USE THE RIGHT THTMBLE

H LITTLE thing like a thimble can

thimble is just as difficult to contend
against as the wrong sort OF eyeglasses

through almost a whole lifetime using
the same old thimble which has prob

needle pokes through. or is too small

new and comfortable thimble would
cost not more than a dollar.
Is there a sentiment about the old

persistently to old implements, old
customs long after the things long
past usefulness should be discarded?

that thimble is a bit small and has an
aggravating habit Of popping or and
rolling under the bureau at incon-
venient moments.
Very few women can wear the same
thimble at fifty that was a perfect it
at twenty-five. Fingertips lose their
tapering slenderness; or cushions OF
fat accumulate. The finger joints are
apt to enlarge too. especially the joint
OF the thimbie finger. The dainty
number thimble that pushed a
needle through embroidery twenty
years ago Is almost certainly too small

lot more comfortable-and be able to

On the Screen
''Threc Live Ghosts" at the
Rivoli. Suffers From Memo
rits Of tho Play
By I1arriette Underhill

George Fitgmauricc version of
Frederic 1sham's play "1kree Live
Ghosts is at the Rvoli this week. In
watching this story unfold on tho
screen one il filled with wonder that
tic stage production should have been
so much moro entertaining than the
photo play when the tale seems cmi-
nently Cited for tho screen. There is
so much that can be amusingly por-
traycd in the film version that was only
talked about on the stage. and yet, AS
We remember it. Three Live Ghosts"
was about tho best play Of the season,
and 50 much could never be said for tho
picture.
Wc have come to believe that books
and plays screened arc seldom salts
factory. IL tho scenario writer changes
the story. those Of us who were vio-
lently attached to the original version
are made unhappy. If they leave the
story As il was. those who did not know
the story in its original form SAY that
there is no action. So there you are
When there arc so many people palpi-
tating to write for the screen. why not
do only new stories?
In the first place, any one who had to
follow Beryl Mercer in the role of Mrs
Gubbins has sorry time of it. for that
marvellous actress gave performance
that could not be equalled rs the tpsy
old sweetheart Then some one has
thought it necessary to add an cpl
logue showing ALI restored to their
Gubbins and Miss Woofers as butler
ard maid In the household OF Spoofy.
1t is just one Of those things which
make people who arc suspicious of
motion pictures say. "Thcrc. what did
tell your" For doting and indulgent
fan it does not matter.
Edmund Goulding has come from be-
bind the camera, where he usually Is
concealed as author, adapter or direc-
tor, and he plays the part of Jimmy
Gubbins. We felt like shouting, "'Atta
boy. Eddie" for he gives a great
performance. It is too bad he cannot
be persuaded to stay OH the right side
of the camera, for we consider him a
better actor than writer. OF course,
Mr.. Goulding will not agree with us
Clare Greet is Mrs. Gubbins, and if
we had not had Beryl Mercer in mind
no doubt we should have enjoyed her
performance immensely. Anna @.
Nilsson Is the heroine, and the strange
Fart Of it is that We cannot even re-
member lvis in the play. Perhaps she
was one Of the persons who appeared
only in the dialogue.
Norman Kerry is the American.
Billy Foster, and Cyril Chadwick plays
the part he originated here on the
stage. He is excellent as Spoofy. the
earl, who lost his memory in the war
and then wandered back to rob his

the picture in a character which was
not used in the play.
Ouida Bergere made the scenario and

familiar Pieces

resurrection of unfamiliar rieccs
was accomplished at the fourth concert
Of the Society OF the Friends of Music
yesterday afternoon at Town Hall, with
Bronislew Hubefman az soioist in
Spohr's Violin Concerto No. Z, work
composed in 1915. With the familiar
sequence Of allegro, adagio and rondo,
it gave the violnist ample opportunity
to display both tone and technique. The
ilrst movement abounded in runs and
fireworks, succeeded by Il tuneful slow
movement and gay finale which. as
the program remarked, recalled Ros-
SIM. Mr.. Hubermans technique was
brilliant while his tone was clear and
smooth and, although not very full,
sounded to much better advantage in
the smaller hall.
Robert Nolkmann's second Screnade
for strings. which began the program,
was in four movements, an opening
allegro. followed by a light. rapid move
ment which cave Mr.. Bodanzky and the
orchestra chance to display various
nuances in pianissimos Vaise Lente
and march. 1t was pleasant. melo-
dious, easy-going nusic. putting no
strain on the intellect. and was we'll
performed by the strings. which care
fully followed Mr.. Bodanzky's varia-
tions OF tempo and volume. The Song
of the Shepherds" and "March of the
Three Holy Kings from Liszt's
"Christus' oratorio added a seasonable
touch to the performance, rather long
drawn out, but we'll performed, espe-
cially by the wood-winds, which had
prominent part. The audience was
moderate in size, but quite satisfied.
