THEATRES

Charles F.. Blaney's dramas Were
all successful. He gagged his pub
lie to perfection, and his good juds-
ment is still in evidence in the de.
cision of C. B. c. Productions to re-
vive his plays. with all-star casts and
lavish scenic effects.
More to Be Pitied Than ScoTn-
ed is particularly adapted to the re-
quirements of the silver sheet, and
the first New York showings of the
finished picture evoked a storm OF
complimentary comment from the
critics.
The cast embraces J. Frank Glen

Baby Josephine Adair and other
players of national reputation.
The story rings true, and the
glimpses it affords Of life on the
stage are interesting in the extreme.
