fc he RE TTA PAGE FOUR et | THEATRES HER SHIMMY DANCE MAKES RATS WILD Clarence Hill, manager of the 'Antlers and Majestic Theatres, Rose- burg, Oregon, finds in window-dis- play tie-ups, a most inexpensive and productive method of exploitation. To exploit "A Virtuous Vamp," Mr. Hill procured a pair of Japanese waltzing mice. He placed this sign over the mice cage which was placed in a prominent merchant's display window, '"These two mice were caught in the Antlers Theatre the day after a showing of Constance Talmadge in 'A Virtuous Vamp." We'll say her shimmie dance can make rats wild." A crowd of Roseburg people lined the window four deep. "THE UNLOVED WIFE Who was it that said: "Women are seldom what they seem?" No Mat- ter, 'tis true, In the new dramatic success, in three acts "The Unloved Wife," which comes to the New Martin Theatre, Oshawa for Matinee and night, Friday September 22nd, with matinee reserved for ladies only, Florence Edna May, the auth- oress, does not follow along the lines of the poet who wrote: "Only a fool tries to understand a woman", But Miss May takes an opposite view- point: "Only a fool would try not to understand his wife," And there lies a big idea for a wonderful play. Miss May also saw possibilities for exploi- tation of a character which has nev- er before heen used in dramatic con- struction. You probably know a dozen couples who are unhappily parried. Why? You possibly can advance one reason but is it corréct? Have you never thoroughly tested the love of your husband? Prof. Earl Barnes, formerly of Leland Stanford University speaking in Bos- ton at a state social work confer- ence, said: "It is a monstrous thing for any man and woman to live in close intimacy of married life, if, they do not love each other ardently. In a production, stamped as a re- markable play of dramatic power, Florence Edna May unfolds the story of 'the woman." True, the play bares the soul, but in handling a subject such as this one, the author- ess could not deviate from the orig- inal theme, even if it did strike to the heart of theatregoers who jour- ney to the theatre for amusement, It is a remarkable story, made into a more remarkable play, and will be | offered to theatre patrons here with | a brilliant company and New York | production, | The evening performanecs are for | everybody over the age of sixteen. "THE TOP OF NEW YORK" Hilda O'Shaunnessey and her in- valid brother, Micky, live in a tene- | ment. Hilda clerks in the toy de-| partment of a big store and hopes to save money to send Micky to a sani- tarium. Meanwhile, she keeps him | on the roof as much as possible, and | there he makes the acquaintance of little Susan Gray, daughter of Emery | Gray, an artist, who has built a] bungalow on the roof of an apart-| ment house in the next street. Hil-| da's devotion to Micky arouses] Gray's interest is the girl. To at-| tract the Christmas trade in the toy| department, Hilda is dressed up in| various fancy costumes and as an! animated doll is a great success. Her | beauty attracts the proprietor of the store and he asks he rwhat she wants | for Christmas. The girl asks for an expensive fur coat, plannig to sell it to get Micky into the hospital with the money and then commit suicide rather than pay the price which she knew would be expected for the coat Gray sees her on the roof and pre- vents her rash act, thrashes the man who has tried to win Hilda by such means, and asks her to become his wife . May McAvoy, with her fascinating personality, is an attractive star and gives to the picture a real human ap- peal. It comes to the Regent on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. MAE MURRAY IN "FASCINATION" Everyone will agree that "Fasci- nation is the best picture Mae Mur- ray has ever made. And in it she | does the best work o fher career. | With this intelligent, strong background, Robert Z. Leonard, the | director, has fashioned a production | for his wife with his customary lav- | ishness in settings, costumes and ap- 1 pointments that is far more than just a fitting vehicle for Miss Murray. | By changing the title from a noun | to an adjective you get an ap-! propriate description; of Mae Murray | in her role of the incorrigible flap- | per whose creed is "follow your im- pulses," which was inherited in the blood of her Spanish father's family. She is called upon to enact an usus- ually gay young debutante utterly devoid of repose. Those who are even slightly familiar with Miss Mur- ray's work will realize that this sort of role exactly fits the star, It comes to the Regent, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 21, 22, 23, QUEEN OF BATHING BEAUTIES TO BE AT THE NEW MARTIN What made Marie Prevost queen of the bathing beauties and gave her the most admired figure in pictures? On hot days, swimming. On cool days, golf on a course near Univer- sal City. At least, that's what she says. Of course, she was "born that way"--and with the training she has always followed, has kept herself in fine physical trim. In "Don't Get Personal," the Uni- versal special attraction which brings her in a stellar performance to 'the New Martin Theatre next Monday, she shows that acting, however, and not the display of a shapely figure, is what the fates intended .for her. In the Universal comedy-drama in which she has starred since leaving the beach comedy ranks, she has dis- played a talent and cleverness which makes one wish that she hadn't stay- ed in the bathing beauty class so long. When she was discovered by Mack Sennett during a visit she paid to one of his actresses one day, she join- ed the heauty squadron formed by Gloria Swanson, Phyllis Haver and Mary 'Thurman. Like them, she eventually graduated into the dra- matic star class, But she'll always be glad that she spent her earl girlhood developing her nearly perfect figure until she knew no peer in the beauty class on the screen. For in the comedy-dra- mas such as "Don't Get Personal," besides the constant semi-display of a a he Sere Ra LE area OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 EH --. ,--e o - the form occasioned by women's fashions of today, there is a scene now and then requiring more than ordinary beatuy to "put it over."

Young was the speaker at the Port Hope Rotary luncheon on Thursday, the subject being "Real Es- tate and Values," The address was one: of the most informative given to the Rotary Club for some time, Mr. Young bringing out many legal points which were new to the members, says the Port Hope Times, The Very Idea Felix--They tell me your com- plexion is all made up.

Alexandra Park (Continued from page 1) Dr. Henry declared that nothing of the kind had been given, and inti- mated that he had informed Dr. Kaiser about games taking place at the Park this afternoon, and the latter remarked that a couple of days delay would make little differ- ence, Had No Authority Dr. Henry pointed out the import- ance of the field to the athletic or- ganizations and thought if the plow- ing was stopped and the turf laid back in its former position, the field would not he affected. Com, Stalter declared that the work had gone on without proper authority and that they might as well think of plow- ing up the golf links. If the sod were taken up where the knolls were ee prominent, and the earth removed, the sod could be replaced and the ground would be levelled perfectly. Cammissioner Ellis pointed out that athletic organizations must be con- sidered as it was from them the Commission received most of its rev- enue, He would go on record as being opposed to the field being torn up. It was formerly their inten- tion of waiting a year or two for the north of the oval to become suitable for games before making im- provements to the present athletic 'grounds, he stated, "I suppose it is spoiled now' Com- missioner Stalter remarked. "It will be in another half day," Com, Coad added. Dr. Henry declared that if the Commission wanted to check. the proceedings they could do so after giving it ample consideration, "You don't need to consider that after a team being put in there to destroy the grass, Stop it!" Com. Stalter retortad. Dr. Henry thought that the com- mittee appointed to look after the ex- penditure of the money had only the right to confer in an advisory way with the Parks Commission. Mayor Stacey was upder the impression that the money voted towards im- provement to the athletic field was for the morth end of the oval alone, Com, Coad, was of the opinion that Dr. Kaiser had heen appointed by the Town to spend the money judic- jously in improving the oval in gen- eral. -- He was opposed to plowing up such a beautiful piece Dr. if about loam were procured, and placed in the hollows and the sod lifted at certain points to remove knolls, that averred. that Henry's opinion Dramatic Attraction NEW MARTIN MATINEE and NIGHT NOT A PICTURE FRI.
