MURRAY .VAUDEVILLE The headliner this last half at the Murray is a terpsichorean number abounding in the grace and charm incidental to youth. It is pleasantly staged and presented, and the beauty of the offering is enhanced much by the setting, drop and costumes. Miss Natalie Harrison is featured. Billy Beard is a real monologist of

current vaudeville. Billy's act depends upon his clever fun-making. He is one of the foremost blackfaced boys of the circuits and has a wealth of material suitable for comic dissertation. John and Winnie Hennlngs produce an attractive bit of fun in which a trombone and a cornet are used to advantage. The pair are agreeable and interesting. Two acrobats hold first The Melnotte Duo hs a novel Introduction, which Is closely followed by wire walking feats. Both are versed in the art of entertainment via the wire. "All For a Woman," is the film feature. MARVIN. VICTORY THEATRE, DAYTON The super theatrical attraction for the winter season Is John Drew and Mrs. Leslie Carter, in "The Circle," a modern comedy by W. Somerset

Maugham, which is the offering of

the Selwyns at the Victory theatre,

Dayton, for three days beginning Monday, Jan. 29, with matinee on Wednesday. "The Circle" is one of the superior plays of the year. It has been named as one of the best 10 plays of 1922, according to the Pulitzer decision. It is English comedy that is austere rather than playful and although its epigrams are light and gay, its purpose is to

CI fread hearts ratuer than to bandy jests. It represents the work of W.

Somerset Maugham in the mood of "Our Betters." This gifted writer is

a realist and a fold observer of life; a cynic, too, in some phases of "The Circle." Here John Drew and Mrs. Leslie Carter, as a once famous lord and a once lovely lady who had run away together 30 years before, come back

to their old home, still unmarried but still sticking together, to prove to

everyone that they had a wonderful

time. The girl who had married the

son that Lady Champion-Cheney de

serted is now ready to imitate them

and "bolt" for she, too, has found her

great love. The two old reprobates

try to dissuade her.

But the young woman's lover makes

a last plea, in a notable speech; he of

fers her poverty, exile, hardships, the

contempt of society but he also of

fers her love. The querulous old lord

and the bedizened Lady Kitty find In

these youngsters the glow of the ec

static flame which had swept them

together, and withdraw their objec-i

tiona. They love; that is enough. It gives Mr. Drew and Mrs. Carter two glorious roles for their after-glow in the theatre and they play them like great artists. Mr. Drew's artistry is not surprising, but Mrs. Carter's is. "The Circle" represents her highest accomplishment in acting.

RICHMOND The motion pictures already have

done wonders in bringing to the public their favorite topics and pastimes

at all seasons, but it remained for Mack Sennett to give to the football

fans their dearly beloved game in mid

summer, when the far-off late fall

games were not even being planned.

In "Married Life," Sennett s new five-

reel super comedy, at the Richmond theatre today, the opening incident Is one of the most stirring gridiron

scrimmages that has ever been filmed. Ben Turpin as the stalwart hero, Rodney St. Clair, in his struggles to carry

the pigskin through opposition lines

of giant players, furnishes one of the

most realistic reproductions that the

screen has ever offered and his gal

lant efforts on behalf of the home team end with his being sent to the

hospital for repairs but that is an

other part of, the story which you can

au see. "ROMEO AND JULIET"

There is no writer of comedy today so adroit in the handling of words, so

profoundly perfect in his development

of scenes of humor as Shakespeare.

There is no dramatist of today who can so succinctly say the salient things so cleverly cloaked with humor

as Shakespeare. In this Devereux performance of his comedies it is notable how even children enjoy and understand the plots and how they laugh over the sparkle of wit and absorb the lines of wisdom. Any play of Shakespeare's unconsciously elevates the dullest minds and stimulates without any effort the taste for better things. Shakespeare was a dramatist who

wrote for the human heart in all ages.

He was not restricted by deference to contemporary Dashions and the caprices of public taste. His works.

therefore, did not pass away with his time. His plays are as real now as they were then.

In "Romeo and Juliet which the

Devereux company will play at Earl-

ham college on Saturday afternoon,

Jan. 27, the opportunity is presented

of witnessing what is probably the

best-known of all Shakespeare's plays.

and the one which tells the most

famous love story known to literature.

"STEVE" George M. Gatts. who will present

Eugene Q'Brien, the world-famed Rtae-e and screen star, in a charming

romantic comedy entitled "Steve" at

the Murray theatre, Monday, t eo. b, seems .to have been the only one of manv Droducers who has a novelty to

offer. . Eugene O'Brien's personal ap

pearance in a new stage play will not only be a welcome surprise to the picture fans, but will be a real society

event with regular theatre patrons. In selecting the associate players to support Mr. O'Brien, Manager Gatts has engaged that grand -and lovable old lady, Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, in addition to Vivia Ogden, Helen Weir, Ann Winston, Peggy Whiffen, Frank Herbert, Homer Barton, Duncan Penwarden and others of Broadway reputation. The play is in three acts.vthe scenes being laid on a picturesque island off the coast of Maine, showing its great cliffs, dashed by the giant surf, the stern beauty of which is broken only by the spears of hollyhock and delphinium in a garden patch running entirely across the front of the plot The setting In itself is said to be one of the most attractive features

of the offering and was reproduced at no little expense.
