Only those entirely free from self-con-sciousness, and having the qualities of individuality, charm, appeal, indifference to general opinion and fearlessness, can be possessed of this indefinable something which Mme. Glynn calls “It.” The screen story, which Is the first that the famous English author has written In almost five years, concerns a little tlapper, Betty Lou, who earns her dally bread as a salesgirl lp a large department store. Because of this power, "It,” she raises herself from the depths of poverty to the heights of affluence. People are attracted to her immediately upon meeting her,' but the one man that she would like to win remains indifferent to her charms.

He pursues her back to America, and makc3 every effort to make he.- run away with him', finally pvr " her to do this during a nv 'v misunderstanding with .1. iOlrod, a young southerner, whom it lias long been planned she should marry.

In the ensuing struggle, Clare strikes Andro with h. weapon which !e had playfully given, her to protect' herself, and he falls, apparently dead. The following sequence is said to be an extremely dramatic one, in which she goes to John for protection, and the denouement comes as a striking climax to the story. The splendid supporting cast Includes Andre Beranger, Maude George and Robert Edeson.

The Stage and Screen

* By Shel'y Pierce (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Anne Nichols now has three plays running on Broadway. “Sam Abramovich," an adaptation of a French play by Francois Porche, has come to join the ever popular “Abie’s Irish Rose" and “Howdy King.” The story deals with the trials and tribulations of a Jewish immigrant in New York. Indications are that it won’t be a serious rival for Abie’s record. Pedro de Cordoba has the leading role. John Barrymore's latest picture, "When A Man Loves,” is to have its New York premiere at the Selwyn Theater Thursday night. Dolores Costello plays the feminine lead. A Vitaphone program made, up of opera singers and musical comedy stars wil l also be presented. “The-Big Parade,” now in Its sixtyfourth week at the Astor Theater has broken all records in the length of Its New York run. Its nearest competitor was “The Ten Commands ments,” which showed for slxty-or.f weeks. The picture had previously smashed the record for attendance and gross receipts. It is estimated thal nearly 1,000,000 people have seen' it here, while six times nunfber have witnessed the product tion throughout the United States and Canada. The venerable Eddie Foy is to be seen In anew revue which Frank Fay plans to stage as soon as Fay completes his present vaudeville tour.
