THEATERS
WEIR
Starting Monday.

starting MONDAY.
Is there anyone who did not read
and enjoy Sir Anthony Hopes "Pris-
oner of Zenda," and its enthralling
sequel, Rupert of Hentzau"? OF
course there may be some such, but
it is hard to believe. Following close
on the heels of the books were the
stage versions in which many promi-
nent actors took part, and now best
of all come the cinemas. The Prison
er of Zenda, a Metro production, had
successful run last year, and it is
prophesieds that the Selznick Distrib-
uting Corporations Rupert of Hent-
Eau, which opens at the Weir theater
on Monday, will out-distance all pre-
vious photoplay winners.
While Rupert" is somewhat of
costume picture, it has an unusually
strong story with many dramatic sit
uations, and altho Director Victor
Herman gave much time and atten-
ton to the costuming of the piece, and
no money was spared in making them
perfect in every detail, he devoted
the greater part of his energies to
the transferring of the romance and
adventure of the authors story to the
screen. For after all, the important
thing in a photoplay is not how the
characters are dressed, but what they
do and how they do it.
1t is said that never before in screen
history has such a cast of celebrities
appeared in any one production as
may be seen in Rupert of Hentzau.
Elaine Hammerstein, Bert Lytell,
Lew Cody, Bryant Washburn, Hobart
Bosworth, Claire Windsor, Irving
Cummings, Mitchell Lewis, Elmo Lin
coin and Marjarie Daw are all popu-
lar stars, while Adolphe Menjou, Nj
and Gertrude Aston are well known
gel De Brullier, Josephine Crowell
for their many splendid portrayals
in leading roles.
Bert Lytell, Hobart Bosworth and
Bryant Washburn played in the stage
version of Rupert of Hentzau, which
they felt was of great benefit to them
in their screen characterizations

BTJOU
Sunday Monday.

Gay comedy, popular musical num-
bers and aerial novelties are pleas
ingly mingled on the new vaudeville
bill at the Bijou theater on Sunday
and Monday next.
The Four Dodges, a quartette of
talented young ladies in a singing,
whistling and dancing revue, show
ability and class as terpsichorian ar
lists whose versatility has no limit.
They offer an act that is charmngly
costumed together with a stage set
ting of special Grapes forming a pic
ture beautiful to behold. All of their
numbers are carefully selected and
done with exquisite taste and artis-
try.
Elliott & Burke in "Oh, Henry"
are a comedy producing couple with
a penchant for laughter and knowl-
edge of knowing how to put their ma
terial over to the satisfaction and de-
light of their auditors.
Billy Tam furnishes his quota of
comedy as an eccentric comedian. He
does a bit of everything, but does it
well and in an entertaining manner.
Allen & Allen feature their aerial
novelty of strength and beauty show
ing many thrilling and sensational
novelties that are destined to prove
popular and entertaining.

English film production; and his
amazement was prompted by the law
ish expenditure in picture making on
these shores as against the penury
of producers in John Bulls domain.
He declares that American film pro-
ducers have naught to fear from Eng
fish competition for many years to
come.
"Their methods are most print
tive" says Mr.. Wallace, "and they
certainly cannot be accused of an
orgy of spending in the making of
their pictures. There is no such thing
as a contract, and, in consequence,
everything is done by day work"

Confession.
By Listener-In-

i Confession.
We thought we could take our
radio or elave 1t.
Last night we tried to leave it.
But alas and alackaday, we had
gone too far; too often resorted to
the little turn of the dial to take
us away from the cares of a work.
aday world, too eagerly had sought
to lose ourSelf in that vague, but
irresistible, realm Of radio.
We make the confession without
reservation. We are an addict--per
haps incurbale, not caring to be
cured.
Through the generosity Of a
friend, a brace Of theater tickets
were presented to US yesterday. We
prepared ourselves for the occasion
with care and precision, gIancing
only occasionally at the fascinating
black box that at first appeared
hurt at its neglect then boldly, after
the manner of wicked women, at
tempted to entice us from our re.
solve.
We carried on and repulsed the
final attack of the dials with vio-
lent slamming Of the door as we
proceeded to the playhouse.
Then came the dire effects Of alb.
stinence from a well-founded habit.
We became restless and nervous.
we were shaken with the craving
for our easy chair and headphonee
and the evening appeared about to
drag on Unfortunately.
Who were these actors that
strutted before US and left nothing
to the imagination when compared
to those charming creatures Of our
fancy who could be heard without
displaying their physical selves!
They were perfect; these people
had their faults.
And so we suffered on and on
until the final curtain.
But once outside the theater we
completed a mad dash for home, our
pulses pounding in anticipation.
Removing our coat, we rolled
back a sleeve and took from a box
little. white tablet.
Then swallowing the aspirin to
relieve our headache we gave the
dial q spin.
Life once more was worth living.
Punishment.
OF course, by our mad abstention
from our habit, we deserve some
punishment.
From all accounts, It comes in
