Girl Flees to Jail
All but Thompson are charged
with contributing to the girls delin-

Jail, to which she fed in terror last
Sunday.
1t was this flight from the home
of her grandmother, which has been
her home since she was eight days
old and her mother died, that
brought the bizarre story to the
attention of authorities.
Prosecutor Ernest W. Hornaday
says that all the persons under ar

He related that the girl said they

COMEDY PRESENTED
BY COLUMBIA GROUP
Where Masks Are Worn" by
Dorothea Lewis, Is Last Play
of the Season.

of the Season.
Dorothea Lewis latest effort in
dramaturgy, IAN artificial comedy"
Where Masks Are Worn" was pre-
scented last night in Pierce Hall by the
Columbia Players as the groups last
production Of the season.
Miss Lewis displays much aptitude
for witty repartee and clever situa-
tons, having certainly a way with
comedy. which far outshadows the
conception of the play and the me-
chanicS of its construction. The pit
falls into which she has fallen are
best described by the above quote from
the program, AN artificial comedy"
For Where Masks Are Worn" seems
to be trying to go somewhere and yet
not knowing Just where 1t is bound.
The play, extremely hilarious for
goodly part. deals with an actor who
is the most serious OF tragedianS on
stage. but who possesses a gay heart
and sense Of humor which he feels
he must hide from his dear public"
There also are couple of girls one
a happy comedienne from the theater
next door, and the other very Sert-
Gus minded l6-year-old who Is deeply
infatuated with the principal mask
wearer"
This actor is very serious at times,
and very much the opposite at others,
so you are not always sure which way
things are going to turn out, inasmuch
as the clown is not definitely hiding
tragedy behind his smile nor hiding
smile behind his tragedy. In the
end. however, he does the only thing
the leading man in play should do,
which Is be content with the leading
lady, and sweet Sixteen's infatuation is
turned in another direction. II is very
funny. except for the indetiniteneSs Of
the theme. Some day Miss Lewis Is
going to tie one of her better plots up
with some OF this gay humor and the
result will be something TO see.
The play was done with varying de-
grees of proficiency Robert M. Miller
did handsomely with the main role.

easy task. Helen Mead made the

Those who saw the stage play will,
ne think, enjoy the film even more.
The theater bound its tragic little
yarn too tightly around its four walls.
The story never seemed to let itself
go. The reason for its success was
the elfin quality that the star impaired
to the leading role. not the material
which the author had assembled for
her
The picture seems TO fill up what
were the obvious holes in the play.
Once. for instance out in the country,
there is a scene which is probably the
most attractive thing about it-where
Miss Bergner is sitting on that donkey
and jogging gently through a super
latlve Alpine countryside. Little
touches such as this, supplied by the
director tDr Paul Czinner-Miss Ber-
Gners husband are evidences of the
pictures superiority, and they also
give Miss Bergner an added chance
to exhibit her complicated and mani
fold talents.
Hugh Sinclair, who plays the role of
the unpleasant musical genius for
whom Comma elizabeth Bergner)
gives up the world. as also her baby. is
also particularly well suited TO his
tasks, and the cast further includes
such capable actors as Leon Quarter
maine, Griffith Jones and Irene VAN
brueh.
1t is. however. Miss Bergner who
carries the play on her slim. awkward
shoulders and who makes it the alb
sorbIng evenings entertainment for
which you probably had been looking.
Since it is British finland this is
not meant unklndly-there are obvious
flaws. But even when the camera
seems to have slipped and the dlrec-
ton might have been improved upon,
and Miss Bergners hollow little laugh
breaks forth into "mOurnful num-
hers. even when shaken by the
tragedy Of her terrible young life. you
