Previously in the making of the
film, Harmon had been soundly
beaten by George Cooper, who
plays Sergeant Murphy, and
Lionel Barrymore, who Is Stark

led Pat to the remark that the

Is the bass drum, which he does

same purpose that animated

impulse to fly to the, defense.
When the players were flinging
themselves around the stage IN
the monstrous poses of a by
gone day and when, at each
soliloquy and each aside, the
audience Uttered scrupulously,
/ had to suppress an unworthy
yearning to rise, lift one superb
hand to still the tumult and
cry out: "Stop, she's some
body's mother"
The point of such a produc-
Thoroughly akin as it is to
one of Master Held's bogus
woodcuts-is, / suppose, that
grandpa and grandma were
not-quite bright. In the seventies,
the eighties and even the nine
ties, veritable freshets of tears
attended each performance of
this silly old play made cut IF

favorite with the stock COM
pany audiences and was nightly
elasped to the same bosoms,
which back home under the
evening lamp also heaved con-
vulsively in response to "St.
Elmo"
And / suppose, too, that in
1860 the little experimental
group down at that funny old
theater on Morningside Heights
will revive "Abie's Irish Rose"
and the archeologists in the
audience will fairly shake with
condescending amusement at the
kind of theatrical fare which

Lady Peel Showed Marked Ability to Initiate

New York, Oct. 22 PJ-"Making faces" won fame and a peerage for Beatrice Lillie, who as a little girl initiated people all day long. Today she Is the only British peeress in motion pictures.
 Miss Lillie, in private life Lady Peel, wife of Sir Robert Peel, is unique among the noblewomen of England. She has two Identities one as a society leader wife and mother; the other as a stage and screen celebrity. She keeps the two distinctly apart.
 Initiated Seighbors
 Born in Toronto, the daughter of a musician, she was predestined for a musical career. But-she liked to make faces
 She initiated her family she initiated the neighbors She develop ed an ability at impersonation, and her mother, being wise, encouraged IL. It did not help her toward fame in music-but 1t eventually led to fame on the stage. Her marriage to Sir Robert resulted from stage star dom, indirectly. And her debut in pictures. in the new o-Goldwyn- Mayer comedy, with Jack Pickford, resulted from her success in Char lots Revue"
 Comic Songs a Hit
 While in school, Miss Lillie work ed out a series of comic songs "iust for fun" She had played in New York, and decided to essay London. She tried one of the "comic" songs, The effect was in- stantaneous. She was given hear ing by Chariot. The result was that London acclaimed her imper- sonation of the grand opera prima donna and the rest of her droll i'm itations.
