As his leading woman in “War Paint}” Col. Mc@oy has the charm- ing Pauline Starke, who recently appeared’ with Conrad Nagel i “Sun Up” and with Antonio Mo- reno in Elinor Glyn's production of “Love's Blindness.” Karl Dane, who gained much fame for his interpretation of the role of “Slim” in “The Big Par- ade,” plays the part of Clancy, a drunken but lovable sergeant ma- jor demoted because of his love for drink. The picture was filmed in Wy- . oming under the direction of W. 8. Van Dyke, veteran director of “Westerns.” There are many big scenes in which hundreds of Indians appear. It is a real western historical pic- ture. [ "COMEDY, DRAMA AND 1 ! suofllfll:.

It has the eerie quality of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” the ro- mance of “Passion,” the pathos of “The Last Laugh,” and the melodrama of “Variety.” It is said to be full of the romance and the heart interest of the mu- sical comedy which was its source, and for which Oscar Strauss wrote some of his most charming melodies. The story and music of Oscar Strauss’ famous operetta delight- ed New York theatregoers a little more than a decade ago, and the very lightness and essence of mu- sical comedy are declared to have been recaptured for the screen. Ludwig Berger, director of “Cin- derella,” directed “The Waltz Dream.” Mady Christians, Willy Fritsch and Xenia Desni play the leading characters. Miss Chris- tians, who appeared on the Amer- ican stage in the old Irving Place Theatre, plays the part of Prin- Willy Fritsch is the dashing Count Nux, Prince Con- sort, and Xenia Desni is Franzi, the beautiful violinist, | FAMOUS AUTHOR'S | NOVEL ON SCREEN | Pro u.a ERER DCSRAE PR Following in ‘the wake of such phenomenal picture successes a3 “The Girl of the Limberlost” and “The Keeper of the Bees” comes what is perhaps the most widely read of all Mrs. Genme Stratton Porter's novels. The untold host who admire the work of this great author, the most popular writer of American letters, will welcome with open arms “Laddie,” ‘which will be seen for the first time in this community at the 1 Coliseum Theatre on Thursday.
