AMUSEMENTS.

(- EVERYBODYS PICTURES, » “ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER,” — TO-NIGHT. Girls should, be gilds, but. not for too long, in the movies, according to. Florence patrician screen star, whose orchid loveliness will be seen to-night at the Princess Theatre in “One Woman to Another,” “There is something pathetic,” says Miss Vidor, f “in the screen star who has reached the state of matronly maturity in /years, figure and bearing, continuing to play flapper, tom-boy roles that bev longs to youngsters.” Miss Vidor T makes no secret of the fact that she is over 21 years of age. College girl roles don’t appeal to her. She has logical reasons for believing that on the screen there’s a place for the mature, experienced'type such as she portrays in her present picture, arid in her last “The’World at Her Feet,” in which she was a successful woman lawyer. Almost any one .would be willing to admit that Clara Bow would' hardly be convincing as a woman lawyer. A jazzy, flappery young defendant that no jury would convict, that’s different. “The real romance in

life! is .not confined to 'flappers, male female,” says Miss Vidor. . “Men and women as old as 25 are often dominated by that primitive passion called love, and beyond callow youth love is often a more powerful, inspiring and lasting force than it is before. “It is difficult to portray experience we have never felt. The capable actress who lias lived,, and loved and lost could portray the drama of such a cycle much more accurately than the fledgling who has not. I don’t mean by that that it is necessary to have experienced' a role before it can be successfully acted. Theodor von Eltz is Miss Vidor’s leading man in her new Paramount vehicle. Frank Tuttle directed. The supporting cast includes He'Mr Maria Shot-well, Roy Sto rt. .Joyce Cmcl and Jiinsy Bondwin. A topi. '! rnd comedy will complete the display to-night. On Wednesday a grand British production starring ' Betty Balfour in “Monte Carlo.”
