POLTS?"Irene."
Whatever may have been the vicis
situdes of the O'Dare tribe sincc the
days when the O* Da res were kings
and queens and princes in Ireland,
Irene O'Dare. the shop girl, proved
i conclusively to the audience at Poli's
? Theater last night that "blue blood"
can run true to form even though it
{may have come down through devious
j channels. Given the opportunity to
i wear the golden feathers of the so
ciety woman, the shop girl passes as
; a member of the most exclusive set.
i Not only does she accomplish this
J l'eat. hut two of her friends from the
shop also are equally successful, prov
ing the truth of the old, old adage,

"Irene" is a new musical comedy
land, in addition to lilting, haunting
; melodies and "snappy" songs and
; dances, with beautiful women and re
splendent setting, has a most amus
ing piot. The author, James Mont
j rOUH'O . and the brilliant composer,
I ilarry Ti? rn^ey, are to be congratulated.
: as well as Miss Kdith Day. who sings
;and acts "Irene" charmingly, assisted
by a very capable company
Mr. Montgomery has used the old
; story of the elevation of the shop
| girl in -in amusing if not a novel
j way, and the plot works out to a con
sistent conclusion. By the adoption
jot a plurality of scenes in each act.
j taking a cue either from the movies
J or from Shakespeare, the author vis
jualizes the story for the audience and
i shows the contrasts in Irene's life, at
I home and in the surroundings to
t which she has been elevated by
"dress."
I he acting of Edith Day. as the
shop girl, who talks and talks and
[then talks more, would assure her
| success even if she did not possess a
very sweet voice for song. She is a
l good girl, a hard working girl, and
la clever girl, all of which she sue-I
ceeds in imparting to Donald Mar-j
,shail. a wealthy man in the exclusive1
social set of New York and Long !
Island, in record time, so fast do
the words trip from her tongue It
happens that a few minutes before
this Marshall lias been told this by a
friend of "Mme. Lucy." a wonder
?ul dressmaker, who requires cus
tomers to advertise her dressmaking
art. and he decides Irene shall have
the chance for which she longs?to
wear clothes such as she has seen the
customers of her shop wear. She and
two of her friends are established as
customers of the dressmaker and
given an opportunity to appear at ex
clusive social functions. In two
months the fame of Mme. Lucy is
spread broadcast.

"23 1-2 Hours' Leave. i
The film adaptation of Mary ^ j
hart's magazine story. -?
Leave." by Thomas H. Ince, which j
is being shown at Loew's Palace this
week, is a sprightly, entertaining: !
story of a young sergeant who, a
few minutes after his dog has bitten
the general. wafers that the injured
dignitary will invite him to break
fast and that there will be muffins
on the bill of fare. Like all stories,
of course, lie wins the bet and the
general's daughter in the bargain, but
these conquests follow a round of
merry comedy happenings that brings
laughter with each fresh incident,
and amons those incidents is that of
the general receiving; a ripe tomato
squarely in the eye during a com
pany "tomato battle."
The picture, however, is of special
interest in that it introduces two new
stars to the screen world, a charming
young; actress, Doris May, and an
equally capable young comedian,
Douglas McLean, a native of Wash
ington and the son of a local clergy
man. who, however, had first thor
oughly exhausted his well meaning
efforts to divert the young man's ac
tivities into other channels.
It seldom helps to the enjoyment of
a good comedy to tell all about it in
advance. Something should be left
for those who wish to see it. But it
may with perfect propriety be said
of "23Vi Hours' Leave" that it fur
nishes throughly enjoyable and
laughable entertainment, and that its
young stars acquit themselves in a
highly creditable manner as players
of "the silent drama." Mr. McLean is
keenly alive to his possibilities as a
comedian and his work as the mis
chievous and daring rookie is excel
lently measured ou? and delivered.
Miss May discloses possibilities for
dainty, romantic roles in screen
drama that give high promise for j
future performances, and withal she
is delightfully charming.
The Palace orchestra is an im- |
portant feature of the. entertainment. |
playing the Carmen overture as well
as the picture accompaniment, and
minor features furnish lighter and
enjoyable accessories to the bill.
"Anne of Green Gables."
Those who love the warmth of sun
shine, understand the pathetic humor
of freckles and sympathize with the
tragedy of a child's missing a Sunday
school picnic, should see "Anne of
Green Gables" at the Rialto this week.
Mary Miles Minter has been given a
vehicle for her refreshing talents in
this adaptation of the "Anne" books
that is perfect. It is a compliment to
the crowds which attended the per
formances yesterday to say that they
did enjoy the attraction thoroughly.
"Anne." a freckled-faced girl of six- J
teen, romantic to a degree, comes from
the orphanage in response to a re- j
quest for a "willing child" made by the [
Cuthberts. The latter, a middle-aged
brother and spinster sister, living in a
New England backwater, supposed
they were to set a sturdy boy. The
girl, therefore, is an unwelcome sur
prise, but twines herself into the hon
est heart of the brother almost im
mediately. It takes longer to win the i
sister, who has about as much im
agination as a peanut, but the thing is
accomplished after Anne has passed
through trying situations into which
she is led by her vivid imagination.
Her experience with a skunk, shot by
the brother and pitied by the animal
loving girl, brings real action when
she arrives at lust at the picnic. A
beautiful scene is enacted in ihe loft
of the barn, whither Anne has been
banished pending the disappearance of j
the animal's memory, when the elderly i
woman craves pardon for thinking inis- I
takenly that the girl had stolen a I
cameo brooch. There is a pretty love !
story, of course, and the finale finds j
Anne, free of freckles and surrounded |
by the love and appreciation her sweet i
character and winning personality j
merit.
Hector Goldspink sings "Dear Old j
Pal" and "l Hear You Calling Me" with j
easy assurance, and a medley of popu- j
lar classics is played by the orchestra. '
A humorous picture is among the I
minor features. I
!
"The Snares of Paris."
A film study of diplomatic intrigue I
and sensational events, reaching prob
ably into every stratum of society in
Paris, is on vile w at Crandal.'s Thea
ter this week, under the title, "The
Snares of Paris." The story rushes
with irresistible momentum to a
climax as unexpected as it is melo
dramatically impressive.
Madlaine Traverse, "empress of
stormy emotion," is cast in the role
of Marguerite Coullard, wife of the
French minister of foreign affairs.
Her life has been free from every
thing but the appearance of social
intrigue with persons outside her
own circle. Her husband is preparing
a secret treaty of immense importance
for illicit uses by Beiloc, a traitorous
operative in the French secret service
stationed in another country. A mur
der is committed in an effort to se
cure the coveted document, and. in
her attempt to render atd lo thei
victim, Mme. Coul'.ard discovers a son
by a former marriage in an Apache
haunt in the lowest quarter of Paris,
where he has s,unk to the depths as
an absinthe fiend. From this point
ihe narrative pursues its flamboyant
course with the wild rush of unal
loyed melodrama.
A two-reel farce. "Wild Waves and

tures and orchestral accompaniment

From that time on the couple are
' pursued by telegrams which tell tnem
they are not .married legally. They
take the warnings to be "wedding

the house detective, who finally oust
"such peoplo" from the hospitable

NEW YORK. November 10.?Influ
enced mainly by labor developments
over the week end. selling of securi
ties in very large volume was re
sumed at the opening- of today's stock
market session.
Industrials of the several groups
which figured conspicuously in the
recent advance were under especial
pressure.
Reactions of 2 to almost 10 points
accompanied the first fifteen minutes
of trading in motors and their sub
; sidinries and steels and allied equip
ments.
! Oils and shippings also were heavy
j and investment rails finally yielded as
j selling broadened.
Some Recoveries.
J Substantial recoveries were made in
! the first hour, but not before many
; leaders had materially extended their
| ear?y losses.
I Su^h stocks as Industrial Alcohol.
Crucible Steel. General Electric and
| Ti ans^ontinental Oil ran counter to
j the general trend, soon showing actu
i al trains of 2 to 5 points.
Rallies among equipments and re
ilat?'?l shares carried other issues over
i last week's final prices and induced
heavy covering of short contracts,
j Irregular reactions occurred again
j prior to the opening of the money
j market.
? The initial rate for call loans was
12 per cent, despite last Saturday's favr
able bank statement.

Morris Bankers' Activity.
i
i One group of bankers in Amerh a
believes so strongly in the integrity
of the average, citizen's credit that it
is loaning more than $4??,000.000 a
year to all types of citizens solely oil
the basis of their earning capacity ^
and their promises to repay. Thc>
have definitely established that such
an extension of credit is sound.
In the year 1918 alone the 10:
banks and companies ??f the Morri
plan system loaned a total of mor?
than $35,000,000 without requiring
collateral t c> approximately HU'Miou
people at a loss from failure to re
pay of less than one-tenth of one per
per cent. In the present year the
amount loaned will be between forty
and fifty million dollars.
And while the cost of living is
soaring and landlords, butchers and
grocers take all they can get, the
Morris plan system finds that it can
still make a reasonable profit bv
charging the customary legal rates of
interest in all parts of the United
States.
In the opinion of the men of the ?
Morris plan, the record of practical!* f
I no loss from failure to repay the.--e
loans made without collateral is the
! most striking fact ever obtained to
> illustrate th? in egrity of w age earn
ers, small salaried employes and busi
ness men of limited capital.
