AMUSEMENTS. Filmo ROSEMARY THEBY, who played an important role in “Secrets of the Night,” the photoplay which will be shown at. the Rialto Theater this week, although a bruenette, beltev that a really dangerous vamp shoul be blonde. Through the kindness of Joseph Gates, manager of Loew's Columbla Theater, the children of the Masonic and Eastern Star Home were enter- tained at that theater last Saturday with “The Thief of Bagdad." Later the children were the guests of Elie Sheetz of the Martha Washington candy establishment, where they were given a candy treat. Adolphe Menjou is a great favorite in Havana, Cuba, it was discovered when he spent two weeks there re- cently filming scenes for “A Kiss In “ adapted from Krederick Lonsdale’s play, “Aren’t We All?" but the Cubans had a dreadful time pro- nouncing his name. In the Spanish language “J" is pronounced like “h" 80 whenever the popular Paramount Dlayer appeared on the streets of Ha vana the word went round tha “Adolphee Men-hoo" was coming. For those who do not know, Mr. Menjou's name is pronounced “Manz- hoo.” with the “a” short and equal tress given both syllables. The name is French. Ruby Blaine, having co work In “The Midnight Girl" star- ring Lila Lee, will now proceed to break in her unusual Christmas pres- ent from her mother, who lives on the Blaine rancho, Burnt Mill Ranch, | jn the Pueblo Mountains of Colorado. Tt is a young unbroken broncho TRuby insists she is far more at home in the saddle of a bucking broncho than in the seat of the new automo- bile her sereen work has provided. Bela Lugosi, who has the leading heavy role in ‘“The Midnight Girl, starring Lila Lee, before his debut in American motion pictures, was a distinguished star of the theater in his native Hungary. “The Wizard of 0z, Larry Semon’ film version of the famous story by L. Frank Baum, was given its world premiere in Los Angeles February 7 Reports indicate that it will be one of the big plotures of the year. Larry Semon has Dorothy Dawn, his new bride, for his leading woman in this plcture. Chadwick Pictures announces that there is no foundation for the rumor that Theda Bara will not appear in “The Unchastened Woman' The story is now peing adapted from the well known American play by Louis K. Anspacher, and it is expected the picture will go into production at the Chadwick West Coast studios shortiy ileen Pringle will play the leading role in “Wildfire,” which Distinctive Pictures is to produce for Vitagraph This is the thrilling race track melo- drama in whieh Lilllan Russell scored | one of her greatest hits Mae Marsh has been engaged for the leadlng role in Vitagraph's “In the Garden of Charity,” from Basil King’s novel. Others in the case are Ben Hendricks, as leading man; Laska Winters, Earl Schenck, Ivor McFadden and Thomas Mills. Cecil B. De Mille announces that he will orgenize a stack compauy similar to the famous “Lasky stock,” which he erganized 10 years ago and from * which he developed such stars as Gloria Swanson, Thomas Meighan, the late Wallace Reid, Bebe Daniels, Agnes Ayres, Leatrice Joy and Rod la Rocque. This company will supply players for both the Cecil De Mille and Christie-Hollywood studios, pro- viding speclal opportunities for the development of young players. Vietor McLaughlen, English actor and champion heavyweight boxer, has been signed to pl in Tod Brown- ing’s production, “The Unholy Three.” He is to play Hercules, a giant strong man who is one of the trio of the title. Lon Chaney and Harry Earles, a midget welghing less than 30 pounds, complete the trio. Not se long ago pretty Norma Shearer was a screen fan. During her school days she spent much of her time at movies and Conrad Nagel Wwas her favorite leading man. Now “she is appearing opposite her hero in plctures and her great ambition is reatized. A few days of “brushing up” of her neglected talents and Colleen Maore will reveal another bit of ver- satility, which her fans have suspected, when she appears as the dancer in “Sally,” made from the popular musical comedy which starred Marylyn Miller. Helen Ware, the noted stage emo- tional actress, has been added to the cast of Richard Barthelme: “Soul Fire” from Martin Brown's play, “Great Music,” playing the part of Frisco Sal, which she originated on the stage. ‘Willard Louis and John Roche have been selected to complete the cast of the new Ernst Lubitsch picture, and with Monte Blue, Marle Prevost and Clara Bow will play the principal roles. “Kiss Me Again” has been chosen as the title. Rin-Tin-Tin's youngest son appears with him in his latest picture, “Tracked In the Snow Country,” in which he doubles for his parent in tha first and second reels. Lee Dun- can, owner of the dogs, says young Rinty gives promise of adding to the family laurels as a talented actor. Allan Dwan is at Palm Beach, hunting locations for “The Coast of ¥olly,” Gloria Swanson's next, which after all will be made in America in- stead of on the Riviera, as originally planned. Rod La Rocque, the leading man, who departed for Paris soon after Christmas, is now on his re- ome o) " THE LINCOLN SUN.~MON.—TUES.

Grifith “find,” has been posing for magazine sketches by James Montgomery Flagg. Now Earl Hud- son has chosen her for a role in “The Necessary Evil." “Declasse” is to remain the title of the forthcoming Corinne GriMith pro- duction instead of ‘““The Soclal Ex- ile,” the switch back to the original name being decided upon because of the widespread popularity of the Zoe Akins play. The Lincoln Theater is conducting a 35,000 popularity contest, which be- gan February 12, and will end Sat- urday. May 30. The prizes include a new 1925 model Reo touring car, a $1.000 first payment on the purchase of a six-room and bath home, and baby grand player-piano. Mr. Flo Ziegfeld's Film Training School, otherwise known as “The Ziegfeld Follles,” has turned out an- { other promising recruit in the per- son of Paulette Duval, who plays with Conrad Nagel, Lewl one et al. in “Cheaper to Marry." She got her start in “Beaucaire” with Val- entino. Chance for Aspirants. THE door of opportunity has been opened to aspiring artists by George Fitzmaurice, who will offer a real role to some unknown in every one of his future pictures, “Motlon pictures are face to face with a serious shortage of actors and actresses whose wor! is known to the theatergoers of the world,"” Fitz- aurice points out. Because producers believe that well known names are essential to the success of their pictures, they are afraid to Introduce new players, pre- ferring to cling to the established names which are supposed to have a box office valus. The result is a com- paratively small group of artists who are in constant demand and whose services bring enormous salaries. “Because of the attitude of the majority of the producers, this group is seldom increased by the addition of new talent. My plan permits the unkn n to break Into this so-called agic inner circle.’ { very other industry and art pro- | vides for the new gemeration In business huge training schools are maintained for future executives. Fainters aud singers the world over ave their following of yvouthful dis- les who “are given the chance to study the technique of the masters. Even th tage offers far greater op- portunities for the beginner. “It is with the idea of starting a general movement along this line that we have formulated our plan. Samuel Goldwyn, always a pioneer, is in accord with my idea and has given it his unqualified indorse- wment.” Want Unusual Effects. THK‘I truggie to catch the eye of public and cause talk through the presentation of some effect un- usual, colorful, massive and different is apparently unending in the cinema world. No sooner is the magnificence of Rome presented in a huge scene than another producer presents Babylon at the height of its magnificence. There have been attempts to plcture life as it will be a thousand years from now, and mere recently pro- ducers have dabbled with the ques- tion of life after death. Balls and parties with strange favors and strange costumes have been used time without end until it | seemed almost as if there were an end to novelty. Now Cecil B. DeMille presents a “ball” of candy, a scintll- | lating fete using hundreds upon hun- | dreds of pounds of real sweets for| the outstanding spectacle of “The olden Be: his newest production. Always spectacular in his effects, DeMille has chosen a “candy ball” with 20-foot peppermint canes, marshmallow girls and beauties with edible fingers as the background for dramatic scenes between his prin- producer makes a logical ex- planation of what he terms the need for spectacle—a debated question among critics. He says: “It {s true that the back- ground of every screen story must be the heart conflict between two or more people. It is true‘that all the spectacle in the world s of no avail it this human Interest ia absent. But, on the other hand, speotacle to underscore human in centuate it. When thus torial exclamation point it is inval- uabl e P Hawaiian Royalty in Movies. THAT he will abandon the water for the glare of the klelgs is the rumor regarding Duke Kahanamoku, international amateur swimming champion, who is now playing a role in Jack Londen's *“Adventure.” In the past year Kahanamoku has taken part in several productions with considerable success. In his present role in “Adventure” he plays the largest part of hia career. It is said that if he succeeds in the role he will abandon water activitles en- tirely. ntertainment THEATER U STREET AT 13TH of Edna Ferber's BIG FRL—SAT.
