Weekly Book Review When Lucien Slipped Wedding Ring on Elsie It Was for Keeps
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. OME women believe that Swhen a man slips a wedding ring on a girl's finger the ring should stay there for keeps. When Lucien Curtis slipped a wed ding ring on the finger of Elsie he discovered, years afterward, that he couldn't remove the ring so he could give it to another. You will meet Lucien and Elsie in "Don Juan,” a novel by Ludwing Lewisohn, who wrote “Up Stream ' Received my copy of "Don Juan ’ for review from the publisher, Boni and Liveright. New York. Elsie might be termed old sash ioned when she refused to remove her wedding ring so that Lucien could marry a young girl whom he thought was his soul mate. Even when Lucien became a regular Don Juan by having so many ‘affairs" with women, Elsie refused to remove her wedding ring So Lucien remained chained co Elsie. Elsie didn't have a pleasant or sweet time keeping her wedding ring on her finger. The truth is she made Lucien s life anything but a Paradise on -earth. Os course, the mere man was not to blame. Certainly not. (?) There is much talk on the soHEAL SKIN DISEASES Ipply Zemo, Clean, Penetrating Antiseptic Liquid It is unnecessary for yon to suffer with Eczema. Blotches.

THE WAR MADE HIM FAT. SO JOHN W. CALHOUN OF TOR ONTO, ONT-, THINKS HE IS ENTITLED TO MORE PENSION A WOUND IN THE HEAD RECEIV ED WHILE SERVING OVERSEAS WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES. HAS CAUSED HIS WEIGHT TO JUMP FROM 192 TO 440 POUNDS. JOHN SAYS
called "freedom of the soul” in this novel. It sounds like highbrow Greenwich Village chatter, a sort of a snayyp burlesque on marriage and divorce. v Considered as Satire I may be all wrong in this, but when I consider "Don Juan” as j snappy satire instead of a problem ! novel I get more fun out of it. Asa problem. “Don Juan" does not coni vince me. Even after the wedding ring has j been on the finger of Elsie for a i number of years, Lucien discovers that Elsie was not turning out to be the sort of a wife he wanted, i Elsie was just being Elsie. And ! being Elsie, Lucien objected. Lucien explains his position as follows: “• * • Marriage isn’t an inoculation that prevents a mans or a woman’s heart from wandering, and it isn't like a loathsome disease that presents another heart from going out to you. My God. it seems silly to have to say things like that.” i He was talking to Elsie then when ‘ she had refused again to slip off her wedding ring so that Lucien’s "soul” ■ would be free to romp with Helga. And before Elsie got through with j Lucien she made a “slack*' out of | him. And slaves, you know, always j run away. The Reason Why Lewisohn makes it clear that Elpie refused to surrender her wedding ring because she ‘ “loved” Lucien. Lucien at one time loved Elsie but he had placed his love in the matrimonial ice box. He blamed Elsie, j Elsie blamed Lucien. And that's, i that. At times you get the impression | that the author is bold. That he honestly tackles of the problems 1 which result in divorce. Even when Elsie had the proof of | Lucien's toward her in his relation to other women, she rei fused to divorce him. “You start out with the assumption, Elsie, that love is evil, that physical love Is a dirty thing, that it | must be excused and purified by law and permanence,” Lucien tells Elsie. Lucian could always defend his j conduct toward other women ant Elsie on such occasions branded him as an animal. Lewisohn gives you the problem, bu the fails in suggesting a remedy. Your own viewpoint on divorce will determine to a large extent j your opinion of “Don Juan.” PHILADELPHIAN TOIPEAK Credit Men Will Hear Talk on Rep ara turns Question. J.

Suppose a Prince Was in Your Garden; A Plot Centers Around Marys Ankle
By WALTER D. HICKMAN J*— lUST suppose that the Prince of Wales should land in your __J garden. And just suppose that it is a moonlight night anti that you are a lovely daughter or the father of such a daughter. Suppose, just suppose, what would happen. And while you suppose, A. E. £homas has beaten you to it and has written a sweet liyie honey suckle of a nothing called, “Just Suppose.” As revealed at the Murat last night, the first time here, it seemed to me that it was one of those sweet little things of the theater that fills you full of sugar .and moonlight, making you leave the theater all romantic and that sort of thing. "Just Suppose” gets over the footlights but I believe the cast had more to do with it then the playwright. It tells the story in three acts of the Prince of Wales bolting a diplomatic reception in Washington, D. C., and accidentally meeting a pretty Virginia girl. The Prince fails head and shoulders in love with her. Just as you supposed. The girl was a real, American and woudn't marry him because it was the sporti ing and patriotic thing for him to do to wait and marry a Princess or somebody of that type. This play will interest the women. I imagine that if I were married and took my wife to the Murat this week that she would cook me pancakes for breakfast every morning while the spell lasted. Not that she thought me a prince. O, mercy, no; but that George Gaul plays the role of the Prince, all romantic, lovin’ like. And when the stage manager turns on a full romantic moon >n George Gaul and Marjorie Vonnegut. Well, the effect is romantic. Pancakes and romance may not go hand in hand, but there is a connection "Just Suppose” is a matinee idol play. And lam sure that this little play will draw more people to the Murat this week than "The Copperhead” did. Gaul in a lover role. That is the secret. Miss Vonnegut created quite a stir when she first appeared wearing a “new haircut.” I know that Isn't what vou call it when a. girl gets a bob. hut nevertheless we understand each other. She is very sweet and ! yet convincing in this little love part Gaul, of course, gets over in fine ! shape. He has romance aboul him 1 and that is what sells over the foot j lights. But—as usual, lam keeping something hack—the real hit of "Just Suppose” is Jessamine New combe as the dearest old grand- j mother yoib have ever see),. She looks like she just stepped from th*story books. She is an inspiration. Glorious. Sweet and beautiful. Haloid Vermllye is quite a chappie this week. See him. Cast as follows: Kingsley Stafford Richard Thornton Hannibal Donald Campbell Mrs Carter Stafford Jessamine Newoombe Montgomery Warren Claude Kimball I.inda t.ee Stafford Marjorie Vonnegut Hon. Sir Calverton Shipley Harold Vermllye George George Gaul The Marquis of Karnahy Duncan Penwarden -I -I- -I’ A FEW WORDS ABOUT A FARCE, “MARY’S ANKLE” "Mary's Ankle” belongs to the warm weather. Asa play it Is a light nothing, hut as a hot weather attraction in the legitimate theater it has some advantages. The title is a teaser. It sounds like it might he “naughty." but it isn’t. Jean Oliver, as Mary Jane Smith, possesses the ankle for which the play is named. The ankle is ex posed. T4jq.se who patronize bathing beaches probably will find the idea rather tame. As I have said before, the summer stock theater is vastly different from the legitimate theater in regular road season time. Bills must he changed weekly and variety is the spice of the pudding. light entertainment is needed and that is the reason that "Mary’s Ankle” Is produced in stock. When a farce will make people laugh and forget the heat on hot days—well, the purpose of summer entertainment has been met. Was rather pleased with the first Impression made by Sherold Pago as Chub. Page is making his first appearance this week with the Berkell Players. He has a healthy and normal appreciation of comedy scenes and he knows how to put over comedy business across the footlights. Eddy Waller is the doctor who

I gets into hot water most of the time. The real comedy honors of the show are carried off by Idabelle Arnold as Clementine. The woman knows what she is about. Miss Oliver hasn’t a chance to accomplish anything this week. Not her fault. | The playwright is to blame. [_ The cast for “Mary’s Ankle” is as | follows: ; Doctor Hampton Eddy Waller ! Chub Sherold Pusre ! Stokes Robert Fay | Clementine Idabelle Arnold Mrs. Merrivule Mary Hill I Mary Jane -Smitn Jean Oliver Mrs, Burns Myrtle Stringer Expressman Alexander Campbell G. P. Hampton Herbert Dob'ns j Steward Larry Sullivan At English’s all week. ** * • A REAL SUMMER ACT IS SEEN AT THE LYRIC A real summer act is topping the j bill at the Lyric /his week. Although the audience might be | pardoned for feeling a little envious; of Lottie Mayer and her diving girls as they splash into their tank, things seemed a little cooler for the presence of so much water, a sort of sympathetic lowering of the temperature. Miss Mayer has with her four or five good-looking girls that know how to perform on (or should I say ’’off”?) a spring board. Miss Mayer performs some good stunts and closes the act with a high dive from above the flys. This is a standard i act and is as good as ever, t Charles Burtling and company I held the audience with ' a melo- : dramatic playlet called "The Heart |of a Clown.” It concerns a circus i clown whose wife despised him for i his calling. She called him "fool 1 face.” She left the clown and remarried. When she had a son “fool . face” kidnapped him and raised him ; to be a clown. Then at the time the ; ■play opens he has sent for her to j show her son also a despised clown. But he is robbed of his triumph for : instead the boy’s grandmother comes t< tell the clown that his former wife is dead. For the boy s sake “fool face” gives him to his grandmother while he, the clown, goes on with i the circus. It is acted in the man- j ner that appeals to a vaudeville j audience. Rinehart and Duff, two girls, are seen in an entertaining song and piano act. Tuck and Clnns are con- j tortionists. Dunham and O’Malley ; indulge in songs and patter some of it in rather bad taste. Harry Bewley and company call j their act “His Night Out." It con- | cerns the domestic troubles of an intoxicated gentleman. There are also some funny songs and a burlesque on grand opera. This act gets its share of the laughs. The Riddel Brothers play accordians. The show is opened by Rekoma, an equilibrist whose accomplishments include the ability to waltz on his hands as well as some folks do right side up. The movies include a Mack Sennett comedy and j a news real. (By Observer). -I- -!• -IGRAND OPERA IS REMOVED FROM ITS HIGH PLACE The job of getting grand opera j out of the clouds on to the earth j has been accomplished by a group j of opera singers now on view at the Palace. Love scenes from about six operas : are presented by seven singers un- j der the title of the Operalogue. j Catherine Redfield is featured. I | Judge Miss Redfield is the one who presides at the piano part of the! time. She dors her Juliet scene from “Romeo and Juliet” with quiet and effective artistry. The high notes are reached with ease. Miss Redfield has a jazzy and mod ern way of introducing the various opera numbers which are done in costume and the necessary scenery. This act is well mounted and helps i to bring new interest of those who ijike real music to the variety the ! ater. 'These people are doing a real service In making one appreciate bits of real opera. The children will enjoy seeing | Happy Harrison and his circus. Including a trick mule and a funny j big monkey, ape or whatever it is. Downey and Claridge have an unusual way in introducing a bicycle act. The man gets some laughs with his clowning. The woman in the act sings and glides about on roller skates. Basil Lambert! plays a certain well-known instrument well. ! Ward and Wilson attempt to get
chummy with the audience. The man even uses a seat in the auditorium for some of his alleged comedy. The movie feature is "The Marriage Market.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. • * • Movies on view today include: “George Washington Jr.” at the
