ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL HIT
MADE BY RUTH GORDON.

Happiness is Just looking forward to

mes would help liven your state of mind
tOddle over to English's this week and
see Happiness" according to J. Hartley
Manners, and absorb a few Of Jenny's
novel ideas for being happy.
The play deals Nth two blase bored
people, who have everything that they
could wish for except the vital thing.

impertinence IN donning her gown, she
orders the clothes back to the mOdiste,
but the tears Of Jenny melt her cOldness
and she becomes vitality interested In the
shabby little girl, who is happy on 50
week with a delicate mother to sup
port. Jenny's philosophy Of life brings
the wealthy woman to a realization Of
the wOrthlessness' Of herself and the
emptiness Of her life. After having Jenny

week she becomes inspired by the child

together with the changes wrought IN
the lives Of the two money-burdened So
ciety folk, all go toward making a
healthy, happy tale
Ruth Gordon as the sunny, imagina-
tive Jenny. with her odd little awkward
gestures and gay little smile, was de-
cidedly pleasing. In the childish role her
characteristic breathlessness and youthful
appearance were most satisfactory.
Gregory Kelly as the lively Irlshman,
with his touch OF impudence and con-
ceit, gave a nice reading Of his role.
Grace Hayle proved herself careful
actress in her Characterization Of Mrs.
Chrystal- Pole, and Byron Beasley as the
nonchalant, slow minded Englishman,
Philip Chandes, was, excellent. Florence
Murphy as the volatile, empty headed
Miss Perkins, brought several good
laughs from her hearers. Angela Ogden
gave a good portrayal OF the fragile
mother. The cast as a whole was in good
form. the action moved smoothly and
swiftly, and the settings were nicely
arranged. 1t is well worth seeing.

GAUL DOES A LOT OF KISSES IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES
Harmony Lyc-Whney

At last. girls, Mr.. George Gaul has a
role in which he plants a harvest or
kisses and wins a wife.
All of this is happening at the Murat
this week in Civilian Clothes" which
has never been seen before on the local
stage. oh, yes, it has been done in the
movies. 1t was a knockout on the screen
and in the hands Of Mr.. Gaul, Regina
Wallace, John Wray, Elizabeth Patter-
son and Beatrice Maude it is victory
in entertainment.
OF course, the topic of conversation
around town this week is going to De
how Gaul makes love to Regina Wallace
and would be-love to Beatrice Maude In
this play. In the words of a delightful
little feminine party sitting near me,
He is too lovely for words"
And probably that expresses the femi-
nine viewpoint. The masculine element
Of the audience likes Gaul in a lover
role because he plays 1t as only a real
man could play it. He rings true every
minute that he is on the stage. He has
many tricks of the profession, but Gaul
is not theatrical. He puts the spark of
life and manhood in every character
which he creates on the stage.
His love scenes are splendid examples
Of refined acting. The scene following
his first appearance in this comedy has
not been eQualed for tenderness, SINGER
ity and fine acting within the last eight
cen months of my experience In looking
over shows here. I could extend the
time to other fields. but it is not neces-
sary.
believe that Regina Wallace has her
first big chance to show what she can
really do in this comedy. Many prob
ably thought she had a big chance in
1.-THE Wolf, but in this comedy she has
a chance to show the sweeter and more
quiet qualities which she possesses.
Every one should know the story of
Civilian Clothes" and 1t is not necessary
to repeat it here. The big dinner scene
is splendidly handled, especially by Mr..
Gaul Elizabeth Patterson, Miss Wallace,
Mr.. Bowker and Beatrice Maude as the
widow who knows how to "get" a hus-
band. This is Miss Maude's first appear
ance this season. James Morgan, Grace
Kiechle and Walter Vonnegut are also
making their first appearances with the
Walker company this season. Helen
Burch and Lucille Nikolas are new mem
bers Of the company.
Miss Patterson again has an enjoyable
mother role and she has a chance to wear
a beautiful evening gown. Mr.. Bowker
is as successful in evening attire as he
was as the rough Scotchman in "The
Wolf" John Wray again has a fat COM
edy part and does his ''souse' scene with
a suggestion that only a good actor can
do such ancient" scenes.
There was a slight confusion Of lines
last night but this can be overlooked
as long as Mr. Gaul gives US an example
Of perfect acting.
Opinion: Civilian Clothes is the
most enjoyable experience Of the cur
rent stock season.

parts in translating their dreams into
world progress.
When Balfour arrived the quiet hours
for discussion and entertainment seemed
hitting. When Northcliffe came over ha
said with a business-like fnality: II am
not her to talk. l am engaged In the
task OF organization, which precludes
my accepting this country's offers of
hospitality which have poured in on me
since my arrival. l hope to gather new
ideas for transmission to England and
shall be glad to answer any question
bearing upon the lessons to be learned
from any mistakes Great Britain and her
allies have made since the time when they
were so Unexpectedly plunged into this
horrible carnage" In other words, IN
journalistic language, it was time to go
to press, and discussion and It's ameni-
ties must wait until the paper is printed.
Then-who was more delightful company
than the remarkable British editorl
BALFoUR's PHILOsoPHIO
UTTERANCE.
Contrast the above up-to-date utterancs
with what the philosophical Mr.. Balfour
said upon his arrival; "On behalf Of my
countrymen, let me express our gratitude
for all that the citizens Of the United
States of America have done to mitigate
the lot Of those who In the allied cOun-
tries have suffered from the cruelties OF
the most deliberately cruel Of all wars"
And again, THAT this great people
should have thrown themselves whole
heartedly into this mighty struggle, pre-
pared for all the efforts and sacrifices
that may be required to win success for
this most righteous cause, is sn event
at once so happy and so momentous that
only the historian Of the future will be

Great Britain sent other great men to
hold other conferences so that our team
! work would be perfect, but Balfour and
| Northclife came in the first days OF our
| entrance into the war; they brought US
| the inside truths Of a serious situation,
and their counsel was then and will al
ways be regarded as of great value to

ness of action by the two English-speak-

he Fairly oozed vitality and information
| on any topic that might come up. Some
people associate energy with quick
action, behind which is lacking thor

| edge. The career Of Northcliffe refutes
lthis popular misconception. His largo
grasp Of the great problems enabled him
to coordinate British efforts here in a
way greatly to facilitate the supplies to
the armies and the civilian population.
As a fellow journalist it was a happiness
to come in such close touch as to ap-
! praise at its full value the big service
| he rendered here, as we'll as in his own
country, and in Europe to cause which
called forth in the highest degree his re-
markable resourse and initiative.

AND THE EDITOR
LOST A SCOOP"

As he was presented TO Mr.. Balfour the
editor thought to be agreeable by speak
ing of the deep interest with which he
had read Mr.. Balfour's work on "Philoso-
ply" or "The Future Life" I've forgot
ten which. It was a fatal error, for.
once launched upon his favorite topic,
Mr. Baifour did not pause for fifteen
minutes AT the end of that time the
American Journalist was shown out. Not
one Of his questions had been even
asked, ne had lost his scoop interview,
and was bemoaning his bluLder Of pay
ing a compliment before proceeding to
business. But afterwards, telling the In
cident to a friend. the American said !:
"It was worth losing the story to hear

way. He seemed to rise from the
plains TO the heights and to carry you
into a new world Of speculation and
thought and faith which you did not
believe any man had fathomed."

"THE PASSION FLOWER"
NOW AT THE RIAI.Tn

NOW al III k1ALIO.
Nance O'Neil has played "The Passion
Flower" on the stage for the last year
with much success Because of its
marked dramatic situations, the movie
producers were eager to get it for the
screen. After some effort 1t was OBJ
tanned for Norma Talmadge and is now
on view at the Rialto the first half OF
the week.
Miss Talmadge plays the role Of
Spanish daughter who rebels at the
thought of her mother re-marrying
shortly after the death of her first hus-
band. The daughter for years refuses
to recognize her mothers second hus-
band as father" This situation results
in three tragedies until the wife discov-
ers the awful fact and removes the hus-
band from the household.
The story is a dramatic one and the
success with which the producer has
been able to suggest the element Of sus--
penser adds greatly to the value Of the
picture.
This department has previously listed
"The Passion Flower as one of the
twelve best movies Of the year.

problems and talked about whatever was
uppermost. But he relied on Gen. Tom
Bridges "a fine soldier and fine man he

might arise was at his elbow.
And those experts were more than
experts. They were masters in their
line, competent to confer and conclude
with the officials here who were charged
with Ike duties by the American Govern
ment
Mr.. Balfour never lost sight Of the one
big thing he came for, he never fogot
the interest of his country, but he left to
his able associates the carrying out of
the many details and amazingly big
transactions which full cooperation re-
quired.

OF course talked to him mostly about
the navy and navy operations and naval
policies IN the war. He had so recently
directed the British navy that his knowl-
edge was full and interesting. Like most
Englishmen with whom I talked during
the war. Mr.. Balfour was frankly grave.
He irradiated none OF the optimism
which fairly dazzles one when Lloyd
George talks. He did not look glad or
Joyous.
I am writing Of him now as he ap-
peared in those dark days after years Of
difficult and battling warfare. His tall
form was bent as II with the burdens of
tho world. Every part Of his face and
body told Of the weight Of responsible
ities upon him. But there was Tilt in
his eye when he smiled that made you
wish yoa could have known him when
wars alarms did not make gravity sit
like n master upon his spirits.
A short time before he arrived I heard
a story wAlch I never doubted after
talking with Mr.. Balfour. The story was
that an American journalist visiting Lon
don desired for his paper above all things
an interview with Mr. Balfour, and
framed some leading questions he wished
to ask At length an appointment was
obtained with this condition: "At the
end Of fifteen minutes your audience
must terminate"

ar and philosopher. He looked the stu
dent, not the administrator, certainly not
man with whom bloody" could be
associated. He had a calm, rather ma
jestic bearing, but you felt that he could
not harm fly.
Balfour impressed me by his reserve
power He always seemed to be telling
you only little Of what he knew. You
felt his larGeness of knowledge, his
breadth Of judgment, his clarity and his
charity. He had learned so much he
could not be dogmatic. 1t was hard to
tell whether you liked him best when
he was talking or when he was listen
ing. There was a certain charm in his
drawing you out that made you feel at
once that he was deeply interested in
what you were saying but when he was
answering your inquiries his fund Of in
formation was so ready and accurate
that you understood his place of primacy
when world leaders discussed big prob
lens with him. Conditions in Egypt or
India or Mesopotamia were as familiar
to him as those in his own neighborhOod.
