AMUSEMENTS **Scaramouche’’ in Opera. OINCIDENT with the return to Washington of Rex Ingram's film production of the Sabatini novel, “Scaramouche,” announcement is made by the Metro Film Corporation that “Scaramouche” has finally at- tained the fourth artistic dimension through the recent sale to Georges Baklanoff of the Chicago Grand Op- era Company of the operatic rights of the now famous story. Charles 1. Wagner, the concert im- presario, who has managed such fa- mous concert stars as John McCor- mack, Mary Garden, Amelita Galli- Curci’ and’ others, 'and who has branched out into theatrical produc- tion, was the original owner of the dramatic rights of Sabatini’s novel. Jle utilized his rights to make a stage production of the play with Sidney Dlackmer featured. Tho soreen rights he sold to Rex Ingram and the lat- ter's Metro backers. Now Mr. Wagner has disposed of the operatic rights, and it is under- stood that M. Baklanoff, the bari- tone, is conferring with fgnar Wak- helter, formerly chief symphony con- ductor of the Berlin Opera House, who has recently arrived in America and who may agree to set the story to music. If Waghelter agroes to do the op- eratic score of “Scaramouche,” it i8 said to be a foregone conclusion that the leading role will be written for a baritone, in order that Baklanoff m: appear in this part. Baklanoft practically certajn to havo the story made Into the operatic form, whether the German composer agrees or not, for Charles L. Wagner, the stage pro- ducer, recently assured friends that he had not sold the rights for the proverbial song, and having made a real outlay for the operatic rights, the baritone is reasonably certain to find & composer in due course. 1f “Scaramouche” does appéar in operatic form it will have rivaled the phenomenal record of John Luther Long's “Madame Butterfl which was originally written as & novelette and in that form so impressed David Belasco that he aad Mr. Long dra- matized it, with results that are now fmous. Later Puccini wrote an op- cratic versipn of the play, and when that had achieved undying fame Mary Pickford came along, bought the screen rights and gave us “Mme. Butterfly” all over again. San Francisco--Old and New CIL’\RWB SWICKARD and A. C Edington, director and assistapt for “San Francisco,” a feature film shortly to be made for Grand-Asher release, have been delving into the past with a will lately and have uncovered Interesting facts about the that was—in 1850 and in 1906, the two perlods of the drama written - Harvey Gates for this picture. Yor example: Where was San Francisco in 18507 At the beach and around the loca- tion the famed Cliff House. Tt consisted mainly of dance halls. The modern business districts were not in evidence then and much of the terri- tory was afterward reclaimed. There were no street lamps in 1850. Regan on Repression. S\'HERE has been so much discus- | sion on the subject of ‘the passing of the gallers,” says Walte Jtegan of “The Cat and the Canary ~and so many opinions cxpressed in an attempt to piace the cause of the apparent falling off of patronage in the gallery of our theaters, T venture to offer at least one explanation. “You may call it ‘suppressed emo- tion,’ i you will, or ‘restrained act- Sng. as some prefer, but whatever it is that has crept into our stage under the guise of art, it has suc- creded in driving the patrons to a| vantage point as near the stage as possible, that they may hear what the play is all about Ballet dancers were plentiful and, contrary to what may be imagined, were world famed artists—such as the great Spanish dancer, Lola Mendez. There were more women than men in San Francisco in 1850. There were no trees and only a 1ittle brush among the sand dunes in San Francisco in 1850, In 1906 gas stroet lamps still were used in some parts of the city Derby hats and low collars with nar- row black string ties were popular for men in 1906, Women wore capes with many ruffies and picture hats of the Ploradora pattern. There wWere comparatively few automobiles.

Your seasoned pl goer will tell you he had no diffi- culty in hearing and understanding every word from the last row in the gallery. And these players didn't have to shout. They simply spoke the king's English distinctly and resonantly. “What, with our various styles of suppression’ and ‘restraint’ on native stage. it seems to me a won- der if the man in the tenth row orchestra manages to hear anything Little wonder, considering the at all.” Helen's Babies' Home. 1ERE arc two reasons why Bd- ward Everett Horton is enjoying | lis engagement with Baby Peg®y, | making “Helen's Babiea” | The first is because he has a role | that fits his style of work. | The second is because years ago— | when he was a little four-vear-old tad—he resided in the very home in| Wrooklyn, N. that was occupied by | the ‘originai “bavies” in the story. | “Helen's Babies."” Horton tells that when a boy a | MNttle old woman lived across the treet from the Horton family: shc, iind Mrs. Horton became friends, and, with Edward sitting on his mother's 1ap, this little old lady told all about the two little tots who once lived in the Horton domicile and nearly drove thelr uncle mad with their pranks and mischief-making. This was long ago. Edward list- ened with keen interest to the little old lady's stories and now admits at he, like the real “bables’ in Helen's Bables.” plaved the same pranks as told by the neighbar. Horton, who now plays the Undle in this film, states that their former home was once occupied by John | Habberton, author of the story, and the little old lady was none other than Mrs. Esterbrook of Esterbrook writing pen fame. Submarine Beauties. (72t least one provicus occasion | Washington has scen a demon- | stration of the technicolor process of | photographic motion pictures in their | natural colors. It was a Metro pic- | ture called “The Toll of the Ses, which attracted much attention when it was shown here last summer. On several other occasions, local cinema enthusiasts have seen exam- ples of the remarkable underwater Dhotography of the Williamson Trothers, who invented and brought 1o practicable use a lens chamber Jarge enough to hold a camera and 1wo operators, which could be low- ered under the surface in any de- sired location. Not content with these two sepa- rale achievements in the camera yealm, Metro now proposes to show the combined reults of two proc- esses in film called “The Un- nvited Guest,” which reveals a new wonder of the camera world in sub- \arine pictures, photographed in all the beauty of their natural coloring. U'p to the present time submarine una and flora have been a closed hook to most folks. Santa &atalina | betng able Island, off the California coast, is famed’ for its glass-bottomed boats, where the remarkable clarity of the sea water makes objects visible to the oye for & depth of at least thirty eet. The glass-bottomed boat has been utilized in other localities with piendid results, but efforts to photo- graph optical wonders of the deep were unavailing until the Williamson brothers inventad their submarine |camera chamber that enabled them to get close-ups of the teeming life that lles on the ocean bed The Williamson brothers. however, had been chiefly concerned with the matter of accessibility, and refine- ments of photography had not wor- ried them. They felt satisfied at to photograph in momno- but offictals of the Metro Film Corporation, following the re- markable effects achieved with the technicolor process in “Toll of the Sea,” believed that the same process could be utilized in connection with the Williamson device and the won- derful beauty of submarine life brought to the screen in all its sen- sational coloration. Thig, it is claimed, Is precisely what has been achieved in “The Uninvited Gues chrome. Soutl‘n Seas Clvill'zecl. HOMAS H.
