III plCturiZatiOu OF
"llilam Golfers well-known stage

hoore's strand-~Her Life IN Be.<.-
A cleverly conceived plot, character
oeiineation that holds q mirror up
10 nature" and exceptional photo
sraphic effects distinguish Her Life
In Bond" the sensational photoplsy
feature OF the bill at Moore's Strand
Iheater through Wednesday Of this
week. from other film plays that have
attempted TO reflect faithfully life
as II is behind the scenes. In the
stellar role OF Polly BIondin Mae
Murray finds herself cast in a part
which must be recognized at once as
wholly within the range Of her varied
and highly schooled talents. Polly
was a dancer in musical comedy and
so was Miss Murray. Therefore. the
Characterization Is one in whlc.I there
is no faint Of artihciality.
The story. at times sympatheticsIly
appealing and again rather strenu-
ousfy thrilling, is Of the valiant strug-
gle OF a dancer to supply funds for
the convalescence OF her husband.
who was also her dancing partner,
in the high altitude OF the far West.
Sensing the dificuIty Of her task a
young man Of a class sometimes fat
teringiy described as the idle rich,
devises a scheme to make her ap-
peal to him for money which will be
furnished for a certain price. To
make his plan sure OF success he in
tercepts Polly's mail from the West
and commits other felonies. The or
perfume arrival OF the supposedly dy-
ing husband furnishes q tensely melo-
dramatic scene.
The production Is an eEtravaEantIy
handsome one and the acting OF Miss
Murray, Kenneth Harlan and Albert
Roscoe in the three leading roles Of n
uniformly high order. The bill is
completed by the usual news and
comedy features and appropriate or
chestral accompaniment under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Breeskin.

rigan will be screened in the title role
OF "A Burglar for a Night"

Lyeeum-"FoIIIe. Of Pleasure.

The 1919 edition of The Follies of
Pleasure" Rube Bernstein's latest
proud addition to burlesque. was ex-
hibited TO two big audiences at the
Lyceum Theater in q style altogether
a la Bernstein. The crafty burlesoue
producer has provided a chorus for
this years edition OF the "FoIlies"
that is strong enough to carry the
story of the plotless comedy alone.
The principals are up to the high
standards of former seasons, but this
years chorus has all the earmarks
or an honest-to-goodness humdinger.
Individual talent is found in every
chorister TO a marked degree. The
decided hit of the show with yester-
days audiences was the girls sre-
ctalty. when encores enabled every
girl to show what she could do in the
musical line. Babe Laporte and Mary
Brandon will not soon be forgotten
by those who witnessed yesterdays
opening performances.
Clyde Bates heads the cast OF prin-
cipals In an inimitably funny tramp
role. Jim McGrath and Tom Nc
kenna were good foils. Violet Hu-
son. Gene Wakefield and Mae Mills
were the feminine satellites. This
years Bernstein offering is In two
acts and six scenes.
