.BARTHELMEss 1T THE LIBERTY TON|GHT IN
 \ NEW COMEDY HIT
"SHORE LEAVE" FROM BELAScO SUCCESS, PROVES IDEAL
 ROLE FOR STAR

Shore Leave" showing tonight at the Liberty theatre, provides Richard Barthelmess with another delightful ly amusing characterization, that of "Bilge" Smith, happy-go-lucky sail- or in Uncle Sams Atlantic fleet.
 Barthelmess gives delightful per- formance of the "gob." The New York critics pronounced it to be his best work in some time. Although this is the young stars second comedy role in short time, the other being the distraught husband of New Toys" it is not generally known that Barthelmess made his first film suc- cess as a comedian.
 With Miss Gish, Barthelmess ap- peared in "The Hope Chest" Boots" Poppy Polly" and "I'll Get You Yet" That was back in 1918. Shortly after he made his sensational hit in Grif- fith's Broken Blossoms" After that Barthelmess had no further opportuni- ties to work in the field of comedy until New Toys"
 This is comedy year on the screen, however, and, following his success in "New Toys" Barthelmess decided to try another comedy. Shore Leave" which had been a successful Broad way production as presented by David Belasco, was secured, the cooperation of the United States Navy was ob- tained and the production was made.
 Now Shore Leave" is recorded by the film authorities as one of the big hits of the year.

PARADEtQF FASHION

LONDON, Dec. 7. (P- English girls with good pair of legs are quite unusual, according to Sir Will liam Arbuthnot Lane, noted British physician, but the answer of several persons we'll qualified to speak is a decided English girls legs are not ugly"
 ''So many English girls nowadays are bow-legged or knockkneed," Sir William says, attributing these physi- cal defects to bad feeding in youth.
 "But," says Miss Heather Thatch- CT, musical comedy actress whose own legs are the rage of London, English girls legs have improved vastly in the last ten years.
 Awful skirts, ugly stockings and ill-ftted shoes were hardly coducive to shapely legs ten years ago, but all these have changed now," she says. Besides, short skirts have made nice legs imperative"
 Perhaps the New York girl has the incest legs of all, but Miss England makes good second," says another critic.
 Other opinions are:
 M. Peron, dress designer: English girls legs are certainly not uglier than those of other nations"
 Miss Italia Contin, dance instructor: "One has simply to walk along any street to see some simply beautiful legs"

MAY BE FORGED PAINTING
Art Work In Metropolitan Museum Said To Have Been Wrongly Cred tied To Sargent.

New York, Jan. 20 P)-Thc Met ropolitan Museum of Art is investi- Sating a charge that q water color by the Italian portrait painter Gio- Vanni Boldini now bears a forged signature of the late John $. Sar- gent. It is hanging in the memo rial exhibition to Sargent in the mu- scum.
 Bryson Burroughs, curator of paintings, said yesterday that the water color is called Sketch of An Italian Model With Cope" and that it's authenticity would be determined within a few days.
 The water color was questioned by visitor, whose name has not been divulged. who said that the painting bore Boldinis signature as late as 1919. Soon after he said, the sig nature was scraped off and Sargent's substituted.
 The Sargent signature was re- garded with so much suspicion by dealers that in 1924 the pointing only brought $l at auction. Had Boldini's name been left 1t probably would have fetched s100 or more, dealers said.
 Mir. Burroughs said a study of the sketch from the standpoint of style would undoubtedly clear up it's au- thenticity.
