NntionnI-tsThe Storm -

A melodrama in four acts by Langdon Nc
Cormick; play staged by Mrs. Trinble Brad
ley; electrical and scenic effects devised By
Langdon Mccormick.
Burr Winton, .'.,'.......,....Be Ben TaGEsrt
David stewart. ERIC Maxon
Maniteekwa. wa...........,. Charles Henderson
Jacques Packard. ............. Joseph Driscoll
Manette Fachard. ....... Katharine Hayden
In this story set in the woods Of
the great Northwest where men are
sturdy and frank and love is 'homely
but honest, Langdon Mccormick has
injected all the thrills of the melo-
drama of earlier days with all its
appeal and deep heart interest.
One will find nothing strikingly
original in the theme Of the human
triangle as worked out in the lonely
snowbound country, but the deep
dyed villain is present, the poor but
honest hero, the attractive and in
nocent girl who must needs choose
between the two, and these ingredi-
ents are skillfully blended to create
the expected tense situations, to in
trigue sympathy for the cause of
righteousness and incidentally af-
ford an opportunity for some strik-
ingly beautiful and. realistic scenic
effects.
Such advance reputation as pre-
coded THE Storm" made much of
the forest fire scene, which marks
the climax of the third act and is
rated as a triumph of stage realism.
The encomiums have been worthily
bestowed for the effect is indeed
striking and gives a genuine pic
torial idea of the grandeur and ter
ror of a confiagration as it sweeps
huge forests. The blizzard scene,
which precedes the first act curtain,
is also picturesque and realistic.
Katherine Hayden offers a charm
ingly competent characterization as
"Manette Packard" the innocent girl
of the North Country, compelled by
the rigors of the weather to spend
six months in the snow bound hut
Of the two miners, while both de-
velop strong affections that fire.
quently threaten to end disastrously.
As Burr Winton," the uneducated
but noble suitor who triumphs after
his qualities have stood the test of
fire, Ben Taggart made the most of
an appealing role. Eric Maxon, the
unholy sweetheart, made a most
satisfactory villain, and the Indian
with a penchant for expression in
grunts was pleasingly>Portrayed by
Charles Henderson.
For those who relish a good old
fashioned thrilI-and almost every
body does-''The Storm" is a dra-
matte otering which should not be
missed

THE CAST
by EARLE DORSEY.

1t is possible. ] suppose, to string
out a. ten-minute burlesque sketch
over two hours and forty minutes
Of playing time and call the result
a musical comedy. Mack Hilliard,
for example, has done 1t in Peggy"
but that doesn't mean we all will.
Peggy represents the efforts of
producer who started out to en-
rich the musical comedy stage and
wound up with a burlesque show.
Worse yet, it's not a good bur-
lesque show. A burlesque show, for
instance, needs at least one come
dian. 1t ne eds a musical score. And
at least a couple OF novelties to
cover up the action when the steam
runs low. Fancy. then, a musical
comedy that lacks even burlesque
essentials. For that's Peggy"
However. one should be construc-
tive; something may yet be done
with Peggy" Fred CarylTs bur-
lesque sketch should be sold to Rose
Sydell-if Rose will buy it-and a
new story written to motivate the
show. Caryll's lyrics, which have
rhyme II OF reason, should be dis
carded and a new set figured out.
Caryll, in fact, seems the worst
offender. His book" is a collection
Of venerable gags" there is barely
a trace of anything resembling sit
uation comedy. In his effort to con-
ceal shocking paucity OF ideas his
jokes have been attenuated to
point where the audience tiresomely
waits from thirty seconds to two
minutes for the jokes to catch up.
Lou Dymond, who wrote the mu-
sic, is a vastly better director than
composer. There's monotonous
rhythm evident in his stuff that
rarely attains to the point of tune
fulness. No cast could bring even
fieeting note of sincerity to a col
lection of stage caricatures such as
a Relentless Rudolph villain, a
stage daddy" who supports eight
chorus girls in the first act and
works in a hat shop in the second
without change in his finances: a
wearisome race track gambler NUT
tering the old jargOn about CrocU-
die coming home in the fifth.
Virginia Eastman is a pretty girl
with a cooling voice. Russell Mack
was effective as a wireless operator
in The New Dictator" "Skeets"
Gallagher is probably funny when
he gets a chance, but that chance is
not inherent in Peggy" which, by

Lord Mayor O'Callaghan explained
that the primary object of his visit
to the United States is to appear
before the Committee of 100 in
Washington on January IT. He
ranked second in Importance his
mission to appeal for aid of the
Irish, who are suffering because of
the campaign of the British.
To Urge Popular Sympathy.
The lord mayor made no secret of
the fact that while in the United
States he would make every effort
to impress upon. the citizens of this
country sentiment that would bring
action to bear upon England to
grant Ireland her freedom.

Moore's
Devils"

A photodrama that grips ones in
terest and holds from start to finish
is whispering Devils" adapted
from the stage play Of Henry Ar
thur Jones, the brilliant English
playwright. and starring Conway
Tearle and Rosemary Theby, and
presented for the first time in this
city at Moore's Garden Theater yes
terday.
The story deals with the struggle
of man against temptation, and
proved to the satisfaction of a de-
lighted audience that Conway Tearle
is one of the most forceful leading
men on the screen today. Laid in
one of the most beautiful spots Of
the British Isles-the Western coast
bordering on the Irish sea, the action
shows Michael Faversham. the viii
lage vicar engaged in ministering to
the needs of his parish.
Audrey Lesden, played by Rose
mary Theby, comes into his life as a
woman seeking fOrgetfulness of her
unhappy married life The minister
is struck by her charm but forces
all thoughts of beautiful women
from his mind. His is a stern char
acter and his preaChments are like
wise, and when a girl in the parish
apparently sins, although she ac-
tually is not guilty, he forces her to
confess her transgression in public.
Gradually the wears love for Au-
drey becomes Irresistible and one
night on an island to which he had
retired for rest nd prayer. he meets
her alone, and tells her of his love,
only to learn afterwards that she is
a married woman. undivorCed, whose
husband is still living He cannot
preach purity any more and at the
next service he makes a public con-
1ession of his sin, just as he forced
the girl to do previously, leaves the
parish and goes to work among the
poor How happiness eventually
comes to all concerned forms a most
powerful and dramatic climax.

Moore's Rialto-@mnestones..

''Milestones," Goldwyn's photo
play adaptation of the popular stage
success by Arnold Bennett and Ed
ward Knoblock, opened a weeks en-
gagement at Moore's Rialto Thea
ter yesterday with a capacity audi
ence on hand to greet the premier
showing.
The finished production combines
high degree of screen artistry
with an extremely origina! plot, re-
plete with pathos and human in
terest, shrewd touches Of wit and
an accurate reproduction of cos
tunes and atmosphere of the three
periods covered in the story which
reflects great credit upon those who
had hand in It's making. The
story, covering the ceaseless con-
fict between progressive and con-
servative ideas, is sklllfully out
lined, suspense we'll maintained and
the element of romance beautifully
developed.
Covering three periods as stated,
1850, 1885 and 1910, the fortunes of
the Rhead and Sibley families are
closely followed. Old Sir Richard
Sibley derides modern progress and
mocks John Rhead's idea that iron
ships will be practical Johns sis
ter, Gertrude, is engaged to Sam
Sibley, who also opposes Johns
ideas John elopes with Rose Sib-
ley; Gertrude breaks her engage
ment with Sam. In the 1885 episode,
Gertrude. still a single woman, ad-
vises Emily, daughter Of Rose and
John, to marry Preece, the man she
loves, but, the older order still rul-
ing, she follows her fathers de-
mands and marries old Lord Monk
hurst.
In 1910 old Sir John, continuing
in his attempt to rule the lives Of
his family, opposes the proposed
marriage Of his granddaughter. Mu-
riel, to Richard Sibley, young en-
gineer. But Muriel's modern inde-
Dendence wins, and in addition,
Emily and Preece are united at last.
Lord Minkhurst having died, and
old Sir John is finally forced to ad-
init that he has been wrong in try
ing to govern the lives and desires
of those who surround him.
Lewis Stone, Alice Hollister, Mary
Alden and Gertrude Robinson have
prominent roles.
Director Breeskin offers a most
appealing interpretative overture;
Lakes Evolution Of Dixie. Sub
sldiary attractions include "Torchy
Mixes In" Bruce scenic, and an ex-
elusive showing of Fox News.

"Earthbound" is a story Of pas
sion, love and supernatural mys-
terry. Basil King advances the the
ory that man, after death, is held
chained to his old and distasteful
earthly conditions until the wrong
he did in life has been righted by
agencies other than his own.
He introduces his characters as
two young college lads who form
a compact to abide by a creed OF
utter materiality, in which God, sin
and other idealistic concepts have
no part. The creed, however. inter
poses no bar to one Of the members

dent advances to the wife Of his
friend, which are returned. Fol
this the aggrieved husband shoots
him, and. too proud to involve his
erring wife, he faces the gallows
mutely. King represents the muir
dered man as chained to his home

thus until the wrong of his lifetime
is wiped out. II is working out OF
this inherent wrong that releases
the dead mans spirit and permits
the novelist to bring his tale to a
