"Evangeline.."

Crowds filled Moores Rialto yester-
day afternoon and last night to see a
beautifully artistic perturbation of
LonSfellow's classic poem, 'Evange-
line with Miriam Cooper in the title
role. The story of the poem is fol-
lowed closely, much more so than
might be expected. and the picture as
an entirety represents a high degree
of excellence.
Miss Cooper's acting is very good,
carrying conviction through every
phase of the sad tale. At home in
Acadia. surrounded with flowers and
warm friends. she was at her best, but
Fdherlng closely to the story she
passes into mature years with full
realization of all their requirements.

opened the season at Poli'e Theater last
night. Songs that are catchy and haunt
the memory, dances that are graceful
and novel. and a cast that is pleasing,
combine to make Nothing But Love-

GARRICK-"Every Lii Move
ment."

A farce with the Avery Hopwood
hallmark is bound to be funny. The
only question is, does it contain more
or fewer laughs than previous ones
from the same pen? He set up high
mark with Fair and Warmer" 1t
has even stood transplanting to the
film theaters. But in Every Lii
Movement" as presented last night at
the Garrick by the Garrick Players,
he has written farce that ranks with
his funniest. For two hours the au-
dience was kept in almost continuous
laughter. There is constant action,
pable portrayal by the cast is con-
vincing.
The action of the play is based upon
the ability of an East Indian mahatma
to exchange the astral bodies of two
husbands who lack appreciation of
their wives. Each husband has the
thoughts and soul of the other but
their outward appearance is unchanged.
The most ludicrous complications en-
sue. Happily it turns out in the last
act that the supposed exchange of
astral bodies was but a dream. but the
purpose of the oriental teacher was
achieved, for the husbands were re-
formed and thereafter were most de-
voted.
Earle Foxe. as Tommy Campbell, and
Donald Mcdonald, as Jimmie Norton,
were the chief funmakers, aided by
John Cline. who was not recognizable
as Policeman O'Brien. Doris Sheerin,
as Sybil Norton, and Gladys Knorr. as
LeckSy Campbell, made delightful
wives. l.. Morta Bell, as the Baba
Mahrati, was impressive, and other
roles were adequately represented by
louise Gerard Huntington and Albert
Richards.

for whose death there is but little
sorrow. The title of the picture re-
fers to an admirer of Stellas, who.
just as she is about to be convicted
of the murder of her husband. per-
jures himself in her behalf, swearing
that he saw the arm of native pro-
trude into Capt. Ballantyne's tent,
when the fact was that the captain,
in his delirium, pointed out what he
thought he saw. The witness asks
more of Stella, subsequently, than
she is willing to give in gratitude to
him for thus saving her life. but, to
his credit. he does not join in the
final conspiracy against her to keep
her from the man she loves.
The strongest moment of the pic
ture comes when Stella tells the Eng
lishman that she did kill her husband.
Miss Ferguson scores another tri-
umph with this picture. The f1neness
of her emotional work is noteworthy.
The part is an unpleasant one. and in
the hands of a less capable actress
would leave a painful impression.
The sympathy of the spectator. how
ever. goes out to Stella in every stu
alton. The splendid tropical setting
of the picture makes it thing Of
beauty.
A funny comedy, "Uncle Tom
Without the Cabin" with the good
Pershing pictures, completes the pro-
gram.
