In Vaudeville

Not many years ago a shy young
amateur tried out his comic wares in
Mickey Millin's Music Hall In
Omaha, a gathering place for farm
ers and tradesmen of that region. 1t
was there that Langdon's character
istic futile screen grin was coined
from his experience as assistant to
a none-too-gentle German weight
litter. Dancing, singing and timid
vise-cracking were also included In
his premier in the amusement world.
It was from these school days,
Langdon reproduces in THE Strong
Man"-that' he got the rudiments
of that rantomine which has placed
him among the best of film funsters.
Tough days, those, for Harry.
Not much chance to develop an IL.
fusion of grandeur. And in this re-
spect, too, he shares something
common to the little group OF our
foremost screen comedians-the
hard buffetipg in youth which
eventually mocks it's own drab lot
by utilizing it for laughter.
Something New
The essence of Langdons effec-
tive pantomime is the illusion of
childhood 1t manages to convey.
Most comedians assume the child
mind. But Langdons character
istic gestures are based upon the
cropping bewilderment, the pathetic
eagerness to please, the naive won.
derment, Of a boy Of four or five
years of age. His screen self is the
youngest of all the film playboys.
This gives him that peculiar quail
ity of pathos, the bid for quick
sympathy, and appeal to the mater.
nal in feminine audiences.
Evidence Of this assumed baby
mind. of childish helplessness, in the
awkward antics of the grown man,
was marked in Langdons first com.

Tramp" 1t also keynotes 1.-THE

The Love of Su Shong' viii
Be Next Offering Of
BerkelI. A

A romance Of China forms the ba-
sis of the play, THE Love of Su
Shong," which the Berkell Players
will present next week at English's,
This comedy-drama, written by De
Witt Newing. is not all fiction, For
two years Mr.. Newing studied the
lives and customs of Chinese people
on Chinese soil.
He went there solely for the pur-
pose of gathering material for a
play, and as a result of his knowl-
edge of these interesting people,
gives us 1.-THE Love of SUI Shong."
The play had long continued
run in New York and was acclaimed
one of the great plays of the season,
The play has to do with young
American, Richard Tabor, who, while
walking down one of the picturesque
avenues of China, comes across
Chinese girl whose unusual beauty
instantly attracts him. He plans to
meet her in some legitimate way, and
decides upon a little ruse which
makes him actually fall into her
arms.
He purposely stumps his toe. She
catches him as he falls, and from
then their acquaintance grows with
rapid gait. Richard finds that he Is
madly in love with SU Shong and
asks her to marry him, He fergets
that in China the girls are not free
TO choose their husbands, but are
governed by an old custom which
permits the man having the most.
money, or at least one selected by
the girls parents, to buy the girl
of his choosing.
In Su Shong's case, four natives
have bid for her hand. One has
safeguarded his offer by exacting
promise from the father which, II
not kept, means instant death for
him. Su Shong learns of this and
is so 'aggrieved that, in order to save
her father, consents to marry the
Chinaman.
Richard Tabor, however, is an
American, and his fighting blood
must be dealt with. He vows to
win his lovely almond-eyed sweet
heart, regardless of all the customs
of the Orient. The methods he pur-
SUES in snatchfng Su Shong from
her native sutton furnish moments
of great suspense.
