(By UniveraaI Servicc.D

Deauville, France. Aug. 81
"Deauville has degenerated into an
international exposition of the fem-
mine figure and the male pocket
book"
The words, were uttered by Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs and echoed by
hundreds of other Americans OF
wealth and leisure who have hither-
to injected the most brilliant life
into Deauville's season. but this
year have been far outdone by
eccentric innovations from the new

Other heavy winners include
Carlos Vagliano, the millionaire

fourteen points may have a new
demand upon them. Mass meetings
are being held by bathers, fisher
men, bathing house proprietors and
owners of private estates, on the
waterfront of this popular resort
section of New Jersey to make
strong protest against the heavy
scum Of oil which is spelling their
sport and interests in the adjacent
sector of the Atlantic Ocean.
Primarily they want to know why
this menace should be greater this
summer than ever before, with the
exception of a few weeks imme-
diately following the torpedoing of
the tanker Kellogg of Bay Head in
1917. Federal and State officials are
charged with the responsibility
There is much talk of the fourteen

CrandaIrs-AIice Joyce In THE
Prey

Alice Joyce and Larry Scmon are
the nictured- stars of the exception
ally attractive photoplay bill on
view at Crandall's Theater the hrst
three days of the current week, be-
Ginning Yesterday. Miss Joyce is
filned in the stellar role OF The
Prey. a drama in which are COM
bined all of the elements of imme-
diate appeal to all classes and all
ages; Mr.. Semon in one of his most
IauChable two-reel comedies. The
Stage Hand" which, as its name
suggests. goes into partnership with
a musical comedy company for fun.
THE Prey" unfolds with intensity
and forcefulness the story of a girl
who fought winning night against
odds~to save the name
of her dead father from contumely
in the eyes of the financial world. to
rescue a brother from the clutches
of a money ring and TO WIN the
right to happiness with the man she
loved. Foremost among the oppos-
ing forces was the brute she mar
ried to buy immunity for those most
dear in her life. The action is tense
but orderly and the climax one of
great effectiveness. The production
takes rank with the best Miss Joyce
has had and the photography is uni
formly artistic.
Supporting Miss Joyce in role
that inspires the most cordial dis
like is L. Rogers Lytton, one of the
most competent actors on the screen.
Mr.. Semon's THE Stage Hand"
makes f6ll use of every device
known to the theater to create alb
surd situations and continuous
laughter. There are times when the
is not too delicate. but there

Crandal's knickerbocker, Alice
Lake in .Tke MisRt Wife,

Snub Pollard whose single-reel
comedies probably have no equals
upon the screen, has gone to Lon
don for the locale of his latest
camera farce and has made the po-
lice force the butt of his tomfoolery.
In "A London Bobby" Mr.. Pollard,
ably and rotundly aided by Hughey
Mack and Marie Mosquini. assumes
the guise of a miniature policeman
who is assigned to clean up the
toughest alley in the city.
BY subterfuge that saved him
from the necessity of bodily con-
hict and caused him to shine in re-
fected glory, he garnered himself
promotion and then his troubles
really began. The manner of their
progress threw capacity audiences
into convulsive laughter yesterday
at Crandalrs Knickerbocker Thea
ter, where "A London Bobby" was
shown for the first time in the Capt.
tai as the chief supplementary fea-
ture of one of the most perfectly
balanced bills of the summer. One
of the agreeable features of this
latest of the Hal Roach productions
is that it has been totally depleted
of utilization of liquid foods as a
source of amusement.
The Pathe News, as usual, is an
other subsidiary feature of the pro-
gram arranged for yesterday and
today at the Knickerbocker. The
newest selection of interesting hap
penings includes many events of
notable Importance. Added short
reels and excellent musical accom-
paniment under the conductorship
of Mr.. Sokolove added to the enter
tanning quality of the bill.
The chief feature of the Knick er-
bocker's early-week program is The
Misfit Wife" film version of Julie
Herne's stage play, The Outsider" ;"
in which Alice Lake does the most
noteworthy work of her career as
star and a complete review of
which will be found in connection
with the Metropolitan Theater,
where this engrossing subject also
was accorded first presentations in
the Capital yesterday.

The cast is one of uniform ex-
cellence. Pat O'Malley is a credit
to the craft that is responsible for
newspaper reporters, and Agnes
Ayres Would brighten the corner of
any publication clever enough to
give her a desk in its editorial
rooms. Wesley Barry is grotesquely
amusing as Dinty, the office boy.
