ARTCRAFT THEATRE.
When youth calls to youth, the marrying of May with December becomes a travesty. Such is the development in
"Wild' Youth," the Stuart-Blackton-Piiramount drama showing to big houses at the Artoraft Theatre. Louise Huff, as the girl married to an old man (played by Theodore Roberts) is at her best, and in her scenes with her young lover (Jack Mulhall in the role) she rises to fine heights. The conflict between youth and age is especially suitable for tho introduction of an artistic series of scenes, which present the dances as a representation of Youth, while Old Age is portaryed by Gustav Seyfferitz and Adele FarringtoH. The Gilbert Jarker novel makes a charming screen play, a. feature of which is the acting' of James Cruze as an old Chinaman. The piece abounds in sensation, has, a quaint Western setting, and is wholesome and interesting. There are other supports, and the musical interludes are tuneful and pleasing.
