POLL REVIEW.

CBy a Member of The Times Staff.)
 It could hardly be otherwise. Ma
 bel Taliaferro being on the Pon bill,
 was the head of it. She does a little act that is as refreshing as the dew that falls at sunrise. Her people, for she has two assoc1ates, know how
 to act, speak English with perfection,
 and have vehicle that in humor
 and interest is far beyond the ordin- ary vaudeville sketch. The little
 woman was well pleased with her re- ception in Bridgeport, and she gave the city a novelty in the way of per sifiage. Yes, Miss Taliaferro will aid one young man and one young woman, every night, to get into the movies. You must tell her that you want to go into the movies, and she will do the rest.
 Charles Ray, who is leading in The Times Popularity Contest, as the most | popular man star, was on the screen. He does "45 Minutes From Broad way" This is good, interesting picture. It is well photogra phed, and the fun is excellent Ray ap- ! pears as the clean, gentlemanly, in-
 nocent, affectionate hero, who is bound to come out on top. Of course l it couldn't happen, but what differ. 1 ence does that make? It's fun. A Conan play with Ray starring is a
 nice combination.

ChopZigs s NeW Comedy Named
 fI7he Kid''

All doubt as to the future disposi- tion of Charles Spencer Chaplin's much-diScuSSed and contested special production, ''11he Kid" was removed this week. This feature will form one of the series of approximations which is to be released as the Big Five" There have been many con jectures as to the final disposition of the Cha pEn picture, but it was not until this week that it's definite status became known.
 With the disposal of 'tThe Kid' and the return of MT. Chaplin to the Coast the way was cleared for the comple- ton of the remaining four of the eight short reel comedies for the pro duction of which the comedian has First National. Already things have started hurnming around the Chaplin studio, for Charlie has begun work on the fifth of these short comedies. The remaining four pictures of the | original Chaplin series will all be pro- duced in the stars studio in Los An geles. While the comedian granted a lease to MT. and Mrs. Carter de Ha- ven some months ago giving them full
 use of the studio, he reserved the right to resume work on his own pro- auctions in the plant at any time dur ing the term of the lease. MT. and
 Mrs. Carter de Haven are now com
 pleting The Girl in the Taxi but | the studio is commodious enough to accomnodat te the De Ravens and the 1 comedy king at the same time. The kid' is said to be the most
 ambitious effort ever attempted by
 Chaplin. It has probably caused
 more discussion before release than ever come into the market. At one
 time it was reported that the come
 dian had sold the American rights to
 it for $1,000,0O0.

One of the seasons finest produc- tions "P1easure Seekers" the John Lynch story with Elaine Hammer stein in the leading role, is the feature attraction at the Plaza theatre. One thing that impresses about Elaine Hammerstein is her ability to act nat ural under any. given set of circum stances. Her tranquility and repose are seldom ruffled, and although she is not given to any cyclonic outbursts Of emotion it cannot be denied but that she gets her dramatic points over so that the full power of the scene is brought out Patrons at yesterdays performance were loud in their praise of the late Select drama and many acclaim it the greatest she has ever appeared in.
 The vaudeville bill was top-notch and not a dull moment was eXper- fenced. "Oh, that Melody" a musical

IN THE THEATRES
LYRIC.

How the police obtain confessions from prisoners whether they are guilty CT not, is cleverly told in the story of '.The Third Degree" which is the attraction at the Lyric theater all next week. The process which was named the Third Degree" many years ago by prisoners who were it's victims is a system of sweating or cruelty of which it is said only the .~4ost hardened officers are capable. The nerves Of the prisoners are worn down to fine edge and in the end to escape further abuse they confess to almost anything they are asked. This is only one of the many features contained in 'The Third Degree which is c1ever1y interwoven with a nicely told love story and many thrill- ing situations calculated to furnish an interesting evenings entertain nlent.
 Today and tomorrow will see the closing performances of that laugh ing success, Up In Mabers Room"
 Jack London's picturized novel will be the attra ction at the photoplay concert Sunday night. "The Sea
 Wolf" is a thrilling dramatic pro- duction which has lost nothing in being dramatized for the films. Then there is a Sennett comedy, the ninth | episode, .'The Mystery of 13,'' the 1 Pathe News and the concert by the Lyric orchestra.

MOST CHERISHED GIFT.

Inquiry was made among the stars at Universal City recently to learn what each considered his or her most cherished Christmas gift It was found that Priscilla Dean cherishes most a volume of Lambs Tales From Shakespeare" presented to her when she was six years old by Joseph Jefferson. When notes were compared it was discovered that Frank Mayo's most cherished gift also came from Jefferson. It is an elaborate toy train which the fam ous actor gave Frank when the lat ter was but five years old. Mayo still has it.

comedy with Jack Henry, William Pollard, Beatrice Brooke and a com pany of pretty girls. differs from oth- CT acts of this type in that it has an excellent plot, some very bright and clean comedy, and the songs and dances are well put over by capable people. It was a big hit at last nights performance and has much merit. The Three Forbes Riddles took several encores and are about as cute and clever trio of kids as we have seen in the city. Cooper and Simons, the gladsome duo with a piano-Songologue were well received and have a fine routine. Jennier Bros. with some different" aerial work. gave the show a good start. The Chester comedy, "A Fresh Start had more laughs than most Chaplin's and , International News contains much of interest.

PARK.

Much has been said, and much has been read of English terrorism in Ireland. Stories of men being taken from their homes and shot military lorries tearing down streets, spouting liquid fire, shot and shell into people, whose only crime is love of country. Not country such as they now have, out a free and independent Ireland.
 These things have been talked of at public meetings and reported in newspapers, but never before has there been an opportunity of seeing what is actually taking place.

 As an added attraction, Shaur O'Farrell and his company of Irish singers, dancers and = pipers will sing real Irish songs anu dance real Irish dances. MT.

And then there's the woman who has fallen in love with the leading man (although she may never have seen him outside +the theatre.) And the young fellow who has his girl with him and he confides all through the show the fact that someday he will be an actor but much better than those they are watching. Then to clinch the bargain or rather to convince the dame that what he has been raving about is fact-he actu- ally buys her an ice cream soda, no matter how cold it may be!

EMPIRE.
Review No. 1.

When Mile Gabrielle in her close fitting circus costume, fell from the clouds on the screen at the Empire theatre last night and landed on the roof of the Rev. Jonathan Meek, the audience which came to see Pink Tights sat back for the usual TO- nance which ends in the minister marrying the little circus girl. But they were surprised to find that the scenario writer had strayed from the beaten path and been bold enough to create an entirely new plot. with diff ferent situations, new incidents and a finish which varies entirely from the accepted form.
 This photop1ay by J. U. Giesy, ad- apted for the screen by Philip Hurn proved one of the most delightful entertainments in some time. There is always something fascinating about a circus, and in Pink, Tights the atmosphere of the tanbark ring and the sideshow is so well carried out that one sees a circus and a pho- todrama at the same time.
 Gladys Walton and Jack Perrin are featured in this production and theil work in the respective roles of the little circus performer and the small town minister is so sincere and SC chan1ing that they deserve mucl praise for their splendid acting. Be sides, Miss Walton delights the eyt with her pretty face and girIish fig ure and displays considera ble gym nastic skill as the Magic of the cir GUS.

Frank Mayo, the screen star. is humorist. To prove it, let's tell a story. A young cub reporter was in terviewing Mayo the other day and as the cub happened to be a ''She'' Frank had patience with her. After she had repeated several questions a number of times she asked. Now, MT. Mayo, tell me about your youth full struggles" To which Frank re- piled: There isn't really much to tell The more I struggled, the harder father laid it on." That ended the interview.

GEORGES UNABLE
TO REFEREE HERE
Promoter Richard Will Not
Leave Frenchman Attend
Auto Races Either.

Hopes of having Georges Carpen-
tier here to referee the Harry Greb-
Chuck Virgins bout were shattered
Wednesday afternoon when Tex
Richard advised Promoter Gene
Kessler that Carpentier Will not be
permitted to attend the Indianap-
oils races and viii not. therefore,

Another big question regarding
the local exhibition was also settled
yesterday afternoon when both box
ers agreed upon Z. W. Dickerson,
Grand Rapids. president Of the
Central Baseball league. as referee.
Dickerson refereed both other bouts
between Greb and Virgins and did
a good job Of il. He is a man who
always gets all the action possible
out of the boxers.
All indications point TO a packed
house at Springbrook. The advance
sale is unusually large for this early
and tickets are in demand. The
arena will be entirely completed by
Friday evening and viii be under
guard Friday evening.
PrcIiminaries Draw Attention.
There is considerable interest
centered around the preliminary
bouts. The one in particular which

Of each boxers home town is the
one between Jack ennedy and Kid
Buck. Gary is sending a large dele
cation here for the fracas and they
are backing Kennedy, while Battle
Greek fans tout Buck as the com
ing bantamweight champion. Both
are clever. speedy boxers and hard
punchers. Kid Buck has stopped
every opponent he has faced 10
date. Kennedy has a victory over
frankie Mason. ollie O'Nel and
Bud Taylor, leading bantamweights.
The bout between Johnny KID
Fay. Niles. and Freddie Hoffman, is
also a popular one. The two put M

Harbor recently and won the ad-
niration Of fans there. Fay IS the
only boxer 20 go the limit in a con-
test with Hoffman.
