ERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND SCREEN -ews of the Week By Thespian SCREEN | CAlL op THE CANYON" Paramount Picture McVicker's Theatre ade from Zane Grey's novel, it is too difficult to catalogue this effort, reading the title. A familiar sort story, embellished with beautiful es in Arizona and excellent acting Richard Dix. rom the effete East, pictured as ht but Jazz and flappers, goes the to Arizona, seeking health. He it m that wonderful country and des to stay. His bethrothed, follow- him there, likes it not, refuses to ry him except he return to New k, and leaves when he refuses to Little disturbed, the hero proposes, accepted and reaches the altar with vely girl of the west.

Lois Wilson has been ter in other things but is very good look upon. Noah Berry is hardly convincing a villain as his brother allace. It's quite possible you may not care much for the story but you are pretty t to like the Arizona scenery. Neighboring Theaters 3 Coming to the Howard STAGE 'CHAUVE-SOURIS" The Russian Players Garrick Theatre It was at the end of the first part of remarkable performance and before tremenduous applause had died way. Four individuals directly behind reeking with indications of newly quired wealth but whose* sentences eked of the Ghetto, gathered up their* bfes and went forth into the night ut- ring unconcealed indications of dis- -pointment. All of which serves those critics right ho insist on calling the "Chauve- uris," the Russian vaudeville. My eighboring seat holders had evidently pected to see the "Russian Sophie ucker" or "Moscow Jack Rose" and ere mentally unprepared for the eaty treat which was served. It is, however, difficult to exactly lassify the "Chauve-Souris." Enough say, perhaps, that it displays a series f stage pictures, beautiful if not costly, which the Russian talent sings beauti- ul songs and dances native steps. To ich should, of course, be added Nakita Iieff, the director, a fine natural omedian. To him falls the apparently leasant task of introducing each group his he does in the worst of broken English but with a mocking humor quite irresistable. There is wide variety to the things this group of Russians presents and most of their efforts are offered in the spirit of good fun. But the mixture is such as to satisfy the desires for fine music, unusual singing or spirited danc- ing. You can't help but thrill at the group singing* in "A Night at Yards" or in the "Song of the Volga Boatman." And Balieff had his troubles in satisfy- ing the audience with enough of the muchly advertised "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." Here, indeed, is unique and refresh- ing entertainment with lack of pretense and no straining for applause. You find yourself immensely pleased with the proceedings and inclined to want to per- sonally thank Mr. Morris Gest for mak- ing it possible for you to see something so different. HER LITTLE JOKE Here is an original joke that was tched at the Warner Brothers Studio at the West Coast. Mae Marsh was just wiping the grease paint off her cheeks at the end of a hectic day on location for "Dad- dies." 'What's that fellow over there do- ing?" asked Willard Louis. He indi- cated a new extra over at the other side of the big stage who was standing alone and working his hands grotesquely. "Oh, that's just the deaf mute talk- ing to himself," answered Miss Marsh, as she squeezed her blond head into ne of the newest helmets. NEW EVANSTON William S. Hart's latest production, "Wild Bill Hickok," is thrilling New Evanston audiences this week. The picture has been termed by many critics as Mr..Hart's most superlative effort and is attracting popular favor on the north shore. Beginning Monday, January 14, the New Evanston presents "The Fight- ing Blade," in which Richard Bar- thelmess has the leading role. Those who recall Mr. Barthelmess in "Tol'- able David" and "Fury" are anxious to see this his latest production. Latest comedy features and unusual specialty events continue to be at- tractive numbers on the New Evans- ton program. HOWARD "East Side West Side," an adapta- tion of the Broadway stage success, will be viewed at the Howard theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Kenneth Harlan and Eileen Percy have the leading roles. It is a story of poverty and riches, de- picting the struggle of a poor girl and her great love for a scion of wealth, and bringing into play the inevitable complications and barriers encoun- tered in the endeavor to reconcile the two extremes of the social strata. "Modern Matrimony" is the How- ard offering for Sunday, January 13. Another of the Ralph Lewis pictures of home folks is released and will be seen at the Howard on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday of next week. The title is "The Mail Man" and promises many interesting, not to mention excit- ing incidents. "The Country Kid," Wesley Barry's latest production, will be the Howard picture for Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, January 17, 18 and 19. Future plays for the Howard in- clude "Eyes of the Forest," "Anna Christie," "Black Oxen," "Little Old New York," "This Freedom." ADELPHI Buster Keaton, in his first six-reel feature comedy entitled "Three Ages," will be seen at the Adelphi this week- end. Margaret Leahy and Wallace Beery are the principal actors in the large supporting cast. The three ages, as indicated in the title, include the stone age, the Roman age and the modern age. It is described as something new in comedies, affording Mr. Keaton an unusual opportunity to display his peculiar talents. "Rosita," Mary Pickford'* latest success, is billed for the Adelphi on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Jan- uary 13, 14 and 15. Holtarook Bllnn is the leading player opposite the brilliant Mary in a drama that has an interesting Spanish setting. "Gold Madness," will be shown at the Adelphi on January 16 and 17. On next Friday and Saturday the Adelphi offers Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., n his first starring vehicle, "Stephen Steps Out." Booked for the Adelphi in the near future are "Wild Bill Hickox," "The aam&m%™ Green Goddess," "Gentle Julia" and "The Country Kid." CAUSE FOR WONDERMENT The days of Beau Brummel were the days of exceedingly tight trousers for men. When John Barrymore was making the screen version of this fam- ous play at the Warner Brothers' west coast studio, he noticed a new extra watching him very closely. The said extra apparently was filled with awe. Happening later to be near this extra, Mr. Barrymore smiled and said, "I see you have been admiring my costume." "No," said the extra thoughtfully "I was wondering how you ever got into them trousers." ALL IN THE FAMILY Looks like a family affbir, this-- Warner Brothers have just produced "Lucretia Lombard" from Kathleen Norris' famous novel of loveless mar- riages. And only a short time ago they picturized "Brass," from the pen of Charles G. Norris, husband of Kath- leen. Monte Blue and Irene Rich star in both pictures. STATE BOOSTS MUSIC Kentucky now has a State director of music. The creation of this office by the state superintendent of public instruction is the result of the action of the 1922 legislature, which passed a bill giving music a place in the course of study for all Kentucky schools. Income Tax Facts Official Information, Bureau of Internal Revenue SCREEN'S FUNNY DOG Who is the funniest dog of the screen? Cameo. He's the little terrier who has saved many a situation in pictures and who knows how to get a laugh out of the audience. His latest appearance is in "Conductor 1492," Johny Hines' lat- est vehicle, a Warner Brothers Classic. If you are single and support in your home one or more relatives over whom you exercise family control, you are the head of a family and en- titled, in your income-tax return for the year 1923, to the same exemp- tions granted a married person. These are $2,500 if the net income was $5,000 or less and $2,000 if the net income was more than $5,000. In addition the head of a family may claim a $400 credit for each person dependent up- on him for chief support if such per- son is under 18 years age or incap- able of self-support because mentally or physically defective. For example, a son supports in his home an aged mother and two sisters 14 and 16 years of age. His set in- come for 1923 was $3,000. He is en- titled to an exemption of $2,500 plus a $400 credit for each dependent, a total of $3,700. While he pays no tax, he must file a return, because his net income was in excess of $1,000. An exemption as the head of a fam- ily can be claimed by only one mem- ber of a household.
