ANNE" BERRYMAN RETURNS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER " i Miss Anne Berryman is here again as the leading lady in the Ralph Clon-lngStock company and she is sweeter than ever. She has received a royal reception this week upon her initial appearance for the season at the Wilkes theatre. As the adopted daughter of Robert Knowles (Ralph Cloninger) in The Triumph of X she is charming. Throwing her whole heart and soul into the role which she takes, life could never have been told in a more realistic and capable man- f- - er ner. The story of The Triumph of X is presented in four acts. In the first act is shown the drawing room of Mr. Knowles. Victor Jory a friend of the family and a professor invariably opens discussions upon lifes pathway in .which arguments Cloninger invariably takes the negative side. The 'ast life of his adopted daughter was revealed and the love proposal of Harry Jordan is featured and the plans arranged for the marriage and subsequent reception. All were happy except the father (Cloninger) who bemoaned the lpss of his daughter. . C I However, everything is changed in the second act. The young couple meet alone in the dinning room before dinner, so happy and gay. The dinner is served and the guests arrive. Phyllis (Miss Berryman) takes her first 'drink of champagne. She likes it and becomes intoxicated. Her lover forgets himself and tells her of the scan-de- l of her parents and rushes out the door. The guests are thrown into confusion. The father becomes distracted. His adopted daughter learns the truth and her heart is broken. She leaves home and for a time she is tempted to sacrifice her beautiful past life to bury the appearing gloomy future. The father lives a life of torture, but there is a reunion in which the daughter returns at a moment when the father contemplates suicide. The past is all forgotten in the happy meeting. The lover is turned down for his rashness and the love of the daughter turns to her adopted father. The pathetic scene? present by Cloninger and Miss Berryman bring the tears to many of the audience. It is probably the most fascinating play in which the two stars have ever met. The other members of the cast act their roles with force. May Roberts is interesting and pleasing and Norma Deane appears briefly but convincingly. The musical program of the Wilkes orchestra under the direction of Curg Peterson is a feature. There will be a matinee this afternoon and the final performance of The Triumph of X tonight. POLA NEGRI THRILLS AT PARAMOUNT-EMPRES- S.

This weeks play is no exception, in theme it is . different from anything previous, the musical numbers are new and original and the beauty chorus with the Orpheum Four have spec'alty numbers. The chorus are featured throughout the play with the cast. A1 Bridge is cast as a backwoods youth, whose sweetheart (Dorothy Raymond) has been sent to a fashionable boarding school to finish her . education, which has been somewhat limited. Her entrance into this school of wealth and society creates quite a stir among the snobbish ladies of fashion. Hailing from the country, her dress and manners are different from those of Milady, one girl in particular (Doro- - ORPHEUM Commencing Sunday one of the reasons why so many people went to this popular theatre to see the feature picture.
