is to be solOist with the
Apollo club of Fargo at its annual
concert March 13 at the Orpheum.
The Chicago American said recently
Of this prominent singer:
Mrs. Benedict is an artist and a
thorough musician. with an ideal that
is lofty and a medium that, while be-
ing a voice of excellent quality, is
constantly enhanced by her
spontaneous, artistic conceptions, the
outcome of temperament and
sincere point of view that is too often
lacking in the mere striving for eff
fects. Few artists claiming front
rank have been able to give the sus-
tanned mezzo vOce tone with such
satisfaction and at the same time,
such heartfelt feeling that Mrs. Bene-
dict put into her aria here last even
ing. Brilliancy of resonant quality
was always there, together with an
enunciation that was at once pure
English, we'll formed and properly
emphasized. There are few artists Of
Mrs. Benedict's calibTe."

length, and business matters that
