AMUSEMENTS. Thomas' 63d Playin42Years UGUSTUS THOMAS, comedy, “Still Waters, s t the Shubert-Bel tomorrow night, spent a_Winter in Washington as a page boy in the Forty-first ress, when he was 12 vears old, “living next to the old Waugh Chapel, on North A street, three blocks east of the Capitol,” he plained in recalling those days, when such a play as would e been impossible to write, by the way “I had been a page boy in the Mis- House of Repre atives at and through a friend of the strings were pulled then_ to open the political gate, same as they ire nowadays—got appointed a page ere “All of us boys were away from and so the then superintendent he House ruled that every bo; should take two baths a week in one of th veral la bathrooms vided f the Hous An adult inter- ¥ tion of A o VIII of the Con- ftutional Amendments made thing: casier for the statesmen themselves. The bathrooms were built of marble, with tubs cut from solid blo large »ugh for a boy of 12 years or so to take a good swimming stroke in them. In the Winter these baths had a touch of regimen about them. The tickets, two a week, were issued on certain days at the doorkeeper's desk, and had to be returned by the attendant of the bathroom after it ut it wasn't always possible to make the lad to whom the ticket was given ake the bath, and so as the weather ew warmer nd it can grow warmer 1 hin n—and as the asphalt be- an to run—and it does—the boys with stel tubs sold a ticket now then 1de not so well fixe We had three sources of incomme in days—from guiding visitors gh the Capitol Building, from aphs we got from statesme and from getting orders hes.

As the temporary presiding officer, Ingersoll had to listen to long discussions, usu- ally made for purposes of publlcity, and as the season advanced and the weather grew more Washingtonian he more than once intrusted to me the delicate mission of going to the res- taurant in the basement and bringing him one of the tall mint juleps of which he was fond. Following his careful instructions, I used to wrap | the glass of julep in a folded news. paper and pass it to him below the level of his desk. There was a shelf sufficiently depressed to admit the julep glass, and so with the beverage once there Ingersoll would make one or two disarming passages of his hand kerchief across his face and then sit with his hand over his mustache, as though listening to the flow of oratory, | while his handkerchief fell from his hand to the desk top and masked the | straws he manipulated.” In 1888 Mr. Thomas went to New York as business manager for Julia Marlowe, who was then being groomed by Ariel Barney for stardom. “Up to that time I had had an inti- mate acquaintance and relationsh with_the theater nearly all my life Mr. Thomas said. “I had played sev eral years as an amateur, three or four 'years as a legitimate, and had more than a year of travel with a company of which I had an interest. T had produced four plays which I had written, had two vears in a box office, and I shared for a few minutes the lease of a theater, while never los- ing sight of dramatic authorship as an objective. And I had refused to re- write a play for Mr. Sothern. Yet in {order to keep in touch with the busi ness T found myself in a $40-a-week Job to count tickets for a young actress upon her first trip as a star. “It was in Washington here that T bad to go on one night as Benvolio to Marlowe’s Juliet, when the actor from New York we were counting on to play |the part missed his train.

It is planned to hold the dancing in the ballroom, and there will be music for both the audi- torium and the ballroom. Making "Irot; Horse" Long Task. HILE the first transcontinental railroad was under construction in 1865, Gen. Sherman, back from his march through Atlanta to the seas, | remarked of the raflway: “I should be unwilling to buy a ticket over it for my grandchildren.” In five vears he rode over the line with Gen. Green- ville M. Dodge, who was the construc- tion engineer of the Union Pacific. In “The Iron Horse,” the William Fox photoplay of this stirring period in American history, Walter Rodgers plays the role of Gen. Dodge, the friend of track layers and the enemy of bad Indians. The picture presents | the colorful life with vivid realism, most of its incidents being based on actual facts of history. Fox research workers found in their work of gathering data the statement of William M. Thayer, in his “Marvels | of the New West,” to the effect that “the construction of the Union Pa- cific across the continent was the greatest marvel of our age, The con summation of the enterprise settled the high destiny of the new West. From that moment old things began to be new. Progress was wonderful, and now it sweeps on more grandly than ever.” Continuing his account, Thayer wrote: “The road was completed in 3 years, 6 months and 10 days. Two hundred and sixty-five miles were built in 1866; 285 in 1867, and the remainder finished on May 10, 1869. Strangely enough, the picture it- self required three years in the mak- ing, with John Ford directing a huge cast on the open prairies of Nevada and Wyoming. How the express business followed the transcontinental railroad, expand- ing commerce and extending civiliza- tion into the .West, is recorded with remarkable realism in the picture. And it is shown,too, how express was ship- ped before the railroad crossed the prairie, when Kit Carson rode one horse steadily, day after day, for 4,000 miles. The little animal became so shy of Indians that he would leave the ground at the sight of a feather. But Carson got through with the Gov- ernment mail, small express packages and money. Wells-Fargo first had the pony ex- press service with Buffalo Bill Cody as their chief rider. With the opening of the railroad the express business be. came one of the most important and { most picturesque in existénce. Ex- | press guards worked across the plains i Wwith their guns always in reach. Many a good man died defending his |little wooden car from attack from llndmns and bandits. They asked no | quarter and gave none. Actor and Director Loyal Friends. JT is a satisfaction to the normal hustler who gives the best he has to the task in hand to have the “boss” take cognizance of the fact. It has even been known to happen that superiors have promoted sub- ordinates of their own volition for meritorious service. Of course, it has more often come to pass that they didn’t, if they could get out of it, but still it is comforting to think that sometimes merit is recognized. All of which is by way of leading up to the fact that Richard Barthel- mess ought to feel himself to be “sitting pretty,” as our flamboyant vernacular has it, whether Inspira- tion Pictures continue to click or not. Here's why: Any time the opportunity presents itself Richard Barthelmess can star again in David Griffith’s productions. The famous director says so himself and the young star declares that there is nothing he would like bet- ter. But Barthelmess has his own company and Griffith is making ple- tures for another concern. Barthelmess, now appearing in his new production, “Shore Leave,” is a close friend of thie Griffiths. He still calls Griffith “governor,” and he [ still looks upon him as his best ad- viser. It was Griffith who first saw the histrionic possibflities of the young star. He caught a glimpse of him in a series of Marguerite Clark comedies and signed him to play op- posite Dorothy Gish in four comedies. But Grifiith realized that the prom- |dropped into my arms the tight doub- | HE SUNDAY 8 FllmO ONTRARY to former plans “Kiki" will be Norma Talmadge's next production instead of “Paris After Dark.” Work will start about Qctober 1, with Clarence Brown directing. Among film folk who arrived from Europe last week are Thomas Meighan, Lois Wilson and Virginia Valli. Jack Coogan, sr. recently an- nounced, says Film Daily, that little Juckie’s money would be used to build a 3,000 firstrun theater in Los An. geles, and this would be the first of a prospective ‘chain. Alice Terry, who has finished work in “Mare Nostrom,” wilt arrive in New York from Europe early this month for a short visit. Shewwill return in time to join her husband, Rex In g young player not limited to comedy. When he made_his epic of Lime- house, “Broken Blossoms,” he se. lected Barthelmess for the role of the dreaming young Oriental. He gave him the dashing part of the romantic hero in rlet Days,” and when he made "’'Way Down East" Barthelmess was named for the role of the young New England hero. Grifith is very proud of Barthel- mess. He looks upon him as a true product of the real Griffith tech- nique. Some time in the future they may work together again. Who knows? Anyway, whenever the two meet they discuss the interesting pos- sibility with great enthusiasm, it is said was AR, WASHINGTON, grams gram, and start work on his next pro- duction, which will be made abroad. Norma Shearer's next starring pro- duction will be “Free Lips,” directed by Hobart Henley and with Lew Cody opposite—the same trio that o “A Slave of Fashion,” recently shown here. Inspiration is said to have recently taken film tests of Dorothy Knapp, the Ziegfeld beauty. She may appear opposite Richard Barthelmess In “‘Just Suppose,” says Film Dadly. Michael Arlen is in Hollywood aid- ing in the adaptation of ‘‘Crossroads of the World,” his original screen story, for Pola Negri. The embassy, a new and intimate type of theater on Broadway, had its formal opening last week, when *The Merry Widow" was presented. This is the theater which is managed by Gloria Gould Bishop, who employes only women on her staff. One of the highlights of Gloria Swanson's production, “The Coast of Folly,” is the Palm Beach ‘“movie ball,” in which the star plays the part of Pollyanna. Other characters are dressed to represent “The Sea Hawk," another Moses in “The Ten Command- ments,” two girls appear as “The Two Orphan and there is still another who counterfeits the scant costumes of Mae Murray. “Good Night Syd Chaplin’s next feature comedy for Warner Bros., is a story by Robert E.

(Chuck) Reisner, who worked with Charles Chaplin in the making of “Thd Gold Rush” and made the scenario of “The Man on the Box,” is making the scenarfo. He {s known as the original “gag” man, having started the vogue on the lot about eight years ago. Another delightful musical pro- gram has been arranged for this week at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater by Daniel Breeskin, con- ductor of the Metropolitan Symphony. The concert overture will be “Home, Sweet Home, the World Over,” a varlegated arrangement of the Amer- fcan folk song. The theme of the interpretative score will be a new composition by Mrs. Fritz D. Haff- mann, wife of the controller of the Crandall theaters, who has named the plece “Dorothy,” in honor of Dorothy Mackaill. Announcement {s made from the executive offices of the Crandall theaters that special holiday matinees will be held in all of the Crandall residential houses tomorrow,” Labor day. David Torrence’s wealth of Scotch humor, it is said, has made him one of the most popular character actors in the Hollywood film colony, and he has a brand-new repertory of stories, just imported from the heathered heath of his native country. He is playing the role of a judge in “The Other Woman'’s Story,” a B. P. Schul- berg production which Gasnier is di- recting. Johnny Weismuller, world champion swimmer, and “Stubby” Kruger, his swimming partner on the Olympic team, with & supporting company con- sisting of Douglas Fairbanks, hav. made a two-reel comedy, “The Pool, all their trick di The movies move! SEPTEMBER 6, 1925—PART 3. AMUDEMENLS. The Author ofijhe Vortex" OEL COWARD, the author of “The Vortex,” the London success with which the regular Autumn sea- son at the National Theater will be opened tomorrow evening, is one of the most talked of young playwrights in England. A year ago he was known as a very clever young man who could turn his hand to various things around a theater. He could play & part, if necessary. He could write the words for a song and he could compose the tune to go with the words. He could write bright, witty little sketches—the kind that are needed in musical revues. He could write excellent dialogue, espe- clally when it was needed in a hurry. And he had tried his hand at writing a couple of full-length plays, but they lacked something—at any rate, they | had not been successes. But with the London theater crowd he was a prime favorite and they all said he was a “comer.” They were right. His boom began with the production of “The Vortex”—the play that is to be seen at the National—at the Every- man Theater in Hampstead. It scored an immediate success and a few weeks later it was moved to the Royalty Theater, in the West End, where it continued to attract crowded houses for months. Later it was moved again to the Little Theater, and there it only closed its long run a few weeks ago, because Mr. Coward and some of the other principals in the cast had to come to America to do the piece here. And since the production of “The Vortex” Mr. Coward has had two more plays—'“Fallen Angels” and “Hay Fever”—produced in London, not to mention a musical play, “On With the Dance,” for which he wrote both the words and the music. Think of that—four successes run- ning simultaneously in London the- aters—and he is not yet 26 years old! “The Vortex” will be the first of his plays to be seen in America, but all the others named above are to be done here this season and there are a couple of others that have not yet been produced in London that Ameri- can managers have already contracted to do. and comedy stunts on the screen. The picture was made at Pickfair, Doug’s home in Hollywood, and copies have | been presented by Falrbanks to the famous athletes. The largest swimming pool in the west is now being bulit at the Pick- ford-Fairbanks studlo. One unit of this tank will hold 600,000 gallons of water, and the area covered is more than two city blocks. It will be used in Doug's productlon, “The Black Pi-| before are here! % Paramount Week celebrates one glorious round of Paramount Pictures—a review of the ones you missed—a pre-view of the new! “If i’s a Paramount Picture it’s the best show in town!” LOEW’S COLUMBIA F Street at 12th Now Playing—Second Great Week GLORIASWANSON mn AMBASSADOR ' 2454 Eighteenth SHOWS .
