PLAZA.

Those who have enjoyed reading Robert w. Chambers stories will welcome the news that his recent brilliant story, "The Restless Sex" is now showing at the Plaza theatre. Pretty Marion Davies, the former Follies star, is the featured player and she is supported by a capable cast including Ralph KeIlard and Carlyle Blackwell The story is a romance Of the impulsiveness of youth and has been picturized on an extremely elaborate scale. A ballroom scene, in which over six hundred take part, a millionaire camp in the Maine Woods, and other big scenes are shown. It broke all records at the Criterion theatre, New York, where it ran for more than two months.
