POli Review

A real good vaudeville bill Is on the boards at Polls. ''The Gold Diggers of 1921' featuring Ahol Tier as the star act and it shines. It is billed "a song, smile and style spectacle-'' As a spectacle it is law 1shly dressed; its songs and clever character things that bright audiences appreciate. Athol Tier is a lugubri- ous comedian who knows how to get the most out of cleverly written ly- rtics. His eccentric dancing is wierdly funny. ''The Gold Diggers of 1921" Is a high-class, extremely 'fy' topical piece of work.
 The added attraction on the bill Is Nakae and Company in an exhibition of Jiu-titsu. Powers and Wallace are a young man and a young wom- an who have 8 good act because they have good voices. Their cross-f1re conversation would register with bet ter effect if MT. Powers would cause seven-eights of the evasperating laughter with which he fnterpolates his lines. There is altogether too much of this cheap "business" in some vaudeville acts. Laughing is the function of an audience-not an actor, unless he desires to make him. self rediculous. Some one of these fine days, this sort of thing is goins to get the 'razzfng'' it deserves be cause judicious people do not wan

EMPIRE

There is a gripping melodrama at the Empire Theatre and for the per son who likes to be gripped from the minute a picture opens in a fas- cination of interest, attendance at one of the performances during tho next three days is advised. The produc- tion is Jim the Penman,' and what makes the picture so absorbing un- doubtedly is due to the fact that Lionel Barrymore plays the leading role.
 Lionel Barrymore, in the role of James Ralston, is a forger. He has . been born with an uncanny skill for writing other peoples signatures. He is the cashier in a bank. Then he signs a forged check to save her fath- CT, and the circumstances bring him into the clutches of a gang of inter- national crooks. It is jail or joining. He joins.
 Another clever forgery separates the girl he loves from the man to whom she is engaged. That Is the last time he uses his skill for personal require mentS,

WEST END.

Dealing with subtle human emo- tfons in a characteristic manner, Elinor Glyn's original picture written by her for Param ount and in which Gloria Swanson makes her debut as a star, ''The Great Moment was shown with no inconsiderable success at the West End theatre last night.
 'HThe Great Moment deals with the love trials of Nadine Pelham, a gypsy, portrayed by Miss Swanson, and Bayard Delaval. a mining engi- neer, played by Milton Stills. There are several intensely dramatic situa- tions all of which are artistically handled by the star and her support ing players. The picture, directed by Sam Wood, has a majesty all its own and its beauty Is irresistible. That 1t was fully appreciated by the audience, it's f1attering reception amply tndi- cated.
