QUEKN—I have never had a ter-
rible lot of admiration for Ben Lyon
as an actor. He has always appeared
rather insipid to me. In this picture
he receives my first word of pralaa.
He is Insipid now, but one has to give
him credit for trying.
BLUEBEARD'S SEVEN WIVES is
an usual screen play—a comedy that
is funny. Ben's sheikish lovemaking
and the influx of Ford coupes tire the
high spots of humor.
Lois Wilson looks very neat as the
young hoteake slinger and lllunche
Sweet is quite favorable in the role of
Blanche Sweet.
This week Claire Windsor and Con-
rad Xagel do their best with a trite
picture called DANCE MADNESS
which rather smacks of Elinor Cllyu
and C. B. DeMilie. Those who like
oyster cocktail and whipped cream
will lie pleased with this but those
who crave porterhouse steak and on-
ions will have a good chance to make
up some lost sleep.
ISIS- Kmii .lannings, he of the vil-
lainous. tho' childish countenance.
is one of the most efficient actors I
have ever seen. His interpretation
of Nero In this play, QUO VAD18, Is
superb. He portrays the tempera-
ment of this wicked Roman (who
was the first president of a fire in-
surance eomauy) as no other actor
has done.
The picture is stupendous but the
interest lags in several places.
CAPITOL—Adolphe Menjou look-
ing his sophlsticutedest and Florence
Vidor (the Grand Duchess of Hous-
ton) looking her beautifulest, make
charming this comedie francaise,
THE GRAND Dl'CHESS AND THE
WAITER.
Geo. M. Cohan has entertained
Broadway for a score of years. Each
year he gives a farewell performance
and then repeats it the following sea-
son (they always come back for
morel. The SONG and DANCE MAN
was his farewell play several years
ago.
Tom Moore being Irish just like
George M. and Me, has retained much
ot' the humor of the original play
and he is supported by a cast of good-
looking chorines, who are in turn
supported by a set of goodlooking
supports.

PEEP INTO HAREM i
Cheesecloth Sky Hangs Over
Shieks at Archi-Arts
Amidst the towering minarets and
domes of Bagdad, under the placid
blue of the Arabian sky. the Fifth
Annual Archi-Arts ball went over
with a bang. The hall was a riot of!
color, desert Bedouins rubbed elbows j
with Arabian potentates, dancing j
girls mingled with the regal splendor j
of princesses, and the rainbow was!
put to shame by the costumes of just j
the common Arabian camel drivers. ;
Gaily dressed couples wandered thru :
the garden of the Caliph, the orches-1
tra. dressed for the occasion, dis-
pensed Oriental airs, everything was
as if a page from the Arabian Nights
had suddenly come to life.
Entrance was thru the grotto of
All Baba into a garden of locust trees j
and bright colors. Over the walls the j
city peeped in. thru a gate in the,
wall the clink of glasses came from
the punch bowl, presided over by
"Nigger" Jack, at the other end of
the garden, in a cave were Lee's
Owls putting out the hottest music
that has ever "been heard in the Field
House. The programs were richly

engraved in Arabian design, carrying
out the theme to the most minute
point. All thru the dance pictures of
beys and their harems, sheiks and
their shrinking women, and ambassa-
dors with their stalking beauties were
being taken.
At the stroke of twelve with the
Grand March came a delightful lunch
eon at College Inn, and afterwards
the dance resumed with the temper-
ature of the music mounting higher
and higher. Towards the end when
usually the music is petering out the
Owl's got hottest, going out on the
floor while the crowd went wild.
Have been of late much pressed
by stress of publick affairs put upon
ye students by ye fackultie. But have
recovered mine customary jauntiness
and put such-like matters in ye back-
Kroundee.
Ah! Passeth my lady Marjorie
Hayes, who do dispute ye adage that
fair lady hath little mind. She did
Wringge one of the few l's from my
lord Moncado.
My lord Bellows sigheth like a
furnace. Truly it do take strategy,
generalship and what not to open ye
clutch of ye juniors on ye rupees. Be-
seems me that e'en were they not to
pursue ye muse of terpsichore at ye
Promme, they mightte digge up ye
dues for ye olde clasBe. Ye Powers
of ye Prom do vow to list in ye
publick prints ye cognomens of them
who do be in arrears.
My lord Luckey waxeth wan now
that his season of exercise do be over.
Consider thy name, Lord Luckey.
Wast thou, or wast thou not?
My lady Sarah Wallar needeth here-
in no ooaunent 81m did reoeive bar
due moat recent irt ye Ovfrlookinge
of ye Promenade, In ye Kronlcle.
Oh ho! Why sitteth dull care on ye
harried brow of my lord Hairston?
Perhaps it doth be because ye per-
surers of hie publickation do not ap-
preciate his noble effort* not to soil
ye spotless mindi of ye innocent col-
legians. Perservere, my lord, and thou
willst receive ye hand embroidered

Madame Eggert.

A man has to
use his head
to figure how
'Parker "Duofold
costs less than pens
priced lower—
Yet the wise man
doqs it, thus—
HE starts out by figur-
ing that the Parker
Duofold's 25-year Point
will outwear six or eight
cheap pens, and he doesn't
have to figure any further.
Stop at the nearest pen
counter and choose your
Point—Extra-Fine, Fine,
Medium, Broad, Stub or
Oblique. It will give you
an appetite for writing.
