This is an unique situa tion in "Sitting on the World." Rosy stood by while the hero "licked the tar" out of the slanderer who stole his sweetheart while he was gone, as well as his fair name. And Rosy stood by' in the end while the fickle sweetheart came iack to "marry her Cal after all." But once was enough tor Cal, the homespun hero.

The family is not far from pov erty, but the father, in spite of his indolence, loves his family; so there is really mucn nappiness in meir lives. There are ' opportunities for some delicious bits of corned', with, of course, touches of pathos.

Von Stroheim plays the role of a bogus Russian count, whose habitat is Monte Carlo and whose oc cupation in life is to make love to every woman who strikes his fancy. Some he cultivates merely to wheedle them out of money. By varying his blandishments with downright blackmail, he manages to live like a prince. His cane, monocle and cigarettes are worn with the grace of one to the manner born, his Russian officer's uniform is glisten ing and spcckless, and in the luxurious villa he calls home, he affects start ling bath robes, silk pajamas and exotic ditts. Yon Stroheim is said to be the most polished "he-vamp" on the screen. He knows women and un derstands them as much as any man. He knows the weaknesses of feminine character and how to insinuate him self adroitly into their good graces. All this and more he portrays on the screen in "Foolish Wives."

XENNEBECK. A pre-view of "Foolish Wives" at the Brandeis theater Thursday night attracted a packed house. No doubt many expected to see the most daring villain of the screen in Krich von Stroheim, who is press agrntcd as "most swaggering, sin ful and dominating." The picture it self was presaged as an exhibit of daring revels and alluring women. In just criticism of "Foolish Wives," it is a picture that would have been the rage two yean ago with its bullet-headed villain prey, ing his passions on surrendering his debonair smoothness, he swag gers his way into women's hearts in the picture. "The Infidel." Katherine MarUonald's admirers, it is said, will find much to please them in her newest screen product, "The Infidel." which will be the at traction at the Strand theater this week. The story of "The Infidel." a tale of unbelief. love and adventure in the South Seas, is by Charles Logue. The picture was directed by James Young, noted in the screen world for his many triumphs in the directorial line. The cast includes a score or more of splendid players, chief sniong them being Joseph Dowling. Robert Ellis himself a director of prominence, temporarily won back to the actor's art, Melbourne Mac Dowell, a character interpreter par excellence, and Barbara Tennant, a screen actress of much charm and naturalness. sT 5- conuorc - ACTS ok x(l i ) I ,'cU Shipmrt Moon souls. Villain, did I state? Moron degenerate in natty attire, are more appropriate terms. If Stroheim ac tually meant to be hated by his por. trayal of the "villain," he accom plished his purpose. 'J he acting, beautiful setting), fire and storm scenes really make the picture. Story? Not much.' A no torious Lothario wants money. At Monte Carlo he clfrcts a meeting with the wife of an American envoy. Flattered by the villain's debonair manners, she permits hcrclf to be monopolized by him.
