and Miss Gladys George arc also
featured in this Paramount produc-
ton. Unlike most film stories, the
hero and heroine are married before
many feet Of celluloid are eased from

budding young genius, after his mar
rage, begins to ease up on his liter
airy output and substitutes the prod

He also pens silly missives TO female
owners Of pet dogs which, In this
modern day. should not be held
against him. At the end Of two reels
Meighan is so depressed he attempts
10 drown his sorrows in n perfectly
innocent lake. Fortunately a blind
girl beats him TO the pool, and his
conscience compels him to rescue her.

THE NEW PLAYS
"The White Villa"
AcuteIy Feminine
BY CHARLES DARNTON

It Is just as well, perhaps, that
h1,he White villa" Is restricted to
matinee performances at the Blunge
Ebeatre. for this play. made from
sphe Dangerous Age" by Karen
mchaelis, and given for the firyt time
yesterday afternoon. Is more likely to
be understood by women than by
men. Still, an audience made up
largely OF women must have per-
picked the players by laughing in the
AklrOng places.
In it's time--a good many years
hgO-'SThe Dangerous Age" came as
bognething OF a shock to readers. It's
lrankness approached a revelation.
To-day It may be what every woman
Knows. At any rate, Edith Ellis has
Brought It to the stage, with the
Nd Of The Players Fellowship, and
h still interesting even though 1t
Ray not have the qualities that make
Dor success in n play.
First of all. It Is necessary to real
koe the scandinavian mood of a
bOnlan who divorces her husband
biTnply because no is a bore to her
Ind then tries to find freedom OF life
Ind beauty OF soul on a lonely island.
Bhe holds herself aloof from the
foung architect of her white villa,
bnly TO find herself watching a gar
aener whom the man-crazy cook
hotes upon. Then she calls the young
inan back to her. but his perfunctory
kiss makes her realize that she has
hDSt him. BY this time his fancy has
turned TO her slim maid. Elsie has
\ Nlgnar 40
weight than is good for romance.
Losing the architect, she sends for
her former husband, believing he will
have her again. But he tells her that
be Is about to marry nineteenryear-
Old charmer. Elsie then knows she
~ done for-that she will be COM
PEELED to 1.-Two her remaining years
alone. The woman has reached the
dangerous age of forty-odd when she
lCeels the need of a man and can't
!. t-St one. There Is something pathO-
logical in her morbid state, and,
grimly enough, her tragedy is Of her
own making.
But there were lighter phases, Of
ehe character to which Lucille Wat
Bon brought flashing humor and keen
understanding. She gave a brilliant
Performance till nearly the end Of the
play when she vcrged upon hysteria.
But, all in all, Miss Watson did the
hnest work of her notable career.
Though Doris Kenyon told the story
cf the maid badly, she was attractive
Md clever in her uirtatious moments.
Anita Roth broadened the part OF the
book, evidently for purposes Of
Comic relief" and was accordingly
amusing. Olive Oliver also stressed
somewhat the role Of a loveless
WidoS. Edward Ellis seemed tC
have Olsen in mind as the husband,
but Like Frank Morgan as the young
hoyer he did fairly well.
The White Villa" is aoutely fem
brine, and 1t may he taken at best as
an interesting experiment.

For years inventors have been ex-
perlmcnting with the talking doll.
To make one that could squeak
Mamma" when il was squeezed was
simple enough, but to make one thae
could chatter like a real child was
quite another matter.
Some time ago a German inventor
produced "A bisque beauty with phono-
graph insides that could talk as 1u-
emily as a German professor--but she
weighed eighty pounds. Edison, re-
filming this invention, reduced the
weight to sixty pounds-but still such
doll was obviously Of little use to
children other Than those of Gargan-
fuan proportions
Mrs. Rice Wray Ives told the
Mothers Club that the new doll win
weigh only two or three pounds, will
be abouH two feet tall and can Ne
made to talk by pressing a buttoh.
She (the doll) can he wound up by n
little crank, and will talk an hour
without reminding. Mrs. Ives said Is
is the hope OF the manufacturer to
reduce the price until II is not more

jority of children's parents pocket

The converse ton OF the talking
doll is to be OF an educational and

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By C. N. LURE Common Errors in English and
 How to Avoid Them
"PERSoNs" AND "PEoPLE."

THE word persons used to in- | dicate a number or a gathering of human beings, Is numerical; the word people" is collective. The dif- ference In the use of the words may be Illustrated more easily by giving examples than by discussing the gram matical principles involved
 We say, correctly, Three persons entered the theater," not, Three peo- pie entered the theater." But we should not say or write, "There was a crowd of persons in the theater" i; say, "There was crowd of people" The rector was asked, How many can be seated in your churchT He replied. We can seat comfortably about one thousand persons, but if an unusual crowd of people wishes to at- tend the services we can accommodate more than a thousand" The Standard Dictionary says, Ut would be quite out of place to say, The pastor de- sires to meet the young persons of the church.

In the story Silvio goes on the stage
as Othello. To him the part seems ex-
aggerated for he thinks the Moor should
never have condemned hig wife on such
himsy evidence, Then he finds himself
face to face with similar situation In
his own life.
AS his own tragedy unfolds, he finds
that he must play on the stage the i'm
mortal tragedy Of the Moor. with his
own wife in the role Of Desdemona. To
enact tragedy tefore an audience. which
lie IS really living IN his own person,
proves too great strain upon the ar
tist. The outraged but mistaken hus-
band triumphs aud the mimic tragedy
comes near TO becoming a real one be
fore the Mortified audience. How the
situation stralghtens out forms the dra-
matte conclusion TO Carnival"

again when budget Is not a budget.
It isn't when you use up all the money
in "a given fund six months before the
end Of the year and have to go 10 the
city council and ask for more, a proce-
dure which IS illegal according to one
recent Interpretation Of the State tax
law.
But. unless the board Of public works
finds some way OF getting more money
into the city hall maintenance fund,

board members are going. to have to go
without ice and clean face towels Such
comforts are bought out Of the city
hall maintenance fund.
When the budget was made last Sep
tember the board thought $500 ought TO
be enough for such trifles. which also
include coal for the city hall However
the board has had 70 cease approving
acquisitions upon this fund within the
past two weeks because there IS only

been only about half that much remaining
