ARTCRAFT THEATRE.
The main picture at tho Artcraft Theatre is "The Garden of Eden," starting Corinno Griffith. "Tho Garden of Eden" takes its name from tho gardens of the Hotel Eden, near Monte Carlo, not from tho original playground of Biblical fame. But there is a clever parallel to the original Garden of Eden which bobs up during tho unfolding of tho talo—even to the apples and the snake. The snake, in this instance, is one Henri Glossing, admirably played by Lowell Sherman. Charles Ray has the difficult part of Richard Spanyl, opposite the star, and ho plays It In a manner which should add to his host of admirers. Louise Dresser is effective in the part of the indigent but good-hearted Baroness, while tho rest of tho supporting cast Is up to the high standard set by the principals. Miss Griffith herself has rarely given so superb a performance. It is a role eminently suited to her talents. There are excellent supports.
