The Reason.
The above is probably suffi-
cient concerning the general
movements of storms across the
continent, as it is of no use to use
technical terms to describe the
causes and effects of storm move-
ments in a communication of this
nature. Suffice it to say that the

ting the date for the lady, the
writer became curiously inclined,
and asked what it all meant, and
the reply was: 'Why, don't you
know that if you trim hair at new
moon, it will grow better?” She

Advance publicity said "The

A Clever Piece.
This “Sham" is an unusually
clever piece of writing. 1A glib
young Rallies is caught in the act
of robbing a mansion by the
owners, who return unexpectedly.
One would expect the conventional
scuffle and a frantic shriek for
the police. Nothing of the kind.
The ingratiating young prowler
proceeds to go on with his work
and makes his victims like it.
Directorial credit goes to Helen
Gertrude Sparks for "Sham,”
Maude Chandler Modlin for “It
All Depends” and L. D. Fallis tor
“The Boor.”
Right now is a good time for
lagging Fort Worthers to get the
Little Theater habit. Nothing so
much fun as following the desti-
nies of these budding Mansfields
and Bernhardts. There’s a fasci-
nation to the Little Theater the
professional stock house can't lay
claim to. And the Little Theater
is at its best in the presentation
of the one-act play.

Yesteryear she basked in the glamour of Broadway and Holly-
wood. Now, a day's thrill for Marguerite Clark is leaving her small-
say Rod La Rocque in a new char-
acterisation.
For in this screen version of
Edna Ferber’s novel the La
Rocque who plays the part of a
typical American young man from
Pleasantville, Wisconsin, in the
opening of the picture, is a vastly
different person from the "gigolo”
or dancing man of the Paris cafes,
the role he occupies in the latter
half of the picture.
His facial contortions, which
are supposed to have been brought
about by wounds of war, would do
credit to a Lon Chaney.
It is a gripping picture—some-
thing out of the ordinary and
well worth seeing. Before seeing
the picture one finds it hard to
visualize Rod La Rocque in the
role of a dancing man, but fears
of disappointment on this score
are swept away before the first
thousand feet of reel has been
shown.-—C. L. D.

IblA2 SHOWING
x A Spectacular Melodrama
BY JACK GORDON
"It All Depends,” by Mrs.
Maude Chandler Modlin of Fort
Worth, is easily the best played of
the three one-act playlets the
Little Theater is doing this week.
The plays were unveiled Monday
night and may be seen again
Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Performances of Mrs. Conrad
Fath and Margaret Cameron were
the features of the evening. Mrs.
Fath appears to be a second Mary
Carr. Both new players are lucky
strikes.
Work of Jack Corbitt. Mrs. C.
L. Hoera and Faye Corbitt is be-
yond cavil.
"It All Depends,” is notable for
the reason it is the first piece by
a Fort Worth playwright to be
produced by the Little Theater.
Mrs. Modlin is to be congratulated.
Her little drama waxes to a melo-
dramatic finish and for that rea-
son is easily the most engrossing
of the three presented.
A Tough Role.
Next honors for histrionics goes
to De Rue Armstrong and Jerome
Moore, who take the spotlight in
“The Boor,” by Anton Tehekor.
Moore has the toughest role of the
bill. Not the easiest feature of his
assignment is a five-mintue solilo-
quy which Moore handles admir-
ably. Miss Armstrong is another
surprise. She plays with fine re-
straint and is an enticing vision
in the widow's black. Loyd Gip-
son, Charles Fitzgerald and Wel-
don Ramseur are adequate in un-
important parts.
"Sham” apparently suffered
from a too hasty preparation. A
distressing amount of prompting
was necessary to get John King,
Plenty of Romance in
Beverly of Graustark
The matinee crowds are going
to eat up "Beverly of Graustark”
at Pantages this week. It’s that
kind of a play. Flashing blades.
Moon-bathed gardens. And a
young gallant who can shin up a
balcony with an alacrity that
would put a Western Union line-
man to shame.
"Tis a handsome figure Gene
cuts in the royal purple—or rath-
er blue and white, with red, red
pants.
But for all of Gene’s splendor,
it's really Olga's week. It's a real
starring role she has as the cheeky
American girl who visits the
Queen of Graustark only to start
an awful mess. Olga does beau-
tifully by it. H
Dick Elliot literally wallows in
his part of the American girl’s
Alabammy consort. In burnt cork, '
skirts and with his girth properly
expanded by a Chevrolet cushion

mammy.
Arthur Allard as General Mar-
lanz, commander-in-chief of the
-Graustark army, nearly had 'em
hissing at the twilight—and what
higher tribute could one pay the
earnest heavy?
Everybody is familiar with the
adventures of Beverly, the Ameri-
can beauty who went over to Eu-
rope to visit Graustark’s queen,
fell in love with a member of the
queen's guard, and threw all dis-
cretion to the winds when she had
a chance to save her hero, sought
as a spy.—J. G.
