TOMMY" TO BE
NEXT BERKELL PLAY

When Howard Lindsay and Ber-
trand Robinson wrote Tommy, -
they wrote a play which has an ap-
peal for every human being, and for
all time, Tor it has proven to be
truly an American play, with a
glorious touch of youth, and one
which will always be remembered
as a fine type of entertainment.
The Berkell players will open their
sixth week of the season with this
Iovable comedy, starting tomorrow
night at 8:15 daylight saving
time).
The entire action of Tommy"
takes place in the living room of
the Thurber home, peaceful
setting to which Harvey Schlueter,
science designer, has added a deft
touch. The time is summer and the
place in any youthful daughters
home.
Robert st. Clair, juvenile perform
er, will play the title role. In this
choice part he will have a splendid
opportunity for good work, for
Tommy Miles is a refreshing and
natural individual

Daring Role

Norma Talmadge again proves
her versatility as a screen star by
launching what filmdom considers
the most daring characterization in
her career-the role of elsie" in

stage success of the same title.

one Of the exceptional roles Of
the season in "The Wooden
Kimono. "
In Saturday s Children, I"
which was produced here the third
week of the repertory season, Miss
Taylor played the part Of the snoop-
ing landlady and scored an instant
success.
THE Wooden Kimono" lasted an
entire season at the Fulton Theater
in New York The success of this
play brought on another thriller
for the same theater, "Dracula," and
it is another play that is due to last
there for a long time.
THE Wooden Kimono" is the
first mystery play of the Stuart
Walker season, and should prove
tremendous success. In the past
season the public has shown an in
creased interest in these thrillers,
and this is what prompted Mr.
Walker to choose this type of play
for his fifth weeks production.
During her career Miss Taylor has
played thousand and one different
roles, and all of them have been
different. But, of course, there is
one certain role to which she is bet
ter adapted than others. And in
"The Wooden Kimono" she is as
perfectly cast as she ever will be.
Miss Taylor has been cast during
the past week as Mile, the wife of
a notorious crook who is doing time
sup the river" in the melodrama,
"Crime," which closes Sunday night.
In this play she has very little
to do, which is the way of all pro-
ducers. One-week players are given
a heavy role, the next a lighter
one and so on.
