And the audience appeared aborbed throutout. "When a Man Marries" is a good play, and Miss Edythe Elliott in the principal role of Mrs. Jack Harding does as capable work as she has yet shown in Anaheim. That the monopolize things isn't her fault, but that of the author, Herbert Bashford. On the screen, murher may be committed without any talk about melodrama. On the spoken stage, Mr. Shakespeare is to the contrary, a shot fired spells melodrama and little else. No shots are fired in "When a Man Marries," but the audience in Act H is just about sure several will be and gets the equivalent thrills. Incidentally when the lights went off and on a few times in Act III, the audience would have liked to fire a few shots themselves. What the players would have liked to do, we don't venture to say. Every member of the cast of the Royal Shock Co. does excellent work in this play. The urbane Redney Hildebrand as the artist is fine in the minor role of Marden. Marden's picture by the way, called "The Blessed Damselfel," from Rosett's poem, is none the less a feature of the play, tho seen only in the language of its admirers. Maurice Chick, as Arnsby preses the star for honour, James E. Dillon is an authentic Jack Harding plays up well with his fellows, and Nyrtle Pepin is a very acceptable Mrs. Witson Bainbridge. Installed sometimes toward being of the naive sort, who look at a play from its real face value, instead of as a critic, we confess to being stirred several times in the course of "When a Man Marries." We forgot to say that Miss Elliot wears several expensive and beautiful gowns that are a joy to the eyes. The play also is unusually well-staged by Hildebrand. COMMUNIST PARTY CONTROLS SOVIET WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The Russian communist party "controls absolutely" the soviet government, said Evan E. Young, chief of the eastern European affairs division of the state department, declared today at the opening of the investigation by a senatorial sub-committee.

YOU WILL SEE A NEW PICKFORD ART Also Showing MUCH INTEREST IN HOMEWOOD TRACT The free offer made by Homewood, the new subdivision at Buena Park, of five cabinet phonographs, has caused more than a little local interest. To get one of these beautiful instruments, all that is necessary is to register at one of the offices of the A.B.C. Sales Co., selling agents for the tract, and then visit the tract on the formal opening day, which will be announced shortly. Many registrations have already been made, it is stated by the A.B.C. Sales Co. It is interesting to note that The A.B.C. Sales Co. is an organization owning a chain of real estate offices all over So. Calif. They have opened several in the vicinity of this city, and are looking for more. It is still more interesting to note that both partners of the A.B.C. Sales Co., Tait and Lecoq, have come to make their permanent home in the locality, moving from Inglewood, where they have been very successful as real estate men. Both are realators of outstanding ability, in the very prime of life, and are a very acceptable addition. OPPOSE PURCHASE SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21—The board of officers, which was convened by Maj.-Gen. Charles G. Morton for the purpose of considering the proposed sale of the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, to the army, has completed its findings and recommends that the army does not purchase the building.

In "Rosita," Mary Pickford's latest United Artista production, which is now playing at the California theater, Miss Pickford is afforded an opportunity to wear some of the most beautiful creations of the empire period. "I cannot help smiling," commented Miss Pickford, "when I compare the wardrobe departments of our studios today with those of the old Biograph days, when a whole company had but ten dresses, and they were worn indiscriminately by every person in the cast—tall and short, fat and lean. "Now, I cannot help regretting that I will lose the effect of the gorgeous coloring in some of my Spanish dresses. I have one cloth of gold costume which I dearly love and there is my silver lace mantilla, which is beautiful." In the olden days such costumes were never dreamed of. Now we use real laces, gorgeous materials and even real jewels, while the high-priced artists who design the costumes are put under a long-term contract." In that short reminiscence, Miss Pickford voiced a world of its indulgences and recommends that the army does not purchase the building. The board, consisting of Col. Arthur W. Yates, commanding the San Francisco general intermediate depot, Col. Harry F. Rethers, Ninth Corps mbfwy fg Rethers, ninth corps area quartermaster, and Lieut-Col. Wm H.

S. Hutchinson's famous novel, which opens an extended engagement at the Fairyland theater today, tells the story of the "puzzle-head." Mark Sabre, with such charm, conviction and fidelity as to rank it among the best of the screen efforts of the past two years. Once more a film play, based upon a novel, actually surpasses interest and realism the original material upon which it is built. And this is accomplished by William Fox. In inevitably, every so often, Fox produces a masterpiece and this is another of them. One producer after another shed at the price asked for the screen. FIGURES VALUE OF PANAMA CANAL WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—In 40 years the Panama canal will have completely paid for itself and will return to the government a net profit of approximately $10,000,000 annually, according to figures just compiled at the war department. This in addition to the thousands of dollars annually saved by American shipping firms thrust utilizing the canal and its inestimable value as a vital link in our system of national defense. It is doubtful, whether the most optimistic of those who fostered the project when it was first conceived ever expected it to actually pay a profit. The tremendous expense of building the canal was justified in the minds of the engineers who drew up the first plans because they considered the project in the same category as government work on rivers and harbors in the United States. Furthermore, they pointed out that a large portion of the huge sum could be charged off to the item of national defense. A better "Mabel" than that of Margaret Fielding could not have been found. Miss Fielding gives a perfect interpretation of this unimaginative, soulless, sexless woman who was a vindictive fire-side autocrat into the bargain. "Bright Effle" is played by Gladys Leslie with appealing effect, and Ann Forrest's Lady Tybar is beautifully done. Every actor in the cast has been chosen with unerring tastes and discrimination and, except in the case of Sydney Herbert, who plays old Twynning, they are all new faces. The settings are worthy of a story in themselves. The glimpses of London and Brighton; the magnificent English manor house tended engagement at the Fairyland theater today, tells the story of the "puzzle-head." Mark Sabre, with such charm, conviction and fidelity as to rank it among the best of the screen efforts of the past two years. Once more a film play, based upon a novel, actually surpasses interest and realism the original material upon which it is built. And this is accomplished by William Fox. Inevitably, every so often, Fox produces a masterpiece and this is another of them. One producer after another shiled at the price asked for the screen rights of Hutchinson's "best seller"; none of them, apparently, was confident enough of the picture value of the book. As it turns out, under excellent directorial engagement at the Fairy-land theater today, tells the story of the "puzzle-head." The role of Mark Sabre is played by Percy Marmont, and he is old "Marko" to the life. Every shade of expression, every gesture, reproduces the childlike idealist of Hutchinson's story, the man who was almost irritatingly lamblike in his own behalf, but who could become a raging lion in defense of another. Marmont's work in the courtroom scene presents a picture that will stamp itself ineradicably upon the mind and imagination of everyone who sees it. And combined with this finish of technique Marmont brings to the screen a freshness of personality that makes his work doubly delightful. At once the spectator visualizes him in a dozen parts for which no screen unimaginative, soulless, sexless woman who was a vindictive fire-side autocrat into the bargain. "Bright Effle" is played by Gladys Lesile with appealing effect, and Ann Forrest's Lady Tybar is beautifully done. Every actor in the cast has been chosen with unerring tastes and discrimination and, except in the case of Sydney Herbert, who plays old Twynning, they are all new faces. The settings are worthy of a story in themselves. The glimpse of London and Brighton; the magnificent English manor house with its moat, its illly pond and rose garden; its decorative peacocks; the little villa in Tidborough; the wooded bridle paths; all of these are tantalizingly beautiful.
