They Know Its Up to Them

the screen as she is on the stage. One
misses her vivid coloring and her nice
English voice. And the young woman
who played Modesty was too tall for
our notion-modesty does not loom so
large nowadays, and Youths curls
were too obviously curled on an iron.
Patricia Collinge played Youth when
we saw 1t first. Wanda Hawley, as
Beauty. filled all Of the requirements,
Passion. Poor man, he always is cast
for such wicked roles because he is
dark and has very white teeth. And
when we saw him leering at Every
woman and trying to get her in his
power and embracing Vice and drag
ging Wealth down into oblivion we
felt as though we ought to rise up and
say, Listen, Everywoman, he is a very
nice young man and one may 20 to tea
with him with impunity"
Theodore Roberts was as splendid as
he always is, in the part of Wealth,
and Raymond Holton was sort Of
little to do. There is not more
clever actor on the screen to-day than
Raymond Holton.
OF course Everywoman has not gone
from the stage to the screen intact,
but the plot, as it stands, seems to be
quite satisfactory. Particularly for
Saranac Lake is the solution a happy
one, for the moral to the story is that
it is much better to marry a young
physician the first time he asks you
than it is to listen to Wealth and Bluff
and Puff and 60 on the stage
Now, in Saranac we fancy there are
not so many chances to go on the
stage, while every other man you
meet is young physician. But this
young physician whom Everywoman
spurned was an unusually nice one.
His real name was Love, but before
he was recognized by every one he
was called Sympathy, Compassion and
so on. Of course, Truth explained
later to Everywoman "You should
have known he was Love, because he's
my son, and Love is ever born of
Truth" "Oh," we mentally responded,
as that so? Well sometimes a little
truth indiscreetly communicated can
do more to upset lovc"- but what's
the use? This is a morality play.
Anyway, this young physician, whose
real name was Love, was regular
beauty doctor - he revived Modesty
after every one else had given her up,
and he liberated Beauty from the
prison where Dissipation had walled
her up. We even expected him to
DIlHg DaCk 1Outn, DuC tnlS ne dld not
do. Presumably true Love does not
notice a little thing like the lack Of
Youth-and that's good news.
Any way, after the matinee we
watched the people coming out Of the
theater, as is our won't, and listened
for their comments, but they all
seemed to be occupied with their own
thoughts. The girls who had yearn-
ings for q stage career came out
looking defiant and those who had
attended the performance with young
physicians came out looking expectant,
while the y. p.s themselves looked as
though they thought it was up to
them.
And we signaled seven-passenger
taxi and Glen Harvey, who owns the
taxi company here, said, "I'm so glad
you like my taxi policy. I think III
have to 60 down to New York and
show them how" and we answered.
"It's promise" wondering if he knew
that his drivers blush and look the
other way when you try to give them
slight token Of your appreciation.
Yes. really!
