On the Screen

Why do you not become an actress"
said the Earl of Barchester.
Because it takes years of study to
prepare one for the stage said Nora
Corrigan
"Ah, yes said the earl, but YOU can
go on the screen" And the problem of
Nora's future was solved only we
didn't think they would admit it was so
easy.
This conversation occurred in "Con-
quered Hearts" motion picture which
the Ivan Film Company presented spc-
cially at the Strand Theatre Yesterday.
The story is not nearly so sensational
as it sounds. It IS about two quite re-
spectacle married people, who drift
apart because they are ambitious to
rise, and the conquered hearts belong to
them. They are conquered by their
mutual love and the memories of q
humble part before she had become a
movie star and he lawyer.
Marguerite Marsh plays Nora Cor
rigan. While Miss Marsh lacks en-
tirely the elusive. wistful, almost elfsh
attractiveness of her sister. Mae. She is
sweet and charming girl, with great
deal of beauty
1t was relief after hearing I'M
presarios and artists rave about Nora s
loneliness to see a Young woman who
really could stand and deliver We do
not believe that heroes of the stage or
screen should constantly refer to the
pulchritude of the heroine unless she
has it. Let them say she is young or
kind hearted or something else which
may not be disproved. But perhaps
they believe in the power of suggestion
Harry Myers is the artist who first
discovers Nora's beauty, and we
thought he was going to be the hero
until he took two drinks of something
out of a decanter, straight, then We
knew he was the villain.
He paid Nora $50 a day for posing
too, which We happen to know is away
above the union price.
! There was a Fascinating wicked lady
named Kate Corcoran, who seemed a,
first to be going to have lot to dc
with the picture, but just as one was
becoming interested in her psychology
she dropped out of the running. This
was Just after she had invited Nora te

THE CAST
BY Haywood Broun

Eugene Walters new comedy.
Nancy Lee is thoroughly immoral
play. To De sure, there is nothing to
blush about. but priggish little hypo-
critic is palmed eff as a heroine. There
is something ironic in this, for when
Walter wrote his brilliant and search
ing tract entitled "The Easiest Wav"
rot few persons complained that the
play was indecent merely because it
was plain spoken. These persons will
not speak now, Nancy Lee" is pleas
ant and jostles none of the proprieties
in thought or act. At least, it is ex-
pressly provided that the female char
acters, whatever their other faults, do
not transgress sex morality. They
never descend lower in their efforts to
make living than to cheat and lie
and wheedle. Otherwise they are all
right.
Nancy Lee, the heroine, is one of
the parasites. The prologue explains
that it wasn't her fault. Brought up
in small Southern town, she was
never allowed to NEEDLE with useful
work, and when the family fortunes
came to u low ebb she was forced to
marry. She didn't get good husband
and he wasn't even so rich as ex-
pected. However, he had the deccncy
to die between the prologue and the
first act, in which we find the widowed
Nancy borrowing money from a young
man who steals to make her presents.
His crime comes to her as shock
and when middle-aged man of the
world drives home the lesson by tell
ing Nancy the unpleasant truth about
herself she becomes contrite. At least,

poor heroine while brutal folk in trade

Everything came OFT all right IN the
end. however, for both tradesmen and
heroine. The little cottage in Larch-
mont proved to be only few doors
away from the house of the sophisti
Gated gentleman whose harsh words had
turned her on the road to reform. He
came around often, and finally asked
Nancy Lee if she would marry him
She protested briefly and spoke of her
unpaid bills. but when he said that
would be all right they got engaged
right enough. At least, they Rugged as
the curtain came down, and we believe
mat ceremony is considered binding in
the theatre.
The only honest character in the play
was presentable parasite, who said
that she had always been parasite
and that she intended to go on being
one. Nancy Lee, SO this frank lady
shouted, was every bit as bad as she
was. and she further declared that her
reformation in Larchrnont had been nc
more than plot to catch the eligible
mlddle-aged man of the world. AS a
matter of fact, that was our idea, too
but the playwright would not admit it
He tried to soften the accusation OF
the honest parasite lady by introducing
drinking. To our mind, the rum only

prevail, but we resent it'whenever they
try to palm off spurious heroes anc

in making the part particularly inter

Prices on meat and fish, however,

the trend is upward.
Canned Bean Luxury

has been from 40 per cent to 60 per
cent in the past twelve months. GER
tain brand of canned lima bean, which
may be taken as an example Of most

that a year ago the price was close to 8
cents a pound, that in midwinter it had
reached scarcity price anywhere from
IL to 10 cents, and that it became
controlled product under the authority
OF the food administration, and now
reposes at 9 cents, with no shortage IN
