THEATRES
Ditmas Resumes Former Poller
Beginning today the Ditmas The
atre resumes its former policy of
photoplays and music. For the paôt
two weeks, in connection with the
regular photoplay program a musi
cal comedy company of New York
City has been presenting short musi
cal comedies on the Ditmas stage,
but in view of the fact that the man
u*e-nent of the Dltmas ha* » largt
program of world famous pictui-rs
booked, it waa found impossible lo
give the musical program and the
pictures too, so the contract with
the New York Company waa not re
lie w»d. Some Idea of the big pic
tu.-eu booked may be obtained from
the announcement that within the
couia>- of a very few weeks, D. W.
Griffith's "Orphans of the Storm"
wi:; be shown. Thie picture con
sists of twelve long reels. Then
there is also "Theodore," another
picture that has caused a big sen
sation wherever'shown.
Today tomorrow and Wednesday
the Ditmas presents "Poverty of
Riches" This Is a photoplay with a
meesage that wings straight to the
heart of every man and woman in
th« world. The role of the young
ir.other whose greatest desire In life
H'. destroyed by her husband's luat
for success is beautifully played by
Leatrice Joy. Others in the all-star
cast are Rich-rd 'Dix, John Bowers,
Irene Rich, Louise Lovely and
Frank le Lee.
CTMreni Attractions
A splendid picturixallnn of "The
Concert." the play In which Leo Dlt
richstein starred for several season*
with such success Is at the Crescent
theatre commencing today.
"The Concert" is a keen study of
human nature and contains a fund
ot sparkling humor—its situations
are genuinely laughable. It Is the
story of a -middle-aged tempera
mental m:islcal genius and an im
presslonab'j young wife—not his
own—and thier adventure as "soul
mates. The musical sensible spouse
and the husband of her "rival" Join
hands to teach the erring pair the
error of their ways by imitating
them. The result Is easily forseen.
The musician begs forgiveness of his
wife and the other woman rushes
into her own husband's arms.. per
manently cured of hero-worship.
The vaudeville program consists
of the following big Broadway acts:
Eoyal and Valentine, bits from op
era; Whrlnjan and Gold, In eccen
tricities: A Tough Break, comedy
variety act; Mullano and Lum, di
rect from the New York Hippo
drome; Four Songsters all in fun.

she was just a plain, hard-working
business woman. She was working
on "Peacock Alley." the first pro
duction she has attempted in her
new stud.'o It takes courage to
start out for yourself now in the
face of tbe censors and hard times.
"I am doing it Just on that ac
count." .«aid she. "Things are so
difficult at the moment The censor
bill is a menace in so many ways to
nrlistic production. But oolng μ!' -

scope.
"I feel ihatno time no- expense is
too great if only in the end I turn
out a gooi picturefl We do scenes
over and over again until we get
what satlstles us. I use nothing that
I feel Is not up to the highest
saanrard. We work on the same
principle that σηο works with a

wouldn't be so foolish as to wear it
unless it were perfectly suitable.
"I am glad that you like my
pflowns." she continued. "I design
them all myself. I start on my

the scenario. I do a great deal of
work on the sets. too. You see I

A Friend in Need
IN the whole town there is none who gives us more valuable service—and
gets less praise than an Undertaker! Like the doctor, the clergyman,
and the lawyer, he lias a professional reputation to maintain. He is in touch
with every modern development in burial service and insist you shall have
nothing but the best. That is why the Norwalk Vault is now used from
one end of the United States to the other. The most modern undertakers
everywhere make it the foundation of every funeral. Moulded granite, steel
reinforced, it is sealed by hand to become one solid piece of protecting
masonry, the Norwalk Vault is as great a comfort to the really conscientious
undertaker as it is to the sorrowing family. All who see it realize that the
Norwalk will protect forever their last tribute to the Departed.
