THEATRES
“Dream Street” at Riunas.
D. W. Griffith comes to us again
with a new production which has
been acclaimed a work of art and
the most unusual story of symbolic
love and romance. This new Griffith
work is "Dream Street." It is being
■hown at the Ditmas theatre.
There are three personages stand
ing out like classic models ofgreat
art. They are Gypsy Fair ’’Spike" 61c
Fadden and his brother *‘BIUIe.”
Tins trinity of youth evolve the tense
aod teeming story of "Dream
Street." They fascinate with a spell
akin to the haunting harmonies of a
great aria and they are not without
their effective moral to the adorned
tale of their loves and romances.
Gypsy is a music hall dancer. "Spike"
and "Bille” McFadden are of the
district of the docks.
Spike is handsome and mighty
with his fists among men whom he
conquers, but he has also a gold
en voice that captures the girls. They
fall In love with Gypsy after seeing
her dance. Evil days fall upon them
through a series of complications
and a murder brings them to the at
tention of the police. Sway Wan. a
great Chinese gambler is also desir
ing Gypsy and so he plots to attain
his end. In the symbolism of the
story there comes forth the Good
one. typified by a street preacher
and the Evil influence shown through
the nomadic violinist, who charms
|L under the spell of music and causes
■ wickedness to temporarily triumph.
■ Harold Lloyd in "Rainbow Isl
■ and" is an added attraction.
V
Coining to Majestic
The fact that Mae Marsh, who
won a leading position in the screen
world through her dainty and whim
sical work in “The Birth of a Na
tion” and “Intolerance,” is now to
twcume a full-fledged star of the
•peaking stage, in a delightful char
acter comedy. "Brittle,” marks only
One further step forward in the am
bitions of a hard working artist. Her
work in the movies convinced her
that to win success one must have
outside Interests and relaxations and
she used to express a theory that
piuch of the success on the screen of
the leading players was due to their
excellence on ^the golf course, the
tennis court or in other outdoor
Sports. For herself Miss Marsh found
recreation in painting and sculpture
for which arts her early education
was adapted. But all her work—and
her recreation too—has been design
ed to the one end, that of fitting her
self for the arduous task of faithful
expression on the dramatic stage.
It has taken hard work and some
years to find a fitting vehicle for the
elf-like quality of Miss Marsh's gen
ius. but Richard O. Herndon, has
at last found it in a three-act Eng
lish comedy by Robert Dempster.
It is called “Brittle,” after the name
of its principal character. Brittania
Stack, a maid of all work who car
ries on her slender shoulders the en
tire care and guardianship of a shift
less family. The author of the com
edy calls it “A Wish in three acts;”
a fitting designation as audiences
will see, after all the thrills and trib
ulations. their wish for the little her
^ olne fulfilled.
H A beautiful production has been
” blade for this unusual comedy and
Mr. Herndon has provided Mae
Marsh with a notable cast of sup
porting players. These include Hu
bert Druce, Walter Connelly, David
Bindley, Frank Hollins, Ralph Hoag
land, Ralph Yearsley, Fred Nicholls,
Walter Wahl, Richard Haines.
Madge North, Amy Veness, Eleanor
Elkins, Lucile Terry, Jeannette

a little island in the lower reaches
of the Thames. It is a delightful
comedy of manners that Ideally suits
the piquant and whimsical talent of

Richard G. Herndon, the producer
of Robert Dempster’s brilliant com
edy in three a.cts which serves as a
starring vehicle for Mae Marsh, de
clares that this piece “Brittle” must
have been written to order for her.
It suits her whimsical, elf-like,
ouair.t qualities at every angle. In it
Mae Marsh plays the part of a de
spised maid of all work whose task
it is to save the shiftleas family for
whom she works. It Is a comedy
with an entirely new love story and
characterizations as distinct as those
of Dickens.

“Lost Romance” at Crescent
The best screen stories should de
pict those situations which occur in
the life of the average individual!
This is the conviction of William de
Mille. Paramount producer, whose
latest production, "The Lost Ro
mance,” la at the Crescent Theatre.
Thie principle has been faithfully
'arrled out In all of William de Mil
le's latest productions. Including
"Conrad in Quest of his Youth,”
"Midsummer Madness.” "What
Every Woman Knows." and his lat
est picture, “The Lost Romance." In
the latter, the story is simple. Two
men fall in love with the same girl.
she rejects one and marries the other
but after several years finding no
romance in her life with the young
physician, decides to divorce him for
the other suitor.
The sudden disappearance of her
child, however, awakens her to a true
sense of what romance really is and
that it is not to be found in moon
light gardens and day dreams, but
In the actual unfolding of everyday
life and in motherhood. Out of this
story are evolved some of the most
striking dramatic and logical situa
tions ever conceived—situations
which fit the daily life of any spec
tator.
Lois Wilson plays the girl and
others are Jack Holt, Conrad Nagel
and Fontaine La Rue.
