fifteen musical numbers. which the

There are an unusual number and

Building Statistics.

With 80 cities in the United States
reporting permits involving an es-
timated expenditure of sso.s27,44S,
the February building statistics are
the most favorable that have ap-
peared in several months. Not since
last September. in fact. have the
permits of any one month exceeded
those of February, and the total is
practically so per cent larger than
was recorded in January. Compar-
ing with the latter period, the In
crease in Greater New York is 11s.s
per cent. and all of the five boroughs
show more or less gain. the most
striking expansion occurring in
Manhattan. While the value Of the
months permits at all points re.
porting is 1877 per cent smaller than
the amount for February, 1920, this
decrease contrasts sharply with jan
uary's reduction of more than So
per cent.

Moore's Garden-Gladys walton In
.An Dslled Up.v

All Dolled Up" the Universal
photodrsma which opened a four
day engagement at Moore's Garden
Theater yesterday, has everything
that exacting screen fans like to
see, at the same time giving Gladys
Walton, the star. her best role to
date and the audience its first
glimpse of Florence Turner. one of
the original stellar lights of the
silent drama, in several years.
The story depicted Is logical, told
with dramatic punch. and closes
with a climax that winds up the
evening with a thrill. Miss walton

undoubtedly go far toward winning
those who have not already fallen

Crandalrs-"Tbe Truth About Hus-
bands.n

Another sterling First National
attraction opened a weeks run at
Crandall's Theater yesterday. where
the chief feature of the bill Is The
Truth About Husbands" film
version of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's
successful stage play. The Proni-
gate"
THE Truth About Husbands" is a
powerful drama of present day So
ciety. The plot threads are cleverly
intertwined. The characters are
convincingly portrayed by a stellar
cast led by May McAvoy and Arthur
Rankin. The production is one of
magnihcence and obvious cost, the
scenes Of the revelry in a famous
resort in Rome being especially in
dicative Of the lavish expenditure.
Dunstan Renshaw was fashion
able bachelor and dilletante of large
fortune. Under an assumed name he
meets Janet Preece, librarian liv-
ing In a suburb. with whom he
enters into an entangling filtration.
Later he marries Leslie Brownell. a
young society girl, and goes abroad
with her. Janet is engaged as Sec
retary to Mrs. Stonehay. whose
daughter is an intimate friend Of
Leslie's. and is taken abroad with
the Stonehay family. Irene Stone
hay is engaged to Lord Dexter Ran
dolph. an old acquaintance of Dun
stan's. Dunstan and Lord Randolph
visit a notorious cabaret in Rome.
The former takes no part in the
Bscchanalian revels there, although
Leslie subsequently learns that Q
man whose initials were ID. r." was
an active participant in the gayety.
From this complicated situation Is
evolved the events that lead to the
smashing climax Of the play.

Thomas Meighan. the popular and
powerful photoplay star. is seen as
the featured screen player at Loew's
Palace Theater this week beginning
yesterday afternoon. in THE Frontier
Of the Stars" Charles Maigne's screen
production for Paramount of the
story of the same name by Albert
Payson Terhune.
In this production, Mr.. Meighan
assumes a role that is strongly and
grippingIy contrasted with that
enacted by Faire Binney. The story
Is a story of regeneration, as fas-
cinating and galvanic in the develop
ment of it's dramatic tension and its
romantic interest as the best of the
screen stories the current season
and resembling. in many essential
particulars. that powerful epic of the
silver sheet, The Miracle Man.
In this latest Charles Maigne pro-
duction, Mr.. Meighan is pictured as
q man VIII ois a total stranger to
all else save the seamy side OF ex-
istence. He is a production of a
great city. relentless as the city
itself and knowing only one brutal
law. to prey upon weaker humanity.
In clash with the authorities, he
is driven to the roof of a tenement.
where he meets and Is befriended
by girl of the Ghetto. whom nature
has denied a vision of anything in
life but the pure and the innocent.
Between these two a gripping and
poignant love affair springs into life
