Pirrln'a face looks sdghtly taihll- Iftir, arid it is probable he has playM iblnor roles in various western titmm. ''feorder Vengeance" is his first star- ring vehicle that has com* to the Attehtlon of this reviewer or, so far 4s <;an be ascertained, that has slipped Into a house like the New TorM Ibr a showing. He is pleasant looking and clean-cut without being lurndsome^ and has that happy fac- •Ity given to so many other similar •tars of getting away with the act- ing requirements without exerting himself wUh any real hlstrkmks at- tsnpts. He Is in addition an excel- lent horseman and can handle him- self la • flst flght with the beist of them, hut is handicapped with a pistol by posBSBsing what the cow« bey fkns will call "a bum draw." . As for the picture It may be dis* missed briefly by saying It has a moderately pretty heroine, four or ^ve heavies, ranging from a mis-, SMOOTH As smooth In toxtero M thoy or* triis in eolor H Stein' a*a Grease Paints -A Mata'a ■' Cardboard Tubes SSo Thjt IL Stein Cotmetio Co.

The photography Is all wot two ways, scenlcally and techni- cally, and tire raitch ozteriors are of the mouldioet possible variety. Jack Richardson is the only recog- nizable face or name in the cast, although little Josephine Hill, one of the tiniest of film leading ladles, has her moments of appeal. The di- rector has permitted entirely too much exaggerated gesticulating by everybody concerned. A weak buy for the metropolitan Loew picture house, but the film may not be considered so bad in the sticks, and at least It introduces a new glorified galloper. As a flnal recommsadation, it is blessedly short. "Tb« lUsAt SaihMT" is the titio of a two reel comedy by Frank R. Conldin, the.ftnt of « series of pic- tures in which Billy Dooley is be- ing starred by Christie. William Watson is directing the supporting cast, including Vera Steadman. Sddie Baker, Rosa Gore, Wco-d CaulfleM, and Bobby, a monkey.

OtniCS' BOX SCORE (Continuod from pa«s 1) paper. As mentioned in Variety's final summing up for the season of •U-'2i. the oritlcs writing for the evening dailies seem to havo an advantage in expressing an opinion on a new play through the addi- tional time allowed for the writing of their notices. The first string men of the morn- ing papers have, of necessity, a time limit at night and directly after the performance in vrhlch to reach a conclusion. This flash judgment becomes the morning critic's opinion in type. Denberate thought In coming to a decision and the opportunity to reverse or modify an impression gives the evening men a percentage, the latter often not turning In a re- view until the day following ISie premier. The complete list of critics as they will be oarried in the new bozaooro is as follows: Morning Group „;^ Dale. "Anierlcan." v ' • Mantle, "News." ' Hammond, "Herald-Trlbune>'* WooUcott, "World." Atkinson, •Times." Afternoon Group. Gabriel. "Bun." Rathbun. "Sun." Anderson, "Post." Vreeland, "TelegFam." Oeborae. "Svenlng Worl*" Winchell, "araphlo."

Mo Brooklyn daUy la inchided jn the opening bokaooro. Upon the Brooklyn "Daily Times" moving to its sew quarters at the beginning oC the summer, the "Times" printed and without contradiction that it had the largest circulation of any liong Island daily. On that sUtement the "Times" is the leading paper of Brooklyn in number of readers. Variety in inserting .tlM "Eagle" last season did so through that paper being tbe rep- - resantative dally of the sister bor- ough, which it may remain. Tho "Timea." however, haa not been conducting its dramatic de- partment in a manner to commend it as tb« best critical service it can give. It this Brooklyn dally gives the theatre the attention a' paper of its standing in a city like Brooklyn should be ^ad to do, and as it is reported the paper Intends to. Variety will enroll the "Times" in the boxscore. So far as the flrst recording in the boxscore is concerned.
