FLYING LIPS" AT THE ALCAZAR

When Thomas IT. Tnce selected ths cast for Lying Lips the tremendous drama of life and love, he chose mum Der of starred players who would com prise an all-star cast in every sense Of the word.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT'
 COMING-STRAND

Cecil B. DeMile recognized as the greatest delineator of modern life on the screen, has produced another mas tcrpiece in the opinion of reviewers who have been so fortunate as to view his latest drama of matrimony, Forbid den Fruit which comes to the Strand Monday to be shown all next week.
 Away from the touch of the mysterious that has characterized his last few dramas and the episodic form of story telling, in Forbidden Fruit" Mr.. De Mile has made another drama of domes- tic nfeicity that, while surpassing in dramatic intensity and interest his first great success, For Better or For Worse, nevertheless is somewhat of the same type.
 MT. DeMille has always been in the forefront of producers. and his stories represent the care and art of a man who knows life. Such is Forbidden Fruit a drama of real people whose destinies are developed as those of the human beings who live and love. This photoplay is the latest creation of Cecil B. DeMille, and the story is said to rise to great dramatic heights in the depletion of the sufferings of a young wife, who. married to a shiftless scoundrel ultimately finds happiness in the love of real man. The story is by Jeanie MacPherson. who is respon- sible for many of the scenarios of past DeMlle successes.
 The various roles are interpreted by such highly competent players as Agnes Ayers. Forrest Stanley and Clarence Burton who make their debut in a De- Mile picture. in this photoplaya Theo- dore Kosloff and Theodore Roberts, whose work in previous DeMlle produc- tions are well known and Kathlyn Will Hams, star in her own right. The cast throughout is excellent and the settings are all that could be demanded of a DeMille production, it is said

LISTEN, LESTER" AT THE
 JEFFERSON NEXT WEEK

No end Of color and sprightliness go to make Listen Lester" the John Cort musical comedy by Harry L. Cort, George E. Stoddard and Harold Orlob, which is the attraction at the Jefferson theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day nights and Wednesday matinee, so great a success that during an entire year at the Knickerbocker theatre in New York it played to capacity business.
 It is gay and breezy, with speed and variety, a variety that embraces all the essentials of good musical piece, in- cluding amusing comedy, tuneful music, good songs well sung. a dainty, dancey chorus, excellent staging and costuming and versatile dancing-so much of it that this play might be styled "a dancing musical comedy" The missing papers, good old remnant of melodrama, form the basis for the story, but they are served in a way that is different and altogether new and unexpected. with a lively galaxy of players surrounding them and adding a special dash and flavor.

 All directly or indirectly associated with the theatre have tried to probe the mystery of the magic spell.
 The present-day presentations of plays based upon mystery, the general interest manifested by the public in anything of a psychological nature, attests to the fact that many are in the grip of a psychic wave, that ignor- ance and superstition are giving place to an earnest desire to know what trustworthy evidence exists in behalf of the super-normal N0
