Wagenhals and Kemper. two of
the most successful theatrical mana
gers in the country, bring the great
est dramatic success of all years,

The Bat" which is thrilling, mys-
terious and at the same time scream

the present time, THE Bat" is in its
second year at the Morosco theatre,
New York. and in addition, another
company. with a run of n year at
Chicago. broke all records for pop
ularity in that city. On its present
triumphant tour, THE Bat" has
played to absolute capacity in every
city in which it has appeared and
there is every indication that its per-
formances in thus city will establish
.,cw records for the Majestic theatre,
tonight.
Just what "The Bat" is all about
that's a secre;. In fact, wherever
THE Bat" has been played, the au-
dience and critics are earnestly re-
quested not to disclose the secret of
the story and they never do. Suf-
f1ce to say. IL is one thrill after an
other, i~nterspersed with countless
laughs.
Mary Roberts R%hinehart and
Avery Hopwood, co-authors OF THE
Bat" are two of the most successful
playrights in America today. In
fact the record of their collabora-
tions fail to show a single failure.
Their first play. years ago, was Sew

''The Bat" is presented by wagon

With THE Bat" they have brought

THEATRES
tran

Girls. How would you like 10
marry into a harem?
Would you like to be the favorite
wife of some Oriental ruler and to
be installed as the queen among
thousands of other beautiful wives?
Would you like to Toll on silken
cushions all day, with scores of
slaves to obey your slightest wish;
with mountains of candy, fruit and
other goodies about you; with
nothing to do but beautify yourself?
The interesting life of the harem
inmates is depicted wildly in "One
attraction starring that wonderful
actress, Pola Negri, which will be
shown al the Strand theatre for an
engagement of three days. starting
Monday. 1t is the first time that a
truthful effort has been made to
show on the screen just what a
harem looks like, and how the
women confined in such an institu-
ton comport themselves. C~onsidera-
BILE research work was done by the
director, Ernst Lubitsch, in order
that the setting and the action
would be true to life.
In "One Arabian Night" the harem
is an immense room with marble
noorS and walls, artistically inset
with mosaics. All around the spa
cious chambers are stately pillars
and immense bronze floor lamps.
Here and there are vases of a rare
design, and there is a profusion of
tapestries and pushes. Scroll work
of minute and intricate design and
artistic hanging lamps complete the
main furnishings of the room.
All daV lnnU the women sir Nrnc1-
legged on silken pillows in the GEN.
ter of the room, with slaves in close
attendance, brushing their hair. mas
saying their faces and applying the
exotic perfumes of the Orient. When
the wives" tire of this they read
for a short time or smoke or gossip.
AS a result of this mode of life, most
of them become stout, but in the
eyes of the men of the East this is a
decided advantage, for fat women
are at a premium.

Great Picture at Ditmas

There are so many excellences in
the new Goldwyn picture, Danger
Gus Curve Ahead" which opened
at the Ditmas theatre last night,
that 1t is difficult for the reviewer to
point out one that stands out above
another. Perhaps the author, Ru~
purt Hughes, deserves first thanks
for writing an original story that
is neither a rehash of old plot ideas
nor a copy of any of his innumera-
BILE short stories of novels. He has
taken a few years of the life of a
young married couple and let us
into the secrets of their differences,
their joys and their final adjust
ments to each others temperament.
