MUNDAY, vit, 12, 191. ee ------------ Theatrical To-night, 'Mutt and Jeff." In their latest escapade, "Mutt and Jeff in Chinatown," which is at the Qrand to-night, with these amusing and wonderfully entertaining comics of Bud Fisher, have undoubtedly the best roles of their highly-successful apd side-splitting yet checkered ca- reer. They figure in an entirely new environment, involving new adven tures and paving the way for laughs and hilarity without stint, Jeff as usual is the "goat." But with that acumen, respurcemulness and ready wit, which has stood his good stead throughout all hfs trials and tribula- tions in the past, the little fellow in the end comes out ahead, unscathed | and unharmed." Just how all this is accomplished would be rdvealing « wholesome secret. So we shall leave it to the great army of Mutt and Jeff admirers to ascertain for them- "selves. Plenty of jingling music, gorgeous gowns, song hits, pretty wo- men and youth form an important part of a splendid production,-- Advt, The Wonderful Thing." Norma Talmadge's latest produc tion, "The Wonderful Thing," the feature attraction at the Allen to- day, Tuesday and Wednesday, is from the stage success of the same name by Lillian Trimble Bradley and Forrest Halsey, and begins in the aristocratic circles of England and ends on a hog ranch in lowa--actu ally the Bradley-Harbold ranch, the producer of porkers in the | gountry. The role of Catherine Man- Berby Truesdale, leader of the op- position against the admission of the | daughter of the American Hog King into the socially prominent Manner- by family is played by Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, one of the younger of the rank- ing society matrons of New York, Newport and Washington. "The Wonderful Thing" was adapted for the screen version by Herbert Bre- non and Clara Beranger, and the pro- duction itself is another in the series ol those starring Miss Norma Tal- madge and directed by Mr. Brenon, a combination which has resulted in Some of the best pictures yet made by this popular star. Miss Talmadge portrays the role of Jacqueline Boggs, the French-convent-efflucated daughter of the American Hog King. "The Wonderful Thing". comes into her life when she meets Donald Man- nerby, the eldest son of an impover- ished aristocratic English family, who Is an incorrigible flirt. His love- making, done without any serious«in- tent, arouses real love on her part, Harrison Ford plays the role of Don- ald, dnd in addition to Miss Tal- madge and Mrs. Hoyt, others in the cast are: Howard Truesdale, Rob- @rt Agnew, Ethel Fleming, Mabe! Bert; Fanny Burke, Walter McEwen and Charles Craig--aAdvs, At The Strand. Well acted, well directed and with a particularly apropos theme, "Weaith," Ethel Clayton's new Para- mount starring vehicle, opens today @t the Strand. Herbert Rawlinson is Been as a wealthy idler who' has ' Erown %o parasitically dependent on his mother's money. When Mary McLeod marries him, a crisis is reached, for the young artist finds the dife ~t the idle nich decidedly coin- trary to her trating. Miss Clayton shows in the offering a grasp of her wolé"s requirements that is hirtla short of genius. Mr. Rawlin- Son is artistic in his part of Phillip Dominick. The other parts are cast with' the care characteristic in a William D. Taylor production. In- cluded are J. M. Dumont, George Periolat, Claire McDowell, Jean Ack- er, Richard Wayne, and other noted players. © The picture is based on Cosmo Hamilton's story, "The Al- mighty Dollar." / That: prince among comedians, Harold Lloyd, heads the comedy part of the Strand programme in "I Do." --Advt, At Griffin's Tonight.
