CC An excellent vehicle for the languorous charm of Dolores Costello
~^?he HEART of

HP? I n
IHE Heart of Maryland" was just made for Dolores Costello. No, it wasn't, either; it was made for Mrs. Leslie Carter. But Dolores is the ideal Maryland Calvert, suh, of the younger generation. It takes a lot of pull to swing from that old bell, and Dolores has it. You saw the good old play, didn't you. You didn't? Oh, I beg your pardon. Of course you didn't; how silly of me. I didn't, either. On the other hand you must have sat on Great'uncle Ernest's knee when he told all about it, and in that case you know it's the story of the southern belle wooed and won by a little blue boy. Torn 'twixt love and duty, when her northern lover escapes, Maryland clings to the clapper of the bell that should sound the warning to the Confederates, and saves the day for the hero and the Union. Just break that news to mother, will you?
Just the same, the David Belasco play stands up for itself. It has romance and intrigue, and it's an excellent vehicle for the languorous charms of Miss Costello. (Not so languorous, at that, when she swings on that bell.) She is well supported — the belle, not the bell — by such

sterling actors as Jason Robards, Warner Richmond, Erville Anderson, and Carrol Nye. Especially, as far as I'm concerned, by Carrol Nye. He may not be as sterling as the others, but he rings true to me. Carrol plays the heroine's brother; but oh, how I'd like to see him play the heroine's boy friend!

^hrow away those plus-fours, boys, and take your ice-cream trousers out of moth-balls. From
now
on, white pants will be de rigeur for sports of all sorts; and I'm sure you'll want to keep right up with the dernier cri. (The French is just stuck in to fool you. Don't pay any attention to it.) In other words, Johnny Hines steps out as a fashion expert in "White Pants Willie". He also exhibits something pretty new and nifty in the line of animated jokes. There are lots of fresh, clean laughs in his latest — as nice and fresh as those pants.
Seems that Willie Bascom believed in learning his business from the ground up — he worked at changing tires in a garage. But on the side the bright boy was an inventor,
and all he needed was a chance to show off his magnetic bumper and at the same time, his beautiful, spotless trousers. But when he was mistaken for a famous polo player he proved he was no snob by getting on a horse and playing polo as it was never played before. The game and the girl are his, and his home-town celebrates by turn' ing out in white pants to a man, while the girls just turn out in white. That polo game is good for a dozen hearty, he-laughs; while a scene at a soda-fountain will bring out all the girlish giggles. Leila Hyams is a pretty heroine, and Johnny is not only funny — he also proves himself an ingratiating guy. And wait till you see his goose! No, it isn't cooked. Fooled you again!
