FOOT REMEDY CO. 2207 Millard Ave. Dept. 64 Chicago I Stage Plays That Are Worth While Readers in distant towns will do well to preserve this list for future reference. Belasco. — Lenore Ulric in "Kiki." David Belasco's production of his own piquant adaptation of Andre Picard's French farce. Miss Ulric scores one of the big hits of the season with her brilliant playing of a little gamin of the Paris music halls. You will love Kiki as you loved Peg — but differently. A typically excellent Belasco cast. Belmont — The first Theatre Guild production of the year is a drab but powerful American play, "Ambush," by Arthur Richman, who has woven his theme — the readjustment of ideals to life — into an absorbing thing. Very well played by Florence Eldridge, Frank Reicher, Katherine Proctor and others. Booth. — "The Green Goddess," with George Arliss. William Archer's adroit melodrama, revolving around a merciless rajah of a mythical land in the mountains north of India and an accident which drops two Englishmen and an English woman from an aeroplane into his power. Finely staged and. played. Broadhurst. — Lionel Barrymore in a Parisian importation, "The Claw," dealing with politics, journalism and intrigue. Mr. Barrymore's performance is far bigger than the play. Casino. — "Tangerine," with Julia Sanderson. A pleasant and entertaining musical comedy with scenes revolving between that alimony center, Ludlow Jail, and an isle in the South Seas, where the women 'do all the work. Color and tinkling music. Eltinge. — "The Demi-Virgin." Avery Hopwood's latest "thin ice farce." The locale is that modern tabloid Babylon, Hollywood, and the opus shows movies in the making. The big scene reveals a daring "strip poker" game in progress. Hazel Dawn heads the cast, but Constance Farber really runs away with the opus. Fidton. — "Liliom," the Theatre Guild production of the Franz Molnar "legend." A remarkable and brilliant satire, tinged with the Old World cynicism of Molnar. Moves between the here and the hereafter, with a scene in the beyond. Eva Le Gallienne stands out of the cast, while Joseph Schildkraut plays the name part. Dudley Digges is an excellent Sparrow. Well worth seeing. Garrick. — The Theatre Guild's second bill of the season, numbering two French adaptations, "The Wife With a Smile" and "Boubouroche." Arnold Daly is visiting star in both. Harris. — "Six-Cylinder Love," with Ernest Truex. The season's biggest sellout and a real hit. Presenting the amusing problems of a young couple trying to live up to their car. Plenty of laughs. Jolson's. — A new music hall, with the avowed intention of following in the footsteps of Weber and Fields. The first revue, "Bombo," is nearly all Al Jolson, altho there are pretty girls aplenty. The Hart sisters stand out of the ensemble. Klaw. — "Lilies of the Field," with Marie Doro starred and Norman Trevor fea The Magazine's List of Plays and Revues You Should See "The Circle" "Anna Christie" "The Silver Fox" "Ambush" "The Music Box Revue" "Liliom" "Kiki" tured. Another flip and slangy "gold digger" play. Lyric. — "The Three Musketeers," The United Artists presents Douglas Fairbanks in the famous D'Artagnan role of the Dumas story. Undoubtedly Doug proves himself in this attractive special production. Maxine Elliott's — "The Silver Fox," with William Faversham. An admirable comedy by Cosmo Hamilton, written with keen satire and humor. Of a blundering author, a philandering wife and an idealistic poet. Splendidly acted by Violet Ke-mble Cooper, who scored last season in "Clair de Lune." Mr. Faversham, Lawrence Grossmith, who gives a portrayal of superb sublety ; Ian Keith and Vivienne Osborne. Music Hall. — Irving Berlin's "Music Box Revue." The biggest musical hit of the year and a fastmoving entertainment, studded with clever comic hits. The fine cast includes Sam Bernard, Willie Collier, Florence Moore, Wilda Bennett, Mr. Berlin himself, Mile. Marguerite, Emma Haig and Rose Rolanda. The staging is a credit to Hassard Short. Palace.— Keith Vaudeville. The home of America's best variety bills and the foremost music hall in the world. Always an attractive vaudeville bill. Plymouth. — "Daddy's Gone A-Hunting," Marjorie Rambeau in a new play by Zoe Akins, author of "Declassee." A story of artistic Bohemia and a woman's problem. Miss Rambeau gives a splendid performance in an emotional role. Rite— "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife," with Ina Claire. A lively and more or less piquant Parisian importation, with a very daring boudoir scene. Barry Baxter stands out of the cast. Selwyn. — "The Circle," by W. Somerset Maugham. The most brilliant dramatic importation of the season. A sparkling and distinguished comedy of domestic misunderstandings, moral codes and human frailties. Finely played by Estelle Winwood, John Drew, Mrs. Leslie Carter (who makes a return to the stage in "The Circle"), Ernest Lawford, John Halliday and Robert Rendel. Dont miss "The Circle." Shubert. — "The Greenwich Village Follies of 1921." John Murray Anderson's latest revue, but not quite the equal of its two predecessors. Does not attain the heights of beauty and imagination achieved by the others, altho there are several gorgeous and colorful scenes. Still, it is 'way above the revue average. Beautiful girls move thru the glowing interludes, while the hit of the revue seems to go to Irene Franklin, altho Valodia Vestoff and others dance attractively. Times Square Theater. — Allan Pollock, in "A Bill of Divorcement." An imported English play by Clemence Dane, dealing with the British divorce laws. The story of a husband who returns after sixteen years of shell-shocked insanity and the re(Continued on page 8) lA^e
