minding the babies, Abe Jones wasn't
there as all. Back from France a
hero, Abe found his town in the grip
of a female political ring and his job
in the hands of a trousered woman.
Whereupon he declared another war!
That war is the basis of the smash

The new Emerson-l.oos picture is a

One of the Most Faseinating and Daring Playsin
Many Months Will Draw Packed Houses All
Week.
An entertaining story of night life
in New York is told in “The Delicious
Little Devil,” starring Mae Murray,
which opens at the Tudor on Menday,
to be seen all week. "“The Delicious
Little Devil” is a story of a girl of
the teneinents, who invents an -
savory past in order to qualify as a
dancer at a notorious roadhouse. §he
gets the place and revels in luxury for
a while, but souvn—in a literal sense—
her past finds her out
Various suitors appear to woo the
supposed adventuress, including one
who is really desirable. Nat{mlly
this last, played by Dudolphd De
Valentina, g there at the finish to see
that the girl comes to no harm. But
before that occurs the action passes,
through a startling series of come
plications that hold interest through
out.
“Phe Delicious Little Devil” is from
a story by Harvey Thew and John B.
Clymer, for which the former wrote
the scenario. Robert Z. leonard di
rected with his usual skill.
In the cast, beside Miss Murray and
De Valentina, who was' formerly Joan
Sawyer's dancing partner, are wil
liam V. Mong, Harry Rattenbury,
Richard Cummings, Ivor McFadden,
Betram Grassby and Edward Jobson.
Mae Murray, the star, first wom
e
work of conflictiug desires Rex Beach
infuses power and reality and pathos.
The latter comes from a little, old blind
Frenchwoman, Mere Felice (Gertrude
Claire). She sits patiently in a small
back room waiting for her son whom
she ‘has not seen in years. By all odds
Mere Felice is the most appealing char
acter in the play.
Her most poignant moment comes
when her niece, Madelon Dorette (Hed
da Nova), brings to her a young man
whom she believes to be Mere Felice's
son, This is accomplished in an ex
tremely adroit way, characteristic of
Rex Beach when evolving a tale of mys
tery and intrigue. The girl has mingled
with the merrymakers to keep an ap
pointment with Mere Felice's son, whom
she has never seen. He is a fugitive
from justice and can only meet her
while masked. Atfthe same tirtae anoth
er man, Roland Van Dam (Owen Moore)
happens to wear the wlentifying device
chosen by Mere Felice's son—a garde
nia.
It is this flower that later becomes
erimsoned with blood and gives the play
its name. Mere Felice's son is murder
ed, but her blindness causes her to
dwell in the happy realization that he
has returned to her.

« il Get Him Yet
fame as a star of the Ziegfeld Follies
Before entering pictures she was one
of the best known dancers on Broad
way. It need hardly be said that as
the cabaret dancer in “The Delicious
Little Devil” she is entirely in her
element Miss Murray says the play
is remarkahly true to life as she
knows it
“lveryone assumes that a dancer
or chorus girl must be off-color,” she
remarked. “l.et me say right here
that many a self-respecting girl is
earning an honest living for herself,
and often for those dependent on her,
in the chorus or cabaret. Puttig up
with the slurs and insults of those
who generalize from particular in
stances is one of the conditions of the
job. Some of the finest women | have
ever met, true women in every sense
of the ‘word. are dancing for a liv
ing.” 1
Miss Murray, despite her pro
nounced success as a dancer, decided
that pictures offered a better oppors
tunity. She accepted an offer to be
come a star, and appeared in several
productions before signing a con
tract with Universal.
.In the last of these, “A Mormon
Maid,” she made the acquaintance of
Robert Z. Leonard, who directed the
picture. They became fast friends,
e
presented in a first-run five-reel drama,
“Silent Strength,” which is sure to be
a big drawing card among the many
followérs of this greatly liked film idol.
On Friday, pretty little Mary Miles
Minter, with her charming smile, will
be geen in “The Intrusion of Isabell,”
in which the diminutive star is sure to
bring joy to all who see her. Satur
day's program is a combination of thrills
and laughs -

of a regular female woman.
But he found mother and “her™ and almost all the girls he knew
wearing trousers. Ihey were also running the town, while the men
nursed the babies. And “she” had stolen his job!
So “Little Abe” declared a new war against a new tyranny.
