ROYAL Is GOOD.
Jack Edwards Has Had Time Trying
TO BE Meanest Man.

Jack Edwards in the "Meanest Man
in the World" being played at the
Royal this week by the Edna Park
Players. is at his best in the role of
Dick Clarke, who endeavors to be
the meanest man in the world, but
whose heart is still so soft that he is
unable to kick man that is down.
The "Meancst Man in the World"
is play that is one continuous laugh.
from the time the curtain rises on
the first scene, until it drops on the
final act. Practically every word ut
tered by the players contains a laugh.
and this was well demonstrated by the
continuous peal of laughter that came
from the Sunday night audience, one
that packed the house.
Dick Clarke is young lawyer,
who. pcnniless and ridiculed. decides
10 become the meanest man in the
world. The transformation that he
undcrgoes is filled with humor. How
ever, he soon discovers that he is q
poor imitation of the real meanest
man in the world. who is none other
than George McManus. whose face,
walk and in fact. every feature, de-
picts a grumpy old villager.
Miss Irene Hubbard, in the role of
a young business woman, has an OPP
portunity TO display her real ability
MS an actress in he "Mcanest Man
in the World" And she plays her
part remarkably well. She first tries
TO hate the youthful would-be mean
est man in the world, but soon learns
to love him and before the end of tho
play they are desperately in love with
each otker.
Percy Barbat lives up to everything
that has been said of him as an actor.
He plays two roles in the "Meanest
Man in the World first depicting a
New York business man. and next as
an ancient Irish cobbler.
Maurice Penfold plays the part of
the office boy who later becomes
millionaire, and marries the stenog-
rapher. played by pretty Joyce Booth.
Madge Halter plays one of the less
or roles. She is the mother of the
young lawyer. Nora Deussen. San
Antonio girl, also deserves credit for
her excellent work o. Dick Clarke's
sister Crsig Nefso r. good IN fNe rVle

LOTS OF ACTION.
Dick Barthelmess and Dorothy Gish
Are at Their Best at RialtO.

1t is safe to say that the comedy
as well as the main picture at the
Rialto this week is we'll above the
average. Fury" featuring Richard
Barthelmess and Dorothy Gish. is
well named for there is action which
holds the audience spcllbound
throughout the picture. There arc
three fights in the pictures which are
staged exceptionally well. Both the
leading players arc said TO contend
that their work in this picture is the
best they have done yet.
At every performance Sunday the
house was completely filled and a
crowd of fans stood at the door al
most constantly during the afternoon.
The picture is an exciting sea
story. most of the events happening
aboard the LADY Spray" Dog"
Legion, captain Of the vessel and
father of Boy = Legion, Richard
Barthelmess, employs fearless,
tough and ready crew. The first fight
is staged aboard Dog" Lcytons ship
by two of the roughneck crew. The
two have a grudge against each other
and as the law of the shin is flight
it out" "Dog" Lcyton throws a knife
between the two men. Each endeavor
TO snatch it from the floor to sink
it deep into the others heart but just
as one of the men clutches the blade
in his bloody fingers, Boy jumps to
the rescue and Wrestling the knife from
the mans hand saves the dPher's life.
1t is most exciting fight and the
audience was held spellbound for sew
eral minutes.
Boys father is woman hater. He
also wants his son to hate all of
them. But Boy is in love with a
little girl at Limehouse who is wait
ing patiently for him to return. But
it 50 happens that the first mate. the
william. is in love with the same girl.
That of course causes trouble.
The comedy. which is parody on
