True to his usual procedure, he has made this a topical affair in which he deals with the wealthy father who doesn't quite understand his mother-less son. He has put much careful think- ing into his writing, has filled it with keen lines and amusing situations and delivers a pleasant, modern entertain- ment that should find a large measure of support from the average sophisti- cated play-goer. Four characters are prominent in the proceedings. Father, who has been making money that his son may have the many things he never enjoyed as a boy; son, who feels that he would be much happier if father would make less money and pay more attention to him; Georgia, the little flapper next door who has adored son since he was a little kid, and the parlor maid, who musses things up terribly with the standard blackmail scheme. : To go into minute details of the plot would only help to spoil the enjoyment you will experience in seeing the play. Enough therefore to say that Georgia, in her own way, manages to bring or- der and contentment out of a compli- cated situation. And to add, perhaps, that there will be times, as you view it. when you won't be just sure whether to root for father or son. Although you will be constantly rooting for Georgia. As played by Miss Helen Hayes, she is about the last word in plausible, straightforward and slangy flappers. Many have tried this type of part, none have surpassed Miss Hayes in interpretation so far as my memory serves me. She is only a mite of a girl but she carries a terrific wallop. Her love scene with the son is almost a classic and her scene with the parlor maid a close second. Mr. Edmund Breese, a real actor of many parts, is capital as the father even in the emotional moments that fathers always have on the stage. Miss Gilda Leary handles the parlor maid catisfactorily and Eric Dressler is cle- ver as the son. "Young Blood" should a'tract many people to the Princess, norticularly those who are interested in the modern slant on youth. THE NEW EVANSTON Called the screen classic of the vear, "The Phantom of the Opera." with Ton Chanev and Mary Phil- bin, will come to the New FEvans- ton next Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday. This is an enormous produc- tion, with a cast of 5000 and some of the most elaborate settings ever filmed. The picture is taken from the world famous novel hv Gaston Leroux and is directed by Rupert Julian. This is its first run on the north shore. VILLAGE THEATRE. The famous old Drury Lane melo- drama "Sporting Life," with Bert Lvtell taking the leading role in the picturized version, will be shown at the Village theatre next Monday and Tuwesday, February 8 and 9. In ad- dition there will be a Harry Langdon comedy, "Feet of Mud" and a Pathe news reel. On Wednesday and Thursday, Feb- roary 10 and 11, the feature will be "The Home k Maker," by Dorothy Canfield. Alice Joyce and Clive Brook play opposite each other in this stir- ring drama of domestic life. Thera will also be a Van Bibber comedy, "The Feud," and a Pathe review. Betty Bronson will be seen Friday and Saturday, February 12 and 13, in to a who unhesitatingly selected the now world-famous Betty for the leading part in the picturization of his notable stage success, "A Kiss for Cinderella." There will be a special matinee at 3 o'clock on Friday, February 12, Lincoln's birthday. At the matinee and again at the evening performance a special film entitled "The Life of Abraham Lincoln" will be shown and the bill will be completed by an Edu- cational comedy and a Pathe news reel. Two great pictures, "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Iron Horse," are coming soon, it was an- nounced. HOYBURN THEATRE Milton Sills and Doris Kenyon in "The Unguarded Hour" will be the feature attraction at the Hoyburn theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This picture gives Sills a slightly different part than he usually takes. Instead of being the great, rough man of the open spaces he is a young Italian nobleman, who hates women and is keenly interested in radio, with which he is experimenting. Miss Kenyon, taking the part of a young American girl, who amazes and annoys him, and finally wins his love, does some of the most effective work of her career. The whole picture is full of thrills and laughs. To complete the bill there will be a Fox comedy, "For Sadie's Sake" and a news reel. HOWARD THEATRE Three screen favorites will be seen at the Howard theatre next week. They are Mary Pickford, Blanche Sweet and Dorothy Mackaille. The latter appears in her latest production, "Joanna," on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Since her work with Richard Barthelmess in "Shore Leave," Miss Mackaille has become increas- ingly popular with movie fans, and ?
