adults at Monday afternoons show
and got over nicely. They perform
in animal skins and have some nice
comedy, fair dancing and a novelty
song. A bow.
Number 2, Sheppard and OFT, the
usual line of love patter and one or
two songs. She is fair and he not
much better. The audience evidently
didn't like them.
Number g. Will st. James and COM
pany offer a comedy siSit, Judge
True" in which an old judge re-
unites young couple. AS the judge
Mr.. st. James is good; the other two
male and female, get by. A bow.
Number 4, Wells and Anger, have
some good and a little poor comedy
which proved the hit of the bill. They
sing some, dance little and talk
much. Two bows.
Number 5, Peters and LeBuff, with
a trampoline and trapese. are the
best act on the bill. Their routine
is good and they have few really
thrilling stunts" In hard position
they held most of the house ana
took a bow.
The photoplay is The Forgotten
Law" starring Milton Sllls. A good
picture with a plot of revenge gained
through the application of a forgot
ten law.

"sINGED WINGS" AT STRAND
Is ENTERTAINING


Perhaps the reviewer is preiudieed.
but frankly, pep" is a quality which
many stars lack and one which
Rebe Daniels has In an abundance,
Regardless of the vehicle In which
she is east there is something about
the star herself which makes 1t good.
Therefore, given a good supporting
cast and fair story such as 'Singed
Wings" the Strand offering for the
week, and the result Is good, light
entertainment.
The direction of this photo is fine
and the entire cast seems to have
entered into the fairy story action
with understanding of it's values.
Robert Bower as the helpless old
grandfather. and Ernest Torrance as
"Emilio." half-wit outplays the stars
by several degrees. and this isn't de-
tracing from the abilities OF Miss
Daniels and Conrad Nagei. The pho
Biography Is excellent and the action
smooth.
The daughter of an old Spanish
family. once the rulers of California,
is forced to become a dancer to SUP
port her invalid grandfather. Oppor-
tunity to become a social favorite is
offered and accepted which enragcs
the half-wit lover of her earlier life,
At function through mistaken iden-
tity a shot intended for dancer
strikes her understudy and later a
rescue from the insane clown brings
the hero and heroine together.

.rHE DANGEROUS AGE"

"THE DANGEROUS AGE"
HAS RIG TWO-FIsTED "PUNCH'
The national board of review has
rated THE Dangerous Age when is
the Trianons feature for the week.
as a 100 per cent picture, rating
with which the reviewer concurs IL
has thrills. is excellent as to action,
photography, and direction and has a
Mot which is so skillfully woven as
to unwind itself without effort, III
1t is weak in any point it is in hu-
NOR, yet there are many chuokies, IL
not laughs in the spectacle of a man
of 40 trying to play 2o-year-oid
kids" game.
The cast is without exception ex-
cellent with Lewis Stone and Cleo
Madison in star roles which they fiji
admirably and with sure knowl-
edge of the characters which they
portray.
It may be the impression of some
that IL is trite, but no one who
knows anything of the inner secrets
of married life will find it 20. Every
woman knows that there is certain
time in her married life when, more
carefully than at any other, she must
regard her husband as a big boy and
must treat him accordingly. Every
man knows the lure of another wom-
ans kiss. These two are pages from
life and the producers, the cast, and
directors of 1.-THE Dangerous Age
have made fine picture of them.
There is punch in everyone OF the
scenes of the play with big, heart
gripping scene at the end. Thrills?
A good horse race, race in an auto,
with limited train which ends when
the car Is stalled directly in the path
of the engine. That's just part OF
them. a.
i There is a wholesome lesson in IT
| for every married couple--most 81
them won't get 1t but it's worth the
trial from all.
The plot Is of wife who allows
herself to become just mother and
lhousekeeper, of her husbands search
alone, for romance, and the result.

"NIGHT LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD.
IS ALCAZAR FEATURE

If anyone wants proof that there
is no place in the movies for prepa-
ganda a viewing of Might Life in
Hollywood" the feature picture At
the Alcazar this week, should satisfy
them. This picture Is an answer to
the criticism which has been di-
rected at the movie folk at Holly
wood. As such it is good. and by the
same token as photoplay it is only
average.
The titling is clever, the scenes
are good. while the views of the
inside life of the studios will prove
interesting. This Is about all there
is to it.
Gale Henry acts the part OF a
country mumpkin who is afraid she'll
be harmed and afraid she won't
J. Frank Glendon Is as bad as Miss
Henry Ia good. Several stars are
introduced. which Is part OF the lin
side stuff which makes the pic
ture. Josephine Hill is the best OF
the lot.
The Photography is excellent and
the scenes which show the night
life as it isn't" are artistic and
elaborate. The Denishawn dancers
provide a most artistic series of caba-
ret scenes which will please the most
fastidious. 1t isn't "risque" in any
particular and any child can enjoy
any part of it.
The Plot
Is of, <hil-billy' who goes to
Hollywood to see wild women and
what he finds there.

Report of Condition of

skating Unlawful
The Ensley police department is
having considerable trouble in keep
ing young boys and girls from skat-
ing on the pav-s streets. This is
against the law And officers state
there Is great danger of serious ac-
cident should they slip and fall in
front of an approaching automobile.
A large number of skates were
brought to the city hall Monday by
officers which were taken away from
the children skating on the paved
streets and they will be held there
until the parents of the children come
for them when they will be asked to
keep their children from skating on
the streets.
It is also against the law for chill
dren to skate in the business district
of Ensley but they can skate in the
residential section of the city as
much as they please. Several narrow
escapes from accidents to children
skating on the streets have been re-
ported and the police department is
trying to break up this practice in
order to avert serious accidents.
