girl, and she had carried 1t on with
her grandchildren But she never had
heard it In music.
In her eagerness she stepped to the
parlor doorway, which was almost hid
den in greenery. Suddenly two pairs
of arms were inclosing her neck, and
one pair belonged to Rose. Other
arms were reaching for her; and be-
yond, hesitating Sam, who was too
big to kiss anybody, lifted his arms.
"Why-why, my dears," murmured
Grandma, looking bewildered.
Look up," laughed Sue.
Grandma did, and there was huge
bunch of mistletoe over the door.

There was raised chair decorated
with holly and mistletoe, near one side
of the fireplace. Grandma was con-

large one near her end, and sundry

The big stocking was laid on her

recognized things she had wished, and
books she had mentioned desire to

perfect housekeeping, loved to read.

sTRAND-wAGEs OF VIRTUE

It is a better Gloria Swanson that
screen followers see in her latest
Paramount picture, wages of Vir-
tue" at the Strand, Friday, matinee
at 8 P. M. and evening. Her acting
gives further proof to the claim
that she stands foremost among
the feminine stars of the screen.
Algiers, the French Foreign Le-
gion, and a colorful love story are
presented in "Wages of Virtue"
Gloria Swanson's newest Paramount
picture, an Allen Dwan produc-
ton. The story is an adaptation
of Percival Wren's novel, with Ben
Lyon in the leading mans role
opposite the star and Norman Tre-
vor, Ivan Linow, Joe Moore and
others in the cast.
To those who remember Gloria
If "Manhandled" and the Gloria of
"Her Love Story" it is said that
here's a role that combines the
finer moments of both earlier char
acterizations. As Carmelita, the star
is both the exotic, bizarre Gloria
of the Arthur Stringer story and
the motherly Gloria of Mrs. Rine-
hart's romance.
Hers is the role of a young
Neapolitan girl of the slums who
becomes the pride of the Foreign
Legion, a little mother to "men
without a country" Ben Lyon is
recruit in the Legion, young
American with whom Carmelita falls
in love. Trevor plays John Boule,
veteran of the internationally fa-
nous French regiment and Joe
Moore has the role of a New York
gangster also in the ranks of the
Legion. Linow has a "heavy" role
as Luigi, ex-strong man for a side
show and now the regimental bully.
1t is about these characters that the
story revolves.
Forrest Halsey wrote the screen
play. Armand Cortez, Adrienne d
Ambricourt and Paul Panzer are in
cluded in important supporting
roles. "Wages of Virtue" is Gloria
al Through.

A Treat For
The HOLIDAYS
NOTED PLAY AT TRENT
THEATRE

One of the most notable at
fractions in many years is "The
Fool", by Charming Pollock, which
will be presented by the Trent
Theatre Stock Co. at the Trent
Theatre, the week of January 5.
This play was sensational drama
tic triumph for more than year in
New York and during run of six
months in Boston. No new play in
the early days of its career ever
before swept the country with the
same interest, and this occurred
first before "The FooP was six
months old, with the same intense
desire to see it continuing. There
is hardly a town of any size that
has not heard of "The Fool" For
months past every theatre manager
in the country has been beseiged
witr inquiries asking when the play
would come their way.
Now that 1.-THE Fool is an
nounced, there is likely to be calls
for seats to be reserved immediate
ly. If any play can pack theatre
it should be "The Fool" 1t has been
an enigma for years among thea
trical managers just why single
play that has neve been seen out
side Of one Of the big cities, should
sweep through the air as it were.
of the entire company, as the one
play that must not be missed and
like an endless chain keep going on
and on until it ultimately gets
there There may be a reason for
this in the present instance, since
"The Fools" message is vital to
everybody and penetrates the think
ing mind as no other play has ever
done Thinking people cannot get
"The Foop out of their heads after
leaving the theatre, and it may be
that their subconscious minds are
working on the receptive subcon-
scious minds of others and so the
thought of "The Fool" is carried
everywhere. Anywhere, it is an in
terseting thing for some psyeholo-
gist to explain.
