Never before has the screen touched with such beauty and such dramatic force a subject which finds an echo in the life of every one of us. It is a masterpiece of a new type—a presentation of life as it really is, with its moments of great joy and flashes of exquisite pain. Daily Perform~ ances, Continu- ous, 10:30 A. M. to 11 P.

The largest setting ever constructed at the Metro studios at Hollywood, Cal, a patio, with a las garden in the center of which i pool, was made for Bert Lytell new picture, “Lady Fingers.” The tio is sur- rounded by a cloister walk, with vined archways. Ggorge Seigmann, the chief villain in . “Shame,” recently shown in New York, was the German spy in Griffith’s “Hearts of the Worl in “The Fall other times & North American out- n | law, a South American revolutionist, a Southern mulatto, and a knight of King Arthur's court. *The Son of Wallingford” is to be released in October, according to an- nouncement. Mr. and lln. George the continuity, ture, directed it, cut t, and evVen the art titles were made nmlar their direction. The result is said to be a story screened exactly as if the authors were writ- ing it, except that the authors are using pictures instead of words.

Goldwyn thinks the public wants new faces In screen work and says there is room in the industry for new blood—young men and young women of good looks and ability who have screen personality and can act. Gold- ‘wyn is reducing expenditures and incidentally salaries, with a watchful eye, so he says in a recent announcement. A Rita Weiman, author of the play. “The Acquittal” and of the photo- play, “The Grim Comedian,” finds that actors and actresses of the stage are striving more and more to acquire the subtleties of their art which they, have seen their confreres of the silver sheet employ. This means, she says, they are trying to tell with o bodily pose and expression of physi- ognomy what formerly required speeches to convey to the au- Briefly, that is the language’ required for writing for the screen.

Some of her performances were as Ophelia, in “Hamlet”; Desde- mona, in “Othelo”; Constance, in “King John"; Juliet, in “Romeo and Jullet” and Rosalind, in “As You Like It~ “Much as I have enjoyed my screen career,” she says, “to me there is always lacking the beauty of the lboken vird. = “In_Shakespeare there is constant music for the ear. In most of the modern plays, this beauty is gone. It's better to have the eloquent silence, of the screen than the banality of trifling lines.
