Mabel Normand Finds
New Use for Chocolate

A slap from Mabel Normand might
be expected to have a comic effect
for the sprightly comedienne invests
everything she does with laughter. A
glance out of the cofper Of her eye,
a twist Of her slim body. trip OF her
feet and everybody chuckles. As for
a full-sized slap-well, 1t remains to
be seen how funny she makes that
when THE Pest" latest OF her Gold
wyn Pictures. comes to the Metro
politan Theater beginning next week.
The comedy shows Mabel Normand
as Fuckers. the village pest. who con-
trives to mingie with the guests at a
party given by Blanche. the daughter
Of the local Judge. Fuckers is decked
out In what she considers the last
word in feminine attire and her airs
and graces are such as only Mabel
Normand could conceive. In the
midst of the festivities Fuckers spies
the refreshment table in an adjoining
room. She edges toward 1t and grabs
two handfuls OF chocolates after she
has bitten at least dozen sandwiches.
With discovery imminent she Is forced
to dash out, still with the uneaten
chocolates. She Us confronted by an
old friend, dignified elderly man.
Not to shake his outstretched hand
would be flagrant discourtesy. yet
Fuckers feels her hands to be a mass
OF sickness. With a big eulp she
grasps the mans palms and the worst
happens-she transfers the great mass
of melted chocolate and meets his
astonished gaze as he looks at his
own palm and at hers.

The Rising Helen Hayes |

Haywood Broun, the scholarly
dramatic critic of the New York
Tribune. has found time to select
the ;;all-American dozen" actresses
of the current theatrical season.
Broun was a baseball writer be-
fore he became a dramatic critic,
and in this manner he harks back
to the sporting practice of selecting
the best nine baseball players or the
best eleven football players at the
close of a season. Mr.. Broun says
he had to go the football practice
one better and select twelve act
resses. but that's not the point of
the story.
The real point of the story is the
fact that among the twelve best
American actresses of 1888. in
Haywood Broun's opinion, is that
Hayes, whose full name is Helen
Hayes Brown, and who cavorted
merrily with the other Mount Pleas
ant kids a few years ago.
Helen Hayes was the girl who,
last fall. at the age of II, electrified
Washington and Manhattan with her
sterling acting in Barrie's play,
Dear Brutus." Miss Hayes appears
in but one act of Dear Brutus,"
yet in that one act she actually
subordinates to her own perform
ance the work Of no less a star than
William Gillette.
Here's what Mr.. Broun said about
her. in commenting on his selection:

INT is truly an awakening of tall
$nt that brings Mary Pickford to
the screen OF Loew's Palace Theater
next week for a weeks showing of
Ter newest phOtOplay, Capt. Kidd.
tr-" because the last picture Mary
Pickford gave the screen was re-
leased in the middle of last Septem-
Der. ust as summer was waning.
Mary .Pickford's infrequency of
screen appearance is due to one big
cause and that Is a scarcity of suit
able stories Nearly everyone who
comes from the West Coast tells
this stame story-there is a story
famine. Without going into a dis
cussion of the causes for this scare
Ity. one needs but to mention the
fact that Mary Piekford guards her
reputation among screen fans so
jealously that she prefers not to
appear at all rather than appear in
a poor story.
Capt Kidd. Jr." Miss Pickford's
newest picture. however. is one OF the
suitable kind and OF such importance
