On The Screen
The Hope Chest" Affords An
other Little DisturI,er''
Role for Dorothy Cish

Pessimistic persons are always tell
ing US that VIC are over enthusiastic in
regard TO the pictures
We see a picture and arc delighted
with it, and they see it and are bored
or only mildly praiseful, so it seems
difficult to recommend an entertain
ment. When people say to US, as they
do six times day. I'VE want to see
movie tonight Which is the best
film ?" we never know where to send
them.
And with this apology we shall say
that we do not see how any one could
help enjoying "The Hope Chest" at
the Rialto. 1t is all about a little girl,
Sheila Moore, the daughter of a vaude-
vile person who has an act that
stops the show on "the big small
time"
Sheila works in big confectionery
shop and here she meets Tom Ballan-
tyne, the son of the proprietor, and
Tom Immediately loses his heart and
his head So much so that after a
week of walking around the beaches
and shooting the chutes he carries her
away and marries her The horror of
his family is pathetic and funny.
Dorothy Gish is at her best (anothcr
LITTLE disturber) as Sheila Moore. Her
fun is spontaneous and infectious.
Rlchald Barthelmus. as Tom, does
absolutely the best work we ever have
seen him do, and all the time he is
even Richard could look He is him

effective is his denunciation Of his

Moliere's "L'Avare" was given at the

10 modern audience the appeal OF
such a play lies chiefly in its historical
interest Incidentally, this perform
ance serves wise purpose. The CON
temptation OF the simple dramatic fare
that delighted the ancients overseas is
unequalled FOR the purifying Of pas
sions, surfeited with an unbroken
chain of war play, studies in the senti-
mental education Of young girls, both
Eastern and Western. in the art Of
Namplng, and an occasional spasmodic
STAB at the great American play
In his prose comedy Moliore bor-
rowed heavily from the classics He
was his habit when in hurry. He
helped himself with both hands to
plays by Ariosto, Plautus and Bois-
robert. From the latter's Belle
