At the Theatres

''The Cinderella Man" will be the
attraction at the Majestic tonight.
Needless to say the foundation for
this whimsical, fascinating story,
which as play was one the seasons
big hits on Broadway, is the old fairy
tale of Cinderella and the Magic Slip
per- Only Edward Childs Carpenter,
the author, has made the hero, instead
of the heroine, the victim of poverty
and neglect. The way the rich little
girl makes things bright and comfy
for the poor, neglected poet in his gar
ret under the caves, is sure to win
your hearty sympathy. Mae Marsh,
the girl Of thousand faces" is right

In Ghosts of Yesterday" the Select
Star Series photodrama which will be
shown at the Classic tonight, Norma
Talmadge rises to really great heights
OF emotional acting in the portrayal of
the two parts which fall to her in that
production. Dual personality roles are
rare because Of the high artistry they
call for, but in this picture Miss Tai
madge verifies the praiseful verdicts
her performances have always brought
forth. First as Ruth Grahame, the
poor little seamstress, and later as
Jeanne La Fleur, the wanton Bal Ia
bian cabaret singer, she delineates
both characters with remarkable fl
deity.
The COnqueror" at the Classic on
Thursday and Friday is unique in ev-
cry respect. 1t invades a new field of
story 1t uses the old South for it's
background, and it deals with people
who actually existed and have left
their imprint on the history of the ma
ton. 1t represents a combination of
great star, great director, and great
cast. William Farnum's name is en-
ough to carry any production R. A

for this work, though he also assisted
in the Red Cross drive. His eloquent

the Opelousas and Eunice meetings
were quite large. Professor Prescott
spoke at most of the places where or
