Between the mere wearing of a cos tum, typical of a certain period in his tory, and the creation of a character truly representative of that period, there is a vast difference. Numerous screen stars are noted for their wardrobes be- cause they know how to wear the pre- vailing mode. They are the most copied fashion plates" in the world. Yet costumes of an earlier day completely submerge them. If they attempt to wear the styles of the Civil war period, they still are obviously 1924 girls dressed up" as in a masquerade.
 Thus, the casting of beautiful Flor ence Vidor in the title role of Bar bara Frietchie," one of the most inter esting screen events of the season, proves to be an exceptionally happy selection. For she gives to her char acterization a charming simplicity and unaffected sweetness that fairly breathe the spirit of time in which the story is laid. She does not merely wear cos tunes of the period. From the time she first appears in a balcony doorway of the Frietchie home in Fredericktown, Md, she ceases to be Florence Vidor and becomes Barbara Frietchie. She really lives the part.

BAD BOY'SPRANK
 PROVED COSTLY
But Artist BOileau Was Able To Get His Money
 Back

A rush of traffic seethes through the block of West Thirtieth street between Broadway and Fifth avenue at all hours of the day, and business certain ly has claimed the block for it's own, says a New York letter to the Phil adelphia Public Ledger. On the south west corner of Fifth avenue once stodo the old Holland house, one of the finest hostelries of it's time, and across the street, at II West Thirtieth, was the studio of the late Baron Philip Boil eau. creator of pretty girls for the Sat urday Evening Post, the best of cooks, a charming companion and one of the most interesting of men. He married one of his pretty girls. They passed the summers in Douglaston, l.. l., where the artist had a romantic old colonial home, surrounded by a fragrant and appealing garden.
 The title of baron was Boileau's all right, but he never used it nor hinted at his nobility. He was too much of an American for anything foreign, yet he once owned a charming villa in Mi Ian. He had a passion for music in his early life and was the author of some wonderful compositions which he

MARION DAVIS CAPITOL'S STAR
Little Old New York To Play Monday And Tuesday 8

In this age of fiappers and jazz and the upsetting ofeal1 traditions the sight of an old-fashioned girl-one of a hun dred years ago with her winsome, mod est charm and her feminine ruffles and frills, will be refreshing sight. Marion Davies as Patricia O'Day will bring to the screen just such girl in Little Old New York" which plays the Capitol Monday and Tuesday. Patricia is gay and full of fun, but she also has the shyness and reserve which characterized the girl of long ago and made her so al- turing. In this delightful screen story Miss Davies has another big role which is worthy follow-up for Princess Mary Tudor, which brought Marion Davies such worldwide fame in When Knighthood Was In Flower" Bs
 In the supporting cast are such play CTS as Harrisonl Ford, Mahlon ,.Hamil- ton, Mary Kennedy and Harry Wat son.
 Special music has been arranged by Philippe s. Rowell, the Capitol organ ist, and will be offered each evening af- ter seven o'clock.
 The attractions for the remainder of the week at the Capitol will be "The Tenth Woman" on Wednesday and Thursday. Gloria Swanson in "A So- ciety Scandal" for Friday and Satur- day.

VARIETY SHOWN
 IN LYRIC BILL
Music, Song, Comedy And Dance, Feature New
 Show

In arranging program for vaudeville audiences one of the first things con sidered is the variety of entertainment that may be provided. In the new bill which opens at the Lyric Monday this essential quality has been preserved. and the five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville to. be presented offer wide range of interesting and diverting pleas ure of patrons of the beautiful play house.
 The headliner is put on by Bragdon and Morrissey, assisted by Billy Trout, under sthe title of 'HTune Up."
 Tune Up" is going to be dance. Bragdon and Morrissey assisted by Billy Trout offer a composite of music, song, comedy and dance called Tune Up. The former is provided with the cornet, drums and saxophone. The singing, comedy batter and the dancing is invidual and effective effort.
 The added attraction will bring back the days of youth to almost everyone. "Playtime" is the title of the captivat- ing number offered by the Hamilton Sisters and Fordyce. This trio, as Riddles, put on number through which they romp with all the joy of youth and bring much of it to their audiences, re- ports state.
 The special feature is a musical novel ty. It brings Boba, Esthonian boy musician, in a program which includes as wide a variety of instruments as of selections. His program includes a violin solo, the xylophone, xylophone blindfolded, concertina and concludes with another performance on the xylo, phone.

The finest black face comedy of the year. This is the promise Loew's Bijou makes to it's patrons for this week, because Jack Wilson and his company of artists will be the headline attraction at the popular playhouse all this week. For the benfit of those who may not know it, Jack Wilson is known as the funniest of all black eace men, which is saying lot indeed.
 MT. Wilson has with him a cast of humorous artists that is of the highest rating, including Charles Forsythe, Ruth Wheeler and Tiny Willie Ward. "A Nonsencical Revue" is the name un- der which Mir. Wilson and associates have gathered together great combina- tion of mirth, melody and dancing.

tt Have you ever stopped to consider how vitally important it is that all of us should laugh occasionally? It is just as necessary for our we'll being to laugh as to exercise, or to eat, for that matter. This, at least. is the opinion of the worlds foremost psychopathic experts, who repea tedly have issued ad- vises that the world would be better place to live in if we would laugh more.
 Consequently, any person engaged in the business of making us laugh is a boon to humanity. Harold Lloyd, D.L. Doctor of Laughs) is doing his share towards the betterment of our well be- ing with his feature length comedies. the latest of which is "Hot Water" and

ANYBODY'S COMPASS

If one floats nail upon water its magnetism is sufficient to make it take a norh-south direction like the compass needle. A nail of considerable length should he chosen and thrust through two bits of cork, one at either end, and then laid on water. At first it will be pulled about by the currents in the wa ter, even when these are weak. But as soon as it comes, to rest it will gradu- ally take the north-south position, al- though one must often wait several minutes for the north-south direction to be assumed-Dr. A.

THE CONVENTIONAL HELPER A true story from the border:


 Rum runner approaches farmer and offers him $50 for the use of his barn for one day.
 "What, I'm bringing a carload of booze through tomorrow night, and I want to lay up during the day. N "All right" says the farmer, who watches the rum runner out of sight and promptly notifies the federal agents in Newport.
 The officers watch the barn all night, all the next day, and all the next night. Nothing doing, so they gave it up and went home.
 A few days later the rum runner re- appears and offers the farmer his $50.
 But, you didn't use my barn." stut- tered the farmer.
 ''No," replied the. rum runner, 'but while you had the federal officers tied up here, I ran four loads down the back road Here's your money."-Rut- land Herald.

AND so IT WAS

A man with an uncanny mania for juggling with figures, produced pencil and paper and said to friend:
 Put down the number of your living brothers. Multiply it by two All three. Multiply the result by five. Add the number of living sisters. Multiply the result by ten. Add the number of dead brothers and sisters. Substract 15O from the result"
 The friend did it.
 "Now," said the other with a cunning smile, "the. right-hand figure will be the number of deaths, the middle figure the number of living sisters, and the left hand figure the number of living broth ers."
 And it was so.-Tid-Bits London.

will be seen tomorrow at the Strand theater.
 Lloyd is seen as young married man who is continually in 'hot water" with everyone, from his inlaws to traffic cops and street car conductors. He goes through all the trials and tribulations that have beset> married men since that fatal day when Adam took a bite of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. The Eve, in his case, whose fam fly cause a great deal of the trouble, is none other than Jobyna Ralston, whose ravishing beauty caused so much eye strain, when she was seen as the dain- ty heroine in "Why Worry? and Girl Shy"
 Hot Water" reaches new heights of hilarity.

WISDOM IN SUFFERING

He is Wlse who at last sees in suffer- ing only the light that it sheds on his soul; and whose eyes never rest on the shadow it casts upon those who have sent it towards him. And wiser still is the man to whom sorrow and joy not only bring increase of consciousness, but also the knowledge that something exists superior to consciousness even.- Maurice Maeterlinck.
