Adkins, manager of the Besse on the South e, entered the movie game ten years ago in a theater in the “loop™ district in Chicago. In thoee days admissions were not num- erous and the cash- ier, after selling a few tickets, would g0 into the theater and put on an illus- trated song and then go back to sell more tickets. Mr. Adkins came to Omaha in 1913 and started busi ness in the Be at 24th and N. ¥ For a time pictures and vaudeville were run, but later the | vaudeville was eliminated. High class | features, serials and variety bills are now the order. He was the first to install a modern organ in Nebraska Shows at the Besse are always closec with a comedy so that folks will go away smiling, making a good adver- tisement for the show to those on the outside or just coming in. Dur- ing Ak-Sar-Ben week the Besse will present some exceptionally clever pro- grams, Interesting Notes on Nutio’s Romeo and Juliet Production |- The stars are Francis X, Bushman, as Romewy, and Beverly Bayne, as Juliet. The cost of production was $250,- 000. The first picture was taken May 25, 1916; the last August 23, 1916—thir- teen weeks to a day. The cost of tlie costumes alone amounted to $35,000. Jobm W. Noble was general di- rector; associated with him were Ed- ward Elsner, assistant director; Ru- dolph De Cordova, Shakespearian adviser; Edward 1 ers, casting and costume director; Leander De Cor- dova, financial and assistant director; Harry Sothern, costume and assistant director. The scenario made from William Shakespeare’s great drama, “Romeo and Juliet,” was submitted by John Arthur and accepted; Rudolph De Cordova modified and augmented this and John W. Noble made the final changes. All the leading characters of the play really spoke Shakespeare's lines while going through the appropriate action. Whenever a player forgot a speech the camera was stopped, and he was obliged to begin over again. Several of the greatest theatrical families of America and England are ¢presented in the cast, which in- cludes a Booth, a Sothern, a Man- tell, 2 Kemble and a Hall Caine. Sl‘( hundred players were employ- ed in the production of “Romeo and Juliet.” Eighteen buildings, reproducing the old market-place of medevial Verona, A were buiit for the production. great storm destroyed these just as pictures were about to be taken and they had to be entirely rebuilt at a total of more than 0.

Mary Pickford at Farnam In “Cinderella” Today The Farnam offers Mary Pickford in “Cinderella” today. The photoplay is based on the well known story by the same name, which has pleased little girls and others for many years.

The only | tamy about the show that Mrs. Neil- |son is not directly responsible for is the music, and the musicians are out- siders, so to speak. Her oldest son handles the machines and looks after the picture bookings; another son re- lieves the patrons of the tickets they | have just bought, and a little daugh- | ter helps generally, so that accounts for the ever-p nt smile which seems to be a habit with Mrs. Neilson. ! However, she can be pretty rough at times, she says, and she named sev- eral exchange managers who w0|_|ld testify to the same, because she in- sists on having the best pictures in | the place and don’t leave till she has them. For today she offers the fol- lm\-ing program: Helen Gibson in ‘The Engineer’'s Honor,” a drama of railroad | Otto the Reporter” and *Legal \d\uc two good comedies, and Liberty, the American border se- rial picture. There will be no show Wednesday night. Manager of Grand Theater Is “Live Wire” Movie Man J. W.
