ee Dorothy Dalton’ 's Engagement for the Stage Production of “Aphrodite” Indicates that Comstock & Gest Contemplate Placing Their Plays with the Famous-Lasky Company— Marcus Loew Said to be Forming a Big Film-Theatre Cor- poration—Arizona Town to be Named in‘Honor of Tom Mix By Julian Johnson. HB egagement of Dorothy Dalton to play the part of Chrysis, the Alex- andrine courtesan of “Aphrodite,” Comstock & Gest's contemplated spectacular production at the Century Theatre, is quite the most in- teresting personal announcement in all the autumn film news, And there is much more news than appears in this announcement. I will venture to say that it preludes a working arrangement between the Famou: Players-Lasky Company and Messrs, Comstock & Gest, by which their variou pieces and spectacles, from the highly profitable and enduring “Experience’ to “Chu Chin Chow,” renowned on two continents, will find their way ‘into celluloid, Certain it is that Mies Dalton, Thomas H. Ince's chief woman star and correspondingly one of the brightest lights in the Famous Players-Lasky firmament, would not be sacrificed to the theatre for any mere monetary And I shouldn't wonder if even now quiet plans are being laid far in advance for a stupendous filming of “Aphrodite” itself, even compensation.
