Landvofgt. film entertainment outlined for the current The new pictures all bear the hallmark i1 week is such as to tract unusual interest. of excellence, and two of them, at least, excite anticipation to a high degree. Washington, in a local sense, will find much interest in the first offering for Paramount by Monta Bell, formerly one of its newspaper editors, and withal a very genial and pleasant personality, who only a short while ago transferred his activities from the press to the s, for he is now accounted onc of the most American photoplay directors. The Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, with its unlimited financial resources and its long and varied ay be expected to know and to conserve the best elements king.

Washington picture admirers will find especial interest in “The King on Main Street,” which will have its local premiere at Loew’s Columbia Theater today. * ok ok ok HE air of mystery, reaching out in suggestion to the world super- natural, and with a story laid around the Grand Opera House at Paris, with its famous subterranean rooms and passages, is the tempting prelude of the press agent for Carl Laemmle’s latest photoplay spectacle, “The Phantom of the Opera.” All the world loves mystery and adores hantoms, even though it may shudder at the mention of them. “The ntom of the Opera” comes to the Rialto with the indors oritative critical verdict. It is a picture that has cost much to pro- for its main setting, the grand stairway of the Paris Opera,-famous for its grandeur and beauty, was reproduced with wonderful accuracy at the Universal studios for this picture. These are some of the outstand- ing elements of what is declared to be the greatest picture ever made at the Universal studios, which is_saying a great deal, for it was Mr. Taemmle who gave to the silver sheet “Merry Go Round” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” both remarkable samples of screen high art, in setting and in drama. Advance notices are always optimistic, however, and it is just as well to regard them more as a guide to entertainment than as a verdict of its worth. s ok kK AROLD LLOYD, the popular screen comedian, in his newest picture, The Freshman,” will entertain Metropolitan audiences this weck with the amusing predicaments, genuine and imaginary, that afflict mamma'’s boy d vear at college. Those who need the tonic of laughter may depend t “The Freshman” for a generous dose. At the Palace George M. Cohar comedy, copiously with thrills and creeps that lead to a final guffaw. Thus the picture entertainment at what are known as the big downtown photoplay houses seems likely to meet not only the needs of the tired business man, but the lighter hearts and laughing faces of those who often help to make him tired. Everybody should be a friend of the movie this week, dashed AST week’s entertainment, according to the critic, carried just the suggestion of a_shadow. The reviewer of “Little Annie Rooney” seemed to hint that Our Mary, America’s Sweetheart, is nearing the Eoin( where the juvenility of her characterizations is being questioned. Vith plaudits of Doug in “Don Q7 ringing on all sides, the shy at Mary hurts a little the sensitiveness with which we halo those persons and things for which we have an especial fondnesy. Bat as the hint about Mary simply insinuated that she didn’t make a realistic 12-year-old girl. it may be sub- merged with the recollection of the fact that she is still as pretty, stil s adorable as a lass of larger growth, with years of delightful usefulness on the screen still before her. One of the most difficult things a distin- guished star. whether of the screen or of the stage, but especially of the opera, has to determine in her careeris when to abandon it before its glitter begins to tarnish. Happily no such thought is suggested as to Our Mary, for Mary has no understudy just at present and her successor would be hard to find. &N ANNY.” the unbiquitous herald of picturc news, in Film Daily, amending Shakespeare.

The entire Paris Opera House, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, with its environs, was repro- duced in exact detail for the motion picture. The grand staircase, the huge auditorium, the assive stage, the salon de danse the five subterranean cellars and fhe underground lake beneath the Paris opera all were re- | constructed for the production.

The Hungarian theater today is ad- | mittedly one of the greatest in the world, and the men whose stories will appear as Paramount pictures are said to be the pick of the playwrights of that country. * Mr. Vajda had four play | neously on Broadway last season “The Harem,” produced by David Be- {lasco: “Grounds for Divorce,” pro- duced by the Charles Frohman Com- | pany: “Fata Morgana.” produced by |the Theater Guild, and “The Little Angel,” a Brook Pemberton produ |tion. Mr. Vajda also is the author of | “The Drive,” “The Crown Prince,” | “Mr. Bobby,” “Unexpected Guest, The Confession,” which he wrote un- der the pseudonym of Sidney Garricky and “Carniyal Marriage,” the book for an opera, the music for which was done by Poldint, and which won first prize in a Budapest contest for the best opera book. This opera was pro- duced at Budapest last season in the Royal Opera House, the one in which Mme. Jeritza recently sang. Three months ago at a reception given in his honor by leaders of the theatrical and literary circles of London, Mr. Vajda was hailed as one of the greatest play- { wrights of the world. He is still a comparatively young man, consider- ably under 40, and speaks English per- fectly. Another of the group is Melcholr Lengyel, who came here about a month ago to attend the rehearsals of |his play, “Antonfa,” a Charles Froh- P simult rs for Screen | man production. Others of Mr. Leng- vel's plays with which America is |familiar are “Typhoon,” in which Walker Whiteside appeare: Panza,” which was a starring vehicle for Otis Skinner, and “The Czarina,” in which Doris Keane starred and which was a motion picture vehicle for Pola Negri under the title of “Forbld- den Paradise.”” Another of his plays, “The Battle of Waterloo,” is to be produced here this season. His “The Happy Island” was done in London by Beerbohm Tree. Mr. Lengyel wrote his first play, ‘The Grateful Tosterity,” when he was only 20 years old and was work- ing as a journalist.

Jesse L. Lasky has said: “I believe that the theaters of Budapest and Vienna are storehouses of wonderful screen material that we have not touched. Originality of theme and treatment marks the work of the dra- matists of middle FEurope, and by bringing these men to this country to write directly for the screen we hope to introduce a new note in screen lit- erature,” The Alabama author who claimed that De Mille's story for the “Ten Commandments’ was plagiarized from a scenario submitted by her in 1919 has lost her case in the courts, it is reported, lovers | “Sancho | Opemng‘— *Children’s Programs.” MES.

Young MacLean, who has recently returned to the Paramount fold after several years of independent produc- ing, spent no less than four months, it is sald, combing over thousands of ort stories, plays, novels, songs and even cartoons before he definitely de- cided to employ the George M. Cohan dramatization of Earl Derr Bigger: novel, “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” as the basis of his first new Paramount | picture. MacLean seems to have very defi- nite ideas on what elements a story should possess to become an accept- able motion picture for his purposes. Naturally, he demands comedy as a prime requisite, for he is an expo- nent of gentle and cumulative screen humor, but he also demands that such stories’ must possess, additionally, ample romance, drama and pathos. Furthermore, the story must lay some apparently insurmountable obstacle in the path of the hero and the hero must have some particularly powerful motive to overcome that obstacle. All of which leads one to believe that voung Douglas MacLean is at least one movie star with a head upon his shoulders that is used for pur. poses other than supporting hair, and this fine discrimination displayed in the selection of his starring vehicles may_also account for the fact that MacLean comedies are not released every month in the year.

She is one of the members of the M Giblh been born in Houstom, Tex.. and it is in honor of Texas that the “Lone Star Quartet” is named.
