Flashes From the Screen BY C. E. NELSON. son girl kangarooed her leisurely way | who guarded the main entrance (and exit) of a “picture palace.” Once inside, we selected a seat in the velvct blackness, just as far removed from the professor and his jangling piano as possible. Then we slept the after- noon away. On cne of those days—not so long ago—we overheard another cash customer ake a remark to the effect that he “wished, clear to the bottom of his heart, that we had bigger and better movies.” He had just completed his siesta. That cry, however, from the soul of the aforesaid cash customer has come down to us through the decades. From the original utterance it 1as been spread upon the hoardings and sounded from the proverbial house- tops. We just can't get away from it P The oft-repeated bray for the “big and better” is becoming somewhat timeworn and frayed at the edges. The photoplays of today are bigger and better than ever before. They are, in many instances, the results of months, and even years, of laborious effort and study; they are being planned and produced by veterans, and they are being exhibited—again, in most instances, by men who have been closely allied with the motion pic- ture industry since the days when John Bunny and Flora Finch played juveniles. The mass production of photoplays, which comes, by the way, a demand from the public itself, nas resuited in the filming of many in In various instances plays have been miscast. The public OT long ago—when the down F-street on laz: herdic filled the requirement of getting from one place to another— we quite often gave up a hard-earned nickel to a frowsy attendant : s ferior storics demands its stars, as box office receipts show, and many results portray | Thousands upon | stars riding before their audiences in “sorry vehicles. thousands of doilars have been spent upon superpictures, and these have the inevitable result of casting the average productions into a deep, purple shade. Such pictures as “The Birth of a Nation,” “The Covered Wagon,” “Passion,” “The Four Horsemen,” “Fhe Big Parade” and “Variety,” to mention only a few, are not written and produced in batches for weekly or semi-weekly consumption. They are the outstanding features of a great new art and a remarkable industry. The superpictures will con- tinue, through all the years to come, as special features and unusual achievements of the producers—much as, in other arts, a short story by Joseph Conrad or a Zorn etching. The average photoplay of today far overshadows the picture of only a few vears back. Inventors with i oved mechanical and lighting cffects, the development of screen technique, the studied selection of play and vast, all these move toward betterment So again—with our back to the wall. our chest bared to the enemy, our indéx finger raised heavenward--we reiterate in deep and solemn tones “They are getting larger and more satisfactory every day!” o WHISPERED query from coast to coast.

And echo answers not The line forms to the right. Every male in Movicland has received more or less attention. This would seem a wise prediction and a safe wager : The star who steps into the shoes of Valentino will not come from the ranks of Hollywood. He will arrive by a different route, and in all probability reach stardom as did Rudolph and many others—by his work in a single picture. Thus have such stars as Valentino, the Gishes, ct cetera, been created. And, perhaps, there will be no more screen lovers. L A OTE from the diary of a movie fan: “I notice where some chap out in Kansas has been awarded Id medal or a diploma for proficiency in hog-calling. His voice, ’tis said. can be heard for three miles. T am quite certain the fellow is now in Washington. T went to see ‘Scarlet Love’ last night—and the Kansas champion sat directly behind me.” * * % O \ the screen and off: Jack Pickford is to star in Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy.” The story itself, in two heavy volumes, is a typical Dreiser novel—hard. cold realism—and it will be interesting to sce the film result. . . . Estelle Tavlor, wife’ of Jack Dempsey, holds a contract with the United Artists, but no suitable vehicle has been found for her particular style of acting. “Orchids and Ermine” is the name of Colleen Moore's next picture. It is the story of a hotel switchboard operator. The Colleen is now completing “Twinkletoes.” from the storv of Thomas Burke, who wrote “Limchouse Nights.” Harry Langdon’s next comedy will be called “Long Pants.” hitsch's first picture for the Paramount will be “The Last of Mrs. Cheney,” with Flor- ence Vidor and Adolphe Menjou in the leading roles. . Menjou is now working in “An Angel Passes.” under the direction of Luther Reed. . . Bebe Daniels has started work on her new Paramount picture, “Stranded ‘n Paris,” with Arthur Rosson directing. The story is adapted from a Cierman novel, “Jenny’s Escapade.

THOMAS MEIGHAN- Lincoln Emil Jannings. HE motion picture world is replete with strange , but_possibly the career of a Jast Side New York boy, who has gained acclamation on two continents, ranks as one of the strangest. Ordinarily, great artists are brought to Hollywood from Europe. In the case of Emil Jannings, however, the tables are turned, and Europe has found one of fts most popular cine- matic stars in the New York boy. Jannings was born on the outskirts of the Ghetto of New York. While Still a youngster, his parents, of Ger- man extraction, returned to their na- tive country. At an age when most boys are plodding aw with their hmetic Jannings joined the crew of a steamer, then a troupe of wan- dering player About_this time the motion picture wa being introduced in Germany Jannings joined one of the companies and from the beginning he was given important roles. For sev vears thereafte he wi k! with Lubitsch and F two of the most distinguished | tors in motion pictures today Germany and the Continent early saw the genius that was in Janning: but not until su masterpieces “The Last Laugh, vadis,” “Va- riety” and ‘‘Deception,” the of which will be revived by the Motion icture Guild at the Wardman Park Theater, was his fame implanted on this side of the Atlantic. THKS Hollywood town-—the paradise of Let's-Pretend—is often Heart- break Town, because of the disillusion- ment and heartache that strikes into the in'ards of thousands upon thou- sands of hungering hopes. But Hollywood is a Heartbreak Town for another reason, and that concerns the ghosts of other days that are not allowed to rest in peace in the scenes of by-gone triumphs where they were born in luminous glory. Out in the heart of Hollywood there stands a group of green wooden build ngs. In one or two places along their rambling, haphazard exterior the ! legend “Clune Studio” is visible—one of the first studios in Filmville and the dwelling place of numerous ghosts. For eight long, silent, dust-laden months the ghosts have lived in u disturbed peace, each one haughtil land proudly recalling the d: it pul- sated in romantic shadows. “And no | doubt the shadow of Douglas Fair hove the rest at ts of “Zorro,” “The ajesty the e Musketeers, beauteous sprites of his leading | women- Enid Bennett, Marjorie Daw, Ruth Renick—lending thelr airy grace.

The theme of the picture is sald to {be a striking one, the plot revolving |around the old acrobat’s son. who is disowned when his father believ |him a coward.

The central figure is a youth who ‘was the lowly born son of an ex-champion pugilist who became innkeeper incapable of realizing that his offspring might upon the in- heritance of a large sum of money actually become a gentleman. It is from the father's designation of his son as “an amateur gentleman” that, e play derives its name. lh'rhpe concert overture by the Met- ropolitan Symphony will be com- prised of the melody hits Sigmund Romberg's operetta “Blossom Time and the theme of the interpretative score will be Nevin's “Love Song” with “My Lucky Day” from George White's Scandals as the exit march The Metropolitan Ramblers will fea- ture “Barcarolle Blarney,” a rhyth- modic classie, and the popular number from the George White's Scandals, “Black Bottom.” PALACE—"Blarney.

A “The Son of the Sheik” is a sequel by M. Hull to her novel, and Val- entino’s screen triumph of some five years ago, in which the star is sup- ported by a cast that includes Vilma George Fawceyt, Montaru Love. Karl Dane, Bull Montana and Agnes Ayres. The adaptation was by Frances Marion, who adapted “The Sheik,” and the direction is by George Fitzmaurice. Valentino in his portrayal of a yvoung desert shelk in love with a beautiful dancing girl enacts a series of daring climactic episodes that are breath-taking. The entire produc- tion is laid in the desert, and the story reveals how the young sheik. apparently betrayed by the dancing grl into the hands of his enemlies, fights clear through overwhelming cdds, abducts the girl, who now loves him, and flees over the desert with her to happiness.
