At the Strand Thcatrc

Charles Ray has registered an
other cinema triumph in his third
picture from his own studio, demon
strating the fact that since becom-
ing an Independent producer and
star he has greatly increased the
opportunities his talent affords.
The production, Nineteen and
Phyllis" opened an engagement at
the Strand theatre last night, pro-
viding a most wholesome and re-
freshing entertainment. 1t is a de-
lightful story of youthful romance
from the pen of Frederick Showers.
and has been picturized in a most
skillful and entertaining manner.
Replete with humor and founded
on the boyish romance of a nine
~teen-year-old youngster. it is a
typical Charles Ray vehicle, and a
worthy successor to the stars two
preceding releases. "Forty-five Min
utes from Broadway" and Peaceful
Valley" which have achieved the
distinction of being foremost among
the seasons most successful photo
plays.
In Nineteen and Phyllis Ray
makes something of a departure
from his favorite role of a rube.
He is seen as a town dandy. Andrew
Jackson Cavanaugh. whose greater
aim in life is to dazzle with his gor-
geous attire the eyes of the fair
young miss whom he some day
hopes to win.
When Andrews greatest rival for
the affections of the young lady ap-
pears at a dance garbed in the first
dress suit ever seen in town, the
lads dismay knows no bounds.
However, a mail order house
quickly places him in the same sar-
