STRAND.

The most delightful romantic him
drama in which the late Harold Lock
wood was ever pictured is being pre-
sented as the principal feature Of the
photoplay bill at Moore's Strand
Theater the first four days of this
week under the title of THE Great
Romance"
"The Great Romance" discloses the
story of young American who falls
heir to an obscure European kingdom,
and in assuming the reins of govern
ment, becomes involved in a series Of
intrigues and adventures. The devel-
opments are rapid and the action, Of
necessity, brisk and unremittingly in
teresting.
Mr.. Lockwood visualized with COM
plete success the dashing figure of
Rupert DanZa, the young student at
Columbia, who suddenly became the
dominant personality in a turbulent
principality.
The bill is completed, as usual. by
the picturized current events. topics
of the day. and an exceptionally
lsughable Mutt and JEFF animated
cartoon.

kNICKERBOCKER.

The film version OF Cheating
Cheaters," shown at Crandalls
knickerbocker yesterday, measures
quite up to the stage production
both in point Of its tense hold on the
interest of the spectator and its grip
ping thrills. Clara Kimball Young is
its star and is pictured in the role
of Nan Carey, a clever girl who be-
comes the leader OF a notorious band
OF crooks. She establishes a home in
a fashionable section of New York
city. planning thereby to further ac-
quaintance with the Palmer family
and. upon opportunity. steal the fa-
nous Palmer Jewels. At last her
opportunity comes. but, much to her
surprise she finds that the jewels are
only paste and that the Palmers are
themselves crooks. The leaders of
the respective bands decide a combi-
nation or joint syndicate for the pur-
pose Of carrying on operations would
be highly desirable. But still greater
surprises follow, leading to a strong
climax. The same picture will be
repeated at the Knickerbocker to-
night.

AVENUE GRAND.

"The Racing Strain" was yester-
days attraction at Crandall's Avenue
Grand. Mac Marsh is it's star. At
the opening of the story, the audi
ence learns that the Cameron for

colonefs stable. once of the pride OF
his State. now contains but one horse,

GARRICK.

Charm of personality is the chief
asset for success on the stage-the
success measured by entertainment
given to an audience-Marie Cahill
proved last night in her debut in
straight comedy at the Shubert-Gar-
rick. For IL is this appeal, rather
than the snappy duips with which the
authors provided her, that makes
Just Around the Corner" well worth
seeing.
Miss Cahill is admirably fitted for
work in just such a coZy, homelike
playhouse as the Shubert-Garrick.
She fits right in with its compact ar
rangement which seems to eliminate
the footlights as a dividing line be-
tween the auditors and actors and
makes you feel as though you had a
part i'll the action of the entertain
ment.
Just Around the Corner" can
not stand out for keen humor or
satire. and would be spoiled if pre-
sented from that viewpoint. But the
dialogue is snappy and has point, and,
above all, the play has action.
The plot of the comedy is a re-
versal OF the time-honored ore
wherein all villainy emanates from
the large city and all goodness from
rural communities. If a moral, or a
lesson, or a controversion is at
tempted, it cannot be said it is pre-
sented convincingly. For, according
tc the story, Mrs. LaTrimore miss
CahilD is fleeced by the big city
crooks before she encounters their
counterparts in the small town to
which she fees to recoup her for
tunes, and does. If there is a moral
it rather is that there is no monopoly
of good. or bad, in any community,
or by any class.
But it is a play OF optimism. Who
could be more optimistic than a New
York society woman, who loses a for
tune with a smile and sets out to win
another by conducting a country store
with the assista2ce OF a rube clerk,
an eX-pickpocket, a knight of the
highways" a stranded actress, and in
the face OF the open hostility OF the
inevitable big boss of a small town
who conducts an opposition store to
say nothing of owning the only bank
and the only newspaper. But Mrs
Larrimore does and wins in most di-
yerting manner.
George MacQuarrie, who plays lead
to Miss Cahill. Roy Briant, Glen An
ders, Wilson Reynolds, Lorin Baker
Eugenie Blair, Charles Morrison, and
Margaret Hoffman, complete a capable
cast.

GARDEN,

Danger. Go Slow" the outstanding
feature OF the photoplay bill at
Moore's Garden Theater the first four
days of this week, gives Mae Murray
the most fruitful opportunity Of her
career in silent drama.
Miss Murray is cast in the role of
Muggsy Mulane, the Junior member
of band of city crooks that is fl
nally broken up by police raid.
Fleeing from the law. Muggsy boards
a freight train and in course of time
finds herself. disguised as a boy. pen
niless in a small country town. She
enlists the aid OF dear old lady who
proves to be the mother of the only
member of the gang who was caught
in the raid. While Muggsy is under
going the regeneration that inevitably
follows helpful association she takes
upon herself the task of bringing
something of a new point Of view to
members of the community whose
vision OF right and justice has be-
come sadly warped.
The bill is completed by the Gus
tomary short reel additions and ex-
cellent orchestral accompaniment.

principal attraction at the Palace
Theater this week in His Partisan

gives the great screen star an oppor-

not only her histrionic abilities but
some wonderful clothes.
That Paris and its social whirl are
just as far removed from the quiet,
Puritanic life of New England as the
East is from the West. is the principle
which the play has for its basis. 1t is
the story of a struggling young
French authoress who meets a rich
young American in search of excite
ment in Paris.
The two are married after only a
few hours of courtship and sail for
America. The young wife Miss Fer

world until they arrive at the home
OF her husbands parents in New Eng
land. The old folks belong to the old
school of Puritanism and are shocked
by the young wife's ultra-fashionable
and risque clothes. They finally sue
ceed in estranging the husband from
the wife, who leaves their home and
becomes a sensation in New York So
ciety. The husband at last recognizes
the error Of his ways and begs for
giveness.
