Tom Howard, with Harry Hastings
"Knlck Knacks" will be the attraction
at the Gayety, week starting today. It
will serve to introduce Tom Howard, who
makes his first appearance over this cir
cuit, and whose originality has made htm
one ot the leading- comedians In hta
chosen sphere. His stylo of humor Is
one that appeals to alt; the old idea of
slapsticks la no longer required to "make
'em laugh." and with this In view Mr.
Howard has written a vehicle that Is a
a-enuine chain of laughter from beginning
to end. Rare wit, clever comedy situa
tions and humorous sidelights are Intro
duced which are sure to please In good
measure. Sunday's matinee starts at 3.

portray acting thoroughly In motion pic
tures has only come In the last few
years. Formerly an actor walked
through the scenes with the aid of the
company. Now he Is expected to In
dicate only the general trend of the
action. Too can't go on and look blank
any more. Ton have to feel what you
portray, and this kind of art ynu learn
behind the footlights and not In front ot
the camera.
