the world plays a prominent
role in Take 1t From Me-" the new
Reginald Denny picture. She is Jean
Tolley, who acted as Photographic
model for advertisements for years,

tered pictures, however, that she had
the pleasure Of receiving credit for
her likenesses.

those that showed promise were placed
in small supporting roles. Beauties

and, like Alexander, he cries for more.
He is still in his early 30s, and the
youthful age at which he began his
stage career accounts for the exhaus-
tive repertoire behind him.
Gilbert comes to Washington direct
from Providence, r. l., where he was
leading man for the Albee Players,
lea, with an uninterrupted run of %
Summer seasons behind it. He has
alternated between stock and produc-
tiCn work.
In production he was last with the
Broadway version Of "Aloma of the
South Seas" and he was last seen in
Washington in Cobra" at the Belas-
CO. Prior to that, he was seen at the
same house in AT the Curtains" a
mystery play. He was in the original
companies Of Strange Bed Fellows"
and with Lionel Barrymore in THE
Joker" Early in his career he had a
flair for musical comedy. and appear
ed with such stars as Julia Sander

Brian.
Both Gilbert and Lorraine Bernard,
second lead, were induced to come
here by Director Charles I. Schofield
instead of heading toward the st.
James stock company in Boston.

BOSTON, October 9 P.-Boston's
only Chinese theater draws steady
patronage even though II is un.
known TO most white residents.
Only those few who chance along a
dingy street have heard the clash Of
cymbals. the twang of squeaky two
string violins, the rattle and tinkie
Of unnamed traps. and over all the
falsetto of voices in the sing song OF
the Chinese tongue which accompany
the Chinese production.
At the front of the hall is the
square platform of the stage. In the
alcove at the rear of the stage is an
eight-p piece orchestra. One Of its mem
bers wears an eyeshade. Another
musician smokes a cigarette. All the
while weird sounds issue from the in
struments. blended in a sort Of mo-
notonous rhythm. but Jared acutely
by unexpected twangings. clashes and
humping on a dry wooden box.
An especially loud clamor. and an
actor brushes aside the curtain and
walks in with the classical stilted
gait and slow moving hands of the
ancient drama. His robe and head
dress are ornate in the rigidly pre-
scribed manner: his makeup is con-
spicuouE He begins to sing.

The Weird Chinese Play.

The Occidental gets little from what
follows. Actors and actresses. all in
elaborate costume, succeed each other
at short intervals, singly or in groups.
A scene shifter slides behind the clas-
steal players to shift a chair to meet
the new requirements Of the play.
He erects a throne. takes out a cur
tained bed, lays out fresh fans and
performs a constant succession OF
tasks. In no manner does he dis
turb the continued singing and play
ing of the orchestra.
Some pantomime accompanies the
play, but for the most part 1t Is long
monologues In singing or speaking
voice. with occasional dialogue and
rare bits Of dramatic action.
Toward midnight the spectator pur-
chases from a vender tidbits OF dried
pork, Licnee nuts. candied fruits or
other confection. The Chinese come
and go through the evening. They
smoke and eat. converse and sleep.
They never applaud. but they do laugh
appreciativeiy when bit of bunoon-
ery enlivens the scene.
Few Occidentals see an evenings
performance out. 1t lasts for seven
hours and the resumes next evening

Mr.. Keefe said he took the statement
and went to the office of DR.. James.
Meeting DR.. French, he said, he ask

he was willing to pay whatever was

said, DIR. James came in and attacked
him. He defended himself, but was
overwhelmed when DIR. French made
what he called a flying tackle which
put him on the floor. Testifylng that
DIR. James had severely beaten him
using a stove poker, he showed
bruises on his arms, which he said
were caused by the poker.
