FILMO TqOAB BEERY has been engaged to “V play the part of Adolf Valborg in the Warner Brothers’ screen version of Sinclalr Lewls' novel “Main Street, now being directed by Harry Beau- mont. The screen version of “Bras: Charles G. Norris' novel of marriage and divorce, has been completed at the west coast studios under the di- rection of Sidney Franklin. It was adapted by Jullen Josephson, and it was produced by Harry Rapf. The complete cast includes Monte Blue, Marie Prevost, Frank Keenan, Iren Rich, Harry Meyers, Miss Du Pont. Pat O'Malley, Helen Ferguson, Vera Lewls, Harvel Clark, Margaret Sed- don and Edward Jobson. Since Marie Prevost is said to have announced her engagement to Ken- neth Harlan she has classified hus- bands. “The first husband,” she says, “is he who stays home every evening, has no vices and works for a salary. The second is the atavistic master whose mistress is to worship him, nd the third is the worshiper of his wife to the exclusion of everything clse. 'This type demands an emotional actress for a wife.

Roth will be released as Universal Jewels. Almost three blocks of cobblestone pavement have been laid down in the zets for “The Hunchback of Notre Tame,” which is being constructed at Universal City. Every resource of mov- ing picturs ingenuity is being expended, it is claimed, to make this production as complete_a visualization of Victor Flugo's story as possible. Universal players started this week on a new type of moving picture serial. Tt is called “The Phantom Fortune.™ The story deals with big business, throwing a highly exciting story over against a background of business prob- lems. Unlversal's pioneer efforts in the educational-historical field have inspired this new bit of ploneering. William Desmond will be the star. Since production on “Drifting.” the big Willlam A.

She was Mrs. Broken Horn, wife of the chief.

Fieiie .In 1847 Brigham Young left “bulle- tins of the plains” on the way to en- courage or direct others who might come later. He wrote on buffalo skulls and left them at prominent points on the route. One of these, signed by Young, reposes in the Salt e Commercial Club, and by cour-. tesy of that organization, James Cruze was able to obtain the relic for use In “The Covered Wagon.” Theodore Kosloft found a new use for the little collar buttons they stick in shirts at Jaundries. He introduced them as gopher teeth while playing the role of a caveman in the prehis- toric sequence of Cecile B. De Mille's production, “Adam’s Rib." Studio electricians do remarkable things at times. During the filming of one of Cecil B. De Mille's Para- mount productions it was found im- possible to make an owl stand still on the branch of a huge tree in pre- historic forest scenes. Finally one of the electricians suggested that owls sleep in the day time, 80,3 spot- light was turned on this one. It did the trick. Ernest Luz, musical director of the Loew theaters, has arranged a spe- cial musical embellishment for the Douglas Fairbanks, in which opens at the . This embellishment will be interpreted by the Columbia Symphony Orchestra under the direc- tion of Mr. Leon Brusilof.

Viola Dana was a farmer-girl. for a day during the filming of “Love in the Dark,” but, it is sald, she sur- prised a number of her associates with her abflity to milk a feat some of them discovered was not so easy as it looks. Ashley Abendschein last week was appointed to the position of assistant manager of Crandall's Metropolitan Theater, to fill the vacancy occasion- ed by the promotion of Willlam V. Broyles to the managership of Cran- dall’s Central Theater. Mr. Abend- schein was previously a member of the house staff under Fallas Broche, manager. Z ‘The character prologue being pre- sented in conjunction with the Wash- ington presentations of First Na- tional's production of “Oliver Twist, starring Jackie Coogan, has created a great deal of ‘audience interest. Eight of the famous characters of the book are posed upon the ‘stage, one at a time, with the lad imperson- ating Oliver the last to appear. This little shaver, who bears an astonish- ing likeness to Jackie Coogan, is Billy Thomas, son of a well known Washington film man. He is Zreeted at every performance by rounds of applause.

America’s Future in Music. IKOLAT SOKOLOFF, conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, holds an idea that America some day will ive to the world the greatest muslo it has ever known. In & little way Mr. Sokoloff is both a dreamer and a mystic. These at- tributes, planted on = substantial foundation of acadentic learning and s prodigiously wide reading, make an equipment which bolsters his musictanship, and, it 1s claimed, places him among the foremost of orchestra leaders. ‘With the symphonic literature of the world at his fingers ends, he still sees the great music of the future emanating from the land which adopted him. “Already In America the symbols of great spiritual progress can be glimpsed,” he says. “The natlon has =rown €0 rapidly and fts purpose has %o swerved and swirled in tho effort to assimilate exotic bloods, that the road ahead to a great native art ex- nression of music had been lost to sight, - The war focalized our interest and e thought of ourselves again as an entity with the stress of the ploneer struggles passed two genera- tions ago. No other people has a more abundant leisure. Out of this should come great writing, great music_and a great painted art.” In Cleveland Mr. Sokoloff is rapidly transiating his dream into reality. For five vears, ever since he came to the desk, the Cleveland Orchestra has gone into the schools of Cleve- land and adjacent cities. It is more important that our children hear great music than that we hear it, he believes. Thers are not many school children in Cleveland who have not heard the orchestra, and these congerts are put on at an expense of $60,000 a year, which the sponsors of the orchestra meet. Out of this early contact with the music the world elected to call worthy will come another value into the 1ife of the future citizen, the need for beauty, and the assu..nce, when the time comes to wrestle with the world for a livelihood, that all is not_hard and dull and undecora. tive. In fact, the child with the love for great music added to his scholas- tic equipment, will have little P tience with ugliness of any sort—| his life, his gome or his clly—ut Sokoloft contends. Will They Be Good Now? TB'B theatrical press representatives of New York have formed a per- manent organization, with almost aixty members.

Mr. De Mille was blown into the water in a shower of blaz- ing gasoline and had to swim to the rescue of his mechanic, Al Fear, who was rendered unconscious by the force of the explosion. The speed boat, which was launched only a few weeks ago, was totally destroyed.

On January 7 he left Los Angeles for Chicago, where he is scheduled to make a personal appearance in the new McVickers Theater, but that will be only an incident in the trip.

That night they will leave Syracuse for New York to spend three day: On the 16th Mr. and Mrs. Hiers will leave for Savannah, Ga. where the Paramount star spent most of the younger years of his life, but the stay will not be a long one, as he is scheduled to be back in Los Angeles on the 24th to start work in another picture.

BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. THE sprightly Duncan sisters, dis- carding baby clothes and ways, surprised the audiences at Keith's I week by appearing in afternoon frocks, which they recently brought from Paris. It seemed strange to see them “all grown up,” Rosetta’s fa- mous skinned knee veiled by a long skirt, and Vivian's curly bobbed hair minus its huge ribbon bow, but they were as full of.fun as usual, and san and played some of their baby songs as well as & number of new ones, It must be admitted, too, that their sowns were_far more attractive than the jumpers of pipk and blue ging- ham, with the big sashes of white or- gandy. Miss Vivian Duncan appeared in pearl grey satin trimmed Wwith appliqued roses of pink ribbon. The in basque fashion, with a rounded neck and no sleeves. The skirt, which was very wide, flured at the hips because several rows of cording stiffened its soft satin folds. Additional rows of —cording circled the lower part of the skirt, holding it out in true crinoline man- ner. A trellis of the large satin roses fell almost the entire length of one side of the skirt, while single flowers were “dotted at Intervals Photoplays This Week (Continued from Third Page.) companiment as well as an overture.

In ad- dition to_thrilling scenes depicting the hazardous business of quelling the flames and saving human life, the picture features a strong love inter- est and a succession of dramatic cli- maxes. It is not in any sense a propa- ganda picture, but was written by Emilie Johnson and produced by P. A. Powers for screen entertainment. A vocal number will be sung by one of the capital’s most prominent tenors, and the bill will include short-reel subjects and pipe organ offerings by Jack Griffith. Thursday and the remainder of the week will be shown Rex Ingram's production for Metro of “Trifling Women,” featuring Lewis Stone, Bar- bara La Marr and Ramon Navarro, with short-reel and musical embel- lishments.

The prin- cipal roles_are played by Charles Richman, Barbara Castleton and Peggy Shaw. Charles Richman does the finest work of his screen career as the crazed husband who learns, after her death, of the perfidy of his wife and seeks to wreak vengeance upon his innocent daughter. Minor films and pipe organ accompaniment are announced. ‘Wednesday and Thursday Charles Ray will be pic- tured in his camera version of “A Tailor-made Man,” wi n _Aesop Fable and other short reels.

Two long silver rib- bons fell from one shoulder and ex- tended below the walst line at the back of the frock to add the final touch of trimming. Rosetta Duncan’s gown was of jade green velvet, effectively ornameiited with flowers and lace. The bodice was cut with a square neck, and included wide shoulder straps, for, of course, there were no sleeves. The skirt had rounded apron-like panels at the front and back, and long circular side ipleces scalloped at the lower edges. Ribbon flowers, in shaded tones of rose, blue and gold, were appliqued on the front panel, reaching almost to the girdle at one side, but stopping r on the other. The girdle itself was cxceptionally interesting. It was fashioned from a rather wide fold of gold lace and, instead of belng crushed around the waist, i the lace was gathered into a bouffant flounce, which veiled the velvet like a miniature overskirt. Then at the side back the two ends were knotted into a careless bow, which drooped its golden meshes half way the| | length of the skirt.

'VA LE GALLIENNE, daughter of the world renowned poet, Rich- ard Le Gallienne, who will be seen here in her original role of Julle, in “Lilifom,” impersonates the inno- cently ignorant little Hungarian servant girl who worships “Liliom” with an undying. but unexpressed love. It is just another type char- acterization which places her among jthe very first of young character actresses and again illustrates her appagently unlimited talent to create distinctive roles, In her successful but brief career Miss Le Galllenne has played many parts, and never has she been identi- fled with the type of player who speclalizes. Her career has been con- tinued variety, for she has never {played the same sort of role in two successive productions. yet each time she startles her. audiences by her work. Her performance in “Liliom" has been called a gem of artlstically human characterization. Miss Le Gallienne was born in Lon- don twenty-two years ago. Her mot was Julle Norregaard, the poet’s second wife, and a noted Jour- nalist of Paris and London. When five years old, she went to Paris to live with her mother, was educated in French private schools until she was fifteen, when her mother and she returned to London. Endowed {by nature with both ability to write and paint, Miss Le Galllenne decided to tempt fate in a career in which she was rather doubtful of her own t: instead of following in the beaten path of her parents, which e been so much simpler California’s wxm Mary Pickford's studlo or- ganization packed up for a lo- cation trip to Chatsworth lake thirty miles from Los Angeles, among the members of the company were several children of school age, who, under the compulsory education laws of California, were enabled to obtain perimts to accompany Miss Plokford only on condition that they ‘recelve school instruction for three hours & day from a regularly suthorized desoribed In fllmdom as “out in the wilds” ~ It necesSitates & tedious Journey over poor roads, and it is a journey to be undertaken only when the demand for realism and verac- ity on the screen become inescap- able. The necessity for carrying along a school teacher at Miss|p® Plokford’'s expense introduced a new complicatfon, because none of the teachers waated to go. Unlike most stage aspirants she did not have the usual struggle to gain her parents’ permission, for they were sufficiently broad-minded to per- mit her to follow her own Inclina- tions. So after a course at Sir Her- bert Tree’s London Academy of Dri matio Art Miss Le Gallienne made her debut as th avey in “The Daughter of Fools” at the Prince of Wales Theater, London. Later that season she came to New York and played a cockney role at the Hul son Theater In Austin Strong’ “Bunny.” The following season she played Mary, an Irish ingenue, in “The Melody of Youth.” with Bran- don Tynan, and so splendid was her work that she was promoted to leads the following season with Henry E. Dixey, in “Mr. Lazarus.” Willlam H. Crane later took this plece to the Pacific coast, and Misw Lo Galllenne “continued in her role. While in the west sho played a repertolre season at the Alcaza: Theater in San Francisco with Rich- ard Bennett. Returning east she was seen in prominent role in a Winthrop Am, production, Ethel Barrymore, in “The Off-Chance. Desiring to try & new type of work, unknown to her, she played a French vamp for five weeks in Elsie Janis' vaudeville revue, known as “Elsia Janis and Her Gang.” Her first real starring vehicle was “Not So Long Ago,” & role as different from her present one as it is possible for two characterizations to ge Miss Le Gallienne has traveled all over Europe, tpeaks and writes French, Russlan, Danish, Spanish and Italian’ fluently. Her father is of French and English extraction and her mother Danish and Russian, but Miss Lo Galllenne 1s American clear through—and very proud of i School Law After mush persuasion, however, & regularly authorized teacher was obtained and the children were given permits. The teacher, reluc- tant at first, soon entered futo the spirit of the trip, and by the time the first week sho was en- thusiastic to stay. The abildren, quick to appreciate tho novelty of such an unusual situation, took their udy like play, and, the result was a perceptible advancs over their stay- at-home schoolmates when e Plokford party eventually found its way back to 5 Angeles. Pickford's trip to location was taken in connection with the re- uction of ‘Tess of the Storm untry.” The to Dring home t6 sl eenoernes vh strict natu ‘whic! that all children et ployed in motion picture work must recelve at least three hours' instruc- tion each day they are so occupled and that the producer must bear the cost of the teacher's salary and ex- nses.
