It Must Be Love, Coming to Orpheum Walker Whiteside, one of the very few dramatic atari of world wide reputation, will appear at the Orph-eutheatre on February 2, Wednesday evening, in Gordon Keanf thrilling melodrama, The Arabian." A1 though Walker Whiteside is famed for his interpretation of oriental characters, he has to his credit innumerable stellar roles which run the gamut of nationalities. As is well known, Walker Whiteside's youthful fyears were devoted to the portrayal of Shakespearean characters. Then he essayed romantic roles, and for a decade appeared in a round of plays such as We Are King, Heart And The Man In Black and Sword, "The Magic Melody." Every theatre goer will recall Walker Whiteside's world wide success in the late Israel Zangwill'a powerful preachment, The Mflting Pot. This play won renown for the star in both Europe and America, and was followed by many other hits such as The Typhoon, The Little Brother, The Hindu, The Master of Ballanttae, Sak'ura and Mr. Wu." In March, 1926, Walker Whiteside made an elaborate production of The Arabian, which scored an instant hit, and was presented in metropolitan renters during the bal m ance of the year. As Abd el Key, a dashing bandit of the Egyptian desert, Walker Whiteside has one of Uie most fascinating of characters to portray. The play opens in a roof top cafe in Cairo, and shifts from there to an oasis in tho distant sands, where a formidable English expedition is held up and compelled to accede to tho bandits own terms of peace. Romance vies with adventure in The Arabian, and it is said that there are thrills enough for a dozen melodramas in the three acts of the play. Miss Camelia Campbell and a superb New York cast will be seen in Mr. Whitesides support in The Arabian. Seats are now on sale at the box office.

In this human story of a New York girla struggle against the mediocrity and misunderstanding of her parents, Colleen Moore haa given to the screen a dramatic bit of life familiar to everyone who has been brought up in the midst of the crowded city. Because she wanted to have a nice home, where she could bring her friends without a feeling of inferiority, this girl, as portrayed by Miss Moore, had to sacrifice the love of her father and almost broke her mothers heart. The parents conducted a delicatessen store and lived in back of it. Certainly these well meaning citizens of two decades of American existence were not giving their daughter a fair chance in the face of all the competition the modern girl must combat in keeping real friends. IIow the girl left home for .her own ideals and found the man she loved makes a most interesting and unexpected of denouements.
