Charlotte Granville, who plays the
snobbish lady in “Outward Bound,"
at the Ritz theatre, has one off-stage
pastime. She cares nothing for the
tallvex'sions that interest most play-
’ crs in their spare time. But as soon
as the trout begin to run she begins
to spend her Sundays in the coun-

T. Wigncy Percyvai, who is now
playing in "The Outsider" at the
Ambassador theatre, is cast as one
of the surgeons of the London so-
ciety. who are so adamant in refus-
ing to admit the unqualified practi-
tioner into their midst. But Mr.
Percyvule, though he plays the doc-
tor admirably, is really a. playwright
with a. good many successes to his
credit. \Vith Horace Hodges, he is
the author of the internationally

about it. Each one of the live acts
and the splendid feature picture
production which Manager David
l-Isterson selected for ‘thls program
the top-notch in every particular.
Naomi and her boys, the headline
act of the show, proved a. worthy
choice. The entertainment offering
of this aggregation of specialists
was far from any common bill of
vaudeville. Artistic in its effects
and with marked cleverness, the
company gave a program that was
at once an outstanding feature of
the show. McCarty and Stcnard
and Gene Morgan were other hits
of the new Keith bill of five acts.

theatre today with Trhby Clark
and other stars in a. new special
release, “Just on: Broadway." Gil-

introduction but it should be said
that he has never made a picture
which in any particular surpasses
the release in which he stars at
