ever, that it is the mystery element
in 1.-THE Bat" which accounts in a
very great measure for its as
funding success. If the records Of
the public libraries may be ac-
cepted as evidence more persons
prefer books dealing with mystery
than of any other kind.
And in connection with 1.-THE
Bat" as mystery play, the obser-
vations of Mary Roberts Rinehart,
one Of its authors, and incidentally
one of Americas foremost writer's
Of fiction Of all times, are interest
ing. Popular as mystery plays
may be, Mrs. Rinehart believes that
the writer who attempts that form
of fiction must be meticulously
careful or they are doomed to fail
ure.
Crimes-and mystery stories
usually deal with crime Of some
sort-according to Mrs. Rinehart,
may be committed by persons for
any number of reasons. There may
be the crime of revenge. 1t is in
teresting but not at all unusual.
Again, there is the crime
prompted by actual want-the man
or woman who steals to get bread
for starving family. The story
is heart-rending; fairly teens
with human interest. But it, too
is not unusual and it is Tar from
being a story to supply the motive
for successful booktor play deal
ing with a mysteriou1 crime.

SPENCER BOOKS
CLARENCE WITH
REID FOR star

A wholesome comedy of family
life in America picture story
that conveys fine message with
out preachment. That is William
de Miles Paramount production
of Clarence, featuring Wallace
Reid, Agnes Ayres and May Nc
Avoy, three screen stars Of un-
questioned popularity. Manager c.
j. Mueller announces that "Clar-
ence" will be the bill at the Spen-
Ger Square theatre tomorrow and
he asserts it is one OF the most en-
joyable pictures booked by him this
season.
Clarence" is the humorous
story of an ex-sOldier who drove
mules without swearing and who
became good angel in the family
of a millionaire whose happiness Is
being dashed upon the rocks be-
cause Of their lack of harmony and
constant pickering. Clarence found
the task of reconciling this family
nearly as difficult as driving army
mules without cussing. but he ac-
composites the task with the aid Of
his saxophone, his genial tempera-
ment and general tact, SO that hap
p'ress is the lot Of all concerned.
! Clarence" is packed with
laughs from beginning to end. In
/ the title role Mr.. Reid scores a
, conspicuous success, while Agnes
Ayres and May McAvoy have parts
| suited to their personalities. There
is supporting cast of rare excel
lence, and the screen version OF
Booth Tarkington's famous play is
said to rank as one of the most en-
joyable pictures of the year. kath-
lyn Williams, Adolph Mentou, Ed
ward Martindel, BERTHE Johns, Rob-
ert Agnew, Dorothy Gordon and
Maym Kelso are in the supporting
cast.

RINEHART BAT !.
HELD GREATEST
OF STAGE FINDS

There are always people who
like to know the why's and where
fores of things. For example there
undoubtedly are many who wonder
at the unusual success Of THE
Bat" the greatest dramatic hit of
many years, which Wagenhals and
KenAper will present at the Illinois
theatre tomorrow night.
1.-The Bat was written by Mary
Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hop
wood. 1t played for more than
two years in New York. 1t has a
record Of over one entire year in
Chicago to its credit, something,
incidentally, never before achieved
by any dramatic play in that city.
And still there are people who may
be heard to wonder why.
There are always many causes to
assign for the success of a pop
ular play. but probably the one
factor which has more to do with it
than anything else is whether or
no it has a universal appeal. In
the case OF 1.-THE Bat" this is mos
emphatically the case.
1.-The Bat" might easily be de-
scribed in variety of ways. 1t is
"a mystery play that fairly teens
with thrills. 1t is dramatic to the
extreme and there are many mo-
ments in it when it's comedy is SO
deliciously funny that they become
almost farcical. Then, too. there
is an absorbing love story running
through it all with the result that
the theatregoer, no matter how
faded he may be. finds in the play
exactly that (which appeals to him
most.
1t is not at all improbable. how

~HE WAS ALWAYS AT

In reviewing the lives of great men
We are continually confronted with the
cause OF their success. We will not say
the secret of success. for it is no secret

words are small and can be understood

Look over the lives of men OF power
