starring Miss Betty Comps0n and Tom

ker'e story. "She of the Triple Chew
ron,' BY Albert Shelby lie Vino.
This is a hard story to sit through in
hot weather-because it has several
things that are enticing. Two of them
are the deep drifts of snow and the boot
leg whisky that flows so freely. The
other is Miss Betty Compson. who looks
cool and refreshing, even when she has
been battered by a most realistic snow
storm.
There are some interesting details OF
the method by which booze is smuggled
across the border from Canada to the
United States by means Of a rubber pipe
line under the snow. 80 it is most appro-
pirate that the adaptation should be made
by a man called lie Vine. That bootleg
element is the most patent feature of
this story that raises It above the ordi-
nary slush through which the Royal
Northwest mounted police have to wade
on the screen. Stories of the r. N. w.
M. p. are common enough on the Aims
nowadays. being the natural recourse Of
a director when the heat Of Los Angeles
begins to affect him. Clearly the Royal
Northwest sleuths have worn the frozen
North pretty fiat of late.
But what distinguishes this picture
most above all Of it's kind is the treat
ment OF II by Its director. Penrhyn STAN
laws. who has with this photoplay added
a few more cubits to his drectorial stat
ure True, the girl adopts the time hon
ored device of dressing In the uniform
of her drugged policeman lover to save
his reputation by delivering his papers
to insuring
the arrest thereby of her brother for
shooting a police spy--but even this Is
made TO seem real, by good acting as
well as plenty OF snowfiakes.
Stanlaws has handled the scene In just
the right fashion, with picturesqueness
and dispatch, so that the characters
never waste time In explanations and
posing, but simply pull out their yans
and shoot. That's the proper Royal
Northwest mounted police technique. He
has chosen his location admirably. and
while some OF the night scenes outdoors
still suggest violent pink sunset. there
are others that are absolutely the last
word in depicting bleak nocturnal scenes
that make the joints creak with cold.
The climacteric blizzard Is 80 vividly
done one refuses to believe an airplane
propeller achieved 1t. While tho outlaw
brother waits to be rescued in the lit
orally bowling wilderness the spectator
stamps his feet in sympathy. But even
in this cold the police must have kept
warm saluting SO frequently---no mean
accomplishment in those bulky fur coats
Miss Compson does some Of her best
acting in many months. and is clad in
the ideal costume to keep the patrons
mind on a stars face instead Of her
clothes--a mackinaw and heavy boots
Tom Moore seems to be constantly blar-
neying in his typical. amusing fashion,
even when he is in a deliriuu, and the
remainder Of the cast s well balanced,
including the horses. which plunge
through the drifts, but never go under.

FRIARS ARE SNAPPY IN
THEIR LATEST .FROLIC'
Surpass Their Precious Ef-
forts in Fun Making.

Quite the jolliest and snappiest per-
formarlce Of its kind seen this season
was the annual 'Friars' Frolio' presented
at the Manhattan Opera House before a
crowded house last night. William Col
lier. dean Of the club, had personal
charge of the staging. and 1t was largely
due to his skillful handling that the en-
tertainment moved with the dash and
verve IL displayed, with scarcely a dull
moment
1t might truly be said shat the Friars
surpassed any previous "Frolie" they
have given. This was largely because
they made most of the acts short and
varicd.
Collier was all over the place, partici-
pating n several of the acts. He was
an in:e-locrto- in the minstrel FIRST part,

Eddie Cantor sang songs, Harry Kelly
helped his traired dog do tricks, Ray

nard Granville told riddles, Arthur West
delivered himself Of a difficult "bIucs"
number and Frank Tinney delivered a
hilariously funny speech. Others who
participated in this act were J. c. Nu-
gent. Lew Cody. John Meehan. Loney
Haskell and Joseph Smiley. Ted Lewis
and his Jazz band were also heard from,
meeting much favor.
Joe Weber and Lew Fields did the
famous choking scene of heir music hall

rapturous acclaim as ever
One of the acts which evoked consider
able merriment was the Hula Hula

The question, ''yVho posed for the tall,

yesterday, when Mrs. FArnham said
that Mrs fireman did not pose for the

among several young women whose lines
would suggest those Of the lissom

Mrs. fireman has. however, posed for
several undraped figurines." said Mrs.
Farnham. She is one Of the best
models ever worked from. Here Is one
of them"
The figurine Of the dancer is OF q
bacchante in moderately animated at

cause it conveyed the idea OF grief with

of the design was the moving impulse OF
the deepest contemplation with hope, the
idea of complete rest and relaxation
without despair. Those had been the
ideas of the widow of the dancer since
she laid him away in Woodlawn and she
waited until she found them expressed
to her complete satisfaction. Mrs. Tre-

"The End of the Day." Mrs. Trenans first husband
Widow of Dancer, Now Mrs. fireman, Was Not Model
for Graceful Marble Figure, but Furnished
Idea for It's Creation.

An atmosphere of romance but not of
mystery hovers about graceful, crouch
ing nude feminine figure that Mrs. Rob
ert fireman. better known to the large
world that adores dancing grace as Mrs
Vernon Castle, soon will have placed
over the grave of her late famed dane
ing-aviator husband in Woodlawn Gene
terry.
There was mystery about the me-
mortal which has been designed by one
OF Mrs. Treman's intimate friends, Sally
James Farnham, until the latter, in the
absence OF Mrs. fireman in Europe, de-
clared that the original Of the slim.
dropping life size figure is not the form
of the dancer. However. the model.
which within few weeks is to stand
out in pure white marble, radiates ro-
nance and abiding affection.
Mrs. fireman went abroad recently for
a few weeks Of solitary recreation fol-
lowing the death of her mother, and will
be back in New York early next month.
Mrs. Farnham expects to have the mar
BILE memorial erected over Vernon Cas-
ties grave before her return, so that by
the time the dancer again Is here she
will find In place for all time the un-
draped symbol of devotion and grief
over inc spot Wnere, Sne mas ulrecteu,
her body will eventually rest by the side
Of her first husband.
When the dancer abandoned his stage
career to carry on" In the war ana met
his death at Kelley Field four years ago
last February. his young widow started
her search for the sculptured idea that
would best express abiding affection
Her search ended In Mrs. Farnham's
studio In Fifty-seventh street.
A crouching undraped feminine fig
urc. youthful but vi-ile, to express in
carved marble form grief without de-
spair, loneliness with hope, tears with
out desolation, ended the quest In the

wyn.
So striking an effect has been attained
recently by turning loose lions in an
arena on the screen that BENJAMIN b.
Hampton evidently had the inspiration OF
shooting lions through a crowd In a
modern Spanish State, adding an oil we'll
just to show how UP to date the story
was. At least the plot seems to be un-
folded in some mythical Spanish prin-
cipality. though this. as well as other
points In the picture, could stand a lit
tie more explanation.
But then the producer seemed to be in
a hurry to get to his climax. and this
situation. where the menagcrie OF an
American circus Is set upon crowd OF
Latins who are eorely besetting the
young American mining engineer and
nis native sweetheart In an inn. enlists
the services OF the ZOO in an enthusiastic
and striking manner. Lions, tigers and
lives turning the village into picnic
ground. But while the animals are good.
they don't always get stellar support
from the humans.
This contretemps In novel and un-
usual. with q thrilling fight between a
lion and one OF the numerous villains,
who In this case obviously does not have
the usual friendly tussle with the par'or
rug. But some Of the effects are patiently
tricked. and one feels that ones hair
might with more careful handling have
been raised to the limit, say an inch or
so more.
In some way the oil well--apparentiy
in the back yard--seems to be mixed up
with the hand Of the half American.
half Spanish heiress and the destiny Of
the American engineer--secmingly It
would never be permissible to have a
Spanish engineer in such circumstances.
But after the well has served It's pur-
pose in getting the story started 1t Is
simply cholsed off In the continuity.
There are conspiracies an thick as the
oil, in which pistols are fired automati-
cally from a clock at the American. and
an iron pulley wheel is dropped on him
and strikes the wrong person, but they
don't even take the crease out Of Carl
Gantvoorts nobby engineering costume.
Miss Claire Adams looks pretty as the
heroine, but does little except submit to
being dragged around until--yes. at one
point finally she does expresses her in
dividuaiity by hitting q man over the
head with a vase.
The remainder OF the cast does little
except clot together in groups and
whisper in a stage plotter's fashion,
working the eyebrows overtime. One OF
them achieves the miracle of overhear-
ing a conversation 200 yards away. And
there is little girl dressed as Jackie
Coogan, for no particular reason except
that Jackie has won success In such
garb, therefore his talents are supposed
to reside in his clothes.
