Alphonse Gorman Assoc. First National Comes “Smilin’ Through” Alphonse Gorman, much __ better known as “Jim,” the genial and popular manager of the Montreal branch of Associated First National Pictures Corporation, has put through a big picture at the Allen, starring Norma Talmadge, and entitled “Smilin’ Through.” It is a bird and has been playing to big business. Jim says the picture is typical of the atmosphere in his office which despite the gloom and pessimism pervading some corners of the Albee Building, where the most of the film exchanges in Montreal are parked, is always sunshiny and setting a good example to the rest. Nothing ever bothers Jim who appears to be “Smilin’ Through” and getting through as much work as two other men.

race was run for picture purposes only, he actually was beaten.
“L have delighted in this opportunity to do picture work, party because it brings me back into close association with fine horses, and party because it provides some of the old fascination and excitement that went with my track experience. This race, for instance, was far more dangerous than any of the hard-fought races that involved big money during the days when racing was one of the greatest of American sports.”

March 22nd, 1922. Mr. J. W. O’Mahoney, Educational Film Exchanges, Ine., 370 Seventh Avenue, New York City. Dear Mr. O'Mahoney :—
It afforded me extreme pleasure in putting on your special scenic to Charles Kingsley’s poem, “The Three Fishers,” entitled “And Women Must Weep,” at the opening of Loew’s New State Theatre, Boston, Mass., on March 13th, and I want to assure you that both film and my simple little musical interpretation were very highly appreciated by the audience.
I used the following music score. which is not only very effective, but so simple, that anyone can put it over successfully. First, I used the “William Tell” Overture with lights up. 1 then followed with the “Nautical Fantasia” published by Carl Fisher, screening the picture at the end of the first strain of the “Nautical Fantasia” and continued to play this Fantasia until the three wives were returning home from seeing their fisherman husbands off at the beach. We then segued into the storm scene of “William Tell,” played it once through and continued right into the 3-8 movement of “William Tell,” known as the oboe solo; played that once through and finished the picture with “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.”
It is a hundred to one shot that “And Women Must Weep” will go over big, if handled in this manner. Yours very sincererly,
ERNST LUZ, General Musical Director, Loew’s, Inc.
A Picture, A Song, A Story In “My Wild Irish Rose”
Vitagraph has again done the unusual in an attractive adaptation of both a song and a story—each one a classic —to the screen. “My Wild Trish Rose” which has just been completed, combines the sweetness of Chauncey Olcott’s song, and Dion Baucicault’s famous stage success, “The Shaughraun.”
Trish romance, music, wit, a rich Irish brogue, replete with folk lore, and a wealth of scenic beauty are blended into this unusual story.
Director David Smith, in the opinion of those who have seen the picture, has filmed another big picture in “My Wild Irish Rose”—one that will live on with “Black Beauty” and ‘The Little Minister.”
“My Wild Irish Rose” is for release June first.
