Irene Was 4'Over There"
Irene Franklin and her husband,
Burton Green, have just, "done" the
sawdust circuit back of the Yankee
lines in France. They came back to
New York a short time ago and were

Wglns an engagement at Poll's The- I
ater this evening.
There is something new about all
Mifls Franklin's work in "The Pass-j
tug Show." There is no suggestion of i
.familiarity in her song "When the]
Kaiser's Mother Called Him little |
Willie," which, made to flt the emerg- !
ency of the moment is screamingly
funny. Her dresses, to4>, smack of a I
newness in both color and design, j
While her hair?but who ever could
describe that lovely, touseled, curly
head of brightness? Indeed, Miss Irene j
Franklin is as funny as ever a comedi
enne can be. She's pretty, refined, in
telligent. and has a sense of humor.
Which is rarer than all the other I
qualities.
Miss Franklin was the first Ameri
can artist to volunteer her services
to go "over there" into the Over There
Theater League. Elsie Janis preceded
her into the camps, but then Miss
Janis was already on the other side.
Miss Franklin and her husband had
to sail from this side.
'."New York, Boston and Chicago
now." says Miss Franklin, "are 'small
time' compared to the 'one night
stands' in the Yankee camps. That is
the real job, and, I want to tell you.
too. that it is a moral problem, for
I learned that when the boys can get
wholesome entertainment they will
stay away from the things that de
grade and ruin them.
"I took my little 'Red Head* costume
with me. socks and all. and whetne?
It was freeling or raining I never
failed to appear in that garb. Just
back of the lines?we often got pretty
close to the trenches?it was exciting.
You see we weren't allowed many
lights. just candles, and the theater
was a truck upon which was placed a
bum piano with a dozen keys missing
and the rest out of kelter. But the
boys simply went wild over the im
promptu s entertftinment, for they
knew we were the real thing trom'
home. Many of them knew us, or,
had seen Mr. Green and myself In
vaudeville or In Winter Garden shows, I
so that made them feel at home." ,

Rachmaninoff is to play his own C

By HOLLAND.
Col. Roosevelt saw to It that his

f il" was fond of standing in front
| of his tent, motionless, intently
watching his well disciplined troops
while they were at Play or in such
temporary evolutions as the rules
prescribed.
There came to Col. Roosevelt at
that place upon a warm sutnmer
'afternoon two or three friends who
| had an Important -communication to
make to him. He ww them wearily
climbing over the sands towards his
thall appears as the star beginning to
day. .
"The False Faccs" has been pro
duced from an adaptation of Louis
Joseph Vance's Saturday Evening
Post serial in which the further ad
i venture* of "The Lone Wolf" are re
counted. The story is distinguishes ~y
rapid action, tense plots, intricate sit
uations and splendid character deun
| eations, and any one who has scot*
| Henry Walthall in action knows that
lit is Just tTlis type of story that tits
(this virile and inspiring artist.
There are so many interesting angles
j from which "The False Faces" coulu
be discussed to give the playgoer an
idea of the story that o"ne is forced
to view the broad tcope of the plot
which reaches from America to Ku
ropo and back again as its chief rec
ommendation IDs a feature that will
indeed entertain and supply the thrill
that creeps up the spine as well. Love
! enters into the story?a mysterious
' and lovely girl, involved in a n* twors
of lies, suspicions and untoward h ip
penines. The picture Is tilled with
that Quality of suspense that holds the
spectator open-mouthed, rigid in h:s
chair, waiting with "bated breath eacn
new development until the startling
I denouement which unravels the snarl
and brings out triumphant those who
are enmeshed by the-web.
To say that Mr. Walthall is sup
ported by a splendid cast is to para
phrase the individual words of praise
that each member of the company
merits. That the production is sump
tuou-ly staged is but to repeat that it
| us all that one would expeot from the
| master hand of Thomas H. Ince.
