THEATRES
Al the Strand Theatre

From a modest young maid to an
eIoplnS Alliance Of a social parasite,
and then a neglected wife Of conven-
tence, are the rapid transitions ex-
perienced by Elaine Hammerstein as
Mavis Cole in her new Selznick pic
lure, 1.-THE Girl from Nowhere"
which last night opened a three day
engagement at the Strand theatre.
1t was a pleasing performance In
which the star furnished one of the
best characterizations of her career
The story tells of the adventures
OF a. young society girl who elopes
with a man who, before they can
be married, proves himself un-
worthy. The embarrassment OF her
position forces her to assume the
pseudo role of a sportsman's wife,
and that embarrassment Is soon
magnihed when her supposed-to-be
husband suddenly appears on the
scene and corroborates her claim.
Then complications heap themselves
one upon the other, until the tangle
seems almost hopeless. The out
come of it all is shown in a series of
dramatic scenes which end in an I'M
usually satisfying manner.
1.-THE Girl from Nowhere" was
written by Bradley King and direct
ed by George Archainbaud. William
B. Davidson gives a pleasing per-
Torrance in the leading male role,
and other members of the large cast
acquit themselves creditably.

delightful Picture at Ditmas

One of the most delightful pic
lures seen here in many weeks is
"Proxies," a Cosmopolitan produc-
ton released by Paramount which
was shown at the Ditmas theatre
yesterday. The theme deals with a
reformed crook who is determined
to live straight and who has a hard
time realizing his desire. He man.
ages to do so, however, despite his
many obstacles and finally wins out
In his great struggle.
According to the story of "Prox-
les" a $4,000 necklace was the
ante-nuptial present of Homer Carle-
ton to his fiancee, Carlotta barley,
daughter of a millionaire. The neck
lace is placed in Darley's safe for
e~afekeeping, but Glare Conway, a
maid of predatory instincts, learns
the combination and possesses her.
self of the adornment.
When Peter, a butler, her sweet
heart, catches her with the jewel
case in her possession, he forces her
to return 1t and reminds her of her
promise to live as straight as he, a
former convict, is doing. Thus a
double love story, embellished by
many thrills, the results of situations
that arise, develops. The story was
written by Frank r. Adams and the
director was George d. Baker. Nor
man Kerry and Zena Virginia Keefe
head an unusually clever cast of
players.
The program also includes the
great feature, "Infatuation of
Youth"

RED CROSS PUSHING
AID FOR SUFFERERS

The local chapter of the Red Cross
has already started work in connec-
ton with the campaign which the
American Red Cross will hold in con-
junction with the American Friends
Service Committee all over the Unit
ed States for clothing for the Euro
pean sufferers.
Preparations we're started for local
work at a meeting of the Red Cross
executive board last week and since
that time homes have been secured
as headquarters for the clothes to be
sent at any hour of the day or eve
ming.
The clothes will later be sen to
the people In Czecho Slovakia, Aus
tria. Hungary, Poland. the Balkan
States. Germany and Russia. where,
as most people know, there are many
suffering from lack of sufficient and
warm clothing while people in Amer
lea for want of knowing just how to
reach them put these much needed
articles away in the attic and later
throw them away.
The clothes which the Red Cross
are soliciting are clothes that are out
of fashion,, faded or discarded for
similar reasons. but they must be in
good condition, serviceable and warm
to merit the payment of the freight
charges across the ocean.
Those who volunteered their home
as headquarters where the clothes
will be accepted at any time are Mrs.
w. w. Oliver, rs Catalpa avenue;
Mrs. Arthur Stern. III Rector street;
Mrs. S. p. Starke, ATS Brace venue,
and other headquarters are at the
Community House, 446 tombstone
street and the Red Cross headquar-
tiers, Room PIT Raritan Building.
The local chapter are stressing
every effort to make a large collec-
ton and little difficulty should be
perienced in the city of Perth Amboy.
