THE BOOMERANG.

Louiszita Valentine, the fascinat-
ing young leading woman who has
set theatre-goers raving over her
simple but striking beauty as reveal
ed in the role Of a Swiss French
nurse in David Belasco's delightful
presentation OF The Boomerang, y
which comes TO the Oliver theatre
Saturday matinee and night. is win
ming the hearts of the theatre-goers

reer covers but a few years. all OF

New York city. But even though
Miss Valentine has never been seen
here. she is we'll known to play low
ers through the magazines. having
been characterized as the girl who
won 10y listening" That is how she
was described on the occasion Of her
first New York appearance. In the
play, il was necessary for Miss Val
entine TO sit quietly for 90 minutes
in full view OF the audience, listen
ing to her elderly lover talk. while
she spoke never a word. Yet Miss
Valentine worked this oracle OF ST.
lence and achieved a remarkable
success.
The career, OF Louiszita Valentine
is more than interesting. because IL
is a simple one. She was born in
a little country village in Ohio, and
lived there, very quietly, up TO the
age Of 10. when she left school.
From my earliest childhood, "
says Miss Valentine. 81 had longed
to be an actress. So. when my
chance came OF saying what l want
ed 20 do with my life. declared that
I wanted 10 go on the stage.
''Since going on the stage" says
Miss Valentine, u have learned that
there is something in life besides
philosophy and melancholia. I have
now come 10 realize that one should
take ones joy seriously and ones
misfortune lightly"

SPLENDID HORSE RACE
PICTURE AT LASAIIIE

Everyone likes a spirited horse
race, even on the screen and there
is o1A pictured in THE Racing
Strain" at the Lasalle today that IS
splendid. Quaint Mae Marsh plays
southern girl who loves horses
and incidentally. a soldier. The ro-
nance and the sporting events blend
nicely and there is just enough viii
lainy woven through TO give the
dramatic punch. The heroine does
not have to ride the winnig horse
in order to save dads fortune and
there are many human touches TO
the story that take 1t out OF the
melodrama class. Saratoga's fastest
trotters in one OF the big events Of
the racing season are well pictured
and there is much in the production
to entertain.

American author. The author, Har-
old Bell Wright, has directly super
vised this production and the tale
of the Idyll of the Ozarks is most
beautifully retOld in these pictures.
II is an intensely human story in
which tragedy, romance and comedy
are skilfully blended. In the lives
OF the typical mountineer charac-
tiers. the world-old story of love. sin
and suffering and forgiveness IS told
and through il all a moral of manli-
ness and honesty is held out that
seems 20 purify the story Of tram
meled love on which the play is
based There is hate memorable,
fear OF man and spirit. vengeance
that has burned a life time, love,
human and divine, all these in a
swiftly moving panorama make this
picture drama one of the most emo
tional and effective that has been
produced in some time.

TMEATERS
Az THE CASTLE.

''As many laughs as the plums in
a Christmas pudding" is the way
one spectator described Marguerite
Clark's latest picture, Little Miss
Hoover" which introduces her TO
Castle patrons today as the most
dainty Of farmerettes. The story it
self is a fanciful one of timely inter
est, with one of Uncle Sans fighting
boys playing the hero role. It's plot
has plenty of action, suspense and
romantic interest and Eugene
O'Brien, another favorite with film
fans plays an important support
ing role. Miss Clark has never ap-
peared lovelier than in this latest Of
fering.
Tomorrow The Racing Strain
brings TO the Castle screen once
more wistful Mae Marsh.
