PEPPER STRAP" Is
GARRICK CLASSIC

While "The Pepper Pot OF Vaude-
Vile" has the place of prominence
on the bill at the Garrick Theatre,
any one of the other Ave acts could
easily cop the title. The act lives up
to its reputation in that II Is as
"peppy" and "jazzy" as the name
implies. The one-act comedy fea-
lures Primrose Semon, Arthur Con-
rad and company.
Miss semon has a pleasing per-
sonality and sings her songs in the
"jazziest" possible manner 1t is
doubtful II her songs would stand
the test of the afternoon chamber
recital, but at any rate they pleased
last nights audiences. The act is
mostly devoted TO showing off Miss
Semon's accomplishments, although
the rest OF the company came in for
laughs.
Possibly the most wholesome act
on the program is "A Cafe Honey
moon" starring Josie Rooney, as
sisted by Bobby Nelson and Jack
Smith. The act is OF the musical
comedy variety. with good dancing
and singing. While Miss Rooney is
a good singer. she excels in dancing.
Both the assisting artists are pleas
ing in the variety of their entertain
ment.
Eugene and Flnney. horizontal
bar comics. open the acts on the
bill. but their act is OF such calibre
that Il could command a place
among the so-called headliners. The
stunts OF these two acrobats are
nothing short OF remarkable. The
way they jump from one bar to an
other would make a squirrel look as
cumbersome as an elephant. Their
most difficult tricks are done with
apparent ease.
Jimmy Shea in "Be Yourself" a
one-man act, got the good will Of
the audience, although some OF his
jokes and songs were a bit sugges-
tive. Most OF them were new, how
ever. and merited applause.
What's the Big Idea" by Cedric
Lindsay and Hazel Mason, Is n good
act. with a unique trick or two by
Lindsay. Both actors sing and
dance well.
Bennett and Lee. in songs and say
ings. while last are not least by any
means Their skit was based OF
dramatic instruction, which caused
much laughter. Bennett has a fac,
with which he can impersonate al.
/ most any one. He registers all the
passions-iove, anger regret, fear
! hate, etc.
The photoplay. Judgment" Is a
spectacular production based on the
play by Victor Hugo. The romance
OF Mary Tudor, bloody queen" of
England. and a nobleman OF lesser
range. is the subject OF the intrigues
and tragedy that courses through
the story. Tie play was produced in
Europe and savors much Of ancient
times.
This bill will be shown at the Gar
rick today and tomorrow.

"BRoKEN BRANCHES"

Broken Branches" n powerful
drama by Emil Nyitray and Herbert
Hall Winslow, will begin an engage
ment of three nights and a popular
priced Saturday matinee at the Play
house, previous to the opening at
the Shuberts Thirty-ninth Street
Theatre, New York for all summer,
the following Monday. II will be
here three days starting March 2.
Broken Branches" has been tried
I'm Washington, ID. c., and other prin-
cipal cities and has been pronounced
one Of the most virile and pleasing
plays Of recent years.
IL belongs to the same class OF
drama as the Music Master" ,"
"Friendly Enemies" and similar
plays possessing a wide appeal. and
that have been remarkably success
ful in the past.
The principal characters are Karl
Martens. an old diamond importer
with kind heart and n wonderful
sense Of humor. He has been left q
widower when his son and daughter
were very young, and through over
Indulgence. his children are some
what lacking in respect. and inclined
to be self-willed. His friend Nc
Cam, an irish neighbir, and COM
rade. on the contrary, has been un-
duly severe with his children, who
after obtaining possession of his
home and business. place the old
man In a poor-house. Martens in
vites Mccain to share his home. Me-
Cam convinces Martens that he will
meet the same fate at the hands of
his children. and when Martens dis
covers that during his absense. his
son has misappropriated $4,000, and
his daughter arranged to marry a
young man who seeks to borrow
$4,000 from him, he has a strong
dramatic scene with his two chill
dren, resulting in their leaving the
shelter OF his roof.
The next scene is laid IN n cafe. a
typical New York underworld re-
sort. in which the "Bue Cat Jazz
Band" composed entirely OF girls
and other cabaret artists. sing spe-
cially written songs. Martens visits
the resort IN search Of his daughter
Evening journal., 1922-02-28

and the end Of the act is thrilling
climax.
The last scene is laid in Martens
home. and he eventually succeeds in
bringing about a reconciliation with
his own children and also with Nc
Cam and his children.
Tho play abounds with comedy
and with laughter and tears. follow
in rapid succession.
The play has been given one Of
the most distinguished and highest
salaried casts that has appeared in
any Broadway production for sew
eral seasons.
The principal parts are played by
Hyman Adler, who has frequently
been referred to as the "Warfeld
Of the Yiddish stage; w. M. Kerri-
gan. Raymond Hackett, Edward b
Reese, Wallace Ford, Russell John
stone. Aileen Poe. Beatrice Allen
Amy Ongley and others.
There is a large advance for al
performances.

weak to describe zone Arabian

at the Arcadia Theatre yesterday.
It is a First National attraction, di-
rected by Ernest Ilubitsch and star
ring Pola Negri. the Incompatible.
It is the ultimate in entertain
ment. It grips the spectator with
its great beauty and its glorious ro-
nance. story, direction and acting

with an irresistible appeal; one that
stirs up romance in everyone. no

Pola Negri, the possessor OF that
dazzling personality. which brought
the world to her feet through her
performance in Passion" Is the
star. playing the part OF an i'm
petuous dancer of the desert, and
bewildering the spectator with her
histrionic powers. The ease with
which Mile. Negri can register any
emotion is astounding.
Rare judgment has been shown by
the director. in selecting the other
members of the cast. Each is per
feet in his or her part-an accom-
plishment worthy of genius
Lubitsch, himself, portrayed the role
of a hunchback clown, one OF the
most difficult ever assigned to a
cinema actor and he does 1t with an
art that grips and thrills.
The entire production Is perme-
ated with color and life and the spirl

AT THE QUEEN

Just Around the Corner" is a
feature picture which is a fine ex-
ample OF womens work. 1t opened
an engagement at the Queen Theatre
yesterday.
Written by Fannie Hurst and
adapted by Frances Marion, who is
also responsible for the direction, It
proves a motion picture may be un-
compromlsingly real and It wins by
its rare quality.
It Is a simple story OF an aillng
mother, who is striving to see her
son and daughter started on the
right path In life before she dies
The son IS a messenger and the
daughters beau is the right kind OF
man. Her efforts to meet him are
always side-stepped by that young
person, who is an irresponsible light
weight His disregard OF this wish
causes the girl to realize his worth
lessness but her eagerness to see him
has brought on severe heart attack
to her mother. Rushing after him
and refused by him, the daughter
persuades a stranger to impersonate
the fckle one and the mothers end
is peaceful.
A complete review OF the story is
given to accentuate the plain unaf-
fectedness OF the story. It is filled
With a fine human quality that has
effect on everyone.
Margaret Seddon gives a wonder
fully sympathetic portrayal Of the
mother. Lewis Sargent plays the
messenger boy son amazingly well
and sigrid Holmqulst is a real girl
with much charm OF her own.l
The setting OF the story Is New
York's great East Side which Fannie

 The deceased mother was formerly Miss Bessie Cooper and was married to NJ, N. Norris, Jr., six years ago The father. w. s. Cooper, is a promi- nent local contractor. Following the death of her husband she had re- moved from her former residence 1917 First avenue. West End, to the home of her parents.
 She is survived by her parents. a sister, Mrs. L. E. Gray of Birming ham and Mrs. S. R. Posey of Jackson vile, Fla.
 Funeral arrangements will be made later.
 Formal verdict of murder and sui- eide was rendered by Coroner J. A. Russum. who stated the case was the mst pathetic which he has investi- gated since taking office.
 Mrs. Morris was a member of one of the best known families of Jeff ferson county. She was a niece of George B. Tarfant and was also re- lated to c. M. Green of North Blr- mingham.
 Her husband M. N Morris, wac a son of the Rev. NJ. N Morris, now a retired Methodist minister living at Trinity. MT, Morris was a graduate of Birmingham- Southern college and later went to Vanderbilt university. He married soon after leaving Van- derbilt and for the past five or six years had been in the real estate and insurance business in Birmingham. He Is said to have had a very brilliant mind but his family had been caused the greatest anxiety by habits which he had formed and which eliminated In his death on Christmas day from what the coroner characterized as acute alcoholism. Friends attribute yesterdays tragic act of Mrs. Morris to complete mental derangement brought on by her sorrow.
