WEST END.

Because the new theatre now under construction at Universal City was not completed in time for the filming of Under Suspicion a new crook-com- edy drama to be shown tonight at the West End theatre, a metropolitan playn ouse had to be leased for a night, suspendtng a popular stage pro- duction and turning away Q. box office crowd.
 When Director William c. Dowlan learned that there was a theatre scene coming he tried his wicl1edest to pre- vail on somebody to speed up work on the theatre, but to no avail, so like all other resourcefuI men he did the next best thing. He hired a big the- atre in Los Angeles and charged it up to his boss, Carl Laenmie, president of the big U.
 Under Suspicion features Ora Ca rew, who was also the leading player in Loot another spectacular crook drama de luxe released by this con cern. In Miss Carew's support in Under Suspicion are Forrest Stan ley and Charles Clary. The picture cohcerns small town girl who came into some money, goes to a large city and attempts to re- form 8 we'll known society man whom She suspects as a crook. Some arnus- ing complications resulting are prom ised in the production. Go West, Young woman" two-reel comedy, and Prizma will also be shown

California Windstorm
 Wrecks Setting

Mistaking Q California windstorn recently as its cue to tumble for an earthquake scene, part of an Italian street at Metro Park. in the San Fran cisco Valley. collapsed delaying pro- duction of "The Hope." for two days.
 When Herbert Blache, the director went on the location the next morn ing he found the side wall of a two- story brick building wrecked. The entire ompanyE-including Jack Null hall, Marguerite de la Motte, Ruth Stonehouse, Frank Elliott and 100 Italian actors-waited two days while the building was replaced.
 The earthquake promises to be a spectacular scene in "The Hope,'' which A. s. Le Vino adapted from the great Drury Lane melodrama by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton. Other episodes in this colossal Metro production occur during a polo game, the running of the English Derby, and a battle in Khyber Pass, India.
 Technicians worked two weeks building the street of an Italian cit. at Metros sixty-three acre park. Rain prevented filming the earthquake on the Saturday planned for the scene and the following day wind caused one of the big walls to collapse.

 Mary Ann Dentler, the Poli Play CTS charming leading woman, is in her element in the role and Arthur Chatterdon, as the beloved but wronged husband, gives an excellent account of himself. Arthur Griffen was selected for a role which fits him perfectly, a reluctant bachelor and the husbands friend. The play opens at the home of the happyl ? couple but later transfers to the bachelor apartments of "Dodo.' The third act transpires in the boudoir of ''Dodo," where everything is ap- parently cleared up when she prom ises never to fiirt again.

Many critics have declared that Julia Claussen is clearly entitled to a place beside the other great singers whom Sweden has produced. notably Jenny Lind and Christine Nilsson. Madame C1aussen with her rich voice and fine artistry, and her striking phy- sique suggestive of Viking ancestry, has time and again moved audiences precisely as did her illustrious Scan- dinavian predecessors.
 One of Madame Claussen's most ef- fective operatic roles is Amneris in Aida" The deep impression that she invariably makes when singing this picturesque and dramatic role is suggested by an appreciation which John c. Wilcox wrote in the Rocky Mountain News:

 This original story by Oliver D. Bailey is as bright and wholesome, as charming and delightful as all the poetic fancies June Caprice's name has the power to conjure.

POLES.


 The fantastic glory of the stage and the screen is made apparent at Polls theatre, where the huge bill of photo play and vaudeville that has astound- ed thousands closes it's day run tonight.
 Probably no more attractive vaude- vile offering ever was put upon an American stage than Cleveland Bron- ner's fantastic revue "One Night" which in coloring theme, beautifully formed women, and in costume has made audiences gasp at the daring that is conceived in the alegorical de- piction amidst a riot of colorful lights and costumes.
 Just a Wife," the a11-star photo drama of the National Pictures Corp. offered as a solution to one angle of the great domestic triangle, is most pleasing and through five reels of modern pictorial excellence holds those who witness the acting as one marveling at modern social and art istic ingenuity.
 Tender Hearts and Hungry Lions, q special comedy presentation brings roars of laughter as the clowning cpl sodes of the reels give way to the release of a full troupe of lions in a modern clIy noIeI IhlS unusual ana daring effect is beyond any recently offered in Bridgeport.
 Marguerite Padula, queen of song stresses devoting her talents to boys, makes a last appearance tonight. ! Florence Hackett & Go. offer a novel | sketch entitled "The Test" Gordon & Germain on the trampo1ine do some darinx aerial stunts, and Davis and Chadwick offer a r1JDni0er fire of dance l and novel talk from the Big Town.

Wilcox, "came before this public stranger, and gave a performance of such vocal wealth and dramatic force that she earned a veritable ovation. l cannot recall in all my years of opera going such a compelling presentation of this role. Her voice is opulent of color, having the true contralto tim bre throughout it's range. and yet ringing out on tones above the staff with the freedom and boise of a neZzo soprano. Her vocal power seemed almost limitless, and she sus- tained cIimaxes in a way that was thrilling. Dramatically her perform ance was also on a high plane. She won honestly by dramatic singing such as one seldom hears.'
 Mime. Claussen appears at Polls Sunday afternoon, March 2S. at 2:15 o'clock.
