THEATRES

last year,

In THE Flirt," the attraction at
Ditmas theatre today, playgoer5 will
find an entirely satisfactory dramati-
zation Of Booth Tarkington's brill
liant story of American life.
Enjoyable from start to finish, it
carries a lesson to the modern young
come dissatisfied with life just be-
cause father can't give everything
that some of her friends have. But
the lesson Is so deftly handled that
one doesn't realize 1t Ia there until
every last foot OF film has been run
The vein of humor that runs through
makes smiles and tears alternate.
and after all that is the test Of a
successful p~hotoplay.
The production is a Universal-
Jewel and was filmed at Universal
City under the direction Of Hobart
Henley.
The cast Is notable. Eileen Percy
has the title role. Helen Jerome
Eddy does her best work and George
Nichols takes his place among truly
great character actors for his par,
as the father of the story. Nell
Craig, Harold Goodwin, Tom Ken
needy, Lydia Knott, Lloyd Whitlock
Dorothea Wolbert. Bert Roach, Ed
ward Hearn and William Welsh
complete the roster of celebrities.
Not yet a celebrity, but destined tc
be one, as Buddy Messenger, a kid
who plays the small brother " the
drama. The natural humor of this
boy is perhaps the outstanding sur
prise of the production and adds &c
the spontaneous humor.
