FIRST BAD WOMAN" HEROINE
OF SCREEN IS PHYLLIS
HAVER.

A screen heroine '"bad woman"
has arrived. The weaker sex, having
successfully invaded the arts aud
professions long controlled by man.
now threaten to infringe on whaj
heretofore has been a strictly mas.
culine pursuit.
Phyllis Haver introduces this vii
famous creation as Roxie Harc in
Chicago, De Mile studio pictur-
ization Of 1he popular stage play
which will be on view at the Mosque
Theatre next week. Victor Vareoni
is featured opposite Miss Haver.
Roxie Hart, as the most beauf-
full jazz murderess" is easier 70 hate
than any conceivable film "bad man"
accord ng to- Director Frank Urson.
She is not the vampire variety, nor
the malicious schemer type, Urson
explains, but is wholly bad and des-
pcable. The Roxie Hart that Maur.
inc watkins made the central char
acter of her successful stage play
was a wicked, contemplate ignor-
anus, but her wickedness is accen-
5uated in the screen version by vir-
tue of the change made in the char
acser of her husband, played by
Varconi.
The first screen heroine bad wo-
man" establishes her hateful char
ac1er surely and speedily. She Is
tested for each and every good quail
ity Of woman and is found want
ing in all. First, she is the fai-hless
wife who kills her "aagel" because
her vanity is offended, and is so dis.
;rustful that she mistakes her hus.
bands self.sacrifice' for trickery.
She glories in ;1le limelight of no
tor'ety and resents sharing the spot.
light. She browbea:s devoted
husband and she is too ignorant and
too much Of fool to realize tha1
he knows of her faithlessness.
/ Roxie Hart Urson contends marks
creation for screen heroines which
promises 10 go far in bringing ia.
vorite actresses before fans in pic
lures where sen n+iment comes seconl
to worthwhile stories.
