Just how it will fare on Broadway is a matter of conjecture; here it is meet- ing with much success and proving a great little "laugh getter." The play is an attempt at presenting the well known characters of small town life in a manner differing from previous efforts in that direction. In 'this, the author, Barry Connors, has achieved considerable success. There is much that reminds one of previous plays and this with particular reference to the "Show- Off" now current in New York. But there is a different "something" about it that is quite satisfying to the average play-goer. "Applesauce," it seems, is analgous to flattery, blarney, hot air and other terms which have had their innings. Bill Mec- Allister is the town's leading '"'apple- sauce" expert. He lives on the theory that a liberal use of it makes other peo- ple happy and that there is more satis- faction in that than in striving to make money. Consequently he is a happy-go- lucky sort of individual who hates work and loves "applesauce." Allan Dinehart, who plays the part of Bill, makes him a genial, college bred no account who uses his glib tongue with good effect and manages to get along someway. He is the luckless aspirant for the hand of the village belle. She, it seems, has engaged herself to the sub- stantial and practical "catch" because he happened to ask her first. But Bill, through three funny acts, "applesauces" his way along to win the girl, the good wishes of her parents and the blessing of his rich uncle. Unlike many previ- ous plays this one has a third act that rings true. Bill does not fall heir to a fortune or mend his ways. He is still the applesauce king as the curtain falls. He transgresses playwriting rules. He fails to reform and the play is better for it. Claiborne Foster, here not so long ago with Mr. Dinehart in "Two Fellows and a Girl," is the village belle. She has taken Full account of the type of girl she is called upon to play. Impetuous, fervid, sensible or blindly faithful as the moment requires, she gives a splendid performance. Jessie Crommette is the plodding mother, and is capital. If you haven't lived too close to the bright lights all your life, she will bring back memories and a realism that rings true. The rest of the cast, with one exception, is satisfactory. "Applesauce" presents an evening of riotous fun and is wholesome and hu- man. There is much dialogue concern- ing men, marriage and money all of which is filled with many comic phrases and easily assimilated satire. SCREEN "CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS" Paramount Production McVickers Theatre The picture is based on Walter Woods and Anthony Coldewey's adap- tion of the magazine story, "Mother O'Day," by Leroy Scott. It was di- rected by James Cruze. The story is not as new as some others you have seen but they put some real people in it and, aided by excellent direction, makes an interest- ing picture. Mother O'Day is left a widow with a saloon and a little daughter on her hands. The business is profitable and she has some con- siderable money in the bank but the environment in which the daughter is being raised is far from what it should be. Yielding to the advice of others she gives up the daughter and twenty thousand a year that the little prohibition, the mother becomes own- er of a swell gambling house fre- quented by the so-called "upper crust." Here, innocently, comes the daughter and her fiance. The best 'action "starts "here and "leads Upto a successful conclusion. Louise Dresser plays O'Day" and makes a real out of it. She seems to exact lengths to which she in order that the part be not over- done. Assisting liberally are such good actors and actresses as Ricardo Cortez, Kathlyn Williams and Vir- ginia Lee Corbin. The latter, grad- uating from the roles of little girls makes a sweet and fetching young lady. To top the picture off, McVickers put on a "jazz" week which was com- posed of numbers of that nature and some that more nearly approached the classical. It proved to be a pop- ular feature with Charley Straight and his orchestra taking top honors.

That fam- ous line will have a real touch Sunday, October 12, when the Howard theatre will show as its feature picture, "One Night in Rome." Since the return to the screen of Rudolph Valentino, the talk of movie fans has been mainly on the showing of "Monsieur Beaucaire," which comes to the Howard Monday and Tuesday. In this picture Valentino upholds his position as the screen's greatest lover. Dealing with the court of King Louis XV (Lowell Sherman), there is op- portunity to show the flair of the royalty of that day which seems to have been full of romance and chivalry. "In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter," Samuel Goldwyn's pro- duction which will be the feature at- traction at the Howard Wednesday and Thursday, differs from the usual run of pictures in that it does not have the hero and heroine embrace in the final fadeout. Instead, the last scene shows the famous cloak and suit partners in a heated argu- ment. This gives a strong comedy twist to the finale. Rin-tin-tin, the famous police dog, takes a number of good turns in "Find Your Man," which will be shown at the Howard Friday and Sat- urday. June Marlowe, whom beauty experts have judged the prettiest girl in pictures, is in the cast. EVANSTON Vera Reynolds, the Cecil B. DeMille find, who plays the leading role in "Feet of Clay," which comes to the New Evanston theatre Monday, Oc- tober 13, became a star over night. Little Vera got her chance as a girl dancer with Wallace Reid and Cleo Ridgley in an early picture. Then the twelve year old, chubby, comical, disobeyed a father's mandates and unbeknownst to him played on comedy lots for several years until his con- sent to leave high school was finally gained.

"They tell me I have a wonderful chance," said the new "comet," at her home which is a block from a to marriage and She was considered a tomboy in her childhood days and she thinks that she got "the opportunity because people all around the country liked my personality and I've got to stay just as natural as I have been in the up. past--or pouf!--I'll be blown right back where I came from." Featured with Miss Reynolds in "Feet of Clay" are. Rod La Roque, Victor Varconi, Ricardo Cortez, Julia Faye, Theodore Kosloff- and Robert Edeson. ADELPHI "You can't hurt your wife and hold her too. A woman may be facinated by a brute, but she can never respect him, and without respect love can- not last. This is the general theme of the picture which is different, "Open All Night," to be shown. at the Adelphi theatre, Sunday, October 12, with Viola Dana and Adolphe Menjou in the main roles. It is not infrequent that a woman must give up the man she loves to another woman. But how different it all is when that woman is her own daughter. Ernest Lubitch has created this unusual situation in "Three Women," which is billed for the Adel- phi for Monday and Tuesday. May McAvoy as the wife of fickle hus- band, (Lew Cody), plays her part with charming sincerity. While Paul- ine Frederick as the mother and former sweetheart of her daughter's husband has some strong emotional scenes. Mary Prevost figures as a third sweetheart to this man for women. Jack Holt has become one of the most popular of moving picture idols and continues to hold that place with the parts in his recent pictures of which "Empty Hands" will be shown at the Adelphi Wednesday and Thurs- day. "Foolish Virgins" as a title seems to favor the flapper, but only by seeing Flaine Hammerstien in this film which comes to the Adelphi Friday and Sat- urday, can one judge safely. HOYBURN The divorce question is one of the most important problems of the pres- ent day.
