The Theatres , WASHINGTON The final showings of "Clarence,' Paramount comedy, in which Wallace Reid, Agnes Ayres and May McAvoy are featured, will take place at the Washington theatre today. The com edy has created a fine impression be cause of its clean and wholesome humor. Don't miss this admirable William DeMille creation. The late Clyde Fitch, dramatist, whose play, "The Woman in the Case, was adapted to Paramount Pic tures as a stellar vehicle for Betty compson under the title, "The Law and the Woman, also wrote "The Cowboy and the Lady," which has been picturized by Paramount, with Mary Miles Minter and Tom Moore in the leading roles. Mr. Moore is seen as the "dude" cowboy and Miss Minter is the lady whose unhappy marital affairs result in a great deal of trouble ere she find3 the road to happiness. Charles Maigne directed the piclure, which was filmed in the Jackson Hole cattle country of Wyoming. Following the completion of the ranch shots, the company returned to Hollywood, where the interior scenes were photographed. Patricia Palmer, Viora Daniel, Robert Schable, Leonard Clapham, Guy Oliver and Robert Mack are in the cast. The picture will be shown at the Washington theatre tomorrow. A romantic and exciting tale of the west, this play offers great opportunities as well for comedy. The idea of cowpunchers on motorcycles trying to rope steers, a modern idea of ranching, with filing systems and the like; l. 1 . T ... me lauuier who ureases iiKe a gentleman of fashion all supply mirthiui moments which contrast with the tragedy at the end and the trial which results in the vindication of the hero from complicity in the killing at a aance or the worthless husband. junen josephson, who scenarized "The Old Homestead," also wrote the continuity for "The Cowboy and the Lady." VICTORY THEATRE, DAYTON The attraction at the Victory thea-. tre, Dayton, for three davs, beginning Thursday evening, Dec. 28. is Mis rcisie Ferguson in a new play by James i Barnard Fagan called "The Wheel of Life." Marc Klaw, founder of one of the most powerful theatrical syndicates in the world and for more than a quarter of a century a leading producer, is responsible for Miss Ferguson's return to the speaking stage. The announcement of Miss Ferguson's comeback is important to those who appreciate the theatre and are familiar with the work of the actress. The movie's loss is the legitimate stage's gain, even though the screen can ill afford to forfeit the services and influence of so talented an actress. The story of Miss Ferguson's new play deals with the struggle in the soul of a woman, a conflict of the flesh against spirit It is said to possess all the elements of a great and popular play, an abundance of thrilling situations, moments of gripping suspense and a well-defined vein of humor. In Miss Ferguson's company are Frederick Worlock, C. T. Davis Eric Cowley. Irby Marshall, Marc Launcelot and others. MURRAY Teddie Gerard, prime favorite with theatregoers of London and Paris, where she has appeared in numerous stage successes, makes her film debut in the screen version of "The Cave Girl," the clever comedy by Guy Bolton and George Middleton which scored such a hit during its run on Broadway. The picture, which is being distributed through Associated First National Pictures, Inc., exchanges, will be shown at the Murray theatre, starting Thursday. . Miss Gerard, who plans the heroine, likes the film game so much as the result of her first experience that she

Elsie, Ferguson, famous screen and stage star, will appear at the Victory theatre, at Davton, in her new play, "The Wheel of Life", beginning Thursday, Dec. 28.

has decided to disappoint European admirers by remaining in her own country to appear before the camera. Her entrance to the film field verged on the sensational. Even the producers of the picture were unaware of her identity when she was engaged for the role and it was only through a chance scrutiny of a London newspaper, which devoted half a page bewailing her loss to the stage, that her secret became known. The pretty actress, although an American, has an astounding record of European successes, having succeeded Gladys Deslys as dancing partner for Harry Pilcer in Paris. E. Phillips Oppenheim was quick to recognize her artistry and ability and was responsible, shortly afterwards, for her appearance in the starring role of "The Eclipse," which ran in the English capital for two seasons. MURRETTE "East is West," the outstanding stage success of the past decade, with a record of two seasons on Broadway alone, has reached the screen. Constance Talmadge finally secured the most coveted play, which has been dangled before the longing eyes of motion picture producers, and can now be seen as Ming Toy, the lovely heroine, at the Murrette theatre. Two million persons have laughed and thrilled with Ming Toy on the speaking stage. Easily ten times that number will enjoy the most scintillating of screen stars on the silver sheet. It was a signal triumph for Miss Talmadge when Joseph M. Schenck succeeded in getting "East is West" for her. From the first week of the play's long run on Broadway it has been sought by motion picture producers, but it was regarded as so valuable a piece of property that a prac tically prohibitive price was set on the motion picture rights. The question of cold dollars and cents in large num bers, formed a barrier which was not hurdled till Mr. Schenck came along. But it is the opinion of all who have seen this exceptional production that it is the. finest vehicle in which Constance Talmadge has ever been seen. Miss Talmadge Ideal Heroine Of the vast array of material available for the screen, "East is West" is regarded as the choicest selection. This is all the more true when Con stance Talmadge is visualized in the role of Ming Toy, the heroine, whose beauty is a thing for men to fight for both in her native China and in America. Constance Talmadge crowns a me teoric career with her temperamentally brilliant interpretation of the role of Ming Toy. The girl who was reared according to strict tenets of the Chinese, relegates woman to the role of slave, nevertheless absorbs the culture of the odlest existing civilization. Suburb an PERSHING, Ind.

He made a plea for the better co-operation of the Christian people in this community, enlisting their attendance and help to build up a strong church life in this place. Following this address came the main part of the program, the presentation of the cantata, "The Guest at Bethlehem," by Adam Geibel. This play had many splendid features as a Christmas offering. The music was bright and exceedingly well-rendered. The outstanding features of the play were the singing of the solos. Miss Martha Mohler, as Mary, sang in excellent taste and power. The debut of this singer before a Pershing audience was generally appreciated. Mrs. Clanrence Ingerman, who is possessed of an excellent voice and shows marked ability, sang "Blessings Shall Crown Thee," in a very effective manner. John Murray, in a full baritone sang the solo, "The Throne is Mine," impersonating Herod very- ably. The whole play is said by many to have been the best ever given here.
