Pat Rooney and Marion Bent will make their Debut, here on the musical stage at the Glbbe Theatre on Thurs day evening of next week, in the stu pendous musical production, "Love Birds,” wihch Max R. Wilner and Sig mund Romberg have prepared espec ially for them. Seventeen years ago they made their first appearance as a team in vaudeville. • In "Love Birds”. Rooney and Bent are surrounded by an array of singers, dancers, comedians and entertainers such as seldom, if ever before have appeared in any single production. Heading the list of assisting artists are Elizabeth Murray, the famous Irish comedienne; Eva Davenport, th j heavyweight champion funstress, who is now making her first appearance since she was the rage of New York in the Gilbert and Sullivan successes at the Casino Theatre: Elizabeth Hines, phenomenal prima donna: Emilie Lea and Evelyn Cavanaugh, shapely stars of the dance; Barrett Greenwood, popular Broadway juven ilei and many others. “Love Birds” not only enjoys a list of famous stars in its cast, but it is j the joint work of an equally famous group of makers and shapers of musi cal cor.'t ly successes. All the world knows .Sigmund Romberg’s popular lilting melodies. Among his accesses are “Maytime”, “The Magic Melody”. "The Blue Paradise”, "The World of Pleasure”, "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.”. “.Monte Cristo. Jr.”, and every other A! Jolson and Winter Garden success since 1910. The ever clever Ballard Macdonald is responsible for the lyrics of “Love Birds”, while the prolific Ed gar Allan Woolf is responsible for the book. The entire production has been staged under the direction of Edgar McGregor and Julian Alfred, while the spectacular costuming and scenic ef fects are the work- of Homer Conant and the Buell Scenic Studios of New York. * In honor of the opening in this city, Sigmund Romberg will personally lead the special symphony orchestra which is accompanying the production. In Taylor Film at Apollo. The cast of “The Soul of Youth," the new Realart special which will be the featured attraction Thursday, Fri day and Saturday of next week at the Apollo Theatre, is a veritable gather ing of , youthful celebrities and infant prodigies. To begin with, there is Lewis Sar gent, playing the principal role. Since the showing of “Huckleberry Finn” to millions of people all over the country, young Sargent is perhaps the best known and liked boy actor in the world, though Master Ernest Butter worth, of the famous snub nose, runs him a close race for popularity. Mas ter Butterworth has been acting be fore the camera for some time and his saucy face is well liked by motion pic ture audiences. He is a wonderful little comedian, as will be recalled by all who saw him In the role of “The Kid,” In Allan Dwan’s production, “The Luck of the Irish.” Little Miss Lila Lee, already well known on the screen, is another mem ber of the cast, and handles a charm ing girl role with her usual cleverness, william Collier, Jr., who plays “beau” to the ingenue, is the son of the well known actor, Wllllftn Collier, but is not wholly dependent upon his fath er’s fame for consideration, as he has made something of a mark for himself both in stage productions and upon the screen as well. In addition to these clever juveniles, there are several distinguished adult actors and actresses, not the least dis tinguished of whom are Judge Ben Lindsey and his wife, of Denver, Colo rado. Judge Lindsey has not deserted the bench for the screen, but consent ed to apepar in several scenes of this distinctly "boy” picture solely because of his intense interest in boys, espec ially boys of the street who have never had a square deal, nor a chance to de velop happily and normally into good men. Julia Crawford Ivers, who was re sponsible for the scenario of “Huckle berry Finn,” wrote the story and sce nario for this picture, which is direct ed by William Desmond Taylor, whose work in making distinguished pictures is too well known to require comment. He has directed a number of pictures for Miss Mary Miles Minter, the Real art star. A DIFFICULT IDLE "Blizzard” at The Virginia. Lon Chaney, who plays the part of •Blizzard,” king of the underworld in Ciouverneur Morris’ new Goldwyn Pic ture. “The Penalty,” which comes to the Virginia Theatre, for four days, commencing Saturday, has a most dif ficult role to perform. "Blizzard” is supposed to be a man whose legs have been cut oft at the knees. To do the part. Chaney must go with the lower part of his legs strapped back and must walk on his knees. On account of stopping the circula tion, it is impossible for the actor to iiold the position for any great length if time, so a dummy is substituted for him during rehearsal and .Chaney inly comes on while the scene is actu •lly being filmed. Chaney won milch' praise for bis work as the hypocriti :al lame beggar In "The Miracle Man." SILK HOSIERY Attraction at The Virginia. A desperate struggle staged In “Silk Hosiery.” Enid Bennett’s latest star ring vehicle which will be shown at the Virginia Theatre for three days beginning Wednesday, is no man-to man combat, hut a contest of angry women, with hairpins dying, and a gleaming dagger flashing in the dim light. Miss Bennett, as Marjorie Bowen, a modiste’s model, finds a jewel and a letter that she has been sent to ob tain, in the possession of an unscrupu ■w r private concert, she meets Royal and bte wife, chosen for him by his par ents. v * The story is full of pathos and in tense situations, relieved by a vein of humor, which is very entertaining. It all ends very happily, but Jenny at the apex of her musical career gives it up at the command of love. [ “Jenny Be Good” is the photo-drama ! of thesbook by the same name, written | by Wilbur Finley Fauley, well-known j in the literary world as a contributor to various magazines and as the soci ety, editor of one of New York’s princi pal dailies. The novel is one of the season’s best sellers and the photo drama follows the story very closely. -I HELEN HAYES IN “BAB” Apollo Theatre Three Days, starting next Monday. lous woman, and she battles effective ly for their recovery. Her antagonist, Marie Pavis, well known emotional actress, is Miss Ben nett’s equal in size and strength, so that both nursed scratches and bruises for several days afterwards. Their gowns were badly torn, and there were enormous casualties in hairpins. The picture is a delightful one and presents Enid Bennett in an unusually novel role. It is thrilling and there is much enjoyable comedy. him in mu Wilette Kershaw, who plays the leading role in “Woman to Woman,” the new play by Michael Morton, which A. H.
