AMUS EMENTS, In the Local»Bl_a:y_l\ouses BY FIRST NIGHTER. ATCHING the actions and listen- ing to the voice of Otis Skinner, one can hardly realize that he is 71 years old. Twice during the play he had slight slips of hia lines, but 80 quickly did he recover that the Japse of memory was hardly notice- able. These lapses would not have been noticed in any other actor, but Mr. Skinner has always been the one man who never forgot his lines. A White-haired lady sitiing near the writer last Monday night remarked to her companion: dear, you should have seen Mr. Skinner plav Orlando to Modjeska's Rosalind. His reading of the lines was perfect and that great voice of his, while appar- ently carrying on a conversation with his companions in the woods, could be heard in every nook of the big playhouse. He was, and is now, ‘wonderfu That spiendid baritone, Indian Chief Caupolican, who has been appearing hetween the pictures in the local movie houses, is a college graduate who had_his veice cultivated in Furope.

On the concert stage one facex a quiet audience. just as ap preciative, of course, but they show it only in mild applause. “I had a funny experience at Metropolitan recently,” said the chief, “and enjoyed the scene im- mensely. About a dozen of fellow redmén from Oklahoma eame in late one afternoon and when 1 had finished my first song they let out a series of Indlan yells that cer- tainly startled the remainder of the audience. It was a trune Western greeting, but 1 noticed several old ladies left the auditorium with undue speed. 1 tried to get the hovs to come back at night, but other en gagements kept them away. Will Rogers promised to come down to hear me, but he said he was tied up with his White House engagements and couldn't get away. It 1 could have persuaded that bunch to come on the stage and do their native dance, it would have been worth ‘while. Jack Carr of the song and dance team of Carr and Parr, has been all over the world within the last year and but recéntly came out of Russia after an engagement in Petrograd. Asked about the conditions over the big there, he replied that money is scarce, but the peopls can always scare up enough to attend the theaters. “You! will doubtless be surprised to lear he said, “that the show business ln( Runsia is exactly as it Is here.

Speaking of movies, the subject was under discussion in Manager Coch- ran's office in the National one after- noon last week, and a veteran of Otis Skinner's company maintained that} the stage 36 years ago was trod by girls just as beautiful as those today. He said: “The old-timers will recall the ‘Big Four' beauties of those days and they will agree with me that they have never heen eclipsed.

AJ. EDWARD BOWES again pro- vided Capitol audiences with an .xc.lun'. rogram last week. Tt was featu: a ballet from “Faust” titled "wumxrcu Night.” The scene, taken from the feature, “FAust,” represented a banquet hall including a throns and four silver eolumns, It was decidedly colorful, with the ballet and the Chester Hale acting _as members of the Mep heles (John Trie- enur“ with Faust (Rita Glynde) to show him the cing in progress during.the feast.

Dawes; “Valse Mazanetta” and “‘Sax-ema,”’ composed by Wiedoeft, and “Land of the Sky Blue Water,” by Cadman. The final verse of the last-named was sung by a woman in Western costume, who emerged from the door of the mhack. Especially striking was the set used in connection with the appearance of Celia Turrill, mezzo-soprano, who sang the “Flower 8ong” from “Faust.” This was a biack medallion, in the oval of which stood Miss Turrill, at- tired appropriately. Behind her was a fountain, with rose bushes on either side. The background was a biue-sky drop, with stars visible—Film Dafly. National ‘WitwerfWeek.

Witzel, as those who have seen “SVhite Cargo” know, is a cynical sun- baked chap, whose strongly sarcastic character is engraved on his face. Forceful \features are necessary to the characterization. Leéwis Talbot, one of the producers of the presant “White Carge,” inter- viewed many prospective Witzels in his New York office to no avail. He was just about tempted to give up in despair, when he heard a voice in the outer office. His face lighted up, It had resonance, power, clear diction and just enough of an English accent and ‘intonation to suit! Here was Witzel, no doubt! He sent the office attendant for the owner of the voice. Then came disillusionment! Despite the voice, the owner, who was Burns, lacked the features. He was dish faced. His nose sank In where it should fill out. Talbot sadly explained and Burns left. ‘Three days later the voice returned, his face swathed in bandages.

When Famous Players-Lasky an nounced this production about a vear ago they intimated that it would be something extraordinary. James Cruze —hero of “The Covered Wagon' epl- sode—was assigned to direct it, and Laurence Stallings, author of “The Big Parade,’ was engaged to write the story It so happened that at the time one of those perennial ‘“save Olg Iron- sides’”’ campaigns was in pr t and school children throeughout the coun- try were being urged to contribute | thelr pennies, nickels or dimes tor the | reconstruction of the famous old ship that is now rotting in Boston Harbor. | 8o the motion picture of “Old Tron- sides” had the co.operation of the | Navy Department, and when it open- | &4 at the Rivoli Theater the audience | Included Secretary Wilbur, attended by a large gathering of imposing ad- mirals, generals of the Marine Corps and a few mere gobs. Their enthusi- | asm for the picture was sufficient evi- dence that it is nautically correct. | * x b ¥ “0ld Tronsides"" is primarily a great | thrill for the eve. Its stery is weak | in places, and its dramatic interest i inclined to flag, but its pictorial qual- ities are magnificent beyond words. A model of the U. 8. 8. Constitution was bullt for the occasion, perfact in every detail, and the sight of this gallant ship plowing through the water with all sails bulging in the wind is sufficient cause for cheers. ‘When the ship first appears on the screen & sensational and extremely effective trick is worked. The screen itself is suddenly eénlarged so that it fills the entire proscenium of the theater, and at the same time some sort of magnification is applied to the projection machine so that the re- flected image of the ship is ‘enor- mously enlarged. When “Old Ironsides” assumed these heroic proportions the entire firat-night audience— Secretary Wil- bur, admirals and all—rose to its fest and gave vocal tribute te the grand old vessel that was once an entire navy in itself. The cast of ““Old Ironsides” in- cludes two splendid comedy perform- ances by Wallace Beery and George Bancroft.

More than any other man, he has had his ups and downs He has gone to the weirdest ex tremities of prosperity, on the one hand, and misfortune, on thé other.

We wanted to make pictures that would appsal to a superior class of people.

Then internal disorders caused his withdrawal from that organization, and he allled him- self with First National, and sub- sequently with United Artists.
