Ruth Chatterton.

AMONG the important legitimate
IA stars to invade vaudeville, the
most recently arrived is Ruth Chat
terton, who essays the two-a-day for
the first time in her life, in a playlet
by Vincent Lawrence called "The
Conflict"
In it Miss Chatterton is said to
have a role eminently compatible
with her deft and sympathetic touch.
The sad story Of the sketch, so
frequently a misflt in the two-a-day
scheme Of things, is said to be elo-
quently reversed by Miss Chatterton
in 1.-The Conflict" one Of the most
successful acts to be launched this
year.
Miss Chatterton is quite as lovely
as ever. She wears her blonde hair
cut close, but it waves becomingly,
giving softness to a nearly classic
profile. She looks the ingenue in the
piece, but Miss Chatterton long since
outgrew ingenue roles and has estab-
lished herself as an actress Of marked
dramatic ability.

United Artists Corporation. ''The
Circus" Chaplin's new film, makes a
contribution at once intelligent and
hilarious to the psychology of fear.
It seems Charlie Is called upon to
walk a tight rope. He is sturdily
upheld by a thin but securely fastened
piece of wire. Gayly and with true
insouciance he fits hither and yon
upon the taut rope, confident in his
security. Then the wire becomes
loosened. Still Chaplin runs daintily
back and forth, no fear in his mind.
AS he takes a forward step he sees
the loose end of the dangling wire
before his eyes. Panic and great fear
now come to the daring fellow on the
rope, with bowling monkeys below.
Psychology is benefited at the cost of
Charles trousers q few feet there
after.

vard." A blond, broad -shouldered,
smiling young fellow, whose pink
and white complexion indicated the
arterial circulation of perfect ath-
letic tone. Woodruff was one OF
those naturally youthful types. He
was the same young athletic-looking
chap throughout his entire career,
which was not a particularly brief
one. 1t is curious that the feminine
writer's for the stage should interest
themselves most prominently in the
delineation of dashing, virile and
chivalrous types OF masculinlty, while
the scenes dedicated ito the las
civious pleasing of the lutte" are left
to the writer's for the stage biologi-
cal1y classified as males.

One Of the most remarkable and
successful films was "The Sea Beast"
which hurls John Barrymore mo-
mentarily from the cliffs of Shake
spearean pre-eminence into the
ocean of the commonplace. The
story of Jonah and the whale is a
romping comedy compared to Mr..
John Barrymore's adventures with
Moby Dick, who takes advantage
of him. as in the exuberance of
youth he plunges into the waters,
and bites his leg off. The experience
transforms him from a laughing,
reckless adventurer into man who
passes the remainder of his life with
a wooden leg and facial expression
suggestive of a perpetual session
with dental clinic. 1t is perhaps
wrong to assume a facetious attitude
toward a performance so evidently
thorough and intelligent. But there
must be some effort to restore spirits
after witnessing the scene prefaced
by the unfeeling reminder OF the title
writer that the blacksmith was the
only surgeon on shipboard, and the
revelation of John having the re-
mains of his leg cauterized at the
flaming forge. The scene is one
from which attention should normal
" turn with aversion. Our enter
tainment has been inuring us to
rough experiences and our sensibili-
ties are being prepared to a degree
of federation which may yet enable
us to view scenes of physical torture
in the name of art (scenes, for in
stance, Sardou would have enacted
off stage and yet with poignant sug-
gestion, as in ia Tosca"O with the
grim complacency of Torquemado.
