METROPOLITAN.
Pauline Frederick in

'The Paliser Case"
A weeks presentation Of one Of
the most agreeably diversified photo
play bills of the season was begun
at Crandall's Metropolitan Theatsr
yesterday.
The chief feature Of the bill is 1.-THE
Paliser Case" a perturbation OF the
Edgar Saltus novel of the same name.
in which Pauline Frederick has
rather the best role that has fallen
to her lot in many months. The
story Is interesting and direct and
leads to a battling climax in which
the element of suspense Is developed
to remarkable degree -...
The plot hinges upon the expert
ences of younger singer who finds
1t difficult to provide properly for
an invalid father. Tricked into .
mock marriage and forced by cir
cumstances to leave her supposed
husband, the future holds out even
less of promise than before. The
same events that have been her own
Nemesis, however, bring similar dis
aster upon the man she genuinely
loved. They both vow that Monty
Paliser must pay for the havoc he
has wrought. When Monty Is dis
covered, stabbed to death in his box
at the opera, suspicion naturally
turns to the two lovers whose provo
cation seemed most nearly to justify
the deed. Neither was guilty. The
manner in which this fact Is made
clear and the identity of the real
slayer disclosed, comprises the crux
Of drama that abounds in lighter
touches, the charm Of gentle romance
and a fidelity of life that is rare in
pictures.
The choice among the subsidiary
film offerings is matter of per-
sonal taste. The new Sunshine com.
edy, Her Naughty Wink" is one Of
those farcial extravagances that de-
pend as much upon trick photogra-
ply as upon cleverness of impersona-
tions or incident for success. An
other pretentious addition to the bill,
and one of notable informally
worth, is found in Martin Johnson's
latest installment of his 'Bordcrland
of Civilization" series, entitled, DO
mesticating Wild Mem"

STRAND.
Respectable by Proxy"
Featuring Sylvia Dreamer.

Nothing that has come to Moore's
Strand Theater in recent months has
had the dramatic spice and flavor of
romance that courses through Com
modore ]. Stuart Blackton's produce
ton, Respectable by Proxy" featur-
ing beautiful Sylvia Dreamer and
Dreamer and Robert Gordon. which
opened a weeks engagement at this
popular house yesterday.
Respectable by Proxy" IL sheer
romance with tabasco-like elements
added to give It q wholesome favor.
Everybody apparently 10 interested in
show girls and their alleged willy
tricks. This drama paints them with
an accurate brush and brings in an
unique situation in which a strong
headed young blade from an aristo-
cratic Southern family maFries a
show girl, separates from her, goes to
Siberia, and comes back home to find
another girl rnasquerading as his
wife. The story from this point on
In really too good to tell. Suffice to
say 1t Is distinctive. with piquant
pep to give II verve, but not to the
extent Of putting 1t in the so-called
sex-drana class.

riot through the farce Of the TWEEN

only differentiation being In the con.

the ordinary farce. There II little to
commend It or course Il IL laugh

IL seems as IL most OF the audience
laughed because II was rather expect
ed that they do so at certain intervals.
The story? A man gets intoxicated,
this must have been in the years be-
fore b. ID. (before the drouth.) He
wanders into an apartment, disrobes
and retires. taking the clock to bed
for company. 1t happens to be the
home Of friends of his, and bis fian-

evening. Then arrives q vamp, who
Is holding up the owner Of the apart

present Of two thousand dollars. Tho
pair of men try to hide the vsmp,

the audience high and dry with a.
query as to what 1t had been ALL

Arthur Aylsworth, who has a repu.
tation as an accomplished farceur,
was one OF the few bright spots In
the evening. and at that his part was
not particularly conducive to good
work. William Powell was distinctly
out of place. AS an interpreter of
Shaw and Galsworthy, he ranks
among the best, but he is far too
good an actor to waste his time on
