AMUSEMENTS AND MEETINGS

THE DUCHESS THEATRE, ARAMOHO. Marion Davies’ success in such excellent productions as “Lights of Old Broadway,” and “The Red Mill,” has been more than duplicated in her latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring vehicle, “Tillie the Toiler,” which is showng at the Duchess Theatre this afternoon at the matinee and again to-night. The new picture is based on the wellknown comic newspaper cartoons, “Tillie Toiler,” and Miss Davies, with her supporting cast of well-known players interpret the role of Russ Westover’s caricatures in a droll and comical manner. Miss Davies is delightful in the title role, and as the frivolous, but lovable little stenographer she has a suitable outlet for her comedy talents. Matt Moore, George K. Arthur, Gertrude Short, Harry Crocker, Bert Roach, George Fawcett. Claire McDowell, Estelle Clark, and Arthur Hoyt are included in the cast. The supporting items are xecellent.
