"sOAfE GIRLS"

Not since the present vogue OF
musical comedy began. a dozen
years ago. did the public's demand
for this form OF diversion become so
general as It has in the past two
seasons.

prominent producers have reaped
harvests in their wartime tours. ex-

The financial outlays represented
in big musical comedies. have for
years been almost unbelievable to
the layman's mind, yet this. like
everything else. has steadily mount
ed. until this year the price for these
same necessary materials has more
than doubled. (Women shoppers at
the silk and satin counters can read
lily testify TO this fact) But. even
here the highering cost OF produc-
ton does not end.
A dozen years OF popularity has
called many OF these shows to the
stage, and logically. two grave con-
ditons have come about. The pub
lie has been made "blase" and ex-
actingly critical in it's demands
while producing managers have be-
come extravagant plungers in their

other half OF past costs is added to

which is at the Arcadia theatre.
In Love. Honor and Behave" 1t
Is jealousy on the part OF a young
wife who wrongly suspects her hus-
band. that furnishes the reason for
the plentiful thrills and much
laughter in the story. Marie Pre-
vost, lovely and dark, has the fem
mime lead in one part OF the picture
and after her work is finished she
reverts the honors to blond Phyllis
Haver. whom many consider the
queen OF all the famous Sennett
beauties.
Charlie Murray is the chief OF the
male funsters. His comedy finds its
climax In a lions cage. One OF the
most thrilling episodes ever screen
ed. The fact that the Celtic comedian
really encountered the ferocious
beast Is apparent in the picture. No
double exposure could properly
yield the realism OF this episode
which is one Of the many thrills
provided by Mr.. Sennett TO supply
the necessary contrast to the laugh
ter that mainly prevails.
