GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. 11 '
before the home of the Immortal Longfellow, at
Cambridge, Mass.
Miss Munson was also the inspiration for the
figure of liberty adorning the Maine monument
at the entrance to Central park, in New York
City.
ea, "Inspiration," in which Miss Munson appears
In the leading role, was screened at the Than
houser studios in New Rochelle, N. Y.
The story, much of the locale of -which Is laid
in New York, deals with Miss Munson's arrival
in the metropolis, her inability to find work during
which she all but starved to death, and finally
an accident a fortunate one in this instance
which resulted in her securing her first step on
the ladder that later brought her fame.
"Inspiration" will be shown at the Rex theatre
for three days only, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 1.
DADDY LONG LEGS
$k
$ All the fascination of a pretty girl's winning
fight for a chance in life is set forth in "Daddy
Long Legs," which Henry Miller will present at
, tTTe Salt Lake theatre on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday next. This story of a modern Cinde
rella, written by Jean Webster and first published
in a woman's magazine, has since, in book form,
charmed over six million readers.
"Daddy Long Legs" has youth, charm and
quaint humor. It is the story of a pretty waif in
a bleak New England orphan asylum, whose head
is full of dreams of becoming a great author. One
day, while the trustees are visiting the asylum,
Judy rebels against the tyranny of the austere
matron. One of the visitors, Jervis Pendleton, a
rich and philanthropical man of the world, ad
mires her spirit and decides to give her a chance
in the world. Judy is not to know the name of
the man who befriends her, but is told to write
him monthly letters addressed to "John Smith."
She sees his grotesque shadow cast on the wall by
the lights of his motor car as he departs at dusk
and nicknames him "Daddy Long Legs."
And plain Judy of the asylum is transported
by the magic wand of wealth to a big college for
girls. The little wild flower of the asylum rap
idly blossoms into a beautiful rose and the saucy
letters she writes her unknown guardian soon be
gin to interest Pendleton. He goes to the col
lege, ostensibly to visit his niece, and meets Judy.
And then it is that the charming story begins to
move rapidly and the whimsical humor, touching
pathos and tender sentiment of the succeeding
acts give the play an indescribable fascination.
LIBERTY
That somewhat barbaric epoch in the history of
Oklahoma known as the "border days," has been
almost lost to memory in the development of that
state, but occasionally someone, by oral or written
ty word, 'brings again to mind the tragedies tinged
with romance that accompanied the raids of those
sinister riders known as outlaws, and who preyed
upon banks and railroads and merchants and the
wealthier private citizens of that commonwealth.
Salt Lake is to have the opportunity" during
the week of January 30 to February 6 to learn
with the exactness of the accuracy of an eye
witness what really transpired, what penalties
were inflicted, what sufferings ensued, what pur
suits were inaugurated, and how captures followed
with succeeding imprisonments and deaths.
"The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaw," a
.jrphotodrama dealing with facts only, telling the
historic story of Oklahoma's eradication of the
outlaw and the means used to accomplish that
end, will be the feature for one week at the
Liberty theatre beginning Sunday.
"Arkansas Tom," a member of the notorious
Doolln-Dalton gang, who served his time in prison;
Henry Starr, the recently captured desperado;
&
former United StateB Marshal E. D. Nix; former
Deputy U. S. Marshals Bill Tilghman and Chris
iMadsen and many others who actually participated
in the events of Oklahoma's earlier history, en
acted their roles of years ago by living through
them again that the camera might preserve a per
fect likeness of men and events.
WILKES STOCK
No play presented by the Wilkes players since
the beginning of their highly successful season
has met with more approval than "The Woman"
by William C. DeMille. To begin with, it is an
exceptional play so filled with Interest and tense
ness, though frequently relieved with the wittiest
of lines, that even an average company would
have difficulty in spoiling it. But the people who
are playing it here, particularly Nana Bryant,
Claire Sinclair, John C. Livingstone, Clifford
Thompson and Ferdinand Munier bring out all of
the strength contained in the lines and situations,
and the work of Miss Bryant, as the telephone op
erator about whom most of the action revolves,
and that of Miss Sinclair (The Woman) is paral
lel with the best they have been credited with
since their arrival.
The story of "The Woman" is the old one
elaborated upon, of a political ring attempting to
make a recalcitrant bend the knee to their will
by getting something on him. They learn of the
woman in the case whom he has known some
years before, but the telephone operator cleverly
comes to the rescue and all ends as it should.
Scenically the play is splendidly staged, and the
entire production one of class.
PANTAGES
A Willard Mack sketch played by Les Morgan
and Beryl Gray, Naomi, a violiniste who also sing3
and dances; John and Mae Burke in "The Rag
time Soldier"; The Girls of the Orient; La Toy
and Ed Vinton make up a bill at the Pantages
this week that will keep tho crowds and Manager
Newman busy exchanging smiles and big iron
men.
It is a good bill all along the line, though
the alleged headliner, "The Girls of the Orient"
mean nothing in one's life unless their dancing
comedian may be excepted. The bill is well worth
seeing, containing real vaudeville from start to
finish, though it includes no princess stripped to
the buff for the delectation of those who care to
study anatomy.
