THERE ON STAGE ·AND I By Tlus~ SCREEN THE SIDE SHOW OF LIFE Paramount Production Chicago Theatre Taken from the story by William J. Locke known as the "Mountebank," this picture is i!lter<:stin~ and quite worth a vis it. Certamly 1t, gtves Ernest Torrence and Anna Q. Nilsson a chance to display some of the best work they have ever done. The tale is devote<t to 't he trials and tribulations of a vaudeville clown who enters the war and by force of sheer merit becomes a brigadier general. But the war ended, there seems naught he can do except return to his former clowning. This, in spite of the fact that he has become extremely friendly with Lady Dayne and others of her circle. He tries his best to succeed but his cunning has disappeared. His partner has a stirring scene in which she berates an unresponsive audience for their actions, but as a clown he is through. Of course Lady Dayne appears on the ~cene at the right moment otherwise it wouldn't end just right . As it happens things do end satisfactorily for those who must have a happy conclusion. The impersonation given by Mr. Torrence is one of his best. You would never imagine him a great lover but there is a certain sincerity to :tis acting that is quite appealing. His role is far different from anything he has attempted in recent times but he is the real hit of the picture without doubt. Mis:J Nilssoc makes a charming Lady Dayne and Louise LaGrange, as the clown's vaudeville· partner, is splendid, particularly in the fits of temper she is called upon to show. There are spots in the picture that make you feel that the story is rather far fetched but they make up for it by giving some stirring moments and something different from the things you have seen recently.

James Cruze directed the picture and had the good judgment to engage Glenn Hunter for the title role. Without him it might not be nearly as good as it is. In addition he made his other characters act like human beings with the result that it all seems most real. The story is too familiar to detail here. In general, it will be remembered as the tale of the clerk in the small country store who felt the call to the movies and finally realized his great ambition after many sundry experiences in Hollywood. It is full of laughs, a few tears and some clever acting. Glenn Hunter makes a most intelligent star. He is wistful, in fact, at times pathetic, but he is a real artist and knows exactly what he is about from the time he appears to the end of the picture. It has been a long time since I have seen an actor on the screen who was more enjoyable. Viola Dana is the comedienne who helps put Glenn through the ropes at the studio and Charles Ogle takes the part of her father \n a very capable manner. Another clever bit of work is contributed by Dewitt Jennings.

VAUDEVILLE There was plenty of variety for vaudeville patrons at the Majestic theatre ~,his .~eek. ~ob Fitzgibbon, the veteran nut comed1an who seems to say and do less each time he comes, was one of the headliners and they seemed to like him, particu arty those who hadn't seen him "steen" times before. Sharing the top honors with him was Maurice and Mae Humphrey, a pair of dancers assisted by their own jazz band and a good band it was. A group of three women and two men known as the Salon Singers exhibited some excellent voices as individuals and sang some of the favorite old tunes with considerable success.
