HOPE HAMPTON
WINS NEW
LAURELS

Tell me not In mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream"
Such must have been the phiIoso-
ply of David Belasco, dean Of the
American stage, in entering the
realm of silent drama. And among
his first efforts in this new field
comes 1.-THE Gold Diggers," which
was presented at the Rialto yester-
day to large and enthusiastic
audience, and being the picturiza-
ton by Warmer Brothers of the
successful stage play of the same
name from the fluent pen Of Avery
Hopwood.
A surprising success as d child
OF the legitiamte stage, 1.-THE Gold
Diggers" promises to be equally
as successful in its adoption. We
listened to the bursts of laughter
coming from the audience; we saw
smiling faces become sober masks
as they watched the little gold
digger" become elltangled In the
net of her own weaving. The mask
deepened, and then, gradually,
the storm passed and they emerged
from the theater wreathed In
smiles. The audience pronounced
THE Gold Diggers' a success. We
heartily concur.
When we make a hasty survey
OF such pictures as say, for in
stance, 1.-THE. Light in the Dark"
and remember Hope Hampton for
that performance, we could not but
wonder yesterday at the change.
Surely, new Hope Hampton with
revealing sidelights on person
atty we did not dream existed; q
Hope Hampton who startled us by
her fine portrayal Of the flippant
gold digger" and who suddenly
became the wistfulg girl longing
for. the love she believes she had
betrayed. Miss Hampton is by far
the outstanding figure Of the pic
ture and she is deserving of the
utmost credit. Among the most
spectacular acting, is her rendition
OF a Spanish dance which she car.
ries off with the true skill Of an
artist.
George Wilde, director OF the
Rialto orchestra, has arranged an
interpretive score which is de-
nghtful and greatly enhances the
picture. The musical feature Of
the bill alone is worth price OF adj
mission.

PLdvS Hostess.

Marion Davies is as charming
a host as she is a player. To q
group Of film writer's she demon
strated this fact in the course Of
a luncheon at the Cosmopolitan
studio last week. The function

cause no hotel in the city could

Among those who aided Miss

were General Manager Utassi,

which she wore with genuine
grace, Ralph Graves, Luther

busy man.
The tournament shots were un-
usual. The participants slammed

fashion duly indicating the result
of a season Of training that was
anything but gentle.

THE scene which moved Caruso
the most was that In which the
great tenor discovers he has lost
his voice. and the pathos and
tragedy Of this episode appealed
to Caruso strongly. When I
acted the scene I used to glance
at the box in which Caruso sat
and think what a tragedy it
would be to him If his glorious
golden voice should be lost to
the world through sickness or
some other stroke Of misfortune.
and 1 pondered on it often. I
think that Caruso also must have
had the same thought.
There was no one who grieved
more than I did when I heard of
Caruso's illness. I hoped and
prayed that his wonder voice
would once again ring out at
the Metropolitan like a trumpet
call from heaven. I could not
help but think then, as I do now
how Caruso used to brood over
that scene in The Great Lover
Then came the news of his

POLA NEGRI In

One wouldn't call 1.-THE Cheat"
Pola Negri's best vehicle, for there
always is that pacemaker, Pas
sion" to remember when one uses
the yardstick. 1t is, however, one
of her most entertaining efforts,
due principally to the directoral
efforts of George Fitzmaurice, and
the cast headed by the exotic Pola

Roche and Jack Holt. The picture
Is on view at Loew'S Columbia,
where it is entertainingly supple
mented by tuneful music and short
films, including the international
Newsreel Of news events, topics OF
the day and an Aesop fable.
The story of 1.-THE Cheat" deals
with the wealthy girl of Latin
American parentage, Carmelita de
Cordoba, who, to avoid wedding
an old man chosen by her father,
elopes with young American. In
Paris she is loved by an art swim
der, disguised as an East Indian
prince, who follows her to New
York.
The girl is disinherited by her
father, and unused to poverty, ac-
cepts the supposed Hindu's offer
of money with which to gamble.
At first she wins, then loses, not
only her own money, but a charity
fund entrusted to her. Panic
stricken, she borrows from the
prince and promises to dine with
him alone in return for the loan%
At this juncture her husband
wins a small fortune by putting
over a lumber deal, and gives her
$25, 000.' She writes q check for
the amount due the Hindu and
carries it to his home. He tells

but desires her. When she seeks
to escape he drags her to a table
and brands her as a cheat" From

its introduction of Imagery which
exerts a strong influence over
the lives of those concerned in
the story.
Mack Sennett's latest, Down

The screen version of "The

by Clara Berenger, and embraces
a cast including Agnes Ayres,
Jack Holt, Charles De Roche,
Robert Agnew, Mary Aston, Ethel
Wales, Leo White, Bertram Johns
and others.
1.-THE Marriage Maker deals
with a penniless Englishman.
Lord Stonbury, who is about to
marry a girl he doesn't love
for her money. His dilemma is
aggravated by the announcement
py the girl ne really loves that
she will not marry him because
Of his poverty.
into this situation steps q
faun-half beast and half man
who offers to straighten out mat
tiers. Stonbury agrees to accept
assistance, and the faun is prop

ciety as Sylvani, a noted italian
prince.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
ohur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
YOU can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved BY the addition of other ingre-
dents at a small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because It
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with ii and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; BY morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica--
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.
