 ROLES IN FILM

Irene Rich, who portrays the lead ing feminine role in Behold This Woman which will be shown at Temple theater all this week.
 She impersonates siren of the most vampish .caliber and acts comedy with delicious abandon. With wigs and numerous bizarre gowns she becomes q dozen different women, yet all there is the role of Louise Maurel, with whose life the photoplay deals.
 So completely does Miss Rich change her personality in the studio scenes that once would scarcely believe that she is the same woman who portrays the Louise Maurel of private life.

BIG STAGE BUILT
 FOR SHRINE SHOW
'Masque Of Pandora To Feature Girls And
 Music

The Masque of Pandora. which will be presented next week in the open-air on Masonic field, Eighteenth street and Seventh avenue, by Zamora Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, promises to be one of the finest spectacular dramas ever seen here. The big pro- duction abounds with glorious music, plenty of comedy, wonderful acting and it's presentation calls for unusual dramatic talent, to which is added more than 300 dancing girls, according to promise.
 Supporting the performers will be Zamora Temple band and the Pandora orchestra In addition to those who take part in the stage production, scores of dressmakers, tailors, shoe makers and haberdashers are having their hands full to supply the costumes.
 Birmingham music lovers and amuse- ment seekers have not had such feast of melodies and romance in some time as is offered in The Masque of Pan dora. Reservations have been received from Montgomery, where Pandora was recently presented. To see play once and enjoy it is one thing, but to travel miles to sit through it a second time, is a real test, the producers claim. ,
 Stage carpenters and electricians are completing the big stage, and all the effects will be tried out Saturday. Scienic artists are painting the special curtains and drops.
 The third act will introduce a novel bird dance by 100 young women in silken bird-like costumes.

|CRITICS PRAISE | CAPTAIN BLOOD
The New York Telegram
 Speaks Splendidly Of | Great Photoplay

In last Sundays issue of the New York Morning Telegraph, Sam Comfy motion picture critic for that paper had this to say of Captain Blood," the latest Sabatini novel.
 .'The premiere at the Astor theater this past week of Captain Blood dis closes Sabatini in splendid mood The production is endowed with intelli. gent direction, by David Smith. IL contains romance, color, suspense and glorious thrills. Captain Blood excels in seq fight scenes, and is sell 0ut for any class of theater audience. This story, 1t seems to me, contains better film material than any of the other Sabatini novels and its transposition to the screen bore out this surmise."
 Captain Blood contains the most tween a fleet of barques. They are imagination with their daring and pic. the foregoing that am rather partial to vitagrpah's Captain Blood. That's true, and not only that, but will go a step further and say that seldom have seen anything that, in my opinion contains 80 much in the way of TO- nance, color, suspense and glorious thrills"
 Thus does one of the largest New York papers sum up the latest and greatest Sabatini novel in picturized form, Captain Blood" which will have its premiere southern presentation at the Temple theater next week with a complete musical score and a stage pro- logue, which will prove excellent from every angle. Due to the length of the picture and prologue, patrons coming at the and 9 o'clock performances only, will be able to hear the prologue, Captain Blood Yo-Ho."

GIVE ONE SHOW
 TO WOMEN ONLY
Princess Wahletka Gives Special Performance
 Friday Morning

No one but women and girls and none under IS years of age will be admitted to Loew's BijoN Friday morning at 10 o'clock, when an exclusive and spe- cfal performance will be given by Princes Wahletka," the American Indian seeress, who will answer any and all questions and reveal many secrets, which she could not do in a regular perofrmance with a mixed audience present.
 Special arrangements have been made by Manager A. E, Vinson of Loew's Biiou that no man be admitted under any conditions and no male employees of the house will be in attendance dur ing this special performance, which will close at noon.
 Prior to the appearance of Princess Wahletka the screen feature "The Tenth Woman" based on the famous novel by Harriett T. Comstock, will be shown, followed by the demonstration of the psychic powers of the famous Cherokee Indian Princess, who is the daughter of the late Minnie Spy Buck, who met her death while attempting the heroic rescue of human life in the great Iroquois theater fire at Chi cago.
 It was in the little town of Talaquah in the Creokee country that little Wahletka first went to school, and where she astounded her tutors and only by her quick learning, but by her remarkable occult gifts, anticipating her lessons and foretelling events cor rectly long in advance of their han pening.
 It was Princess Wahletka who fore told in Atlanta papers what Judge Caverly's decision would be in the Leo poldLoeb case, week before the de- eision was rendered. and it was she also who predicted the exact time of President Harding's death and other national events of recent years.
 The same prices will prevail for this special performance Friday morning as for regular afternoon performances, and Manage A. E. Vinson urges all to "come early and avoid the rush."
