PEGGY MAY. 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. The stv is
seen as Jere Lynch, who is in love
with Betty Summers, a daughter of
the enemy family, played by pretty
Eva Novak.

Empress In "The Web of; De
ceit," the feature showing- today at
the Empress theater, Dolores Cas
sinelli is her own greatest enemy.
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. Ted
Burns, Gene "Rags" Morgan and

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."
