PLAZA.

Starting today at the Plaza Theatre ''The World Aflame'' the much her aided and talked of photopIay will start it's record run. It is Frank Keen ans supreme achievement and will educate and amuse immensely. The sinister figures of unrest and discon- tent are abroad in the world; a new conception of rights and wrongs has bitten into the minds of many men, many peoples; the old time relations betewen Capital and Labor have been disturbed and the disturbance grows. MT. Keenan has created a triumphant production which offers simple solution to the question which agitates the wisest men. Every working man and his family, every employer and his family should see this super picture. It is a burning and timely message to all humanity for it affects humanity.

POLI'S.

Every act on the bill at Polis and those vaudeville fans who hunger for novelty and newnesS will get more than their fill of it. The program is headed by "Ia gtc Classes an excel lent com tauy of musicians present ing "A Speculation in Specs,' a clever little thing by Francis Nordstrom, well known tox Votaries of the Polt circuit. Another act which is cer- tain to find favor is Alexandria, billed as the Master of Syncopation. Those who love the old jazz stuff, will fall heavily for this turn.
 The real surprise of the season Is the snappy sketch "Over Your Heads" To even give a hint about it's char acter would spoil 1t. The vaudeville is completed with Ford and Truly, an act carrying a canine known as the Dog with the Human Brain, and by Ralph and May, a pair of excellent juggIers who spring a lot of new stuff.
 The feature film is an up-to-d date version of the celebrated stage suc- cess, Lord and Lady AIgy," having Tom Moore, an old favorite here, as it's star. This play smacFs of the race track, and has even "Checkers,' good comedy that it was, beaten by com parison.. There iS an interesting love story interwoven in the main plot.
 The coming of the Mack Sennett bathing beauties in person, beginning with Sunday nights show, is exciting Q great deal of comment, as Bridge port is rather lucky to have secured the attraction which went so big in New York and Boston. The girls will appear in person, of course, and will display the bathing attire that brought about their arrests at Coney Island, under the old blue laws of New York state. They will appear in conjunction with the five-ree1 laugh getter, Yankee Doodle in Berlin"

WEST END

Judging by the known quality of actors in the cast and from a. hurried glance at the story to be told, ''The Love Cheat" which is announced as the attraction at the West End thea ire tonight, will be worth the atten- ton of the film fans. It is an Albert Capellani production, released by Pathe, which ought to be guarantee sufficient to satisfy the most cxacting of screen critics.
 Creighton Hale and June Caprice who were factors in the success of "Oh, Boy!" another CapeIlani Pathe offering, are the stars of "The Love Cheat" which was adapted by Peg gy Mccall from the French stage sue cess, ''Le Danseur Inconnu'' (The Unknown Dancer). Briefly told, the action revolves around a poor young man who through chance finds him self at a, ball given by a millionaire's s daughter. They fall in love and in his ardor he consents to a scheme by which he can pursue his court ship posing as a man of business af- fairs. Then when the sincerity of his love reveals to his conscience the hypocrisy of his wooing, he smears up a perfectly clear pathway to bliss by a confession. But he gets the girl, which is the main thing and he gets her by upsUanding and manly methods-even her cantankeTous and

PARK (ReView)

The Park theatre last night was the scene of many attractive bits of lingerie worn by living models. This and a little comedy goes to make the show known as ''F'lo-Flo." It is plain to see the possibilities of a fine show as it contains very catchy musical numbers and if rendered properly would have been a sure hit. The comedy was well thought up and in terningled with dancing but needed much cIeverer talent to put it across than that evidenced last night. The chorus was capable in but their parts only called for good figures on which to display the lingerie which seemed to be the main reason the show was written.

EiPIRE.

In the producing of why Smith Left Home" the new Paramount-Art- craft picture, starring Bryant Wash burn, showing at the Empire theatre today, Director Donald Crisp tried something new. He held a long re- hearsal, not before the camera, of every scene, coaching the players in their parts and assuring himself that nc, one was miscast.
 jWhen the picture was actually / photographed, the cast was letter perfect, and the time usually spent for re-takes was saved. This precau- tion was considered necessary on ac- count of the speed of the action in the picture, which would be spoiled if every participant was not made thor oughIy familiar with the story be- forehand.
