"Getting Gertie's Garter" is the work of two of the most famous writers on the American stage today. Avery Hopwood, who wrote "The "Bat," "Fair and Warmer" and other big successes, and Wil »t/U V-*i*iOUll Will* W i 1 ic \^ y 111 .viduu s iiuulu anu a nuniuei' ui onicr Dig iii'OauWii)' una.

The cast includes William Burress, Marjorie Bennett, Robert Ober, Florence Printy, Brady Kline, Owen Burroughs, Fred dimming and Hazel Bruckham. A novel attraction heads the Hillstreet theatre bill. It will be the famous stage and screen star Louise Lovely, supported by Wilton Welch, in a motion picture production act called "A Day at the Studio." At each show Miss Lovely will direct a scene before her own camera on the stage using people picked from the audience as htc actors. Children will be photographed at the matinees and adults at the evening performance. She will also turn her camera on the audience. The week following her engagement the complete photoplay will be shown at the Hillstreet. Other features will include Dolly Kay, whose records for the phonograph have been heard throughout the world. Also on the bill will be William Ebs, in his act, "Always Something New." Dennie O'Neil and "Cy" Plunkett in their comedy offering "The Young 'Un." Incas and Inez will present "An Art Classic," also their novelty "The Slow Motion Camera." Completing the vaudeville bill will be Princess Radjah in her "Dance of Cleopatra." An extraordinary photoplay is promised in the presentation of Charles Ray in "The Deuce of Spades." George M. Cohan's famous stage success, "The Meanest Man in the World," will be seen at Loew's State Theater all this week with Bert Lytell in the title role and Blanche Sweet playing opposite him. This is Sol Lesser's picturization of the famous comedydrama that has entertained audiences throughout the world. "The Meanest Man in the World" deals with a lovable, unbusinesslike young lawyer who tried to be stern, but could not get away with it. The business of being somewhat of a bounder when the natural instincts were only lovable and gentle provokes the mainspring of comedy in this Principal Pictures release. Bert Lytell achieves a distinct triumph in the part of Richard Clarke, the young lawyer, while Blanche Sweet, returning to the screen in the leading feminine role, is seen in a part which fits her like the proverbial glove. Richard Barthclmess is at the Alhambra Theater this week in a nine-reel production, "The Fighting Blade." In this First National picture, Barthelmcss essays the role of a swashbuckling soldier of forttunc in the days of Oliver Cromwell. "The Fighting Blade" is a story of hearts and swords given a brilliant and massive production. The power of the press and its ability to make or break reputation is vividly portrayed in the current offering at Grauman's Metropolitan, Thomas H. Incc's special. "Her Reputation," with May McAvoy, Lloyd Hughes and a feature cast. The picture is replete with drama of the most stirring sort and includes some thrilling episodes such as a big Mississippi Flood scene, a forest fire, etc. The magnitude of Charles Ray's production of "The Courtship of Myles Standish" has warranted the holding of this super-feature a third week at Grauman's Million Dollar Theater. "The Days of the Mayflower" the atmospheric prologue which has caused considerable favorable comment will also be retained, as also will the special musical program. Marking a new departure in almost every element that goes to make up a motion picture, "A Woman of Paris" continues its showing to sold out houses at the Criterion Theater. Charles Chaplin's first screen drama, in which he does not himself appear, has taken the lead as the most sensational production of the cinema. Kdna Purviance is the featured member of the cast. She plays the role of Marie St. Clair, the toy of Pierre Revel, wealthy Paris bachelor, and acted by Adolphe Menjou. The third member of the triangle, John Millet, is played by Carl Miller. Others in the cast are Lydia Knott, Charles French, Clarence Geldcrt, Betty Morrissey and Malvina Polo.
