THEATRES "After Midnight,” a Ralph Tnce production starring Conway Tearle, will be the featured photoplay at traction at the Strand theatre next Monday. This Is Ralph Ince’s latest Selxnlck picture and according to advance notices the production is one of the latest moving dramas ever created by this capable direc tor. Ralph Ince already has made his mark In the photoplay world, both as an actor and a director, and the mere announcement. "A Ralph Ince production.” usually amounts to nothing more nor less than an assur ance of faultless entertainment. He is a keen student of screen technique and has been responsible for some of the best photoplay entertainments of the past few years. In producing "After Midnight” Mr. Ince has taken a popular star, a powerful story and an adequate sup porting cast and made them Into a production that promises to hold Its audiences from the first scene to the last. The story Is by John I.ynch nnd much of the locale is in China town and the situations are said to be many and rapid. Chaplain Feature Charles Chaplin has another knockout in "The Idle Class.” his latest First National comedy, which will Sc shown at the Strand theatre all week. Charlie, sensing the pres ynt-day trend, has boiled down ten reels of fun to two reels and the re sult is a kaleidoscope of laughs. Charlie in a dual role Is at his best— and that needs no elaboration. Mack Swain, the only American rival of Stamboulski. premier of Bulgaria, again proves that he is a superb foil to Chaplin. In “The Idle Class” Mack towers above Charlie in Scottish kilts and, inci dentally. settles a long-disputed question which bothered the vyomen of the world during the war: "Do Scotties wear 'undies' or don't they?" He does It while leaning over to con nect with Charlie's spearr. But that's just an incident among a thousand other side-splitting situations. Chaplin Is supported by Edna Pur viance, Henry Bergman. John Kand. Allan Garcia, Loyal Underwood and Lillian Parker. Miss Parker was placed under contract by Mr. Chap lin as a result of her superb work in "The Kid.” Fairbanks Today at hllmas Sixteen duels, a man holding up a broken bridge while three riders cross it ,the stealing of a queen's jewels, a desperate fight with a con scienceless woman for their recov ery, the smashing of one of the greatest Intrigues of history—these are but a few of the dramatic in cidents in Douglas Fairbanks’ sixth United Artists picture, "The Three Musketeers." scheduled for a week's run at the Ditmas beginning today. History retold in celluloid! That's what is claimed for this feature Based on the marvelous adventures and escapades of the dashing D’Ar tagnan and three of King Louis Kill's Musketeers, this photoplay unfolds the history of France In the early Seventeenth Century when monarchy was dominated by the de signing and crafty Cardinal Rich elieu, a soldier by training hut a statesman and churchman only by virtue of intiigues he devised. No more vivid and picturesque tale has ever been presented on the screen than this. From a photo graphic standpoint it is a work of art. and costumes and sets, are mar velous. It is believed that this photoplay will go down In film his tory as one of the classic produc tions. Fairbanks’ interpretation of the dashing and impulsive D'Artagnan will present him to his admirers in a new light, nnd the work of the all s'.itr cast that supports him will in sure oatlsfactlon to all photoplay toers. “Foolish Matrons” at Crescent If there is any significance to tames, then surely devotees of the photoplay will look forward with anticipation to Maurice Tourneur’s production of "The Foolish Ma trons" which will be seen at the Crescent Theatre today, tomorrow i and Wednesday. The production, which was made under the direction of Maurice Tourneur and Clarence L. Brown will be presented with one of the most brilliant casts that' the cel ebrated producer has yet presented to the photoplay fans. Hobart Bosworth whose popularity has placed him in the front rank of screen stars will appear in the lead ing masculine role while Doris Muy will be one of three leading wom en. The story does not center around a single heroine however and Mildred Manning together with Kathleen Kirkham will share equal honors with Miss May. Betty Schade, Done of the best known “heavy” wo men of the screen and Margaret Mc Wade will also appear prominent in the play while Charles Meredith. Wallace MacDonald. Michael Dark and little Frankie Lee fill out the remainder of a cast that can not only be rightfully termed "All-Star." but one of the greatest ensembles of popular players that have yet ap peared in a single production. At Majestic Tomorrow “Margie.” the McGregor Com pany's rapid tire volley of melody, rhythm and huumor is to be with us tomorrow night.at the Majestic the atre. In their collaboration Messrs. Hardin, Edwards and Myers are said to have struck a cord of singular sympathy. Leon Edwards’ music carrying through Its varying moods the romantic charm of the book and lyrics supplied by Thos. Hardin and Hugo Myers. Outside of Elmer Coudy, who has scored a spectacular sqccess in the principal comedy role, the outstand ing feature of the show Is said to be 3 the chorus. "Twinkling twins of tickle-toes tripping to the tinkling tunes of Terpsichore" Is the way one critic enthusiastically describes the efforts of the girls. The man agement bill the chorus as "The most beautiful woman In the world” and those who have witnessed the production seem willing to let the claim go unchallenged. rVITAMINESl | are an essential factor in I promoting healthful growth I Scott's Emulsion | is far richer in the fat tu j soluble A vitamine ; than cream.
