| CAPACITY HOUSES | AGAIN ACCLAIM AMATEDR PLAY "Jack's Wife," Under Hospital Auxiliary Auspices, a Great Success "Jack's Wife" has grown more popular in Oshawa the better she has become known. When intro- duced to theatre-goers on Monday night at Martin's theatre, under Hospital Auxiliary Auspices, the play of this name was acclaimed as a pronounced success. It was nat- ural, therefore, that capacity houses should turn out to enjoy it the two following nights, And it is to be ex- pected that the play will meet with the same popularity when it is given in Bowmanville to-night and in Whitby on Friday night, The com- plete success of the play is fully de- served, because of the able way in which every member of the company did his or her allotted task, and to the director Mr, Theodore H. Bird, The cast of the play 'was as follows: Dorothy McMurtry as Mercy Baxter; Jack's wife, a little sunbeam; Cliff Henry, as Jethro Baxter, Mercy's father, a rough dia- mond; George Findlay, as Jakes Baxter, dad's boy; Theodore Bird as Jack- Henderson; Mrs, O, J.

ONTARIO'S PUBLAC OWNERSHIP Toronto Globe--A writer in the Hamilton tor This was the |iner AT THE NEW MARTIN Jack Shear's Big Musical Revue which plays the New Martin Theatre all next week comes highly recom- mended to Manager Ernie Marks, from the Temple Theatre, Brantford, where they have been playing for eight straight weeks. This' company differs from other musical shows in that all the members are high class vaudeville artists and the chorus is made up of pretty girls who dress in beautiful costumes and conduct them- selves at all times both on the stage and on the street as ladies. The company carry special scenery and no expense is spared in putting on the show in first class style. You have seen the rest, now see the best. AT THE REGENT The baby used in "Bought and Paid For," William de Mille's latest Paramount production, showing at the Regent theatre next Monday and Tuesday, developed a slice of tem- perament one day during the filming of the picture and for a while every- one, including players, director, pro- perty man, and everybody on the staff, engaged themselves in getting the infant into the frame of mind to work properly. Finally it began to smile and all manifested relief, "Camera!" called Mr. de Mille, his eyes intent on the child, which acted like an old time trouper, All of a sudden the younster glanc- ed at Jack Holt, who with Agnes Ayres plays one of the two leading roles, and at Walter Hiers, who sup- plies the comedy element. They were not even moving. 'So interested in seeing that the baby acted, they for- got to act, themselves. Fortunately, it was only a rehearsal---no film had been shot. Next time, as the camera was turn- ed, everybody acted, including the baby, and the scene was filmed with- out difficulty. AT THE REGENT Handsome, polished, subtle Rob- ert McKim gives another of his pow- erful character delineations as "Rulon Shepler'" in Benjamin B. Hampton's great photoplay of Har- ry Leon Wilson's novel,--A Hodkin- son released production which eomes to the Regent Theatre next Friday and Saturday. As js the case with other characters of the novel, the role played by Mr. McKim is a very human one. He is the Villain, no mistaking that, but his wickcdness is natural, and humor erters the .

In *"The Spenders" nis exit is not one of those dignified deaths which, it is said, give him sympathy at the eleventh hour. It has the elements of comedy about it, an yet tae way he enacts it is typical ol Lis polished histrionic art. AT THE NEW MARTIN Eugene O'Brien comes to the New Martin theatre for a three day's run starting tonight, in his latest Selz- nick comedy drama, "Chivalrous Charley," whose other name is Reilly, and whose pet diversion is to make hard-boiled New York under- stand that the Celtic temperament is mild and forgiving and shy, ex- cept--when the ladies are involved. And to Charley Reilly's distressed eyes the ladies appear to be involved in everything. With such a combination as O'- Brien and Reilly, it can be assumed that in "Chivalrous Charley" things move. In faet, it is claimed that they never stop from the moment Charley enters the dining car on his way East, after having spent some time at his uncles expense in the wilds of the West among "the rough- necks," until he lands at his uncle's New Rochelle home in the lead of a squadron of motorcycle cops, ete, bent on arresting him before hav- ing to call in the assistance of the Allied Armies and Navies. The many twists in the cross-fire action of this six-cylinder tale refuse to be straightened out into a news- paper review. But to those who fancy hair-breadth escapes, perilous situations galore, romance and a shifting backgroun®?> sprinkled with a generous lot of good old fashioned exercise in the gentle art of self- defense, then "'Chivalrous Charley" will provide am evenings invigorat- ing entertainment.
