Mary Carr Makes an
Ideal Screen Mother

women are more or less endowed.
1t was perhaps a fortunate coinci-
dence in Mrs. Carr's life that years
ago she gave up very promising
stage career in favor of domestic life:
and when this fact is taken into coh-
sideration, IL seems as though fate
had transplanted her to the quiet, do
mestic atmosphere that was to pre-
pare her to go out in later life and
achieve fame with a portrayal So
lIfelike and natural that ii seems
at first glance little short OF uncanny.
Another factor in Mrs Carr's IA
vor is that screen audiences are be-
coming more and more particular as
to the so-called types OF women to
whom mother parts are entrusted. 1t
Is natural that men and women
out front-particularly the women
should resent or grow weary of
screen mothers who do not look the

"Over the HM'

In the now famous motion picture.
over the HILL" which begins a
limited engagement at the Shubert-
Garrick tonight, William Fox. the
producer, has proven that a story
close to the people will hold popu-
larity longer than any other theme
that can be found. Based on the i'm
mortal poems of Will Carleton. It
deals with all those phases of every.
day life that are at once appealing.
II IL this appeal that still holds the
picture in New York, where twice
daily for a year II has crowded six
different theaters on Broadway. Wash.
ington 10 the FIRST city OF the nation
to have the picture in the midst Of
this phenomenal metropolitan run.
Its fame has preceded IL here. Told
in simple way, the story deals in
tensely, yet so tenderly, with the
great mother love. Its scenes carry
one back to the romping. care-free
days OF childhood, and what could
create more real mirth than a house
full of boys and girls with loving
and indulgent mother. interviewer
with this laughter there Ia a deep ORA
matte story OF the growth OF these
children. their going out into the
world and busy with their own af-
fairs, forgetting mother and her love
all but one, the boy who had been
picked out as the black sheep. He
proves to be the real one OF all the
brood No sweeter and more lovable
character has ever been given to the
screen than that OF the mother, as so
wonderfully created by Mary Carr.
The Now York critics were enthusi.
astic OF the wonderful natural touch
she has given this remarkable part.
Harry Millarde has given the picture
a splendid direction, and Mr.. Fox has
cast 1t with wonderful result. "Over

this weeks attraction at the Gayety
Theater.
Miss Wilson has. possibly done
as much work for the suffrage cause
as any woman in the ranks of the
National Woman's Party, even though
she never deserted her stage work
five minutes TO help push over the
last change in the Constitution.
She made speeches in Brooklyn, her
home. stumped the state of Iowa for
women who were running for the leg
islature. and helped write some of
the hygienic laws that are now upon
the statute books of New York.
In brief, being an actress has been
incidental with Miss Wilson, and a
worker for social and domestic re-
forms and changes are her big ac-
complishments.
The Gayety star thinks justice is
onc-sided with only men occupying
the bench and prosecuting and de-
Tending the accused. She thinks that
woman district attorney would be
more lenient in some cases and un-
relenting in others, where women and
children are made to suffer by the
shortcoming of one upon whom the
law laid its fell clutches.
I'VE want the day TO come when a
woman judge will preside in big
trial, TO show that she has the ability
and the judicial poise." said Miss
Wilson. Men and women alike will
be assured of getting a better deal
all around This time is not far off
and the next century will see the COM
plete leadership resting in the hands
OF women"
Women will vote in the future cleo
tions. not as an experiment or for ad-
venture, but from the purely con-
scious idea that il is their duty to
improve the health, the morals and
the prosperity of the nation. The
first step in this direction. thinks
Miss Wilson, is the maternity meas
ure which is now being considered in
House and Senate. and which she
thinks would have been scoffed at
decade ago. cd
The Gayety star devotes. her sum-
mer to attending lectures on political
economy, domestic improvements and
other matters which as a rule inter-

woman of large society affairs.

ssid he was acting for the enter

little Irish village OF Dromana. The
play is from the pens of Nessrs.

the most realistic portrayals of scenes
OF Irish life that has been placed on
the American stage since the ap-
pearance here of the Abbey Theater
players. The authors have taken a
romance in which the loves of Barry
Boyne and Norah O'Malley are told
in a most charming way and inter
woven with the scenes is wealth of
humor and quaint irish expressions.
One OF the charming features OF
tie performance VII be the songs of
Walter Seaman. whom the play intro
duces as an Irish star for the first
time in this city. Mr.. Scanlan is one
of the noted tenors OF the American
stage and a rrotege OF Victor"Herbert
in whose opera Eileen" he sang the
leading tenor role. As an interpreter
of Irish ballads he has few equals
and this will lend additional interest
to the performance of Hearts of
Erin" The picturesque locale of the
play has enabled Mr.. Cats to provide
some exceedingly handsome stage
settings. Messrs. Dodge & Castle, the
noted scenic artists are said to have
turned out the production for the
play. which afforded them an op-
portunity for some beautiful stage
pictures. For the support of his star.
