IDES OF MARCH.

Sing a song Of sunny days with
Springtime at the door, altho through
all the winter months the winds for
got to roar. The snow and ice forgot
to come; OF rains we were bereft, and
pray, without calendar, who knew
when Winter left?
But housewives, armed with weapons
dread, leave no one long in doubt.
They rage about the quiet home and
turn it inside out And though great
labor problems loom to keep mankind
annoyed; no woman with a house to
keep is ever unemployed!

Deluxe Show
 at the Strand
Five Broadway Acts Open
 Four Day Engagement

November is here and with it Warner Brothers Strand presents the first deluxe stage show of the winter season. Five Broadway head line acts make up one of the finest stage presentations that have graced the Strand stage since yau- deville was brought back to this popular theater.
 Headlining the bill, which begins four day engagement to-day, is Sylvia and Clement company with the Andrini Brothers in Stepping Out" Here Is an act that is pot pourri of all vaudeville offers, Sing ing, dancing, comedy, impersona- tions and what not. The Andrini Brothers are banjo yirtuosos of the first rank and present an intricate and pleasing musical interlude. This act is one of the finest of its type in vaudeville to-day.
 Alphonse Berg and Company have a novel offering. MT Berg is Paris designer and from a few bolts of cloth and a package of pins creates gowns on living models before the eyes of his audiences. While this is feature of partic- ular appeal to the women folk the men are not forgotten for MT Berg is as clever a comedian as he is a designer and throughout his act interpolates comedy that keeps the audience in constant laughter. This is another head line act that com mands big money and is in keeping with the Strand policy that Water bury's vaudeville is the best. Baby Goines and Bpddies are colored juvenile entertainers. Their fast tan dancing is reminiscent of every day life down in the cotton coun- try. A highly pleasing and enter taining offering. l Primrose Semon, one of the foremost singing comediennes in vaudeville, has a splendid offering and Bob La Salle and Company offer a novelty comedy, singing, talking and dancing act that is chock full of laughs.
 The feature picture is the screen adaptation of Balzac's Honor or The Family" which recently con cluded a highly successful Broad way stage engagement. The cast includes Bebe Daniels, Warren Williams, Alan Mowbray, Fred erick Kerr and other favorites. It is one of the years best and is one that is certainly to be enjoyed by Strand patrons. Vaudeville IS pre-, sented daily at 3:00, 500 and 9:00 o'clock.

structed to draw up plans for her dream house.
 At first the house was designed as more or less of a bachelor girl home. But it turned out to be a honeymoon home to which Joan and Doug returned after their wed- ness of the hilltop home, Joan lives little differently than she did dur ing her early days in the film ham let. Joan liked to keep house in those days when she and her moth CT were forced to do most of their own housework. And she still likes to play at housekeeping while several servants do the real work. They are necessary to keep the house in order if Joan is to con- tinue her career. But Joan over sees everything and whenever she isn't working she invariably cooks dinner on the cooks night off. Ac- cording to young Doug, she is a very good cook, too-even If he hasn't gained much weight since his marriage. He points out that he never could put on weight be- fore either.

Merely Mary Ann Lyric Offering Doug Fairbanks on Same Bill in "I Like Your
 Nerve"

Screen acting is the world s greatest profession if you succeed
 and the worst if you don't.
 There's no thrill like that of seeing ones name in electric lights over a theater marquee-and no disappointment like that of plugging along in the extra ranks, year after year.
 I know, says Janet Gaynor. I've experienced both-the long. hard battle as an unknown "bit" play CT, and the eventual winning of recognition in such pictures as 's7th Heaven" Sunny Side Up," "The Man Who Came Back" and, more recently, in Merely Mary Ann," Fox romance which will be shown Sunday at the Lyric.

Walt Huston in The Ruling Voice
New Type of Underworld Film Opens To-day at
 State

It is a new kind of underworld that comes in for an airing in First Nationals "The Ruling Voice." which opens today at the Warner State theater.
 All the fragrant violence that marks big town hoodlumism as pictured in previous films now gives way to the suave and effiently bus mess like operations of the grafters that feast off of big business.
 There is no need of copious shootings, rough-neck gang leaders and buckets of blood to make this picture effective and powerful. The undertakings of Jack Bannister, leader of grating syndicate, are so breath-takingly enormous tnd his methods so refined in their cruelty that it provides it's own overpow- ering effect.
 There is mode of a public appeal in "The Ruling Voice." for instead of beer, these crooks rerive their income from extortion from food merchants, manufacturers. builders ect., this explaining in 1t own way why some cities under the thumb of such gfarters are forced to pay higher prices for food, clothing and shelter.
 The quality of the acting which went into the making of picture explains the hold it is able to main- tain on an audience. Walter Hus- toms versatality is once more in evidence in the role of Jack Ban mister. There is burden of work on his shoulders in carrying the theme through, and he carries 1t more than ably. The supporting cast was no doubt inspired by Huston's example and gave every thing they had to place their parts on the same level as his. 4'
 Loretta Young as the daughter and David Manners as the young swain provide the love interest without detaching it from the story. it is interwoven deftly, becoming both a, cause and effect of the, ul- timate conclusions.
 Doris Kenyon once more proves that her comeback in films is we'll advised. She does some very con- vincing work as the rich woman who is unwittingly drawn into the scheme of things. Another out standing piece of work is contribu- ted by Dudley Diggs, while Gil- bert Emery, John Halliday, Willard

starts after him. The chase leads to Carrizo, where Baxter is making violent love to Miss Montenegro. much to the annoyance of the To- cal sheriff.
 Baxter gets away. with Loves bullet in his shoulder, and rides to Miss Lane's ranch, where he is nursed back to health. Lowe tries to have Miss Montenegro betray Baxter, but she scornfully refuses and the sergeant trails his enemy to the ranch, only to find him gone on a mysterious mission. This mission involves a bank hold-up in order to get money to keep Miss Lane from losing the ranch, and Lowe follows him only to be in-- volved in a shooting affray in which Miss Montenegro pretends to be wounded.
 Baxter escapes, however, and gives Miss Lane the money. Lowe, hot on his trail, comes to the ranch but the bandit is about to escape again when an unforeseen accident occurs, which changes the whole turn of events and provides an un- usual climax.
 The exterior scenes were made on the exact locale of the story. near Tucson, Arizona, and the sup porting cast includes Charlie Ste- vens, James Bradbury, Jr. Willard Robertson, Chris Martin, Frederick, Burt, Jack Dillon, Douglas Haig and Marilyn Knowljen. Irving Cummings directed from Alfred. Cohn's story based on O. Henry's picturesque characters.

Hollywood-Even movie stars
 have dreams, which sometimes
 come true. But very often the dreaming was done before they
 became international celebrities. About seven or eight years ago a beautiful auburnhaired young girl lived in a tiny room high above one of New Yorks narrow streets and dreamed lovely dreams l-of hilltop home with cool, quiet rooms and flower gardens all around.
 That girl, then known as Lucille Le Seur, didn't stop with dreaming,
 however. She dug in and worked so hard that her dream now has become a reality. She now has 9 lovely hilltop mansion situated half
 way between Hollywood and the Pacific. Life has changed for the beautiful young girl. She also has changed her name twice-first to Joan Crawford and then to Mrs Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
 Having been in the public eye for so many years there is little left to tell about Joan. Most of the movie-going public know as much about her life as she does
 herself-some of them great deal
 more. But Joan has keut the story of her dreams pretty much to herself.
 The fulfllment of the actress
 dreams first began to take form
 about two years ago-simultaneous
 ly. with the signing of her present
 starring contract. The moment tn
 contract was signed, Joan walked
 out of the executives office and
 made three calls. The first was to
 her mother to break the good news
 The second, for the same purpose

 When the Central Casting Bur- eau was organized, this huge army of extras was trimmed to a frac- ton of its former size, and the newcomers hances were materially redued.
 The final blow came with talking pictures. Instead of vast settings and battalions of extra players in the background, the directors made ninety per cent of their pictures with just their handful of. least" players. and an occasional butler or chauffeur.

Robertson and young Douglas Scott add to the strength of the picture as a whole.
 There is some surprising action in his story, especially in the se- quences detailing the grafters' war against the milk industry, which not only adds to the entertainment but proves quite a revelation to stay homes.
