“SHERLOCK HOLMES"
A DIFFERENT FILM
There are several reasons why the I
dcreen production of "Sherlock*
£ll||lillillllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIII!lllllllllllllll
Holmes” differs from most motion
picture plays. In the first place it
boars the name of that imposing star,
John wtarrymore, who, unfortunately
is too seldom seen on the screen. In
addition to this leading dramatic
actor, who plays tbo title role, oth
ers in the cast include such names
as Roland Young, who plays the part
of Watson. The villainous Morlarty
Is played toy Gustave von Seyffcr
ttts, formerly stage director of
Charles tFrohman and a character ac
tor for many j^ars. Louis Woihelm,
who is now creating a sensation on
the stage toy Ms portrayal of the
roudhneck stoker in "The Hairy
Ape,” Is another member of the cast.
Among others are Pejrclval Knight,
Reginald Denny, Albert Rruning,
ILumsdon Haro, John Willard, who
not only is appearing in "The Cat
and" the Canary," but Is also the
author; Carol Dempster Hedda Hop
per and other well known men and
women of the stage and screen.
“Sherlock Holmes" is at the Pal
ace beginning tomorrow'.

Gloria Foy, a recent addition to

has unloosed a violent delate upon
the Rialto by asserting that mar

Marriage Not Anchor
“Their unanimous Opinion seems
to be," complains Gloria, “that mar
liage is not journey’s end, hut a step
in life of little more importance
than the purchase of a new frock
or the obtaining of a new job. If
you do not like the frock, you can
return it. If the job doesn’t suit,
you can give it up. That’s exactly
what they do with husbands.
Journey's End
“Now I was trained in another
school and I agree with the song,
‘Journey’s End’, that started the
whole argument. I believe you
