. 'NEWS OF THE THEATRES TERS HELP GEORGE' WALSH AT REX TOMORROW The “Hudson Dusters” of New + Work City have their own ideas of reéalism. in moving pictures. = It wds during the filming of “From Now On,” the underworld melodrama Tecéntly- completed by William Fox and which ;enters on a run at the : z& ‘theatre tomorrow and Wednes- that the “Hudson Dusters” de- clded: to show how scenes of the anderworld should be filmed. ‘The sompany, headed by George Walsh, Fox star, was at work on a scene showing a “crashing.” As near as jts” meaning can be translated, a “ ing” means a raid on another gang, & free-for-all fight, or a holdw " up, on an extensive scale. 7 “You blokes is all wrong!” de- clared a cauliflowered individual ifter watching the filming of the ac- tion with disgust. “They ain’t nobody . going out tuh crash nothin’ carryin’ gats in their pockets. S’posin’ a dick stops yuh—foist thing yuh know yuh doin’ time up the river.” i Understanding from this that he Had violated a rule which advises sgainst the carrying of weapons by gunmen about to get busy, Walsh Yequested further information. ' “Sure!” the man agreed. ‘“Yuh don't carry no gat until yuh ready fer the crashin’. Then the gat's slipped yuh. An’ it ain’t no plain gat—it’s got a cord tied tuh the butt so’s: when yuh through with it, yuh sling it around yuh head an’ gend it kitin’ over the roofs. Then the, cops ain’t got nothin’ on yuh, *cause unless yuh ben pumpin’ the ®at they ain’t no evidence agin’ yuh. wee?” . SHRLEY MASON AT THE REX BEGINNING THURSDAY " Lively interest has been aroused Dby Shirley Mason's latest picture to ‘be presented here, not only because of ‘the success recently attained by this young Fox star in ‘‘Her Ele- phant Max,” “Love's Harvest” and “The Little Wanderer,” but also be- cause of'the world renown of the play in which she is to appear. This is: “Merely Mary Ann,” the great stage success by Israel Zangwill. It has been made into a motion picture By Fox Film Corporation, and will be shown at the Rex theatre beginning Thursday. = ° *“Merely Mary Ann’ tells the story of a poor little mald-of-all-work in a cheap London boarding house, who fell in love with one af the boarders, a musician who had given up a for- {une and ease for his art. Later on Mary Ann showed that she was will- ing to give up a fortune for his love. Miss Mason, it is said, never has had a better fitting or more appealihg *“'The leading man is Casson Fergu- #on, and the cast also contains the well known names of Harry Sping- ler, George Woodthorpe, Babe Lon- don and “Kewpie” Morgan. The di- tection is by Edward J. Le Saint. UNREAL IS MADE REAL THRU ACTRESS' MAGIC ART Marjorie Rambeau in the picturiza- tlon of “The Fortune Teller,” the Broadway success in which the earn- ed the title of the foremost dramatic actress on the American stage, will be seen for the last time at the Elko theatre tonight. She is assisted by a notable cast, including E. Fernandez, who played the heavy in the stage ‘production. At the name of the picture—a Rob- ertaon-Cole Super-Special—indicates the heroine (Miss Rambeau) is a far- tune teller. She reads what the cards sy at first for her own amusement, dut when the cards repeatedly fortell trouble and eventually the prophecy comes true she becomes a profes- sional fortune teller, a “‘seeress.” It {8 while she is following her pro- fession that an exigency arises where her psychic powers are actually put to the test. How she meets the test remains for the picture to reveal, but it may be said that the revelation cannot fail but make a strong im- pression on the spectator, an impres- sion that remains even after he has left the theatre. Many “big moments” of the play hinge on psychic phenomena. But eoupled with this subject upon which 80 many articles have been written and which has been so meticulously explained by Sir Oliver Lodge, the British scientist in his lecture tour of America, i3 one that is deeper but easler to understand—mother-love. TREAT FOR ARBUGKLE FANS— ' “FATTY” IN A BIG FEATURE Admirers of Roscoo Arbuckle, the big, good-natured comedian who won fame in Paramount-Arbuckle com- edies, will be interested to learn that he is now a Paramount star in feat- ure pictures, his first appearance he- ing as the fat sheriff known'as “Slim" over, in George Melford's seven- reel production of “The Round Up,” which ‘will be shown at the ‘Eiko theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mr, Arbuckle proves in this pic- ture that he can do serious mimetic work as well as slap stick comedy. His role in “The Round Up” is one that calls for the best dramatic work ©of which Mr. Arbuckle is capable, but he acquaints himself with artistic snccess. It is a fitting debut of the comedian in feature pictures and much may be expected from his in the same line in future. As a stage success, ‘““The Round Up” proyed a premier attraction and its picturizationr with Mr. Arbuckle in the stellar role promises to be no less popular. The story is dramatic, ; humorous and thrilling, the various i roles are portrayed by artists and the Bhotography 1y excellent. % MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, X ¥ 1920, I“PEACEFUL VALLEY” AT REX * THEATRE/TODAY. LAST TIME Once more Charles Ray has demon- strated in the delineation of socalled | rube characters he is by, far the peer of all motion picture stars. This time he proves his superior talent as a portrayer of “hick” parts in a delightful celluloid version of Sol Smith Russell’s greatest stage hit, “Peaceful Valley,” which i§ the at- traction at the Rex theatre;today. Ray takes the part of Hosiah Howe, a hard-working farmer lad of happy disposition, with a widowed mother and little sister to provide for. ‘It is no exaggeration to say that in this role he has contributed to the screen a character that ranks as one of the most noteworthy achievements of the silent drama. The photoplay is filled with hu- mor and pathos, with a spirit of op- timism predominating. It is one of those clean-cut, wholesome cinema productions that never fail to leave an audience thoroughly refreshed. ‘Ward Andrews, handsome city chap, i who lives by his wits, gets an option on the unproductive Howe farm when he realizes that its nasty tasting wa- ter will some day make the owner wealthy. Attracted by pretty little Martha Howe, he easily turns. the girl’s head and induces her to elope with him. P Hosiah, in the meantime, has be- come greatly infaturated with the beautiful Virginia Rand, who is stop- ping at the nearby summer hotel with her father.” The embarrassing situation in church which results when Hosiah’s dog runs up the aisle with a great rope dangling at hig neck only in¢reases Virginia’s in- terest in the {good natured, honest looking farmer. Hoslah’s romantic dreams vanish when he learns of the disappearance of his little sister. His quest for Martha in the great city is in vain, and he goes back to the farm when the last of his money is spent. But the next season the Rands and Andrews return to the summer hotel. Virginia sees Hosiah working as a waiter and greets him warmly in spite of the peril to the dishes he is holding aloft in a tray. She even ¢ances with him to the astonishment of all present. In this dance scene Charles Ray, as the farm- er-waiter gives a side-splitting ex- hibition of the terpsichorean art. ‘Weary and heartbroken, ' Martha starts- for home, loses courage and throws herself into a pond. Hoslah arrives just in time to save her. Later in a clash with Andrews, Ho- siah sees the scar on his antagonist’s arm and guesses the truth. At this point the famous Ray wallops comes into play and the evildoer is com- pletely vanquished. His efforts to ob- tain the valuable Howe farm and to force Virginia to marry him by com- promising her are also thwarted. And Hosiah's faithful dog, “Whisk- [ ers,” proves an artful go-between for the machinations of Dan Cupid. 'FAMOUS BEAUTY'S FIRST .. APPEARANCE AT GRAND The Crockers, newlyarrived in the multi-millionaire class, were mighty glad to get the beautiful Russian ‘Countess and the distinguished Eng- lish nobleman to come to théir house party. The Countess and the noble- man were glad to come, partly be- cause they loved each other, partly because each had a secret errand to that gorgeous palace; each had come determined to steal the host's $200, ' 000 Old Master, a world famous pic- ture of the Madonna. Each believed the other honest, and each grew ashamed of being a thief, determined that this should be the last time. Then another thief arrives, gives them both away, and prison doors seem yawning before them, when the millionaire's poor relation takes a hand at the game. corking battle of wits, a tense drama of love and re- generation. Such is the daring and novel story ‘“‘Blackbirds” chosen for Miss Jus- tine Johnstong’s first appearance in Motion pictures, “Blackbirds,” with Fatty Arbuckle in “Love”, will be the attraction at the Grand Theatre tonight and Tuesday.

(By Mail.;—Marshal Foch, who two years ago, November 11, received the surrender of the German armies at Rethondes in Com- peigne Forest, today holds the theor- retically imposing position of mili- tary adviser to the world. His official title is ‘‘president of the Interallied Military Commission of Versailles.” This body is a con- tinuation of the old Supreme Com- mand of the war. Its function 1is to act as general clearing house for all military affairs touching the form- er Allies. It includes representatives from all the former belligerents ex- cept the United States and the Cen- tral powers, and holds frequent meet- ings in Paris, Behind the little blue sign “Etat- Major de Marechel, Foch,” at 34 Boulevard de Courcelles, the con- querer of Germany sits at his office desk every morning from 10 until noon and every afternoon from 2:30 until 5! His aides report he is busy most of the time—reading telegrams from military attaches of Allied na- tions in various parts of the world, conferring with military representa- tives of various powers, preparing. re- ports for the Council of Ambassadors when military counsel is needed, giv- ing advice to some of the younger Al- lies now carrying on little wars of their own, etc. . From time to time he quits Paris to accompany. the premier of France as general military adviser at one of the conferences of prime ministers which have been one of the new feat- ures of European diplomacy since the war.

Foch’s relation to the French army is the same as it. was during the lat- ter part of the war. Being head of the interallied military staff he is barred from active command in any of the national armies, but free .to give advice whenever required. : In addition to his professional du- ties, Marshal Foch has a secondary but rather time-consuming “ceremon- ial” role\which frequently calls him away from his family hearth to speak at. Inter-allied or French memorial services, International dinners, corn- er-stone layings and the like.
