THE RIGHT TO LOVE.

''The Right to Love-" which opened at Polls last night, is not we'll titled, for 1t actually discusses the right to kill, which is an entirely different matter. This is a picture to which the producer ard the actors have given much, and the author of the story is little less than nothing.
 Here is a plot laid in Turkey, with surroundings of the utmost interest, which afford opportunity for scenes of variety and charm. But the author can think of no way to get his hero inc into the arms of the man who loves her, except by having the same man kill her husband, form of plot that never did popularize the picture stage, and which is now so hackney ed and common that it hurts every play in which it is used. No, gentle men, in good society it is not good form to kill the lady's husband. even if he is bad husband, and to the present picture this portion of the plot is not in the least necessary.
 The picture is almost melodrama, It is most exciting. The photogra phic work is beautifully done, and the act ing is excellent throughout Many persons will suppose that the abused vrife in the play is better fitted for the part taken by the wicked woman of the plot. The form CT has the dig nifty of appearance and the phySicar characteristics that are usually as sociated on the screen with strength ana moral power. The heroine, the abused wife. is light in character without force or strength of purpose ided to her.
 Nevertheless everybody will like his picture, which Is an enchanting md vivid piece of photography.

the casting of a screen play than in

 every look, every gesture, every

IN THE THEATRES
POITS.

 'Ladies of the Jury,' which is one Of the features of the vaudeville bill which started at Polls yesterday, is a hilarious sketch. The cast includes twelve females of various types from the innocent little girl who is crazy about the movies to the hard boiled, thrice-married matron of fifty sum- mers and many more winters. The action takes place in jury room where the characters have been lock- ed awaiting a decision by them as to whether the gentleman standing trial is guilty or not guilty of mur- der in the first degree. The situa- tions arising from this setting are very funny, but the ladies finally agree to aquit everything is all right anl they may be forgiven for their peculiar way of drawing conclusions. Frank Mullane, another attraction on the bill, brought down the house and responded to several curtain calls However, this is nothing unusual with Frank, it being a matter of course that he hold up the house at fe more popular Irish ballads and told some funny Irish and Yiddish stories.
 The Choy Ling Hee Troupe closed the bill with wonderful exhibition of ma gic. This troupe is probably the best oriental troupe of this char acter on the stage, their costume anl native staging being original to say Rudinofr, the celebrated versatile artist from the Follie Margigny The ater of Paris, France, opened the schow with an exhibition of art, whistling and other novelties. He is the originator of smoke painting. If you do not know what smoke paint ing is, you had better see MT. Rudin- off, as it is something unique.
 Miller and Marlin danced and sang several of the popular melodies and carry special drops anl costumes to represent their characters. They went well.
 MT. and Mrs. Carter De Haven ap- peared in the comedy called 'tSpir- fs" and are still as popular as ever from the way the comedy was en- joyed. Pathe News portrayed some interesting events.
 PARK (Review)
 Joy Bells" rang out merrily last evening at the premiere presenta tior of Al Reeves big burlesque show al the Park theatre for this weekend.
 There are two acts and six scenes during which some of the finest ana funniest entertainment of the seasor is presented. Harry Cooper as 'Heinit Hickups'' is a numorist of no mear quality. He portrays no role othel tfsn that chara cter of the olden days the drunk" He is ably assisted b! Lew Christy and A James. Charles Crafts. the straight man, has yer! line tenor voice and Is much in de mand during the evening. The worl of Charles Levine is worthy of men tion.

KEEP KISSING
 IN THE FILMS.

AS one girl who goes often to the movies, think they are a good thing for the young people. It is quite different from just hearing things said to you. Every girl hears lot about keeping away from the wrong kind of young men, but she doesn't know what that kind of young man may be unless unfortunately, she meets one. The picture show that the bad young man is a very nice. pleasant fellow the outside, and you wouldn't know him until perhaps it was too late, but the screen shows you what hypocrites men can be, and a girl soon learns the right kind of action and can tell it from the wrong kind.
 I certainly think that Dr. Crafts is wrong about his idea of limiting by law how the people in the pie ture can kiss each other. It is bet ter to leave it to the public. It will soon discourage any picture that is really bad. I think that a picture is good, no matter what it shows, when it tends to make ordinary peo- pie want to do the right, instead of the wrong thing.

HOW TO WRITE A PROBLEM
 PHo1ODRAMA
By D. J. L

Write in plenty of subtitles in which the characters speak @ lot of dialogue you wouldn't repeat in your own home. During the anti-climaxes have the virtuous made unhappy and in the big climax have the ''other sort rewarded with riches and con- tentme ent. In the continuity see to 1t that when the play opens all the char acters are married. At the final fade out they are married but not to the same parties. During the action have at least one angry husband smash the panels in the door leading to his Friend Wife's boudoir. Have a mysterious character-preferabl a beautiful damsel attired in a smile l (which covers a multitude of shins). place plenty of stamps on outside of envelope and a like number inside for return postage. Mail it to some well known motion picture producing l company and wait. In few days or you'll receive either check or your scenario back-most likely the | scenario.
