This sparkling comedy produced by Louis O. Macloon and staged by Lillian Albertson is quite the most di verting thing to be seen here for months. It has all the ingredients Ogden and Davis county theatre goers like, and quite a few we are not ac' customed to. Witty, farcical, and with an underlying sardonic implication which should strike terror into the hearts of all "chicken chasing husbands, "Cradle Snatchers proves very much to the liking of packed theatres in New York, San Francisco and Ioa Angeles where ia has played lorg runs and it certainly deserves it.

The dialogue ia a delight, and there is hardly a speech which does not carry aome daring declaration. While no one could accuse the play of being to lift a word from its delicious lines, "anemic, there is a careful avoidance of too much realism and, with the exception of a scene between Ethel and her boy friend in the second act, not the slightest vistage of of- Kaken out of France, and this time fensiveness.

This is unquestionably the best Barthelmess film we have seen in several years, and to us Barthelmess is screen. White Black Sheep is a tale of a gay. young Englishman engaged to a Jfiri whose chief claim to his affection is that she forms a placid mirror for the romantic idealism of the boy. When he discovers that she is a petty thief, filching money at a bridge game, the youth, in a gesture, shoulders the blame and turns into a self imposed exile in the British army in northern Palestine. There, morbidly mooding over his blighted dreams, he arouses the love of a pretty dancing girl and the hate of a desert chieftain. His adventures in .warring with one and wooing the other form the plot of one of the 'most absorbing films shown here in months. There is a picturesque desert setting, a thrilling uprising of the ArsMan tribes and a clever subterfuge which turns a possible massacre into a military victory. For a part pf the picture Dick ia disguised as a 'deaf and dumb beggar of Kefr Saba, in which he docs some remarkable acting.
