English actress, know as the "Baby Bern hardt" of Europe, makes her American debut in "The House of Intrigue, a photo production offer ing at the Muse theater today and Saturday. It is an absorbing drama in which the elements of heart in terest" and mystery are woven in a highly entertaining manner,- ending in a thrilling climax in which Bar bara Pretlow (Peggy May) frus trates the attempt of crooks to get away with valuable jewelsi holding them at bay at the point of a nerv ous automatic until police arrive. Supporting the star is a good cast including Mignon Anderson and Donald McDonald. Rialto A delightful little screen comedy called , "All-of-a-Sudden Peggv," began a three-days run at the 'Rialto theater Thursday to large audiences. The star is Mar guerite Clark who has the role of an Irish girl, Peggy O'Hara, who with her mother, a widow, is staying at the manor of Lord Anthony Crack enthorpe, an English nobleman en grossed in the study of bugs. Mrs. O'Hara is a noted scientist and Is helping Lord Anthony write a book on spiders. The sister, of the peer sends for her son, Jimmy, because she thinks Peggy has designs on Anthony. Jimmy, of course, falls in love with Peggy, there is a laughable mixup when Peggy makes a prema ture announcement of their , mar riage in order to render her mother free to wed Anthony, but it is all cleared up satisfactorily in the end. Moon The management of the Moon theater is continuing for the balance of the week the screen pro duction, "The Feud," which stars Tom Mix and deals with the heritage of hate between two rival clans of the Bluegrass region.

It is a good, big play, full of tense action, beautiful scenes, and has been drawing large crowds since its first showing last week.

She lies and cheats and deceives herself, and the way in which it is accomplished is very simple. She enacts two roles. An authority on "What Women Will Wear fcext Season," Miss Cassinclli brings forth several advanced styles in "The'Web of Deceit." I AT .THE, THEATERS MASSIVE, gorgeous, exquisite and pleasing is what is claimed for John Cort's "Flo-Flo," which will be the attraction at the Brandeis theater for a limited en gagement of three days starting to night. The first act is set -in the "Bride Shop," a fashionable store for women in New York. The shapely models are paraded before the audi ence in the flimsy lingerie. Then they are shown in fashionable gowns and cloaks of present-day styles. Of course, the masculine mind does not grasp tjiese details but there is plenty to make a man stick to his seat out of fear he will miss some thing. It fs commonly conceded that no star appearing in vaudeville has the range of ability displayed by Mme. Petrova at the Orpheum this week. Her versatility is displayed both as a singer and a dramatic actress. She sings songs of her own composi tion. She offers one number which exhibits her talents as a mimic. Again she shows with what effectiveness a simple old English ballad, one called "The Keys of Heaven,' may be sung. Her performance is open with the singing of the well known poem by James Whltcom Riley "There, Lit tle Girl, Don't Cry." The curtain will rise at 7:55 sharp Saturday night. Mme. Petrova will be first ort program. No seating during her act. '" Joan Hardcastle, famous danc ing beauty, appearing at the Em press, in speaking of the effect that dancing has on the public says: "We have these who love the beautitul, soft movement of the classical and those who crave syncopated or "jau" dancing. I like both although I love the interpretation of some theme or the characterization of some type. That is the reason that I call my act "Dance Ideas," as each dance represents some poem, thought or title." The lively-stepping "Step Lively, Girls!" chaperoned by Comedians "Shorty" McAllister and "Long" Harry Shannon, will delight the au diences at the Gayety this afternoon and evening for the final times. Tomorrow matinee, Peter Clark's brand new edition of "Oh, Girl!" will begin its week's run.

ILLINOIS SENATOR RIDES ROUGHSHOD OVER HENRY FORD Sherman Charges That Detroit Manufacturer Uses Gov ernment to Further His Own Aims. 'Washington, Feb. I0. Hitter par tisan debate on the fraud charges against Senator Newberry, republi can, Michigan, took up much of the senate's time 1oday, as yesterday, precipitated by Senator Sherman, re publican, Illinois, continuing his at tacks on Henry Ford, the defeated democratic candidate. While the debkte was running its course Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, called a meeting for Mon day of the subcommittee appointed to recount the ballots in the contest ed election. . Senator Sherman included the members of Mr. Ford's family, the automobile whicji lie. manufactures and all his activities in his I vigorous attack. He declared Mr. Ford had furthered his financial and political fortunes by enlisting the services of the government. Taken Sharply to Task. The Illinois- senator was taken sharply to task by Senators Stanley of Kentucky and Walcott of Dela ware, both democrats, who declared he had violated senate decorum, the letter charging that Senator Sher man had been "addressing a jury in Michigan," for which he would have been in contempt of court if done in that state. Setting himself up as "one of those persons who knew everything instantaneously from birth," Sen ator Sherman said, Mr. Ford had reared a "financial Moloch," had se cured congressional aid in acquir ing and improving land for private purposes, and had enlisted the ser vices of the federal government in promoting his political interests iu Michigan, while his son, Kdsel, was making good his escape from the military draft. Car International Pest. ' "And I may say." added the sen ator, "that I regard the Ford auto mobile as an international pest. It destroys more useful material than anv other sinkhole in the world. It is a waste of time and sub stance. "The government," he continued, "has become a philanthropic in stitution for the benefit of Mr. Ford. It continually is engaged in promoting his interests financially and politically." The senator declared Ford had found the federal government ma chinery inadequate, however, in. prosecuting the Michigan senator ial case, and that "literally hundreds of Ford's private agents" were swarming about the Grand Rapids trial "scrutinizing every nook and corner within JOO miles of the court room." . In some ways. Senator Sherman said, he regretted that Mr. Ford did not become a senator, "for a greater refrigerator for his ef fervescent brain does not exist" than the senate chamber, adding that nothing would "cure him bet ter than talking to empty benches."
