Coming Attractions
GARRICK-Gilda Varesi.

GiIda varesi will be seen at the
Garrick next week. beginning Janu-
ary 8, in Brock Pemberton's produc-
tion Of ENTER Madame"
Miss Varesi comes from four gener-
ations OF actors and singers, and long
before she won her triumph In her
present starring vehicle she was con-
WINGED that she would win success in
a big part some day.
For a long while the big part
seemed quite beyond her reach. She
came to America from Italy when che
was ten years of age and started on
the stage.
Finally" says Miss Varesi. "a sort
of recognition came. I found myself
in companies that played the more
important theaters in the larger cities,
and / had a series of very satisfying
engagements in New York. Boston

good salary. but it was always q

critics lauded and the audiences ap-
plauded. never became anything

to write my own play And I did
write one, Enter Madame in col
laboration with Dolly Byrne. 1t was
our good fortune to have IL accepted
by the first manager to whom ii was
submitted-Brock Pemberton. He read
it in June, 1920, and in August we had
opened the production in New York
and the critics. with their written
praise, and the theater going public by
its attendance. assured me that my
greatest desire had been realized"

Pola Negrii $ Next Picture.

WHEN you go to see Pola Negr's
w next picture. 1.-THE Last Pay
ment," don't be late. If you are you'll
miss at the opening of the picture
some of the niftiest dance steps
shown in many a day on the screen.
1t will be recalled that the famous
tango and other dances delightiag the
light-footed were of exotic ancestry.
Just to prove it. the story starts bang
off with a view of gay hotel life in a
South American capital and, oh.
those steps!
Whirling about in a circle of inter-
ested spectators, the dancers do near
ly everything but walk on their hands.
If Terpsichore could have imagined
such development from her ancient
steps, she would undoubtedly have
shut up shop in envy and gone out
and dug up a few worms for break
fast.
Back into such a life of gayety the
Polish star comes after her South
American rancher husband is mur-
dered. In doing so she sets father
against son in a story Of big dra-
matte values.

tense, strong, with something of
brutality in its strength. The title tells
the story, for the easiest way is the
path of dalliance which the vicious
seek. and which the weak cannot
avoid. Laura Murdock was weak and
pretty and very much spoiled. Her
instincts were good, but virtues i'm :

shabby clothes. possible starvation
and misery. "The Easiest Way" is
sermon and it's text is "the wages
of sin is DEATH" The more serious parts
of the play are relieved by pleasing

Why Betty Is Beautiful.

DENRHYN STANLAWS. widely
known artist. In speaking of
Betty Compson, the pretty star of
Barrie's THE Little Minister" says:
Miss Compson is beautiful because
her features are properly correlated.
Her nose is the right kind Of nose for
her eyes, and her eyes are the right
kind of eyes for the rest Of her face
and her face is the right kind of a
face to form a background for her
particular features, and the whole
makes the Betty Compson one knows

WHAT ABOUT HENRY?

down to the job and reach some
sort of a decision about it.
Something has got to be done
with Henry Ford. He is getting
to be such a power in the land
that he can't be ignored much
ionger. And making fun of him
won't work, either. The people
of these Benited States, whether
they like it or not, have just got
to reckon with the Flivver Man.
There is the Muscle Shoals
question still hung up in Con-
gress like a calf with it's head in
a fence crack, and it seems likely
to hang there till it rots.
Henry says he could do big
things at Muscle Shoals. He
promises to start a development
that will be a blessing to all the
people. Well, everybody wants
him to try it except a little bunch
of plutes in New York and a few
Of their boot-lickers in Wash
ington.
So there you are.
Just look who is FOR Henry,
and then turn around and look
who is AGAINST him. Amt
that a sufficient object-lesson?
For the Lords sake, honey,
which crowd are you going to
line up with? .....
The peanut politicians are
scared plum out of their breeches
for fear Ford will get into poll
tics. But they amt got sense
enough to see that. their fight
against him on the Muscle Shoals
matter is the very surest way tt
put him into politics.
Why, bless goodness, dom
you know that a presidential
boom for Henry is already
sweeping the country like fir
in stubhle? The Ford Clubs ar
springing up all over the land
and Henry says he will serve i
the people demand it, but HI
won't spend nary penny to ge
the nomination nor the election.
Oh, but Henry is ignorant
they say. He is unlearned, an
he is not a professional politician
Yes, he is just ignorant enoug
to know that the way to d
things is to Do them and no
talk forever about it. And
little bit of straight DOIN'
THINGS is what we need i
Washington right now.
But the next question is, whs
party ticket will Henry run on
me runs at all? Neither of tn
old parties would dare to non
mate him, because they are a
dominated by their old machin
gangs and they wouldn't touch
man like Ford with a forty-foc
pole. Not even the Socialist pal
ty would have him. And VI
