Loew's Columbin-WiiIiam 6. Hart
In .'The Poppy Girls Husband"

William S. Hart unquestionably has
one of the most virile roles of his
entire screen career in "The Poppy
Girls Husband" a story of the San
Francisco slums and of the peaceful
hills-a story which is the chief film
attraction at Loew's Columbia Thea
ter for the first four days of this week.
The production is one which calls for
possibly the most tense dramatic ac-
ton Hart has ever brought to the
screen. and the savage motif of the
production itself is relieved later on
by switch TO the solitude of the
mountains
Hart Is pictured in the role Of Hair
pin Harry Dutton. a denizen of the
San Francisco slums. who wins as his
bride beautiful but faithless woman,
the poppy girl. His bride won from
him by n politician. Dutton is sent to
the penitentiary on trumped-up
charge. When his release comes he
sets forth on a. career of vengeance
only to be checked midway by the
plaintive voice of a child. who proves
to be his own son. Shocked by his
own madness, the former convict Is
thrilled at the confidence of the child
and rather than carry out his m,sder-

but he is accorded the best of support

Crandalrs Snvoy-"Breed of Men"

In Breed of Men" William S.
Hart renders Characterization
that will still further endear him to
his ever increasing multitude of ad-
mlrers. This picture was shown at
Crandalrs Savoy yesterday and is
also being held over as tonights
attraction. Hart's role is that of
Careless" Carmody, boss cowpunch-
er on an Arizona ranch. who earns
his nickname as a result OF his
fearlessness and utter indifference
to danger. Carmody drifts into the
town of Chloride. owned and con-
trolled by Wesley B. Prentice. land
shark from Chicago. who is foisting
land upon which he has no clear
title on unsuspecting settlers.
Among these is a young woman,
Ruth Fellows. who with her brother
is farming on a section, not sus-
pecting that the land in which her
last penny has been invested, was
illegally sold to her by Prentice.
Becoming interested in the girl,
Carmody learns of the deception of
which she has been made a vic
tim. In the meantime Prentice goes
East and Carmody follows in close
pursuit. The chase takes him to
Chicago, where in Prentice's man
sion on the lake front takes place
an exciting scene. as result OF
which the swindler is made to dis
gorge. OF course the budding love
affair between Carmody and Ruth
results in their union and the pic
ture comes to the conventional and
romantic ending. Seena Owen por-
trays the principal feminine role.

BeIasco-Alma Tell In eyes OF
Youth

New York placed its seal of ap-
proYal on the Eyes of Youth" in a
box office manner that kept it one
year on Broadway. For many. that
cosmopolitan and practical opinion
is enough to recommend it, but to
those who might still be skeptical,
it can be added that a large audi
ence at the Belasco Theater last
night found a play and a star that
offered delightful entertainment.
While playwrights before have
found crystal gazing and the revela =
tions that come from concentrated
attention upon the glass ball of the
mystic Hindu a theme for their ac-
tivities, in this drama credited to
Max Mercin and Charles Guernon,
new treatment is attempted with
transitions from the present to the
future so skillfuIly done that the
spiritual atmosphere Is only incl
dental.
Miss Alma Tell dominates the entire
three acts. She is so constantly and
pleasingly present from the opening
curtain that the impression is that the
play was conceived to fit her talents
and not she selected to fit a part.
AS Gina Ashling she is privileged to
crystal globe. Four paths are open to
her choice: an operate career minus
romance but promising financially
the more conventional and quiet life OF
a country school teacher: marriage to
financial advantage without love and
matrimony with the man of her
choice and a future blended with his
ambitions
1t all ends happily, so it may be
assumed what course she finally pur-
sues. Since the habits and mode of
living of a rural teacher and those
of a prima donna are not exactly
alike, versatility must be a factor
when one actress portrays both. That
Miss Tell has in abundance. Her
temperamental grand opera diva is an
artist of light comedy who is amusing
and later tense and emotional to a
finished degree. In the village school
room she was sweet and effective in
a lighter role.
The supporting players were so gen.
orally excellent that to single one
above the other is difficult. Gordon
Morris. as the devoted younger broth
er gave a superb characterization, and
Harold Heaton. Judson Langill and
Harry D. Southard as the trio of suit
ors were well fitted to their parts
John D. O'Hara, Frances Grayson,
William BoneTli, Mario Majeroni.
Della West and Edward L. Walton
were uniformly creditable.
Numerous curtain calls testified to
the pleasure of last nights audience,
and appeared to ratify New York S
opinion that the play is well worth
while.

PoIfs-~LIttie Simplicity


The current attraction at Polls
Theater offers glittering instance of
what may be done with hopeless
dramatic product through the simple
expedient of employing comedian
with head, Arthur Hammerstein's
Some Time offers another example
of the same expedient. Both Little
Simplicity" and Some Time" were
rather hopeless projects in the be-
ginning, but Walter Catlett was en-
piece and Ed Wynn did the same for
Some Time"
One cannot sit through Little
Catlett does 1t. He has no part at
concerned. yet he manages, through
out three acts of rather turgid enter
tainment. to inject enough of the
Catlett personality, the Catlett drol-
lery and the Catlett mannerisms to
make an otherwise hopeless musical
entertainment a quite worthwhile
Little Simplicity is nothing but a
group OF dances. two songs and
Walter Catlet. and yet 1t has qualities.
chiefly centered in the last act, which
make 1t attractive.
II is more or less history now that
Little Simplicity at its very birth
demonstrated pronounced orientation
toward the storehouse, but the Shu-
berts turned in three-alarm call for
Catlett, and that comedian slid down
his brass pole and galloped into the
cast in time to save the show.
Take Catletts own part, for instance.
He impersonates the role of a vapid,
mental drool who is tutoring a Quar-
tier Latin student from Troy. N. Y,
and incidentally helping the student
AID his friends to spend a vacation In
Tunis. There is a sheik who wants
flower girl, and the Troy student
saves her by carrying her back to
Paris. The tutor wisely cables father,
who tries to buy of the flower girl
but she isn't that sort, and love finds
way. That's the gossamer web of a
part furnished Catlett-a part which
would be, probably, a kissing and a
by-word in other hands. Yet Catlett
is the life of the party. just as he
was In 80 Long, Lefty" and THE
Kiss Burglar"
ne gets some rather GOOD sup
port from Marjorie Gateson. but
the rest of the cast either have no
parts or have no skill They really
should bill the piece Walter Cat
lett, with Little Simplicity" The
Cameron Sisters. whose ability to
dance is not disputed. appear in
one or two dance numbers that are
graceful and attractive and there
are two songs which deserve mem
tion. II Cannot Leave You Now"
and Fox Trot Military Tune"
Mabel Withee. in the role of the
pursued flower girl, failed, to our
mind. to lend that part the appeal
it called for. Paul Porcasi. Stewart
Baird, Henry Vincent and Carl
Gantvoort sang to good advantage,
though Gsntvoort, in the role of the
rescuing student from Troy. ap-
peared more concerned with his
singing than his acting.
Nevertheless, il is only fair to
say that Walter Catlett rakes pos
sible an entertainment in Little Sim
plicity," which is thoroughly up to
the & standard.
