DE MILLE SCREENS FAMOUS "GRUMPY" That delightful and popular stage play "Grumpy", familiar to the theater goes, has been brought to the screen and with such a cast as even the most optimistic admirers of the famous drama desired but hardly expected. William de Mille was the producer. The character of Grumpy is played by Theodore Roberts, whose "Uncle Josh" in "The Old Homestead" stands as one of the greatest characters ever established in the screen world. In "Grumpy", which will be at the California Theater for two days beginning tomorrow Mr. Roberts has a character none the less powerful—if anything even more adaptable to his acting ability. The story of "Grumpy" deals with the love affairs of a young couple fostered by Grumpy, an irracible loovable retired criminal lawyer. A valuable diamond is stolen, and its recovery is wholly due to the discovery of the identity of the robber by means of a gardenia, of which one each was worn by three of the leading characters. How Grumpy gets his clue and runs it down makes one of the most suspenseful picture stories ever screened. Tonight will see the final performances of the big time vaudeville show and feature picture. The vaudeville program is headlined by that noted Jack Levey and the Four Crowell Sisters in a snappy musical offering. Other great acts are also featured, while the picture is "Woman, Wake Up", starring Florence Vidor supported by an exceptionally strong cast.
