Unwilling Hand

The Unwilling Hand" featuring
Kitty Gordon, was yesterdays
screen offering at Crandalrs Avenue
Grand, and provided acceptable en-
tertainment.
The story has to do with Philip
Bellamy. archaeologist in an Ameri-
can university, whose supposed gem
ius is offset by his weakness for
drink. He persuades the university
authorities to finance his expedition
to South America for research work.
Then Margaret Ellis, daughter OF
one of the trustees, who has en-
cOuraged Bellamy. agrees to marry
him, not out of love but from an
inconceivable sense of duty, so that
she can aid him in his research
work. Bob Harding, nephew Of an
other trustee, who is in love with
Margaret. is also a member of the
expedition.
Bellamy neglects his wife in the
desert. but later in the ruins of an
ancient temple. finds the much
sought for relics.
His joy is short lived, for a native
whom he had lashed, imprisons him
in the temple and reports to the
expedition that he was accidentally
killed.

Moore's strand-"where the West
Replns"

In order to touch first upon the
most hazardous feat performed by
William Russell during the entire
action of the picture. it is necessary
to begin the review of Where the
West Begins" at Moores Strand
Theater the first four days of this
week. with consideration Of its final
ClimaCteric incident. As a whirl-
wind conclusion of one Of the most
absorbing melodramas his company
has yet produced. Mr.. Russell gal
lOps his horse through a railroad
yard. Overtakes a departing fast
train. swings aboard from the sad
die and kidnaps the girl who was
trying to return East when his idea
was completely matrimonial and not
amenable to change.
The events leading up to this sur
prising denOuement move with ac-
tiOn that is almost as swift amid
scenes Of natural magnifiCence that
only the West can provide. The out
door settings utilized in this subject
are Of wonderful beauty and the
photography permits none of the
effectiveness of scene to be lost.
The early-week bill at the Stra nd
includes also the news pictures, ami
mated cartoon comedy and special
orchestral features, including care
fully synchrOnized accompa niment

"The Marriage Price,

In none of her recent releases has
Elsie Ferguson been seen to such
good advantage as in THE Mar

drama until Thursday at Loew's
Palace this week.
Those who like consistency in the
story with dramatic action will find
this screen play meets their de-
sires for it tells an appealing story
OF ultra-fashionable New York So
ciety with a continuity which makes
1t grip until the closing scenes.
Helen Tremaine has led a butter

nancial burdens until the death of
her father suddenly discloses a de-
pleted treasury Up to this time
romance has been but a side Issue
in her life with the ardor of her
admirers animated by her lavish ex-
penditure of money.
Faced with poverty or a marriage
with love as an uncertain element,
she tries for a time an existence

have become a part OF her being
1t is not altogether a success and
she finally contracts a marriage that

Graves and a husband whose real
sentiments toward her are an un-
certainty. There are complications
before Fred Lawton finally proves
to her satisfaction the tender and
sincere depth OF the affections
which prompted matrimony.
The settings are ideal for Miss
Ferguson to display some equisite
gowns. an art in which she is thor
Oughly at ease. The action calls for
real acting and the star and sur
rounding players are notably
capable in portraying the emotions
that make for an interesting pic
ture.
A Mack Sennett comedy. The
Village Smith," introduces more
than the usual amount OF slapstick
for laughs but appeared to be thor
oughly enjoyed.

BeIasco-Al esterdny."

A new musical romance with score
BY Reginald DeKoven had its first
presentation at the Belasco Theater
last evening. The name of the COM
poser Of Robin Hood" still carries
a guaranty Of unusual musical in
terest. and ii should be said first OF
all that the new production in no
wise detraCts from that long stand
ing assurance. The familiar flair
for original melody. richness OF
orchestration and brilliancy of final
ensembles are all in evidence.
As a story Yesterday is a pretty
bit of sentimental romance. finding
its picturesquensss in the quaint cos
tuning OF the reign OF the third Ma
poleOn at Paris. A prologue shows an
aged sculptor. honored with fame and
riches. enjoying the "reminiscences
reused by a visit to a ruined inn on
the bank Of the Seine. A gypsy gives
him a magic draught by which the
golden yesterday of which he dreams
Is made real to him. We see then the

who bears a striking resemblance to

Of guests, EorEeously arrayed. An
dre's adventure leads through a fiirta-
tion with a beautiful Rumanian heir
ess to final exposure and humiliation,
with the cr5wninC happiness of for
giveness by his own Elise.
The hook. which is by Gen Mac
Donough. needs some simplifiCation,
the plot being a little heavy in
places for a piece in which the
gIsmor of song and wine and dance
and adventure is alI-suf1cient. The
comedy element. too. somehow fails
ID flt happily in There is much
smoothing out to be done. but when
all is in working order Yesterday
Is sure of a haDpy career.
Miss Ruth Miller is a charming
Elise. with a voice OF sweet and deli
cate quality. Her duet with Vernon
styles. who sings the part of Andre
at the climax of the second act, is
perhaps the most enjoyable of the
musical features. Miss Sidonie Espero
shares honors for beauty and song in
the role Of Diane Brussiloff. Miss
Emile Lea. as Rigolbosche, premier

special grace to the occasion. The

treat in store for them when they

novelty which is called SWhoop-

the talent of the cast.
George F. Hayes, as the police

the town "constubul." and has an
able foil in AL Ferris, who has to
stand as the butt of his Jokes. The
other male members are all old

who ably support Hayes are headed
by Martha Richards, prima donna,
with a very pleasing voice, who has
a number of catchy songs which she
puts over with a lot of pep. Kate
Pullman, with the nimble toes. was
given many encores by the large
audiences. Her dancing is the best
seen at this house in a long time.

The show Of surprises. Henry P.

forth at the Lyceum Theater this
week in a delectable burlesque offer
ing in two acts and eight scenes.
Dixon's show this season far eclipses
the big majority of American circuit
offerings, and is said to be the best
effort of this veteran show producer.
Harry C"Hickey'D Lavan and Claire
Devine are the featured stars of the
show. Lavan's comedy is as fine a
piece Of stage work $ the local house

dramatic work.

is seen to advantage in the song num-
bers and ensemble. The show is re-
plete with vaudeville specialties, and
