i AMUSEMENTS. LAURA ~2A LAPLANTE - Riglts™ Newsand Comment By W. H. Landvoigt. ful creation is Woman! She has been the inspira- | Iptor, the ideal of the painter, the song of the | poct, the dream of the writer, since the world began, or at least shortly aiterward. The arts have pictured her grace and her beauty always. Since first she gladdenced the eyes of Adam she has claimed | more of man’s time, more of his thoughts, more of his devotion than any other created object. She has lifted man’s soul to the heights of Heaven, and, according to her whim, sl HAT tion of aw le the sc ie has been equally industrious in hastening its descent in the other dircction. Whether you believe the apple story | in the Garden of Eden or not, since the dawn of humanity Woman has been the motivating influence of human affairs above and beyond every- thing else. What wonder, therciore, is it that she should dominate the stage and ingulf the screen! She is an inexhauvstible fountain of inspira- And, withal, she is the most abused treasure the carth has ever dis- Without her the reformer would be out of a job and the censor would be unknown. And yet we have to have her. * ok kK JE it were possible—and some think it is—Woman might be pictured on stage and screen in a way that would make her adorable—a strong term, yet necessary to meet the demand in some quarters—and that might also help to restore her to the position of dignity, respect and civilizing usefulness to which she, at her best, is entitled. Screen idealizers must learn to see her from a different angle, for, like the diamond, she has many angles. There is a spiritual grace and charm which is hers, and which, when rightly viewed, surpasses even her physical attractions. Why does not this side of womanhood command the attention and, fire the imagination of the playwright and the scenarist? Why must he al- ways take the weak, the erring side to exploit one of the dearest of all our possessions? The word possessions is not used in its narrow sense, but rather in the sense of blessings. The suggestion is shot like an arrow into the air in the hope that it may find a mark somewhere to give it a permanent record. Now, while the screen world is seething in its caldron of preparation and competition for the new season a few months ahead, the spiritual charms oi Woman are most earnestly recommended as a theme for screen exploitation, coupled with the earnest and equally im- portant suggestion that the world of pictures, at least, be spared, for the time being, the exploitation of Woman in her weaker and sadder side of life. This is truly “a consummation devoutly to be wished”! * ok ok ok ROM, the historic halls of the Naval Academy, at Annapolis, comes a “rush” message heralding the news that Harriet Hammond, a very pretty girl, has been chosen to impersonate the ideal sweetheart of the first midshipman hero of the movies. The “rush” states that Director William Christy Cabanne is to make a photoplay entitled “Mid<hipman Sterling”; that the Naval Academy and the Bureau of Navigation are in some way interested in it; that Miss Hammond came all the way from California for a competitive screen test, and that over all competitors she has been selected to impersonate the heroine. “Midshipman Sterling.” it is added, is to be “a photodramatic canonization of Naval Academy life,” and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Corporation is to be its producer. * x k¥ 'ASHINGTON numbered among its real dramatic treats of the sea- son just closed Walter Hampden’s magnificent production of Ros- tand’s famous play, “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Report has it that Boston, the first week in June, will witness a screen version of this magnificent drama in color, under the auspices of Pictures-in-Motion, Incorporated. It was made in Italy, the world’s home of art. * % ok * ROM Paris comes the news that the Societe des Cineromans is remak- ing “Les Miserables,” Victor Hugo’s wonderful story, and that the filming will be done in onc of the Pathe studios in the French capital, with Louis Nalpas as art director. Up m Copenhagen the Nordisk films will make a series of Dickens studies in cinematography for the British and American theaters, “Little Dorrit” being the first of the three pictures to be made this year. tion. closed. R off in mysterious India passports have been issued to four Germans, according to Film Daily, to produce a picture dealing with the life of Buddha, although the ban against German entry into India has been ex- tended for a further period ki ki o MIL JANNINGS' wonderful screen characterization in “The Last Laugh” has been the inspiration for the founding in Kansas City of the “Laugh Club.” Humor was outstandingly noticeable in “The Last Laugh” by its absence, but if the picture has suggested the value of laughter to folks in Kansas it certainly has a virtue beyond that of its dramatic worth. The little chewing gum fan didn't like it here, and it is said that it was not too popular with the average cake eater. HE French national committee of the League of Nations committee on intellectual co-operation is to sponsor a film congress at the Sor- honne, June 22-24, to consider the contribution which the film can make toward cultural betterment. This is said to put into execution a resolu- tion approved last year in Brussels by the assembly of the League of Nations. Film Daily, which is authority for the report. states that.invi- tations have been issucd to 19 American producers and directors, to 15 French producers, 7 German producers, 3 Italian, 1 Swedish, 1 Spanish producer and 1 Englishman, besides some Russian producers. What a pity the idea did not originate with our American Congress, inasmuch as American film productions are said to dominate the markets of the world! Are we slow to perceive the great possibilities in the photoplay? Can- 1ot our thought arise above the matter of simply policing it? * ok k% ANDON should thrill with the news that Gloria Swanson, who, late re- reports state, has not yet linked her future with any particular pro- ducing corporation, despite reports, is, nevertheless, to finish her long- heralded new picture, “The Coast of Folly,” with Anthony Jowett as her leading man and Allan Dwan as her director. * ok k% ] NOTHER bit of news that should stir the popular interest is the re- port that Ann Pennington is to be “co-starred”—a choice bit of movie philology—with Julian Eltinge, the feminine impersonator, by the Chris- ties. Comedy will have its fling, but somebody seems to be tugging at the coattail of legitimate, high-class comedy, despite the conceded de- mand for it in pictures. * % * % IVERSAL, which scems to be very much in the running at this stage of the game, springs a new sensation by announcing that it has signed Nina Romano, the new Mrs. Lou Tellegen, to one of its movie contracts. ok ok ok FANS may jump for joy, too, over the report that Theda Bara—the great and only Theda—has started work on “The Unchastened Woman,” with James Young for director, and under the auspices of F. B. O. for Chadwick distribution. * %k k% LL of which emphasizes the need of the producing world to turn its thought and its effort to picturing Woman at her best as the first and most important step in its contribution to the cultural betterment of the world. SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 24, 1925— PART Has Interesting Cast. ALICE JOYCE is the only screen veteran among the featured pl ers of Herbert Brenon's adaptation of “The Little French Girl,” Anne Doug- las Sedgwick's novel. Aside from Miss Joyce the cast in- cludes, in prominent roles, two dainty and delightful youngsters, Mary Brian | and Esther Ralston, who gave ¢ ing naive contributions to the terpretation of “Peter Pan”; Hamilton, the new D. W. Griffith ing man, who was seen in Washington | recently in “Isn't Life Wonderful?” | and Anthony Jowitt, who did so well | in a tryout in a small part with Bebe | Daniels in “The Crowded Hour” t he earned a much better role in port of Miss Joyce.

He needed clothes badly | and so, on a hunch, he went to see a prominent tailor. Menjou is a con- | vincing ker. He has that indefin. able something which makes people | listen to him. even though they do not always agree with him. i Realizing the tremendous value of | clothes in making one at least feel successtul, Menjou told his tailor his| great need—put it up to him as gambling proposition and convinced | him to the extent that this tailor| made him four expensive suits. The result was magical. Feeling and being well-groomed Menjou got his| chance. The door of opportunuity opened far enough for him to go through. Today he s one of the most popular men in pictures. Men admire him, women fall in love with him. And the tailor? He has become fa-| mous too, because Adolphe Menjou did not forget his having faith in him and has not only bought his own clothes from him, but sent many | friends to him.

Dream of a Fan Come True. ISS MARY PATRICIA GRAY, daughter of Mrs. A. E. Gray, one of the charming girls of Annapolis who were selected to have a part in the Metro-Goldwyn production, “Mid- shipman Sterling,” starring Ramon Navarro, which is » v being made at the United States Naval Academy, is a former student of the Washington School for Secretaries, ing been graduated from that school last June. Many dreamers dream and the dreams of the dreamers never come true, but in this instance the cherish- ed dream of a mighty pretty girl has come true. Mrs. W. Garnet Lee, 2630 Adams Mill road, is a sister of this successful movie fan. Proves Right to Title. (CECILLE EVANS, who is at Cata- lina, playing the feminine lead in “Blue Blood,” which stars George Walsh, is having a chance to prové that bathing girls sometimes do go near the water. In a bathing costume which the former Sennett favorite fills to zood advantage she plays a number of her scenes In the water. One of these in- volves a race with Walsk, noted as an expert swimmer, in which the comedy water nymph proves her right to don a bathing suit for more reasons than the puichritudinous display which it affords. ' Richard Barthelmess sailed from New York last week on the U. S. S. Arkansas, accompanied by Director John S. Robertson, his chief camera- man, and the technical staff. Scenes for '“Shore Leave,” adapted from Ubert Osborne’s play, will be filmed on the battleship en route to Hampton Roads and later off Annapolis.

Growing to maturity among English surroundings, the girl discovers that her mother’s romantic philosophy has caused a split between a young Eng- lish army officer and his flancee, al- though when the young officer is killed in battle, the fiancee, not sus- pecting the real reason for his nes- lect, prepares to enter a convent as a tribute to his memory. At this point the little French girl, rezlizing the officer’s unworthiness, tells the real story of his doings in France, even though it involves her own mother. The advent of the officer’s brother brings about further complica- tions until the inevitable happy ending. A new juvenile comedy, “Dragon Alley,” the international news reel and musical offerings will be added at- tractions. METROPOLITAN.- Man “T ‘Want My Man,” the feature this week, beginning this afternoon, at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater, is a picturization of Struthers Burt's novel of the post-war era of social turbulence, “The Interpreter's House,” adapted to the screen by Earl J. Hudson, with Milton Sills and Doris Kenyon as its stars and with Lam- bert Hillyer directing. Larry Se- mon’s latest two-reel frolic, “The Dome Doctor,” the Metropolitan World Survey and a laughable Aesop Fable also will be shown. , The musical program is notable. The Metropolitan Orchestra, under Daniel Breeskin, will offer a program including gems from Victor Herbert’s “The Red Mill,” a brief prelude to the screening of “I Want My’ Man,” by Sigmund Ziebel, solo violinist and concert master; Viola T.

PALACE—"“Adventure” No. 72 Pauline Starke, Tom Moore, Wal- lace Beery, Raymond Hatton, Walter McGrail and the famous Hawaiian swimming champion, Duke Kahana- moku, will be seen in “Adventure,” a Paramount picture of Jack London's South Sea romance, danger and thrills, which will be shown at Loew’s Palace this week beginning this after- noon. Directed by Victor Fleming and adapted to the screen by A. P. Young and L. Rigby, the locale is one of the most obscure and remote islands of the Solomon group in the South Pacific. The story concerns a bob-haired soldier-of-fortune, indifferent, for all her beauty, to the call of sentiment, but determined to carve out a career and a fortune from the devious trade channels of the South Pacific and a very sick planter whom she nurses back to health, but refuses to marry, preferring rather to become his busi- ness partner in a copra venture. Two rascally traders, a South Sea Lothario and an uprising of the natives against aid in bringing about all sorts of thrills up to the climax. The Palace Orchestra, under Thomas Joseph Gannon; Mack Sennett's com- edy, “Skinners in Silk”; the Pathe News and Topics of the Day will pro- vide added attractions. RIALTO—"Dangerous Innocence.” “Dangerous Innocence,” a film ver- sion of Pamela Wynne's story, “Ann's’ an Idiot,” is the attraction at the Rialto this week, with Laura La Plante and Eugene O'Brien as co-stars. The story shows what youthful in- nocence can do, even to a man of the world. The helplessness of Ann Church, who is traveling alone on an ocean liner, brings Maj. Seymour to her aid. Then one night on deck romance steals aboard. There is a kiss and youthful innocence wins.

While we pay homage to the screen stars of today, let us pause a moment and think what has happened to the ry |stars of yesterday. Octavia Handworth, a wisp of blond loveliness, and formerly one of the screen’s popular players, is living in the wilds of Brooklyn, devoting he; life to the perfection of a scientific truck garden; Crane Wilbur writes plays and occasionally appears in hi productions; Maurice Costello. once the idol of millions, is now playing small parts in films; John Bunny has passed on and the popularity of his partner, Flora Finch, ned, until today she appears only occasionally in a scene as comedy relief. The career of another great comedy couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew was shattered by the death of Mr. Drew, and, like Flora Finch, M Drew, though a splendid actre found the road to success a hard one to travel alone.
