At the Local The a t e r s
:ae Greenwich Village Follies.
the Greenwich Village Follies, that
radiant spectacle built about the radi
cal fancies at the fantastic folk of
Oreenwlch Village, the famous- Latin
Quarter of New York will be seen at
til. -Grand theater tor an engagement
it one performance Wednesday De
tenser 7 , ., . .. -..'
The Follies la without doubt the
most artlstlo " and colorful revue that
w 111 be. seen here. None ot Its pre
ilectoaora tan approach It In novelty ot
scenlo inveatiture, in bizarre costum-
ing, In beauty of lighting and staging.
Again none of them can equal it In
the striking beauty and shapeliness ot
their feminine contingent!. The . 20
famous artists' models, the group
: which lllamtnatee the ensembles-in the
Fellies, have a, distinctive quality of
pulchritude that sets thera on a pedes
tal we(l above and beyond their con
temporaries. - - -- I
The Follies revolves about no one
star. It numbers among its players
at least a dosen artists any one of
whom might be elevated to stardom in
an ordinary . musical concoction.
Highlights of the Follies are the Ini
mitable singing and dancing comedians
the flicker Brothers, the broad tra
vesty ot Billy Baan, the "petticoat
parodist,'. Marine Gehrue-Queen of
Greenwich Village, the Impish maneu-
vers of Judy Carson, the exotic dances
ni "Japonette," the singing of Alice
Humphries, Robert Dilts, the rippling
salvos of Jan produced by the Mo
Dougal Alley Byncopators, and the
singing of the Bohemian quartette.
The artistic high spots are the ex
quisite "Cameo" and the colorful
"Javanese" numbers, the first a elm
pie picture in sheer satiny white, and
the last a resplendent tableaux bias
ing with vivid fabrics and gorgeous
hues. Seats go on sale tomorrow at
10 a. m. at the box office. Phone 8S1.
"RnaH aad Jaliet Cassia Ta Graad.
The scenic effects employed by Frits
Leiber, . America's distinguished
Shakespearean, who appears next
Tuesday night at the Grand theater,
in "Romeo and Juliet" are described
as novel and picturesque, all colored
with a mode of Illumination that is
distinctly beautiful.
Many Innovations in lighting are
used which tend to heighten the
Imagery of these Immortal dramas.
Mr. Leiber, who holds that the suc
cessful production of the drama de
pends almost entirely upon proper
illumination, has devoted considerable
time to the development of many new
and original features which will en
hance the beauty and effect of his
productions.
His method Is wholly new. Though
It has less of mechanics and more of
the qualities than the others, provi
sion la made through which watts be
tween scenes can be reduced to a
minimum. This ' Is accomplished
through the use of a more perfect
mechanical stage arrangement and
scene construction, the result of
which Is a complete Illusion of reality,
without the ponderous, time-taking
methods too often submerging the
production of the Shakespearean play.
Seats go on sale this morning at :90
at the box office.
Great Cast la Coafllt."
Prltcllla Dean, the popular star of
"Outside the Law" and "Reputation,"
will be seen at the National theater
In her newest and greatest picture,
"Conflict," produced under Stuart
Paten. It "comes to the screen with
one of ,the strongest oasts ever as
sembled to support a popular star.
It was only after considerable diffi
culty that Herbert Rawllnson was ob
tained to play the principal role op
posite the star. Straight from his suo
oess In "The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse," Edward Connelly was
chosen for the leading character role
the Interpretation of the subtle "John
Remalle" ot the story. Martha Mattox
was engaged to portray the part of
Hiss Labo, the grim and silent house
keeper, and Stuart Faton considers her
work one .of the most distinctive char
acterisations ever screened.
In addition to these well known play
ers are to be seen Hector Sarno, L. C.
Sbumway, Sam Allen and Capt. C E.
Anderson, all with a large screen fol
lowing, and each admirably suited to
the Individual roles.
The National theater orchestra will
present as a special feature an over
ture from II Trovatore. Added attrac
tions oa the bill Include a Clyde Cook
comedy, "The Chauffeur"; a National
Theater News; and the Melody Duo in
complete change of program.
Plctare stars Hera taj Pereea Tonight.
The piece de resistance and a very
choice one at that booked for the Na
tion theater tonight is ths appearance
in period of Mary Carr and Shirley
Mason, two noted stars ot the Fox Film
corporation. Added to an already flno
program, the attraction Is one that
promises to fill the National Jo capa
city. 'M
' The personal appearance of Hiss Carr
Is particularly timely, too, from the
standpoint of the public's Interest, since
she Is to be seen here for a limited en
gagement next week, beginning Mon
day, in the title role, "Mother," of
"Over the Hill." It Is the picture that
established the reoord of a solid year's
run In six different theaters ot New
York and Is acclaimed by critics one
of the wonder picture of all times.
In speaking ot this production yes
terday to a representative ot the Dally
News, Manager Cunningham of the
National aald:
"I want to personally guarantee to
the theater-going public of Greens
boro and vicinity that "Over the Hill"
is the greatest heart Interest- story
ever screened, and the work oft Mary
Carr will go down In history as the
greatest mother role ever enacted."
-William Rnssell At His.
- The management of the ills offers
the patrons of this popular theater to
day and Saturday on of the best bills
of the season In Wm. Russell, In "High
Gear Jeffery," a story of a motor car
romance at the highest speed the law
permits played with all of Russell's
pep and sent with a cast which Includes
Francis Billings. There Is much speed,
comedy and suspense In this great
drama of the "western hills. The extra
added attraction for today and Friday
is Art Acord In "Winners of the west.
Convention has been spared In this
picture, at least we have something
to be thankful for. And the censors
won't have to , complain of overwork

whenaher look this feature over. There
are many sensational inoldents. But It
would be just as ridiculous to suppose
tnat Indian flshta haven't a plaoe In
the, American history as to assume that
Oirty. are harmful to the Juvenile mind
by throwing- the same incidents on
the screen. The serial has a treat his
toric value, but while . It Is funda
mentally accurate as a whole, don't
gei tne idea that "Winners of the

ment. 'It's replete with romance and
ilrAia that give It an appeal to the
olr mind as well as to the entire

In addition Mr. Hart has many oth
er notable players, Including Lloyd
Bacon, Leo Plerson, Bert Bprotte and
Charles Arllng. The atory of "Wagon

In the fifties, and dealing with those
hardy pioneers who braved the un
known terrors of the desert to reeh
the golden went, via the old Nanta Pa
trull. Air. Hart plays the part of a
