KTialieet, moat drab, but by all odds the most perennially interesting boarding houses to be found in the -world, those of the Quartler Latin and of Washington alone except ed. She haa built a regular boarding ? house character comedy, with two . act* of brilliant aatire. a trite young Ki rl-alone-tn-New-York story, and a ? study of types which is the most ? vividly realistic thing of its kind that ? we have seen tn moons. Theae types ? are grotes-que. but not in the Gold ? berglan sense; they have the accent ? of exaggeration never to the point of ?farce, but with sufficient tnciatveness . to convey their humorous values with j unerring effectiveness. ?

We are ^tempted to compare thia scene with ??certain grotesque revelations of ^Manhattan life in Martin Brown's ?? Very Good Young Man." although ?t-he latter comedy made no pretense J> being a slice of life. ? The caat of the play contains no Jtell-known names, and therefore is ?well balanced and uniformly excellent. Through her work in the role of penelope Fenn, Misa Constance Bin trey adds her name to the long line of ^omUing American ingenues.

The name of the com poser of "Robin Hood" still carries ? guaranty of unusual musical In terest, and it should be said first of all that the new production In no m, se detracts from that long-stand ing assurance. The familiar flair for original melody. richness of oi < hestration and brilliancy of flnal ensembles ar?? all in evidence.

Those who viewed thia compelling subject, yesterday, understood why this picture established new records on the Paciflc Coast by running for eight consecutive weeks in one the ater to absolute capacity at every performance. It deal* so intelligently, so humanly and so convincingly with events that have fallen within the ex perience of every man, woman and child as to form a document of ex ceptionally broad appeal.

It is filled with simplicity and charm, and its quaint, whimsical story carries with H ?? appeal that cannot be denied. There arc no soldiers, no fighting, no battle scenes. It ? sim ply what its title suggests?a romance set In an Impossible locale. It pounds home no propaganda; It thumps no pulpit; it is without ser mon or moral, only such as life teaches in Ita quiet way. But in the unraveling of Its simple plot Griffith manages to play upon the heart strings like a master. Crnndall** Savey?"Roautpce of Happy Valley." "A Romance of Happy Valley." most recent production of D. W. Griffith, was shown at Crandall's Savoy yesterday to appreciative viewers. Unlike the other Griffith pictures of the last year or two, the great war has no place in this film. Neither have the other smashing, big scenes that are a usual char acteristic of his work. The pendulum has swung the other way, and just the* opposite effect has been produced?a etory of every day life in a peaceful rural community?yet nevertheless a striking evidence of the Griffith ian ability to sound the Innermost recesses of human emotions with the telling sympathy that has gain ed for him a reputation for wixardry In moding the human clay that comes to his hands. The story Itself Is not a great one. but is made so by its interpre tation. Lilian Glsh. who portrays the leading role has one of her ty pical characterisation-??a pretty. bashful and gawky girl?and she rather seems to live than play the part, so delicate and tender ts Ita rendition.
