WEST END.

She danced her way into the hearts of the peop1e-a little slip of a girl who a few short years ago was to- tally unheard of,- but who now ranks with the greatest screen and stage 1uminaries.
 She is Constance Binney, who ap- pears at the West End theatre to- night, in her second Realart pro duction, '"The Stolen Kiss, and in ths whimsical story by Lucille Van Slyke, Miss Binney shows little of the marvellous dancing which started her on the road to fame.
 ''The Stolen Kiss shows the de- butante star in a dual role. She is seen both as little girl brought up in almost c1oister-1ike sec1usion and as her bedridden mother. Felicia, the little girl, undergoes a series of pathetic, yet whimsical, ad- ventures before she finds love and happiness. The scenes in which she regains possession of her Brooklyn home and the manner in which she fills it with all sorts of potential l dere1icts, are replete with soul-stir- ring vividnesS.

EMPIRE.

Everybody's After "Jimmy~ Valentino
 Presumably taking a hint from the song, everyone is looking out for Alias Jimmy Valentine" In this case it is Metros screen version of the famous Paul Armstrong drama, with Bert LyteH the star; and it is
 due for a showing today at the Elm
 pire theatre.
 As may be. recalled, Jimmy Valen-
 tine is a prisoner in Sing Sing on a ? charge of bank robbery, who has
 earned the enmity of the brutal war den because he always 'plays the
 gentleman" Jimmy has the reputa-
 tion of being a master cracksman who opens safes without burglars
 implements, relying upon his eX- tremely sensitive touch to feel the slight jar of the tumblers in the com binations of safes. What followed the effect of Jimmy's reputation and the possession of this odd skill
 on his after 1ife-forms one of the ! most thrilling, breath-catching melo- dramas ever written.
 The cast supporting MT. Lytel1 in cludes Vo1a Vale, Eugene Palette, Wilton Taylor, Marc Robbins, Robert Dunbar, Winter Hall and James Farley, Finis Fox wrote the scena- rio, Sol Polite photographed the pie ture; and Sidney Ullman arranged the special art settings. Maxwell Karger, director general supervised the entire production.

/, il you pick your road carefully, Mr..

Those who should know whereof they
speak are pessimistic, but they admit
that there are three or four possible
trips over good roads through pleasant
country to places Of picturesque or his
torical interest.
The consensus os opinion among indi-
vidual car owners and in the various
automobile clubs would seem to point
to the south, especially through Havre
de Grace to Baltimore as the slrest tip
in the matter Of pleasant days auto

The route IF such trip should be

starting early in the morning.
Not only are the roads good almost
all the way, but there is less chance of
running into heavy traffic. although any
road is likely to be motor infested on
