DAYTIME WIvEsv

The young woman stenpgrapher and private secretary has many times been pictured as the home breaker who, with her deep, subtle manner causes a coldnes between a man and his wife. while she calmly pockets the affections of her employer, but it remains for the vital film drama, Daytime Wives" which the Wood lawn commandry drill corps will pre- sent at the Masonic Temple audi torium for three days beginning Thursday to give the office girl a square deal. Endless stories have been written showing the office girl as a heartless vampire who makes eyes at her boss and wins him away from the sad-eyed, weeping wife, But nothing much has been said about the earnest young woman who mak es her boss battles her battles and helps him in his great fight to carve out a living for himself and family. In Daytime Wives" the private secre- tary is shown as a beautiful and earnest young woman with high ideals, who works zealously anl un- selfishly for her employers interests and resists all temptations to be- come female lounge lizard and jazz maniac.

ADJUSTMENTS
~CUDDLE UP,,

It has been a long, long time since musical comedy has given the public such wonderful character as the real street faker," shown in "Cud- dle-Up," which opens a two-day en- gagement at the Jefferson Friday. Broke and away from the lights of dear old Broadway the "faker" finds himself in an awful plight. A bunch of pretty girls on his hands and not a soul whom he can touch" An angel at last appears just in time to save the situation, loans the faker the necessary funds to bring him and his pretty girls back to Broadway.
 There is, of course. a love story interwoven which explains how a wilful young woman who experi- mented with love in such a manner as to readily burn her fingers as well as the fingers of others. However, these burns are all healed by the time the curtain falls on the last act.
 The cast of "Cuddle- Up" is one of prominence including George Selden, Doris Claire, Kathleen Brenon, Ralph Coleman, Elden Baker. the Golden West Trio, Sweeny and Rooney and others.

Funk & WagenhaIs Follow Rule Of Early Success To
 Popularize Drama

The first announcement made a few days ago, that The Bat the great mystery play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood. would be presented by Wagenhals and Kemper at the Jefferson Theatre on next Monday and Tuesday was suffi- cient to create an instant demand for seats in the theatre on that par ticular day Such is the reputation of "The Bat" among theatregoers that there are few who are willing what is probably the most talked-of play ever produced in this country. And few who have seen it but want to sec it again and again.
 The fame of "The Bat" as the greatest thriller ever seen in any theatre was established long before it concluded it's run of more than two years at the Morosco Theatre, New York. Thanks to that best of all advertising-word of molth-news of "The Bat" travelled around and around the world. During it's stay ! in New York, it was the one play everyone insisted on seeing. They might go to others-to many other plays--but "The Bat" was one that ! else might ave to go by the boards.
 In the exploitation = plays, it is often necessary for those responsible for their success tc oXpend enormous sums in all forms of advertising. Wagenh3ls and Kemper. however, have p1rsistently and consistently clung to fixed policy of letting the public advertise their play for them, aiding and abetting therein, only by use of the advertising columns oi the newspapers of the country.
 It was newspaper advertising that made the first success of Wagenhals and Kemper possible a quarter of a century ago aud il is newspaper ad-
 vertising that they believe in the most explicitly There are some who believe it is possible to force a poor play into g. long and successful en- gagement. Wagcnhals and Temper however, are not of these. The pub | lie are their critics and the word of the pl blic is what they depend upon. In the case of 'The Bat" certainly their faith was well placed for it is the one play, seemingly, that has never found anything but kind words following it's appearances.
