Not even state, county, city and town censor boards, nor'the lynx-eyed police, nor even the re- form league <an save it, # it doesn't keep its own eye skinned and its nose at the proper tilt for the detection of evil. The great bulk of in- coming missives that usually precede the opening of a new theatrical or moving picture season—even the moyijes are now affecting the new s€a- son just like their grown-up sister, the st;ge‘-—give_i evidence of an _en< thusiasm which it will be well to watch closely. "Enthusiasm is a fine thing for a gloomy neighborhood. All the world loves it-but the groych. From the tiny peep of the soaring lark to the voluminous song of e press agent, it can be detected broadcast in the land. And it has a'lure. In the press agent’s song it rings with an unwavering note, no matter what may be the theme. The worse the theme the more enthusiasm the press notice, until, if we yield ourselves up to it entirely, we are soonl lost in the immensity of endless joy. * ¥ k k THIS would' be fine, if we did not have to pay a penalty. The unant- mous. vote is always regretted sooner ok later, and sometimes it de- fiberately takes a flop over and gets just as unanimous on the other side, and oh, what a wail goes up from the minority! Now an overcheerful | press notice has the same kick. When the thing that "“F""d it comes along, one recalls the joy of anticipation and then, human ike, gets busy picking flaws. Some writers are so_enthusiastic over everything that when a really good thing looms in sight their vocabulary sounds shop- worn and their readers feel a distinct shock that always comes with the “let-down.” “Blessed are they that expect nothing, for they- shall not be disappointed,” may not be Scripture, but it is mighty wholesome truth. We haven't yet seen all the really great plays and picture productions that should be due with progress in the art, so, dear-old general public, let's save some of our enthusiasm for the\things yet unborn. Maybe we'll need it. A D what is true of enthusiasm is equally true of “the dumps.” -The economy of life scems to have both the sunshine and the shadow in the warp and*woof of its weave. Things are not always wholly bad sim- ply because we do not like them. They are not wholly delightful when we find a transient enthusiasm that seems to fit a particularly happy moment. It is a good thing to nurse the-middle of the road that separates extremes, to keep and to coddle a sound conservatism.in the expression of pleasure and displeasure. And, perhaps. it is also a good thing to be. conservative in the fetters we forge for humanity and its efforts in an line. The check-rein may give a graceful turn to a horse’s neck, but it is hard on the horse. and it doesn’t always improve his traveling ability. The world is not perfect: we all know it. And what is true of the world is also true of those who have prescriptions to make it better. We really do not know, positively, that they are all perfect. We do know that some of_the prescriptions leave a bitter taste in the mouth. Hence, let us all try to let heaven do a littlc work on its ewn account in the endeavor to make the world heavenly. * X * ¥ l ANITASTEWART Metropolitan ette Kayton, formerly of the Metro- politan Opera House ballet.

Lionel Atwill. ‘A LITTLE tragedy, a little com- edy, a dash of stock, perhaps & taste of revue, a little vaudeville,” all these, according to Mr. Lionel Atwill, “go to make up the truly great actor.” ‘ In line with these observations, the versatile hero of “Deburau” and “The Grand Duke” is at present taking a plunge into the two-a-day, via the Keith circult, by special permission of David_ 1elasco, who .at present con- trols his destinies. This, however, is not the first time Mr. Afwill has faced a vaudeville au- dience. Mrs. Langtry brought him to persons .go_there solely to enjoy the Areriia originally under a twelve- week contract as leading man in a play 'called “Mrs. Thompson.” It proved a failure, so Mr. Atwill played out the remainder of his contract with Mrs. Langtry In a vaudeville sketch called “Ashes.” His present sketch, “The White-Faced Fool,” is the first in_which he- has borne the brunt of the performance and the criticism. After his engagement with Mrs. Langtry h& appeared in his own pro- duction of “The Lodger,” in New York- and Chicago. Then came repertoire experience in a company organized by Geéorge Foster Platt, in such plays as “You Never Can Tell,” “Such Is Life” and several of the Schnitsler plays. Then, as leading. man for Grace George, in “Eve's Daughter” and “L'Elevation,” and later in “The. Indestructible Wife." He won an enviable reputation in a series of Ibsen plays. produced by Arthur Hopkins, including “The Wild Duck,”” “Hedda Gabler” and “A Doll's House” Following an éngagement in a play called “Another Man's - lShoe!." he was selected by Mr. Be- co as leading man for Frances Starr in “Tiger, Tiger.” Loue’y Ann Rut’edge. ] OOKS like those charming young stars of \Hollywood who were'hop- ing to be_chosen to play ‘the part 0f the lovely’ Ann ‘Rutledgs in the big incoln' picture to be made by Rock- Manager Ray at if a sultable the fair appointed.

TILL very young, yet possessing a record of stage and screen suc- cesses but seldom crowded into the litetime of the average actress, Mar- tha McGraw, who has risen from ob- scure child_parts to stardom within the span of a few short years, has jofned Garry McGarry's Garrickers and will play an important role in “A Successful Calamity.” Miss McGraw first played here with Maude Adams and the original com- pany in “Peter Pan,” in which produg- tion she had one of her most notable child parts—that of Michael. last time she visited here was with Arthur Guy Empey, in “Pack Up Your Troubles.” In addition to her successes on the road, Miss McGraw has a Broadway record, most notable, perhaps, for her engagement with John and Lionel Barrymore, in “The Jest,” at the Ply- mouth Theater. More recently Miss McGraw spent a couple of years.in moving pictures with the Famous Previous to that she was with Mary Nasl with “Twin Bed “The Country Bo cer 686," “Home Again, at the Plavhouse; New York; with Violet Hemming, in other stage successes. She also play- ed with the original all-star reper- toire cast at the New Theater, New York. Her first experience was at the Fifth Avenue Theater as a_ child with Charles Richman and Amelia Bing- ham, and later in Columbus, Ohio. Where the Money Goes | so costly? Who gets the money? Contrary to the popular belief, ac- Ilol'u' salaries are not the chief l(em_u ! ot éxpense; as a recent analysis of & single day's cost is said to have con- clusively proved. In order that this test might be made under the fairest possible con- ditions, one of the most expensive day's work ever recorded was select- ed—the filming of the Roman bac- chanal, in Cecil B, De Mille's produc- tion of “Manslaughter.” Engaged in this work were Thomas Meighan, Leatrice Joy, Lojs Wilson, John Miltern and Casson Ferguson. The total salaries of this galaxy of talent amounted to .less than one- thirtieth of the sum. expended on that day! Salaries to i\e¥s: under con- tract for the pictur, yet not engaged in the particular -day's werk, -but listed under the heading of “talent Tetalning,” amounted to only a one- hundred-and-twentieth part of the total for the day! A further examination® brought to |light the fact-that the "largest sin- gle item for the day was costumes. Slightly more than one-sixth of the entire amount. went for- the making and renting of costumes? - =4 Another - copsiderable item. was: the salaries paid to the minor actors. In the Roman bacchanal the roll-call of this group numbered more- thin 300, including such -well known g:yn as {Clgreace “Burton, ‘Kala Pasha, Theo- doPe ‘Von .Eltz, Vera Sisson, Patricia Palmier, Julanne Johuston,-Cliffor Gray, Waiter Long and Raymond Nye. At included ‘also a ballet of 100. dsncing girls, who had-been specially drilled for days before.by Theodore Kosloff, famous Russian dancer and actor. This small army carried eway slight- ly more than one-tenth of the entire amount spent. ; 7 But {t was ‘the cost of costuming this huge group that contributed the largest- amount fo the . .sum - total. These costumes ranged from the gor- geous gown of black: velvet, gold and pearls worn by- Leatrice Joy .to the fur and claw ornamented costumes of the barbari from' the gladiators' rians: armor . to the beautiful but abbrevi- ated costumes of the dancing girls. Every costume was designed espe- clally for-and fitted to the individual who wore it. There was nothing of the’ ‘stock wardrobe in thia entire scene.

At the currenf rate <f four ents a foot, the cost of the film be- fore exposure, it is not difficult to rétkon the amount. Multiply this by two and the result is the salary drawn by the combined crew of photog- raphers who used the film. Another twentieth of the total cost was expended on the construction of the stage setting itself—a consider- ably larger sum than that earned by the stellar players in the cast. Ani- mals contributed materially to the cost of the entire episode. Two tigers alone drew “salaries” of $250 per week, collected and presumably spent by their trainer. A dozen horses, led by a magnificent and high-spirited. stallion, . received as much for their services as many’ of the human actors. i The stallion; ridden by Thomas Meighan, was pald a salary of $200. So valuable is this antmal that it w: necessary to insure him and the in- surance cost $25 more than the sum Ipald for the horse.
