Germans. But this time instead of
coming with guns, rifles and swords,
the invaders are carrying aprons, nap

and walters.
Every once in while there is a
change in the managerial job in a
well known restaurant. A Briton goes
out and German comes in. Then
some of his compatriots get back the
jobs they had before the war.
The british are alarmed at the Ger

asking why, with so many unemployed
in England, German walters should be
permitted to replace Britons.
The ways of the British press are

full to speak of the ex-kaiser of Ger

CHARLES RAY HAILED IN NEW CHARACTER IN "TAILOR MADE MANI
Comedian Coming To Strand For Week-Supported
 By Stars

From all advance reports, Charles Ray made a happy choice in select ing A Tailor Made Man" Herald cd as setting a new and higher stan card of screen comedy drama, it comes to the Strand theatre this week
 "A Tailor Made Man" is a signifi- one. Not only is it the costliest photoplay ever produced by Charles Ray, but it presents him in new character q novel environment, and astounding situations. He is said to have made the role of John Paul Bart one of the most colorful and picturesque in the annals of screen 7 drama; and to have outdone himself in point of humor, charm and ten derness.
 Although the stage play was one of the salient successes of the laSt~sev- eral theatrical season, the creen Yer. sion of "A Tailor Made Man" is said to far surpass it. According to Joseph De Grasse, who directed M. Ray in the screen production, the screen art form provides the more appropriate milieu.
 The philosophy, gaiety and whole undoubtedly carried particular ap- peal to American audiences, patrons of the spoken drama. The same should hold true in the case of the screen interpretation and elaboration.
 Supporting Charles Ray in this pro. duction are Ethel Grandn, JaCqueline Logan, Thomas Ricketts, Douglas Gerard, Victor Potel, Thomas Jeffer- son, Stanton Heck, William Parke, Butler, Nellie Peck Saunders and others

LYRIC AUDIENCES ARE PROMISED A PLEASING HIT, THE BAD MAN"
MelodramatiC Comedy To Be Presented By Resident
 Company Here

"The Bad Man." offering of the resident company at the Lyric thea tre this week, will be presented with a complete scenic investiture and with a cast said to be comparable to the one which thrilled Broadway and made 1t laugh last winter.
 'The Bad Man" is a melodramatic comedy or comedy melodrama, whichever is the most pleasing way to look at it. The thrills come in its situations and the laughs are sup piled by some of the cleverest lines ever written, 1t Is said.
 As Rancho Lopez, the bad man, a Mexican bandit, John c. MacFarlane has a great role. The bad man is picturesque. MT. MacFarlane makes the bad man thoroughly human, it Is said. Hazel Corinne Is cast as Mrs. Pell, wife of the vallain, because the bad man isn't the villain, and has a strong role. Arthur Byron Is in a good comedy part. Sherold Page, Raymond Bramley, Franklyn George and other members of the company are well cast.
 The action takes place on the Mex ican border, where Gilbert Jones is struggling to maintain his mort gagged ranch against Morgan Pell.
 w ltH every lHluB iiiS lCdtHCu hAV point where the ranch Is in jeopardy and Pell Is getting fractious because he has learned that his wife loves Gilbert, in stalks Pancho Lopez and his men. They make the Americans prisoners and prepare to run off with the women. But In Jones. the bandit leader recognizes the man who befriended him when he was sorely wounded few years before.
 Lopez changes his mind. He de- cides to put the Jones house in or der. And he does so. He outwits Pell. He makes a happy ending of the romance between Lucia and Gil bert a logical thing.

 Notices

It would be hard to say just which is the outstanding feature of the "all-star" vaudeville bill at Loew's Bijou for the first half of this week beginning MoSday afternoon, it is claimed. As an added attraction, there is a screen version of Carey Wilson's stirring romance of the South seas, Lost and Found;" a special Goldwyn production, based on a story of tropical passions.
 One Cf the vaudeville acts is that of Kerwis Krayona and company, who promise a revelation in art in their introduction of some wonder full combination electrical drawing, paintings and electrical effects. The team of Minnette and Bryant prom ise an act of charm, pep and per sonality. A comedy skit will be the Cffering of Lou Brown and Muriel Rogers, in "The Clubman and the Trimmer" full of chatter, songs and dances.
 Something unusual by way of blackface comedy, according to critics. is the offering of Rogers and Gregory, who are said to manage to inject some fine song numbers into the Dark Moments" and the va riety of the bill is enhanced consid- erably b. the Caporal Trio, two men and a woman, in their revue of songs and dances, backed by a special cy- clorama setting.
 The picture, Lost and Found" is said to be one mass of color, drama and powerful emotion, superbly acted by Pauline Starke, House Peters, Rosemary Theby, Antonio Moreno, George Seigmann, William V Mong, Carl Harbaugh, Mary Jane Irving and others.
