P0NJ0LA IS A

We recommend 'Ponjola'-Kaf-

would forget the present and go

transport, and the fadeout will
find the subject bringing HIM

r1er OF Kipling, with the Rho
desian trails and kopIes, having
done q lot Of soldering there
with the Tenth Hussars. Tho
story is adapted from Cynthia
Stockley's highly colored best
seller Of the same name. A
very literal screen version Of the
book has been made and the
plot may be catalogued under a
familiar formula, but, as ro-
nance and adventure are ever
new, so is this theme with clever
manipulation and Interpretation
made most absorbing.
Not since Anna @. Nilsson for
sock her stage career in her
native Sweden and came to
America has she given so splen-
did performance. Her role is
a difficult one, wearing well the
habiliments of a man and yet
never letting the audience forget
that she is a woman. But the
masSeuse and the barber have
done well their parts, and Miss
Nilsson is captivating and con.
v1ncing as boy, much more so
than her contemporaries who
have essayed such roles.
The play is not a preachment,
but 1t does tell a story in which
ponjola, the soul-destroying .lrink
of South Africa. plays a promi
nent part. Action centers in the
young English noblewoman, an
innocent fugitive Of the law, who,
DISGUISED as a boy, goes to the
gold fields Of Africa and against
all odds effects the regeneration
Of the man she loves, which man
portrayed by James Kirkwood-
has gone all to the bad via

FOR GLORIA

Evidently "The Humming Bird"
Is film Gloria Swanson fans have
long awaited witnessing, for as
early as o'clock yesterday after
noon patrons were being turned
away from the Columbia'S doors
with the hopeful message that II
they returned by 5 they might get
seats. THE Humming Bird" you
will recall, is the production that's
had such splendid press-agentry
over such bits as Gloria's apache
dance, and 1t is b film calculated
to separate the throng from its
hArd-earned four-bit pieces with
utmost ease and eclat. What's
moro, 1t gives the mob its moneys
worth, which is more than one can
say for some Of the stars previ-
GUS ventures.
It seems as though the East
agreed with Gloria Swanson.
Emerging from a series of clap
trap catchpenny mannequin pa
rades made on the west coast, she
rang the bell with a loud bang
with ''Zaza," seen here a few
weeks ago. The reverberations OF
that splendid clang may be heard
in '"The Humming Bird" although
its theme Is weaker and the film
necessarily falling short Of the
'Zaza" mark. With the tale at
hand, 1t must be admitted that
Gloria Swanson Is about the best.
fitted Of our screen beauttfuls to
make it entertaining.
Sidney Olcott did a splendid job
Of work in directing the picture.
Fresh from his success with
Marion Davies Little Old New
York." he did his darndest to make
The Humming Bird" both a bird
and q hummer. He put the star
through her PAGES and made her
do everything from a thieving
apache to a lovely lady Of quality,
with a Partisan gutter dance
thrown in for good measure. He
labored with a good surrounding
cast, toO-every one save two or
three bearing a foreign name and
Cesare Gravina being the only
familiar one among them all. Some
war sceneS-the real and the reel
20 intermingled as to give a
strangely natural effect - prove
both pulse - and remembrance
stirring.

MIDGETS TOP
STRAND BILL

A most unusual enthusiastic re-
ception was accorded Roses Royal
Midgets on their appearance on
the Strand stage yesterday. AS
performers they furnish as COM
plete, interesting and elaborate
a program, as diversified in ma
ture as any company of grown
ups might provide and in many
ways a more entertaining one.
Tiny people, twenty-five of them,
boast many talents. Among them
may be found clever gymnasts
and acrobats, well trained singers,
talented musicians, comedians and
dancers. The troupe boasts a
saxophone sextette and a real
honest-to-goodness band both of
which made decided hits yesterday.
The time consumed by the
headline feature allows for only
two other acts, Welton and Mar
shall. opening with a snappy dane
ing and singing number called
"a Gag, a Dance and a Bunch
of Hair" and Jack Goldie, de-
scribed as "a Dark Spasm of
JOY" in songs and stories.
