VARSITY ELEVEN TO PLAY ALONE WILL ADMIT ONE LADY TO SEE "FOOLISH PARENTS" The big virile story that every woman should see. United Theatre THURSDAY Night, Sept. 18th YANKEE MADNESS AT UNITED THEATER SCENE FROM YANKEE MADNESS" Actor's Skill Makes Role Unusual One An interesting note is achieved in "When a Girl Loves," the latest production of the Halperin for Associated Exhibitors, through the characterization of Rogojin, played by George Siegmann. Rogojin is one of tohse creatures of chance—created by the Russian Revolution. Formerly a clinging, subservient coachman to nobility, the new democracy develops him into an executive of great power, which he uses as the ignorant have always used power—for revenge and personal gain. He becomes a bully using his position for his personal gain, wreaking his vengeance on his former employer who is the hero of the picture. It is not only an interesting characterization, but is symbolical of the danger of a power placed in unworthy hands. Still another villain of a different type looms up when the picture theme shifts to America, Robert McKim as a great doctor, who love affairs are decidedly messy, handles a line of "Yankee Madness" the photodrama holding the screen at the United Theatre Friday and Saturday, and in which George Larkin and Billie Dove appear as the stars is certain to make even the hardened movie fan lean forward in his seat and grasp his breath in astonishment. It can be truthfully said that never before has the screen revealed a more smashing, redblooded, hand-to-hand conflict than takes place between the hero and villain in "Yankee Madness." Geo. Larkin sets a dizzy pace for Douglas Falrbanks and other movie heroes in this new feature. If you like action, love making, and flashes of Spanish dancing as it should be danced, we advise you to see the film at the United Theatre. It is impossible for us to tell even part of the story here without spalling it for those who may read this first and then see the film. It may be said though, that it has to do with a young and regular American who is up and going and desires to see what lies directed a Los Angeles Arthur Braley, Rodeny and John Klipper, all close of the famous first baseman.

DENY SNOBBERY ON POLO TEAM NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Altho members of the polo committee have denied the implication at every turn, thinly veiled innuendoes to the effect that the victorious American international team was selected from the pages of the social register as much as for its ability to play polo, has gained some credence today. The charges revolved around the game of Eric Pedley, dashing California, who was named as a reserve player, in spite of the belief in some quarters that he deserved a place on the team. Snobbery is said to have been an abiding factor in the relegating of Pedley to the background. Snobbery is said to have affected the decision to permit Pedley to appear in a special match against the British on Saturday a match in which nothing will be at stake beyond the ordinary desire for victory. Louis Stoddard, chairman of the committee, took exception to the story in question today. By way of rebuttal, he said, among other things: "Pedley undoubtedly is a great pool player, perhaps the most promising of the younger generation of players. Yet he lacked experience in international competition and experience counts as much as skill in these matches. He is just coming to the peak of his skill as is indicated in the 1924 handicap list, which rates Pedley at six goals. Milburn and Hitchcock are rated at ten goals each. Stevenson and Webb at nine goals each and Strawbridge at eight goals. In other words the bandicap committee considered Pedley the inferior of the others named as late as January last. He developed amazingly in the present season, of course, and in another year or so it is probable that he could not be kept off any team. As it is, I doubt very much if he could have played better polo in the international match." FRIDAY GIFT NIGHT AT Gift night at the Theatre tomorrow night besides the many valito be given away, also tunity to see Marsha screen triumph, "T'DUervilles" with Blasand an all star cast iing roles.

ENIES FIRPO EVER WAS LADY KILLER NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Luis Angel Firpo is no lady killer but ary with the ladies and never as anything to do with them, Hyan Bushel, his attorney, asserted today as Firpo's deportation ring was resumed at Ellis Island.

BRITISH TEAM FAR INFERIOR TO U.S. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Pole authorities today were united in expressing the opinion that the international cup would remain in this country indefinitely, following America's successful defense of the trophy culminating in its 14 to 5 defeat of the invading British in the second match of the series yesterday. The belief was expressed that England would have to adopt American methods of play before it could hope to cope with the cyclonic riding and hitting tactics employed by the defenders. The British sustained the worst defeat in the history of the series by losing the opening match 16 to 5. They did better better yesterday but, nevertheless, left no doubt that they were a combination far inferior to the Americans. Only Luis Lacey, their captain and back seemed able to play the game according to American standards.

Gift night at the California Theatre tomorrow night includes besides the many valuable gifts to be given away, also the opportunity to see Marshall Neilan's screen triumph, "Tess of the D'Ubervilles" with Blanche Sweet and an all star cast in the leading roles. "Tess of the D'Ubervilles" is his greatest screen production, believes Marshall Neilan, who filmed Thomas Hardy's classic novel for Metro-Goldwyn. Not only its greatness as a novel, but its peculiar fitness for adaptation to pictures, assures its qualities as a photoplay aside from the direction and the acting, Neilan declares. "A great many people who are acquainted with past and present literature regard Thomas Hardy as the greatest living writer," Neilan states. "Certainly 'Tess of the D'Ubervilles' is his greatest work. It is unusually well fitted for the screen. It is, without question, the greatest story I have ever attempted to film, and it is more easily adaptable to the screen than any other novel with which I am familiar." "Hardy has a grasp and an understanding of life which no other modern writer has. His stories are made realistic by their simplicity, and the manner in which they are told makes them excellent screen material. In my opinion, Blanche Sweet as Tess, and Conrad Nagel as Angel Clare, are perfect in their parts. I truly believe Miss Sweet has given a finer performance in "Tess' than in Anna Christie." "I think 'Tess of the D'Ubervilles' is one of the biggest stories ever written. It is the great, eat picture I have ever made, of that I am sure. "Miss Sweet and I have been planning and hoping to make a picture of 'Tess of the D'Ubervilles' of three or four years, and at last we have gratified our ambition with results that are satisfying to us at least.
