There are hve pretty primas and

Characteristic songs and dances Of
the dashing senoritas of old Seville.
The native costumes rich and lacy,
and correct atmosphere" combined
with the scenery is typically Castil-
liam. Senior A Bilboa, the only male
dancer in the company, Is a class by
himself The lifting music enthral-
ling chances and alluring smiles Of
the senoritas cast a spell over the
first-nighters. Heading the cast are
Luisita Puchol, DOloretes, Mazan-
tinila, Carmen Lopez and the Mari
JUL sisters. Especially delightful
was the song LAY, Que Ricow by
Miss Puchol and ChOnis. At the con-
clusion Of the act roses were show
cred on the stage by admirers from
one OF the boxes.
Bert Clark assisted by Mabel Ham
ilton with few clothes and French

Pauline Frederick. in Her Final
Reckoning" at LOew's Columbia for
the first half OF the week through
Wednesday, could not be more ad-
mirably cast than in the dark-eyed
gypsy role OF Marsa.
The story OF the plot revolves
around the adventures OF Marsa. half
breed gypsy, who is not the member
OF any nomadic band. Her mother
had been a follower OF the open road,
but was abducted by a Hungarian
prince, and AIarsa had been brought
up in the heart OF luxury and lived
among the cosmopolitan peoples and
the bright lights OF Paris.
There she met Prince ZiIah, Hun
garian nObleman, and on the day that
she became his bride from out OF
her past appeared the packet OF let
tiers she wrote to Count MenkO. There
are many complications TO this story
OF intrigue and Partisan life, includ-
ing a thrilling battle between Count
henkO and a pack OF dogs which
patrolled the garden Of the gypsy
princess.
Special music adds much to the ef-
fectiveness OF the photoplay, and the
gowns OF the feminine members OF
the cast and the elaborate settings
are Of high artistic taste.
The Hearst-Pathe News review OF
world happenings and several come
dies. including a Billie Rhodes farce
are the supplementary films.
