THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N." C.', - - FRIDAY, TAPRIL . 15, 1921;. ; . f EIGHf 1 . i v, At t he Th eaters Academy : Bijou : Victoria : Royal : Granc ROYAL c , A- crashing, smashing: hit, is "So Long Letty,-' the Robertson-Cole ,bu-c: per-special which topped the bill at the Royal theater last night. For ex cellence of cast, fine settings and really humorous comedy situations.. this photo-play is one of the, best of the season's offerings. Al Christie, the famous comedy-drama producer, is re sponsible for the screen adaptation of '"So Long Letty." The results of his efforts place the film version above the Oliver Morosco stage production which made such a wonderful hit from coast to coast. While the story of "Letty" carries vehicle, and a worthy successor to the star's two preceding " releases, "Forty-Five Minutes : From Broadway" and ' "Peaceful Valley," which have achieved the distinction of "being fore most among the season's most success ful photo-plays. " Opposite Charles Ray in the leading feminine part is , pretty "little Clara Horton, who In the role of Phyllis gives , a delightful characterization. Lincoln Stedman, the jovial fat boy of the films, has the role of Jiiymy Long, Andrew's rival In love. The balance of . the cast is made up of George Nichols, Cora Drew, Frank Norcross and DeWltte C. Jennings, who con- 5Cj - - - ' ! ii one's heart and in the years to come; when old plays are discussed his mem ory (will be green. On the stage Majj made an instanta neous hit wherever "Kismet" was played; the screen version will do that and more, for, on the screen ,HaJj has an opportunity far beyond the lim itations of the speaking stage, . and Skinner's interpretation of this role in the screen version will stand for a long time to come as the finest study in character work that the moving picture cameras ever recorded. MRS. CATT IS ELOQUENT IN I PLEA TO END. WORLD WAR , CLEVELAND, April 14 Mrs. Car rie Chapman Catt, scheduled to speak at the mass meeting of the, national league of women voters convention, threw , her "set" speech away and begged the women voters to end all war. For 15 minutes Mrs. Catt held her audience spellbound by the intensity of her appeal to end all wars. "The ' people in this room tonight could put an end ' to war," she said. "There isn't an audience in; the world that woa't applaud him who . talks of world peace. Everybody wants it, and everyone does nothing. I'l am for a league of nations; a Re publican league, or any 'kind," she continued. "The Republicans are in. I believe it the duty of every one who j wants the world to disarm to compel action at Washington." A thousand women closely followed ! every wora 01 tne wnite naired woman who had ied the winning fight for ti-.eir national rights and now was leading them in an International Quest. wnen Mrs. Catt sat down there was a dead silence for a few seconds, fol lowed by wave on wave ol applause. Some women were crying, some prfrtly hysterical. AMERICAN WOMAN SWINDLED ' 1 t: BY PAKE SERBIAN OFFICIAL tiqSTANTlNOPLE. April 1. Swind ling travelers in connection with pass port vises has become one of the favor ite meaAs of livelihood of - minor offi cials in the Orient and Balkan coun tries. Mrs. J. H. K.
