«A@} PHOTOPLAY T is truly an ill wind that blows nobody good, and it is also almost be- lievable that every dog has his day. There are many good things in the world, right under our very noses, but-we never seem to see them. The world and the people, for the people are the world, seem to have but little time except for big things. It is a mistake,‘btcause often we come by chance upon a little thing that i3 a gem of pure delight buried in the bosom of mediocrity, and at other times, if we but carefully look about us, we will find real blessings clamoring for notice, but ignored day after day. Now, all this does not mean that the fellow who runs a little motion ¢ picture theater is overlooked by the onrushing throng, or that his theater es unnoticed, for it doesn’t. This big, broad land is covered with little neighborhood houses, as the trade calls them, which contribute more to the enlightenment, the entertainment and the happiness of the world at large than the big theaters and grand opera houses ever did. They are - the homes of peace, often of joy, for those who watch the change from a . dollar bill with as much solicitude as the millionaire watches his millions. * k ok % 'HE recent closing of the theaters and the general dearth of entertain- ment has directed attention more closely to the smaller moving pic- ture theaters. Has it ever occurred to you that in them you will find, a little belated, perhaps, but in all their glory, nevertheless, nearly, if not all, the big, handsome picture productions that are blazed forth in electric lights at the big theaters and eat up columns of space in the newspapers when they are shown at those theaters. Not only do you find them there, but you will also find that the cost of seeing them is very appreciably lower than when they first burst upon the attention of the.entertainment world. The manager of the little theater, also. has learned the value of slipping into his program a good comedy. sometimes a beautiful scenic picture, and often other features, though of less pretension, that make the big theater attractive. Some give time to “amateurs,” and nearly all of them pro'vldv: musical programs which, if not rendered by “symphony or- chestra: nevertheless help to soothe the ear and help along the psycho- logical effects of the story. Drop into one of these theaters once in a while and be convinced that they furnish entertainment of a higher class than some of the vaudeville shows, the cheaper “speaking stages” and the miserable musical shows that come far too irequently to the big theaters. You will find not only pleasure for yourself, but you will also be encouraging the effort of the man2gement to provide those who can- not afford higher-priced entertainment the best that can possibly be ‘drawn from the world of mimicry and the land of shadow: Entertain- ment worth while means much to everybody that has to bear his shar oi the cares and worries of life.

Elinor Glyn, the British novelist, has just had her shoes polished at a bootblaék stand, and calls the experi- ence a thrill. It isn't done in Eng- land, where rich folik have servants to polish boots, and the poor do it themselves. In Hollywood, where she is helping_out with her story, “Be- yond the Rocks,” with Gloria Swan- son as the star, boot polishing at a stand is a daily delight. A visitor to Hollywood 1s sald to have been so struck with its quiet as to like it to Flatbush, N. Y. Alice Lake, who used to go to school in the Brooklyn suburb, objected to the comi- parison, declaring, “It is ten times quieter than Flatbush—without a dance hall or a cabaret, and with jusi one pociroom and bowiing alley, ‘anc the streets deserted by 11 o'clock at night. It is more like the deep coun- try than a festive metropolis like Fiatbush.” The fascination of the sea is so gen- erally recognized that a dozen new pictures are foaming over with breakers and bounding billows. “The Seventh Day,” recently completed by Richard Barthelmess, was filmed ou and off the coast of Maine, and it Katherine MacDonald’s “The Infide!” there is a terrifying storm at sea and a ship that plunges to destruction on a coral reef.

Her professional stage career started in vaudeville, after which she shifted to the movies, playing first in Christie Comedies as a bathing girl and fea- tured comedienne. While in tomedies George Loane Tucker secured her as leading woman in “The Miracle Man,” in which she was featured with Thomas Meighan After this she made two pictures under her own company. She recently signed a five-year con- tract to star in Paramount pictures, her first picture being “At the End of the World,” directed by Penrhyn Stan- laws, the noted artist, who gave up painting to direct pictures. Her other Paramount pictures. made recently, are “The Law and the Woman,” “The Little h | Minister” and “The Green Temptation.” Miss Compson is five feet three inches tall, has light brown hair and blue eves.

This picture was the first great dramatic achievement of Rudolph ‘Valentino, now a star, and it raised Rex Ingram, its producer, to the ranks of the screen immortals.

Thursday morning at 10:30 o’clock the Palace will present, for three days only, “Love’s Boomerang,” John 5.
