Turmoil
r ' There are eome plays that depend
on mystery for their appeal; some on
': dramatic action or surprise climaxes;
" some purely on thrills and excitement.
- but afer all the greatest appeal in a
"" flay is in humanness This is well
exemplified in "The Turmoil" Hobart
JHenley's Universal-Jewel pictwriia-
tion of Booth Tarkington's famous
novel now playing at the Kialto
theater.
The piny has all qualities one
--'laughs with its characters one weeps
with them; its smashing dramatic epi-
sodes thrill; but over all these things
the play is grent because it is life
itself. 'Booth Tarkington perhaps
better than any other. author knovrs

peramental youth with the soul of an
artist he struggles to break to bis
' will.

Sfrongheart the wonder dog of the
movies has been parking the Majestic

East Meets West
Kast. is East and West is West and
ne'er the twain shall meet?
This old adage was cast to the
four winds this week at the studio
of Principal Pictures corporation in
Hollywood when Harry T. Morey.
one of the best known character men
of the screen arrived in Hollywood
and greeted Hobart Bosworth a
member of the cast of Baby Peggy's

The lives of the three crooks In
'White Tiger." the Universal-Jewel
underworld picture showing at the
Iris theater have about as much ro

sentimental fiction. Police authorities
have long said that sentimental non-
sense in fiction about the "romance"
of a life of crime does incalculable
harm to the morals of growing gener-
ations. Consequently "White Tiaer"
should do great good bj its satirical
denunciation of the popular conception.
