A Prince, a Girl, MoonlightThat's "Lovers of Tom Moore Pictures Are Legion" California Girl Now Plays Important Role in "The Bird of Paradise" "Just Suppose" By BURNS MANTLE. NEW YORK. (Special Corre spondence.) There was a story came out of Washington during the visit of the prince of Wales which intimated, though it did not say for a fact, that his royal highness, getting on his royal ear over the unending succession of en tertainments and formal dinners tendered him, suddenly decided to ditch one of the blooming affairs and Ro out on his own; that he did, in fact, run away and go motoring with one of the younger members of his suite, and that he had the royal party standing on its royal heads for fear he had slipped into the Potomac or been kidnaped by a certain southern ilelte. The story probably had no more foundation in fact than the other light fiction that emanates from the capital, .beginning with Mrs. Wil son's reply to the diplomat's wife and ending with the nifty retort that Senator 1 larding once made to a waiter in the senate restaurant. But it served to inspire one of the best ncv; paper reporters who ever wrote a play, the same being A. E. Thom as, who once worked with Laflin on the Noo York Sun, to use it as the foundation of a romance. A fragrant, fragile little comedy called "just Suppose" is irte result. It is a bit delicate for Broadway and is certain to be scoffed at by the bard young jN'ietzschians, who, thank God, they're not sentimental, but it is a great play for the flappers and theit grandmothers, and a pleasant evening's entertainment for anybody. In "Just Suppose" the prince and his pal, young Sir Calverton Ship ley, motoring through Virginia, stop at the home of the Staffords that Shipley, old thing, may pay his re spects to Mrs. Stafford, his mater's friend. He leaves the prince in the motor while he makes the call, but liis royal highness, tired of waiting, soon follows him into the house and is introduced as plain George Ches ,ter. They are as engaging a pair of I juveniles as ever you have met' in stageland, the two English boys playing these roles, and the moment j they are inside the Stafford parlor the adventure takes grip of its audi ence. A moment later, when the j young prince meets Linda Lee, the j daughter of the family, and suddenly is seized with a severe headache to j prevent the worried Shipley from : rushing him back to Washington, a fine little romance is added. Linda Lee, of course, recognizes e L . . ' me prince irom nis irequeiii appeal -ances in the rotogravure section, but she graciously permits tiim to re main, as he fancies, incognito. As a result of his attack of vertigo the boys stay the night at the Stafford home, and most of the next day. And there are walks for the prince with Linda Lee through the rose gardens, and chats with Linda Lee on one's duty to one's self and one's people. There is moonlight, and the darkies singing off stage, and a line or two from Herrick, and a bit of Chinese philosophy. And finally there is a boy who is tired of being a prince and is witling, to quit the whole bally busi ness and elope with Linda Lee, if she will have him. And a girl who has long, been waiting for the lover at the touch of whose hand she would thrill and whose smile would haunt her in her dreams and has found him at last, only to know that she must give him up. For. as she explains to him, the world would never understand; the world would say that he, heir apparent to the throne of the British empire, had been weak enough, selfish and small enough, to desert his coun try and his people, to forget hi? duty and his destiny, "all for a woman." So she bids him goodby in the moonlit rose garden and he sails away. It is greatly to the credit of Mr Thomas as a playwright, and to those who selected the fine cast playing his comedy, that it is pos sible to hold an audience completely interested in so slight a story through three frankly sentimental acts. But there is great charm in the characters themselves and good comedy in the incidental scenes; the greatly agitated Shipley, for in stance, with a defiant prince on his hands, half of Washington upset, and nothing to do but wait while his friend makes love to a Virginia belle; Lord Karnaby, the older guardian of his royal highness, who finally is summoned to bring the prince back to Washington and who seeks, with cutting but dis creetly diplomatic sarcasm, to cor rect and chasten his thoughtless i,voung charge, and a reminiscent 'grandmother who remembers when' she danced with the prince's Uncle Edward when he was prince of Wales. Patricia Collinge has surprised her friends by stepping out of the reper toire of pig tailed heroines she has been playing for several seasons to give a really fine, dignified, techni cally finished performance as. the young Virginia girl of gentle breed ing in "Just Suppose." Fred Kerr, a fine type of English character actor, plays the protesting diplo mat with great skill; his son, Geof frey Kerr, is as near the Prince Charming type as need be to vmake the royal impersonation seem eal; Leslie Howard is the debonair pal, and Mrs. Thomas Whiffen plays the grandmother. William Faversham has, also spread a little sentiment over the Broadway landscape this week by bringing his revival of "The Prince and the Pauper" to the Booth theater. As in the case of the Thomas comedy, it is a little sur prising that there is so much kick left in the purely romantic episodes of the Mark Twain classic. The new version that Amelie Rives has made may or may not differ materially from that used years ago when Elsie Leslie played the dual role to follow her success in "Little Lord Fauntleroy." But the changes made are in no sense radical, and the principal incidents are the same the flight of Tom Canty from Offal court: his sum mons inside the palace gates by the ydung prince he so greatly re sembles; the reappearance' of the prince in Tom's beggar clothes; his ejection into the street by the mis-,' taken guards; his encounter with , the roughs who thipk him Tom Cone mad; his 'escue by brave Miles Hendon; his later return toj lb mJ? 1 jA -jL burke v31jwv ri two. nM , What the Theaters Offer RAYMOND M'KEE, who created ths role of Terence In "Katlflean M vourneen," the big William For special which Is coming to the Brandeis theater for three dy, starting- today, ta a young: screen lending man of excep tional ability.

RICHARD WALTON TUTvIY'S tropi cal romance. "The Bird of Para dise." will make Us annual visit o Omaha this week, opening at the Bran deis theater Thursday night for a three day engagement. Under the producing management of Richard Walton Tully an excellent cast headed- by Florence Tloekwell will be seen In the various roles In presenting the play this season Mr. Tully announces an entire new produc- the palace aiyl his final settling of all things at his coronation, when he provides liberally for the beggar boy and his mother and makes Miles generalising of his armies. Once in the mood of it. which it is not hard to acquire, the well loved story is still gripping. Faver sham, being the best of all the swashbuckling heroes of romance, is an ideal Hendon, and though it is a trivial part he has been generously acclaimed in it. Ruth Findlay plays the dual role, and while she is too frankly feminine to suggest the il lusion, she is appealingly wistful and earnest. Clare Eames, Reginald Barlow, and Cecil Yapp assist. A negro actor has created a bit of a sensation by appearing in the opening bill of the Provincetown players and giving a performance of a leading role that is in many ways remarkable. The play is "The Em peror Jones," written by Eugene O'Neill, and relates the adventure of a Pullman car porter who, having been arrested for murder in the states, succeeded in breaking jail and made his way to an island in the West Indies "an island not yet self-determined by white marines." The actor is Charles S. Gilpin, who has had some experience both in the negro stock companies and playing a bit in "Abraham' Lincoln." His performance is crude, but-impressively real, his voice is melodi ous and his projection of the fear madness that grips his kind is dra matic in the extreme. Claire DuBrey has won an en viable reputation as the most strik ing brunette on the screen. For that reason she was selected by Sam Rork to play the part of Jhe Coun tess de Santiago in Katherine Mac Donald's current picture, "The Sec ond Latchkey." iill!INIill!!llllllliillillllili:lltlltllillllillllllilllliilllllil. m l Empress Rustic I I Garden I DANCING AND REFRESHMENTS I Special Cabaret Attraction 9 i Music by Slater's Southern s Orchestra. a S SPECIAL DANCING MATINEE ? ?

Krogh, -i x n His Face Is His Act as Well as His Meal Ticket Neal Abel, Orpheumite, known as "The Man With the Mobile Face," does not spend much time applying make-up on his face. Notwith standing no story teller in vaude ville owes so much of his success to facial accomplishment as does Mr. Abel. ' He has developed facial models for different effects at will. With his face he can vizualize the hideous, scorn, anger, good nature or almost any mood he wishes. The facete being distinctly in demand in vaudeville, it is this Mr. Abel applys his facial accomplishment to effect. He thinks the average habitue of the two-a-day seeks fun and entertainment and story tell ing and facial plastodynamia are attributes to which he credits the measure of fame and fortune he has acquired on the stage. He has developed remarkable control of his features. He has learned how to tilt or to shorten or lenghten the mouth or almost any line in his face fat will, and knows exactly what kfnd of an impression it will make on his audience. Chameleon-like are the results he achieves with his face and little, if ever, does he re sort to the appurtenances of the make-up art. Boyhood Life in Play. There are few boys who have no' dreamed of being king of a cannibal island, with dusky slaves to answei their commands and untold wealt' at their disposal. And there are few who reach that age of adventurous dreams who have not also found themselves at times thinking of some pretty little girl playmate, who would make a fine white quten for the cannibal kingdom. Mary Roberts Rinheart has woven all the ambitions and love of youth into her story, "It's a Great Life," which comes to the Sun theater No vember 14. D. C. Geiselman, Cashier Assistant Cashier Gertrude Walthers, the new Diana in Richard Walton Tully's play, "The Bird of Paradise," which re turns to the Brandeis, is a new comer for stellar honors, who, by dint of her talents, has made more than customary success on the stage, aided to some extent by her experience in dramatic stock work and an attractive stage appearance. Miss Walthers, is the daughter of Robert Hassard Walthers, a prom inent attorney of Stockton, Cal., who was a former classmate of Richard Walton Tully at Stanford university. Mr. Tully advised the daughter of his college chum, who had done things, in an amateur way on the coast, to set out for a pro fessional career, by gaining expe rience in some dramatic stock com pany. Miss Walthers, made her profes sional debut with the Pitt Theater Stock company in Pittsburgh. Three years in stock gave her her funda mental experience. She later played leading roles under William A. Brady's management in "Bahy Mine," and gained recognition for the Selyn's in "Fair and Warmer," and in the title part in "The Naughty Wife." . Before sailing for England re cently Mr. Tullv signed Mis Walthers to play leading roles un der his management. She is to be cast for an important part in Tullv's new production next season,- the locale said to be India. How Can You? There's 'an old Hibernian acting as grip on the Lyons and Moran sets at Universal City who has absented himself for a half day pn a dozen oc casions within the last six months to attend funerals. Finally Lee Mo ran remonstrated with him, not wish ing to see the old fellow discharged.

Director Frank Lloyd and the Goldwyn company filming "Out of the Dark," met -vith unusual obsta cles while taking Chinatown scenes in San Francisco, whence they have just returned to the Culver City studios. The Chinese residents turned in fire alarms on streets where the players were working and even went so far as to throw stones at the company. One of these mis siles struck Alan Hale, an actor, but did not seriously hurt him. The Chinese said that their race is pictured on the screen in an un favorable : light, that the scenario writers always make the yellow men out to be "dope" peddlers and gun men. Director Lloyd tried to ex plain, that the Chinese in "Out of the Dark" was a good Chink, but the Orientals said they had heard that story before from other companies.
