stand why this photoplay is awaited
with such keen interest. Aside from
the tremendous personal popularl-
iy of Valentino to whom millions
pay tribute. as the greatest lover of
the silver sheet. film fans who have
to“ Booth Tarkington's immortal
“pry, with its romantic. colorful
and spectncular background of the
court of King Louiv XV of France.
recognize its remarkable pictorial
possibilities. It, is a. story that
thrills the imagination. kindies the
emotions, and satisfies the desire for
love. beauty. laughter and truth.
Valentino portrays the brave-
hearted. impctuous duke, who defies
the King of France. There is
something more vital and appealing
about the character. and the star
rises to great dramatic heights. Sup-
porting him arc three of the best
known beauties of the screen—Bebe

The Greenwich Village Follies came

the latest. aspirant for such honors.
Basset-d Short's Ritz Revue. Se-
sides these two important musical
events. Broadway laughed at “Izzy"
applauded “High Stakes" and “Thor

two open companies and otherwise
manifested pleasure at the rapid
rise of new production. which this
week will again reach a high peak in
numbers. '

vastly improved since last seen here.
Vincent Lopez plays with his cele-
brated orchestra which has been
heard by so many radio fans all over
the country, and Roshanara gave a
creative dance. Ludmilis. danced
beautifully and gracefully. particuo
larly’ in an exquisitive setting to
Oscar Wilde‘s "The Happy Prince".
which John Murray Anderson. who
really supervised the entire produc-
tion. arranged. Moran and Mack. ne-
gro comedians were as excruciating
funny as when in vaudeville. and a
score of skits amused, many beauti-
ful dancing and singing girls in-
trigued. and the costuming. settings
and generally intelligent arrange-
ment without lessening the popular-
ity of the event made the new uii-
tion vastly welcome. it is. of course.
an annual event. and it is rather
difficult for it. to grow in beauty
hinco it started so high. but it. may
safely be asserted for the benefit of
those who visit New York and en-
joy its plays. that they will in no
sense be disapointed in the new \cr-
sion at the Shubert. Theatre.
The Hassard Short revue. .Veiept

as the newest permanent rcVue. and

and ear. and several of the offerings
are particularly 'clever. such. for in-

ladies of the stage. characters -§ll(‘h
as Salome. Cleopatra. Lady Mac-
beth, Zara. and others. This is orig~
inal. clever and excellently present-
ed. In fact with ample material in
every branch of production. there is
an appreciable degree of intelligence
~—-and considerable naughtiness~in
the presentation. It ranks high as
entertainment, and like all other suc
cessfuii revues on Broadway is lav-
ishly dressed and staged.
A new star broke into the firarna-

Broadhurst and Mrs. 'l‘rimble llrsd—

match play beginning tomorrow.
THE “LORD “JOVIAL”
‘The word "jovial" conceals the
name of Jupiter. or Jove. according
to tho Washington Post. A "jovial'fi
person is theoretically. at. least. a"
person born under the influence of
the planet. Jupiter. or Jove. The
planet. was supposed to be the most
joyful of all the planets to be born
under. just. as Saturn is the least joy-
ful. Gradually the word "jovial" be-
came disociated from the astrologi-
cal significance. and was generally
applied to persons who int-“ted the
quality of joyfuiness amibed to
birth under a joyful planet. Thus
many a word in the English lan-
guage in common use. traces its ori-
gin to mystic beginnings and beliefs
in the darkness of the past. age.
