METROPOLITAN-"The Idle
~ Class"

Charles Chaplin will be the picture
star at Crandalrs Metropolitan Thea
ter this week, beginning this after
noon, in his latest First National
production, The Idle Glass;" which is
said to mark the high point of his
achievement as an author-producer
of his own vehicles. 1t is said to be
as much an innovation for its star
as was "The Kid" though in fewer
reels. In one character, Charlie is a
vagabond; in the other, fashionable
young man. married to an exacting
spouse. who plunges him into many
difficulties. n is not fair to Mr..
Chaplin nor to his admirers to at
tempt, in advance, to point out in de-
tail how he makes his fun. A Chaplin
comedy is made to be seen. not de-
scribed. Clarence f. Badgers film
version of Edward f. Kidder's famous
play, "A Poor Relation" featuring
Will Rogers in the title role. will be
shown also. Its story concerns a
poverty-stricken philosopher Of the
slums whose kindly nature finally
won the recognition of wealthy
relative. The program will be com
pleted by the usual musical and film
attractions.

comedy by Booth Harrington. the

isn't in any sense of the word a
purist, but who just doesn't care to
listen to the talk or watch the go

farce or sex problem play. Is en-
couraged to hope that possibly the
producing managers, or some OF them
at any rate, have at least remembered
his existence.
There are men-intellectual, edu-
Gated men, too-who like to read a
thrilling detective story now and

style that entities it to be classed
as literature" But only now and
then. They don't want to confine
their fiction reading exclusively to
sort of stuff. They want bit of
Thackeray, say, or Dickens, or
clair, or even Meredith. once in a
while anyway. The publishers know
this and they supply both kinds.
But apparently the producing man
ager in the theater thinks that all his
patrons are tarred with the same
brush. He produces a bedroom farce
or a sex problem play and the public
fiocks to see it. so" he says, that S

NATIONAL-Billie Burke.

Miss Billie Burke comes to the Ma
tional Theater tomorrow night for the
premiere of 1.-The Intimate Strangers ~
a new comedy by Booth Harrington.
Miss Burke hasn't played in Wash
ington for several seasons-she hasn't
been playing anywhere except now and
then in the movies" Tarkington's big
stage success, Clarence" was done
here first, and Washington tbeater-
goers have pleasant memories of ii
and its whimsical wit.
The story Of 1.-THE Intimate Strangers
is not to be told in advance or even
suggested. 1t is a typical Harrington
story told in the typical Harrington way
It's dialogue is filled with kindly humor
and its situations are dramatic, but not
theatric. 1t may be said, too, that its
scenes are all laid in New York state
nowhere near the city-and that its
characters belong to that class of citi-
zens the author knows best and likes
best to draw.
In the cast with Miss Burke will be
Alfred Lunt and Glenn Hunter, both
pleasantly remembered here from
"Clarence"; Frances Howard, Elizabeth
Patterson, Clare Weldon, Charles Able
and Frank J. Kirk. The production is
made and presented by Erlanger, Dill
lingham and Ziegfeld.'

consideration-grow so tired. not to
say nauseated, that they quit going

A lot of the people of this class
went to see Mrs. Fiske last week
in months. most likely-and they
liked it. and they'll go again this
week. and they'll take lot of their
friends with them. Miss Burke's play.
of course, is still an unknown guam

and that is an assurance that 1t is
something in the shape of high COM

ago to ''go into the movies" she had
proved her talent as comedlenne.
Since then she has appeared twice
once in The Marriage q Conven-
ience" and once in Caesars Wife
and on both occasions she gave evil
dence that she still had the talent.
All it required was use to make II

Now she is coming back in Booth

the hope that she will continue to
play The American theater needs

public that wants or seems to want
that kind of thing on the stage. There

the managers seem to think-that
