In One Week of Life" the un-
usual photodrana shown as the chief
feature of the bill at CrandalPs The
ater yesterday. Pauline Frederick is
cast in a role which shares with
every element OF the picture the dis
tinction lent the subject by its ex-
traordinary authorship.
Cosmo Hamilton. one OF the most
gifted dramatists contributing to the
contemporary stage. conceived the
original story which was adapted to
the screen by Willard Mack, a play
wright whose skill in obtaining dra-
matte effects is known to everyone
familiar with the stage
Miss Frederick's role is that of a
girl VINO assumes the place Of an
other in the home for a period of a
week
This seemingly innocent deception
was not planned as means of re-
venge, thievery or divorce, but in
order that the real mistress of the
household might spend week un-
harassed with a small son.
The developments that ensue are
such as to create constantly mount
ing suspense and to provide intervals
of dramatic intensity that are i'm
press.ve In their power
The supporting cast. settings. photo
Graphy and above all the stunning
gowns worn by the star immeasurably
increase the appeal OF a remarkably
gripping subject. The bill was conn
pleted by the customary subsidiary
reels.

Crnndair.-'Pettisrew.. Glri.-

thss8ErW8
The generally prevalent and entirely
erroneous impression that chorus girls
are not habituated to the more ra-
tioral views OF life Is picturesquely
and emphatically contradicted at
Crandalrs Theater the first two days
of this week. where Ethel Clayton is
being screened as star of "Petti-
crews Girl" an effectively staged
photoplay study of stage life and
army camps.
Miss Clayton's role Is that OF a
chorus girl in musical comedy who
is sought by millionaire -Johnnies.
and loved by William Pettigrew, a
member of the awkward squad drafted
from the humber walks of metropoli-
tan life.
The rivalry is keen at the start. but
in time the genuineness OF the rooky's
interest and affection and the glitter
ing superfciality of the heavily
moneyed "adora ton find their way
to the girls consciousness and she
makes the decision OF thoughtful
womanhood in favor of honest re-
gard
The story originally written by
Dana Burnett for the Saturday Even
ing Post, has been adapted to the re-
quirements Of the screen in a thor
ouGhly artistic way, and many of the
pictured scenes reproduce faithfully
both the routine of army camp life
and or the serious business of put
ting on funny musical shows
Miss Clayton's performance of the
leading role is characterized by great
charm. and those filmed in the chief
contributory roles do much to ac-
centuate the broad appeal Of the sub
ject.
The same bill. which is completed
by the customary short reels. is being
repeated at Crandalrs today.

CrandRIrs MetropoIItnn-."rhe Yelled
Adventure"

Had Dick Amnesty been a little
older. or had he read Mr.. KiplinG's
inspired observation concerning the
dcadliness of the female of the spe-
CIeS. he probably would have known
better than to boast where il could
be heard by a beautiful girl that
he would never have anything to
do with a woman who would lie or
steal and that none OF the unfair
sex ever could induce him to elope.
But Dick fortunately. had not at
tanned Mr.. KipIing's cynical and
widely shared view of life and 1t
was therefore possible to utilize the
results Of his youthful indiscretfon

My dear Sir: I acknowledge your re-
ceipt of my last list of subscriptions
and also the receipts for all previous
lists and amounts.
Thanks for your appreciation of my
work as one OF your contestants. 1
am hoping for something good in the
distribution of the prizes. Perhaps no
other OF the contestants worked under
such a serious handicap as mine. This
made 1t impossible for me to do much
personal canvassing and so ! have
not had the variety of experiences, in
teresting. amusing or otherwise that
others may have had. as | did most
OF my work by telephone and personal
and circular letters.
I entered the campaign two weeks
late. Was finding the work very in
teresting and was quite enthusiastic
over il when the sudden death of my
dear father took all my heart out of
such work, as il was for his sake that
l was striving to win one of the cars
in order that he might be taken back
and forth to his office. as he was no
longer able to walk.
From the time of his death. il was
impossible for me to do much more
work, although | did what I could
during the closing days of the club
period. Some friends helped me Sc
cure my first subscriptions. With this
assistance and some suggestions ! feel
that the real results were due to my
own efforts.
I have kept my own lists and ac-
counts in Braille. one of the Puncto-
graphic systems I use. without the
knowledge OF which l could not have
kept the work in my own hands as I
did.
You know ! have sent in a long
list of new subscribers. but 1 failed
many times to secure a good subscrip-
ton. because of the poor delivery serv-
ice in the different parts of the city.
so I hope The Herald management
will see to II that there is prompt
improvement In their service to their
patrons.
Hoping for a very good prize. am,
