The script called for exterior scenes around Sing Sing prison, which is only_a couple of hours' drive from New York city, where the company was working. The managers of the company de- bated long and serlously, and decided that the expense of sending d com- pany of three actors and staff to Sing Sing would be too great, so they crossed the river and tock the scenes at the Hackensack county jall! Last week Mr. Cain returned with the George Melford' company from Oxnard, Calif,, where as many as 400 people were encamped for two weeks, With 100 horses and camels and a complete military équipment, and Wwith. everything ‘necessary for com- fort and sanitatlon. This prodigious undertaking was necessary to screen with the proper desert atmosphere the Paramount production of “Burning Sands,” in which Wanda Hawley and Milton Sills are featured. Cutting Out Subtitles. (CoMES word trom the Goldwyn studio that Rupert Hughes is editing his latest picture, “The Bit- terness of Sweets,” in wWhich Colleep Moore and Antonio Moreno are fea- tured, with the idea of having no subtitles .at all. Hughes says it's a deal harder. to ‘write mno titles than to -write a thousand. And - that's easy to believe. Anyhow, the result of the experiment will be interesting. The only feature photoplay ever made without sub-titles was Charles Ray's “Old Swimming Hole." That picture, it will be recalled, was prac- tically without plot. The new Hughes plcture, on the other hand, is said fo contain & complicated plot, with ramifications. Richard Bennett has been engaged for the title role of “The Fool.” The play will be presented by the Selwyns early in the new season. balf-] :00 a.m. Lo Rusning time—80 misutes.

Bayne In both drama and the two-a- day. The showmen retort that Bush- man, before going Into the silent drama and being crowned “King of the Screen” at the Sun Francisco ex- position, was a legitimate actor, and a good one, having had six years of stock experience in crack companies and playing juvenile rol in “Gong Some,” “Top o' the World" and “The Queen of the Moulin Rouge.” Miss Bayne then stepped directly trom the studio to the- speaking stage without previous dramatic ex- perience, and was co-starred with Mr. Bushman by Oliver Morosco in “The Master Thiefs and “Marry the Poor Girl.” However, the Bushman- Bayne combination will headline at | | Keith's in_“Poor Rich Man,” a satiri- ical comedy-drama, which has been well received. The picture fans are Joyal to their old favorites, and the two-a-day records are often broken when: they appear.

Among the most Inter- esting of the scenes is the great “Mou iin Rou, a setting that is an exact copy of the original in Paris. The chairs, tables, woodwork, even the color in this famous cabaret, were re- placed in the s'ellirm. Over 400 per- fons were used in the scene. There were the same number of musicians, playing the same kind of instru- Iments and the same music which the orchestra of its namesake in Paris used and played. “The Snitching Hour.” ((THE SNITCHING HOUR" is rapid- ly nearing completion.

Take a veteran like W. J. Ferguson, who has been on the stage over fifty- iseven years. Ferguson, who was on Ithe stage of Ford's:Theater, in this city, " when President Lincoln was shot, ha% memorized a total of over 1.800 parts, or 1,125,000 separate lines. This is considered very close to a rec- ord, as Mr. Ferguson is one of the real veterans of the stage.

He added: “It has the individuaiity of vouth embodied in it and marks the dawn of a hetter, more sensible day of dress for women. The younger But the older women can't copy youthful styles exactly unless they would achieve rather hugorous results “We can only guess at the verdict of the interested or amused future which will view and review our dress, which will by that time have become the artistic products of a dead civili- zation. but we feel that we have brought freedom of nature to our styles.
