THE HYPERION.


It's going to be "smile night at the
Hyperion this Sunday for Manager
Menges has booked bill with optimism
as its chief asset Nand incidentally it is
not often that two such famous stars
Of the screen as Douglas Fairbanks ana
Charlie Chaplin appear on one program
but that is just what is going to hap
pen this Sunday night. Fairbanks will
be seen in "The Habit of Happiness"
which not only affords wonderful screen
entertainment but it teaches a lesson
that every one can we'll profit by. Doug
is seen as wealthy chap, the very es-
sence of optimism himself and he de-
cides to bring others to his way of
thinking so he goes to live with the
Submerged TENTH" the outcasts of the
city and he brings sunshine and happi-
ness to them making them live new
life. The picture is remarkable for the
types it presents and one wonders
where Fairbanks gathered hem all.
Chaplin will be screened III "The Vaga-
bond" depicting the mishaps and mixups
of knight of the road and Chaplin's
pantomimic art was never better shown
than in this picture. The other i've
Trihers" with Edith Roberts starred.
Girls of moderate means who have an
overwhelming passion for emulating the
socially and fashionably elect may well
profit from the disillusion experienced
by Edith Roberts in this picture. From
salesgirl to the luxuries of country
estate is sudden jump of the ambitious
girl but the swift uncloaking of the
society set" which has been her dream
world brings her to a swift and sudden
realization of the unworthiness of her
own sphere. The same program will
show Kilograms and Prizma and that
always delightful music by the Hyperion
Symphony orchestra with the entire
lower floor reserved and seats procur-
i able in advance.
Following their tremendous success in
"Very Good Eddie" with every existing
record for attendance shattered by
thousands of people on the week the
versatile Hyperion Players abandon
musical comedy the coming week and
revert to the most entertaining form OF
comedy drama in the presentation OF the
former Ruth Chatterton and Henry
Miller success "Come Out of the Kitch
en-" marking the first release for stock
dramatic production. Alice Duer Miller
wrote the rose colored fairy tale from
which the play was made by A. E.
Thomas and it was charming book and
even more charming play and It is going
to strike a high note at the Hyperion
the coming week. There is much about
the story of the Virginian girl who,
with her brother and sister consent to
serve as domestics when wealthy
Young bachelor from the north rents
their home for the shooting season. The
family needs the money, the parents de-
part for the north and rather than have
strangers, look after their possessions
the Young persons convert themselves
into the staff below stairs. OF course
in such circumstances only one thing
could happen in book or play. The
wealthy young sportsman, IN spite OF the
protests of his relations, falls IN love
with the cook before he discovers that
she is child of the oldest of the orig
inal F. F. VS. even if he is thereby
compelled to break off what is almost
an understanding" with his cousin and
irritate her mother as well as his old
friend who is also guest IN the house
served by this curious supply OF retain
ers. But when the prince wedS the little
sewing maid who turns out to be a
princess herself, all the silver lined
clouds fade away. 1t may be that they
did not live in peace and die IN grease
and find their interment behind the
mantle piece but they are nevertheless
the delightful figures in this dear little
Virginia fairy tale.
Mr.. Thomas took three acts to tell
the story of the book. They all pass in
the ancestral Virginia mansion, the
background for the exhibition OF the
servants from upstairs being the draw
ing room, the kitchen and finally the
dining room On the clever intrigue OF
the Miller story Mr.. Thomas has built
most ingenious and entertaining COM
edy There could be nothing more to
the authors credit than the achievement
of placing the whole action of the last
act about dining table and keeping the
spectators constantly entertained. The
admirable quality of Come Out OF the
Kitchen combined with the acting will
serve to make the play one of the most
delightful treats of the season. Obvious
w Miss St Claire will have the role OF
BOLIVIA Dangerheld," as played by Miss
Chatterton, with Mr.. Van Buren, as
"Durton Crane" the gentleman from
the north. The other roles will be IN
the competent hands of the regulars IN
Guiding Mr.. Lindhard, Miss Blair, Mr.
DRESSER, Miss Corinne, Mrs. Hlbbard,
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Williams. Seats
for all presentations are now on sale at
the box Office. At the Monday matinee
