...fancy and Mr. Faversham's creation is, or should be, one of the really great figures of our contemporary drama. The actor's conception of the part really cannot be praised too highly. In the first place, it is a role essentially suited to a great actor, not a star, but an actor. Though the play consists of more than three hours of solid conversation, Mr. Faversham's share in it is comparatively slight compared to the dreadful bulk.

For the movies of the evening two dramas, a six-reel Charlie Chaplin comedy and an animated "Mutt and Jeff" cartoon by Bud Fisher have been secured.

If so, the sun had better be called upon as an intermediary, to heliograph a social, "Earth, meet Mars." If the language...
About the unsocial planet the star-seekers have formulated many theories. It has red vegetation--perhaps inhabititants believe in painting the planet. It has canals, either as a means of irrigation or of lavation. If for the former purpose, it is to be hoped Mars is not so dry as Kansas.
