"Ircne" Here Tonight

Discriminating theatregoers will

much heralded and long waited for
engagement of the Vanderbilt Pro-
aucing Company's production of the
great international musical comedy
Irene" which comes to the Ma
jestic theatre tonight only.
Irene" is an American product,
written by James Montgomery, with
music by Harry Tierney and lyrics
by Joseph Mccarthy. 1t was pro-
duced at the Vanderbilt theatre in
New York something over a year ago
and is still playing to capacity bust
ness at the popular playhouse; it has
since been presented at the Empire
theatre in London. also In Paris and
Melbourne, Australia, where three
American. companies are duplicating
the success the piece has made in
this country. "Irene"tells a pretty
love story with Genes laid in New
York city. 1t has twenty catchy
musical numbers, and will be offered

THEATRES
At the Grand o d

Antonio Moreno has splendid OPP
portunities to display his athletic
training and superb physical devol-
opment in The Island of Regenera-
ton" which will be shown at the
Grand theatre on Friday and Satur-
day. The play, which is based on
the novel by the Rev. Cyrus Town
send Brady, tells the story of a six
year-old boy who is cast on an un-
Inhabited island in the South Seas
and lives there alone for twenty
years. Mr.. Moreno appears as the
boy grown to manhood.
Quite naturally, knowing practi-
cally nothing of civilization, the man
Is unshaven and unshorn. His scant
clothing is made of grasses and
leaves and his mode of living most
primitive, but his physical develop
ment is almost abnormal.
Then comes the girl, also a cast
away, and all is changed. In the two
years they remain on the island she
makes a man of him. and when help
reaches them and he is able to leave
the island, a barber and a tailor
work wonders. Mr.. Moreno's por-
trayal of the man who gradually
awakens tS the realization that
there is another world than his own
little island is splendidly done.

In for the movies and for serious
drama simultaneously, and for two
months during the spring they were
to be seen every day at the Real
art studio on Long Island, super

One day their friend, Morris Gest,
producer of "Chu Chin Chow"
"Aphrcdite," Mecca" Agar and
other ~stupendous stage spectacles,
visited the studio to watch proceed
tngs.
Now Mr.. Gest is a demon for de-
tails; accuracy is his middle name,
n like his famous papa-in-law,
David Belasco, nothing is too small
to be reproduced exactly in his stage
effects.
So the enthusiastic Hattons
watched his non-committa1 face
while he gave the Ellis Island de-
tention room setting of their picture
the once-over. Then they implored
his verdict.

she has ever done. This picture

ance with a beautiful production
and a notable cast. Ladies Night

America, and Charlton Andrews. 1t

three luckless young men who
started off to have a good time and
found themselves in a series of di-

they maintain from the first curtain

honor of the longest run of any New
York production for the season of
1920-1921. Mr.. Woods has given
the play a beautiful production and

Remember the dollar-a-year men =?
There were lots of them during
the war and they did a great service
for the country. Walter Woods saw
in this an idea for a humorous photo
play for Rosco Fatty" Arbuckle
and wrote, 1.-The Dollar a Year Man"
This was shown at the Ditmas Thea
ire yesterday with excellent results.
The story concerns the visit of a
Prince to a California coast town,
with the local yacht club appointed
as host. Fearful lest Pinney, their
only plebian member. should slap
their royal guest on the back. the
club members lead him off on a
trumped up kidnapping plot. But the
plot develops into a real n and
Pinney, who is an amateur detective
is given a chance to really show what
he a do in the detecting line. He
rescues the Prince and then ~joyously
slaps him on the back all during the
ensuing banquet. and to the surprise
of the club members. the Prince
slaps back. Fatty is at his best in
this new picture.
A simple, warm hearted Swedish
sailor whose trust in women gets him
into difficulties is the role played by
Will Rogers in Guile of Women"
also shown at this theatre. It's a
comedy rich in heart interest and
that mellow humor which gives Rog-
ers one of the best opportunities of
his brilliant career.

Then it that they permitted the old love

After all, what could be more beautiful than this

resist temptation to do that which a good part
of society might have condoned and even praised.
Age? Why, that has part in preventing
romance. Look at John Shell of Greasy Greek,
KY, said to be the country's oldest man, who
claims to have lived in three centuries, having
been born 131 years ago. John just can't recall
how many wives he has survived, but his latest,

that's just what happened to John 10 days ago.
He is so healthy that he was taken to Chicago
