THE "CAMPUS FLIRT"

Bebe Daniels made no mistake when she selected "The Campus Flirt" for her latest starring vehicle, for this picture affords her an op- portunity to show that she is a CO., medicine of the highest type. "The Campus Flirt" Is a comedy based on the life of a gir, in a modern CO., educational university In this coun- try and those who have attended such institutions will readily see that the comedy sequences are very likely to happen in such places and are not all far etched.
 There are no end to the laughs In the picture. From the very start when Bebe meets up with Charlie Hall who is going to the same school until the final fadeout when Bebe saves the day for her alma mater, after a thrilling chase by an entire police force, the laughs are contin- uous.
 Starring with Bebe is Charles Paddock tte worlds fastest human and who 1t might be added has won Bebe's heart in real life. Fl. Bren- dell plays the comedy role opposite Bebe and we can safely say that here is comedian that is a good one.
 Behe Daniels In "The Campus Flirt" will be shown today and to- morrow at four seven and nine- thirty.
 There are five acts of select vau- deville on the program headed by Mildred Livingston and Co. that has received much enthusiastic comments

 There is so much of the sublime and so much of the ridiculous in Spring Magic" that one leaves the theater in a mental haze wondering what it Is all about. Spring Magic" IS Rachel Brothers musical version of her play "39 East" and opened at Parsons thoater, Hartford, last night
 Scenes and ideas of beauty crowd against colorlcss plot so frcquentN that tho impression Is gained that the whole thing was manufactured b. two different persons, one an artist and the other an ambitious but inexperienced dramatist, both sitting in rooms far apart and not knowing what the other was think ing about or trying to achieve.
 Hazel Glen, in tho leading role. and the Perry Mansfield dancers save the show from utter failure. There arc some commeadable features worthy of noting. Tho scene in Gen. tral Park in act two and the ballet in act three are entrancing. There seems to be absolutely no excuse for the introduction Of four policemen in the Central Park scene. This act should be led gently 10 the brink of the duck pond and hcaved over board. The whole story is given in ! rhyme, much as Walt Mason might write it. although We have nothing | against Walt.
 A matinee will be offered We'd nosday.
