THEATRES
Coming to Majestic
A new musical offering produced
tinder the personal supervision of
Jean Bedini that will surpass many
a like effort in the masses of pretty
young girls that have been selected
for their singing and dancing abil
ity with lavish embellishment of
stage settings and endless array of
sartorical splendors, will be found
in Mr. Bedini's presentation of Clark
and McCullough in his greatest revue
entitled -Chuckles of 19 21,” formerly
called "Peek-a-Boo,” at Majestic
Theatre, Tuesday and Wednesday,
September 13 and 14.
It is in its fun that "Chuckles of
1921” will make its greatest appeal.
One scene in particular is bound to
be remembered for a long time after,
with huge delight. This is the com
* edy prize fight scene of which noth
ing funnier has ever been staged.
There are also an elaborate circus
seine and another concerning a real
old fashioned county fair in its two
acts divided into fourteen scenes.
In addition to Clark & McCullough
who, of course, furnish the major
part of the fun. will be found The
\\ bite Way Trio, Miss Emily Earle,
Jack Edwards, Pauline Anderson,
Helen Stanley, Henry Permane, the
Seven Musical Spillers, the Ten High
Steppers, Charlie Mack, Eddie
O'Rourke, Charlie Adler, Eddie
Marlfs and the Famous Bedini "Cud
dle Up” chorus.
Buck Jones at Crescent.
"The Big Punch," written by Jules
G. l-’urthman, which is to open at
the Crescent theatre today brings
the cyclonic young William Fox star,
Buck Jones, in another remarkable
picture.
It is said the photoplay has been
given most effective production, the
scenes having been taken in ,the
beautiful San Joaquin Valley of
Southern California.
The story in its unfolding, is re
plete with dramatic incidents, giving
this fine young actor opportunity for
a most sympathetic and forceful
portrayal of a man’s struggle against
those who have wronged him—a
struggle in which ho is inspired by
the girl ho loves and hy his noble
Did mother, who never lose their
faith in him.
Tho pregram is enriched by the
wonderful production "Puppets of
Hate," a picture starring Viola Dana.
Those Who have seen Miss Dana in
her latest productions will surely
want to see her in this one the most
massive of all. The program also
includes a News.

Wants Her Sex
To Take Vote on
Disarmament
By furnishing a national forum in
ivhich all American women, irrespec
tive of creed, class, condition or
political complexion, can meet and
pxchange views, the Woman’s Na
tional Foundation, in the opinion of
[ts first vice-president, Mrs. James
McDonald, is going to help inau
gurate a new era in the woman
movement.
Mrs. McDonald, who lived long
abroad, when her husband was open
ing up new oil territory in England, In
dia, China and Japan, has an inter
national viewpoint on most affairs.
Just now she believes that the cru
cial question before every country
is disarmament. For that reason she
has proposed the first referendum
among Foundation members, blanks
for which are now being prepared.
This referendum, provision for
which is made in the general Foun
dation program, will have the two
fold effect of focusing feminine at
tention on disarmament and of re
cording the opinions Foundation
tnembers express.
In order that membership in the
Foundation may be within the reach
of every forward looking woman in
America, the basic fee has been made
^1.00 a year. Those interested in
Its program, hopes and aspirations,
should communicate with cither Mrs.
C. C. Calhoun, president, or Mrs.
James McDonald, first vice-presi
dent, Woman’s National Foundation,

Pearl White at Ditnias.
Once more William Fox has pro
vided Pearl White, famous on the
screen, with a vehicle that enables
her to show that she is a versatile [
actress. Of late she has been seen
in mountain melodrama or high so-;
ciety plays, but tonight, at the Dit- j
mas* theatre, the star will portray an
emotional character in “Know Your
Men," the scenario for which was
written by Paul H. Sloane.
Miss White’s part called for her!
to work at high tension in several
scenes that would have taxed the
ordinary screen player’s ability to j
get them over without becoming1
overemotional. It was the force of
suppression and suggestion which
she gave to these scenes that stamps
her as an actress of extraordinary j
merit.
She appears as a carefully nurtured I
young society girl, who is suddenly -
awakened to the hard and cold facts
in life when her father's fortune is
swept away, carrying her friends' in
vestments with it.
