Harrington Is
Blessed Dean
BY JAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 13:-Blessed is
Booth Harrington. His stories are
fed into the movie mills and are spun
out as fabrics Of silk. The usual
plant of the authors is that only
shoddy is made of their virgin ma
terial.
These remarks are called forth by
THE Flirt," the latest photoplay
based on Harrington story. I also
have in mind the very excellent
movies that resulted from 'Penrod"
and Clarence"
1.-THE Flirt," on the screen, is not
quite the same as the original story.
In many ways it is a better story on
the screen. 1t seems to have more
body and finer gloss. However, its
end is raveled and then tied in the
usual ragged knot with which so
many movies are cursed.
Cora Madison, as you remember,
the central figure of THE F1irt," was
a Main Street belle, who tried to
vamp all of the good-lool1ing boys in
town. Pampered by her folk, she
finally brought them to the verge Of
shame and poverty. And after all OF
that. the movies reform her and leave
her In the peaceful and prosperous
family circle in the fade-out. Hobart
Henley, the director, is more ca
pable reformer than Booth Tarking-
ton, the author.
But aside from that mawkish end
ing, Henley did a masterful bit Of
work with the film. He mixed his
sentiment, pathos and comedy in ex-
act proportion. Life in the average
American home was truly pictured.
His characters were true.
Eileen Percy played tho title role.
Her permanent wave was a great as
set. 1t was a fitting frame for her
rather rigid features. Helen Jerome
Eddy, as the meek sister, served in
sharp contract. Miss Eddy IS an ac-
tress who is not seen often enough on
the screen. She has poise and camera
sense and the courage to look natural
when the action of the story demands
it even though in looking natural she
does not look beautiful A permanent

Second Week of robin Hood"
Begins Sunday at Circle.

Mankind owes a great deal to the
power Of motion pictures for taking
one back through the vista of years
bygone and showing how things were
when you were a tadpole and was
a fish"
Now comes Douglas Fairbanks and
takes folk back 500 years and reveals
to them how things looked and how
peopIe acted when Chivalry was at its
zenith. He accomplished this notably
in his latest United Artists produc-
ton. Douglas Fairbanks in Robin
Hood. " which begins the second week
Of its engagement at the Circle Sun
day.
The lows and SORROWS Of the stir
ring twelfth century in England have
been lived all over again in this mod
ern day before the camera and the
portrayal is deemed absolutely accu-
rate. this whole production being
based on every fact available in all
the records extant.
The castle of the Norman period,
surrounded by the inevitable deep
1noat. comes to the screen as the re
suit Of the consummate skill of Ameri-
can engineers. architects, artists and
artisans and it is unquestionably a
uerfect replica of the center Of kingiy
activity of 500 years ago. Perhaps
the most interesting single feature
Of this castle is the tremendous draw
bridge, which, when raised, makes the
b5g structure inaccessible. thanks TO
the depth and width of the moat. This
drawbridge is raised and lowered with
precision when needed and it serves

mounted soldiers and knights IN nu-
rnerous dashing charges in and out OF

NINE. LOUISE HOMER
STIRS ENTHUSIASM
Several Groups of Songs Rendered
by Famous Prima Donna in
Concert Here.

Nine. Louise Homer, like Mime. Schu-
mann Heink, has a personality that is
as charming to her audience as her
afternoon her program met with high
ly enthusiastic response, from an au-
dience that filled Poli's Theater to its
limit. The madame seemed to have a
cold that frightened some OF her higher
register notes. but her meZZo and con-
ira Ito tones We're full of rich resonance.
The program was opened with a
group Of Handels songs, varied in sub
ject and treatment. There were the gay
little rondo, Come and Trip It." the the
Flock" from THE Messiah" and the
aria from Julius Caesar" 'Empio diro

esting interpretations.
THE Mermaid's Song" by Haydn.
was one of the loveliest numbers sung
and showed madame'S low tones to spe-
cial advantage. 1t was followed by
Long, Long Ago as the encore.
The second group of German lieder
was interesting in that the singer
made the eRunciation of her German
as perfect and musical as her de-
lightful English. The wistful &c
wunsst ich doch den Veg Zuruck" OF
Brahms was the feature. Schubert $
"Serenade" also was given, with Still
as the Night" by Bohnl, as the en-
core.
Perhaps the third group, which con-
sisted Of several songs by her hus-
band, Sidney Homer. was the most
popular of the program. The Stormy
Evening" a song of woman's triumph,
was spirited and finely contrasted
with the idyllic Dearest" How S
My Boy?" was given a strong drama
tic reading and the final note sent a
shiver down the hearers spine akin
to that which always follows the last
chord of Der Erlkoenig." Mr.. Ho-
mers clever arrangement of THE
House that Jack Built" and Sing to

The two arias of the final group af-
forded good contrast. They were

"Chanson du Tigre." from Masse' S

Tschaikowsky's "PiIgrim's Song eff
fectively and inspired Carpenters mu-

TWO IDEAS
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There are two ideas that have been
pestering me. One of them is how
the world is but a reflection of our
own spirit. The other is how much
of our life Is pure imitation.
We are very apt to Judge the world
by ourselves. For mankind is the
great mirror in which the soul of the
individual sees itself.
am very shy of generalizations.
When a man says everybody does SO
and SO. everybody is like that, or
everybody feels so, suspect that he
is talking about himself.
In fact there are as many worlds
as there are people to look at the
world. The sun is smiling. the tom
tits are merriIy cheeping, the pea
cock is preening. and all nature is
joyous to the young fellow in love;
while to the miserable man with a
crouch the landscape is but collec-
tion Of hearse -plumeS.
Facts are nothing" said Jean
Moreau, but the ideas they signify,

NEW WORK BEGUN
AT ST. T.EL|zABETH'S
Construction of Buildings and
Broadening of Activities
Is Under Way.

Various plans for Improvement in
methods of treatment and admins
tration at st. Elizabeth's Hospital
were initiated during the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1923. according to the
annual report of the hospital, made
public today.
There is at present under construc
ton building to contain the vari-
Gus laboratories of the hospital, and
a building for the isolation of suffer-
ers from contagious diseases. y hy-
drotherapeutic room has been con-
structed in the Richardson group. and
in cooperation with the fire depart
ment of the District a survey of the
hospital has been made for the pur-
pose Of increasing the fire protection.
Occupational theraphy has been eX-
tended and co-ordinated, in order to
include a greater number of the Pa
tients who could receive its benefits,
broadening the class of vOcationS
which 1t included.
An additional associate internist
and an additional inferno have been
appointed in the department of in
ternal medicine, and patients suffer-
ing from tuberculosis have been
placed under the latter department,
thus assuring treatment by especially
qualified physicians. Extensive addi-
tions have been made to the general
operating room equipment, as well as
additions of ophthalmoIogical equip
ment. The hospital in the matter of
its operating room. the report said, is
now as thoroughly equipped as is a
general hospital.
On June 80, 1923. there were re-
naming in the hospital 4,1OS patients,
against $500 on June 80, 1922. an in
crease of 2GS patients. The total
number of patients under treatment
during the year was 4,927, while dis
charges. including deaths. numbered
819. Admissions totaled 1927, an in
crease of 176- The training school
graduated twenty-seven nurses. and a
Postgraduate school of neuropsychi-
airy was opened. giving a course of
