Everybody who has heard of "Pi- cadilly Jim" will be delighted to know that he will saunter into New Haven at the Shubert for three days visit commencing Monday. There will be the usual Wednesday matinee. The widely-read tale of P. G. Wodehouse has been made into an exciting g comedy by the author in collaboration with Guy Bolton and is introduced
 to the stage by Stuart Walker whose name is always associated with new and delightful theatrical discoveries.
 Gregory Kelly, who jumped into fame as Willie Baxter in MT. Walk CTS production of Seventeen" proved himself a brilliantly versatile come
 dian in the title role of the new play. As Piccadilly Jim he literally brings
 to life that most IoYabIe, Imaginable
 hero of odd scrapes and real ad- venture. The play starts with Jimmy s
 morning after,' a tisticuff argument
 with Lord WhippIe in London. The
 first act shows him swinging his cane
 in the New York employment office.
 where he falls under the spell of the lovely Anne Chester. For her sake he impersonates vers fibre poet and
 hires out as a kidnapper; and needs all his imagination and ready wit to explain himself out of desperate sit
 nations. However, when a really dangerous situation arises, Jimmy proves Johnny y-on-the-spot, and the final curtain shows our dead-broke hero having won both a fortune and the girl.
 As PiccadilIy Jim, Mr. Kelly ex- ceeds all speed limits for laughs for the authors have broken their own 1 records in the matter of comic ingen- 1 uity. And MT. Walker has gathered q brilliant company to portray the unusual character tangled in theiI web of blythe humor.
 Ruth Gordon plays the demure Anne Chester. Burford Hampden as i the compIacent prize of the kidnap- l pers, William Sampson as the patient l inventor, Catherine Proctor as the 1 lady detective, Elizabeth Patterson as | the cultured Mrs. Pett, Fred Tiden as l the nerVy burglar, Frank Connor i Grace Hayle, Beulah Bondy, Glare | Weldon, Agnes Gildea, Graham Vel l sey, Dora Matthews, Edgar StehIi

 q wonder if that story can be put upon the screen? It's q dangerous theme-the love of a yellow man for 8. white girl-and would have to be treated with the same exquisite deli cacy and sureness of touch the author used in order to make the picture in any way possible"
 Well, 1t could not have been more beautifully handled. Richard Barthel- mess as the lonely Chinese lad who comes to London to convert the An Elo-SaxOn to the theories of the gen. tie Buddha, and there meets disillu- siOnment, love and death, gives a marvellous presentation.
 Surely this stolid, intense, sansi- tive. passionate, disappointed, sad eyed watchfuI oriental could never have played in the comedies. Yet it was only last week you saw him lending Inerrineut to a. Dorothy Gish picture.
 And Lillian Gish. It has been that now you like her and now you don't This time, however, there can be no question about her. She is a poor little cockney, the ward oE a prize fighter whom she calls Daddy" It is upon this helpless wa5f that daddy vents the rage Of his black moments -using the rawhtde with skill born of long practice. one of these beat ings brings her to the Chinaman's door step, where she falls, spent with pain.
 Hunger, agony, terror, helpleSsneSS, ttmid gratitude to the first person who has ever been kind to her-the Chinese boy-are all portrayed by Miss Gish with startling realism. You are sick with pity for her. You ad- init it-and that shows how wonder fuI she Is.
 As to Donald Crisp as the prize fighter, you must hand him medal for work well done. And then you'd d like to forget him. The minor parts are all exCellentIy played.
 The picture has a rather novel col or scheme-Chinese blue. AwfulIy effective. It Is characterized by the artistic settings, splendid photography and keen attention to detail that aI- ways mark a Griffith production.
 The one and only criticism would be that at the start the action is toe slow. It takes you a, long while tc get into the story.
 Broken Blossoms" is a credit tc its maker.

 Walter Brooks, the stage director, tells an amusing story on himself. It is a well known fact that when q stage director and an actor meet in a verbal bout, it is worth listen ing to. It is always highly eIucidat- ing, and although exceptionally vi triolic at the time, does not last.
 It happened that MT. Brooks found it necessary to censure an actor for some omission in his work, and they met in verbal array. There is noth- ing to arbitrate," MT. Brooks firmly declared. '"Te incident Is closed and don't do it again, and it does not re- quire an answer.'' That settled it.
