n LIVER Morosco is sending
Charlotte Greenwood and the
- New York company and pro-
duction Of $50 Long Lefty" to the
Boyd's for three nights beginning
Thursday, December II. Miss
Greenwood has won the reputation
OF being the champion gloom de-
stroyer and smile producer on the
American stage. The play is full
OF sparkle, novelty and laughs. 1t
Is written AROUND two abandoned
street cars fitted up as cottages on
the shores of a California town.
Lefty and Tommy Robbins inhabit
one, and Grace and Harry Miller
the other.
Lefty Robbins prefers dancing
and the gay life to keeping house,
while Tommy likes to trim the lawn
and putter in the garden and yearns
for square meal that he never gets.
Grace Miller is good cook, and
she first appears mixing bread, while
bemoaning the absence of her
harum-scarum husband, Harry, who
doesn't appreciate her homely quail
ties. Each husband discovers the
other flirting with his wife. They
take It as good friends, bewail their
Nismated condition and finally hit
OF scheme of trading wives. The
girls are Mortified at the suggestion
at first, but on Letty's advice, agree
to try it for week. This shocks
the boys, but having made the bluff,
they decide to carry it through, then
the real fun begins and there is
plenty of it.. Lefty soon makes
Harry long for his stout and home
loving Grace, and Tommy would
give worlds to go back to his ath-
ietic Lefty. At the end of the trial
week the husbands have had enough
of it and the wives rejoice in their
victory.
Charlotte Greenwood, the star of
the performance, has created a SEN
sation everywhere she has appeared
as Lefty Robbins. Mr.. Morosco
has surrounded her with a typical
Moroseo cast among whom are Eu-
nice Burnham, Jack Pollard, Hobart
Cavanaugh, Henrietta Lee, Halle
Manning, Cyril Ring, Emily Stead,
Chad Huber, Robert Galley and a
chorus Of stunning girls from Cali
,fornia.
Seeing "Hearts Of the World" for
the second time brings out still fur
Their the marvellous skill that D. w.
Griffith employed to weave together
so colossal a subject as that EN-
ployed in the story 1t is>a great
thrill from the very first scene until
the last. Under its spell war stands
out clearly as sublime undertaking
when waged in just cause.-The
darkest of all crimes when waged
needsssly and in the manner the
Huns employed. There is no grue-
someness to the picture, instead it
glorifes death in so noble a cause.
To miss seeing Hearts of the
World" would be like playing Rip
Van Wrinkle and sleeping during the
present anxious years when the best
pages of history are being written.
