Characters from Book in Prologue Characters from Frances Hodgson Burnett's "Little Lord Fauntleroy," stepped from the pages of that memorable book, in the prologue, upon the stage of the Brooklyn Mark Strand when Mary Pickford appeared at that theatre in the screen version. Managing Director Edward L. Hyman cast operatic stars in the roles for "The Little Lord Fauntleroy" stage presentation. The scene used was the interior of a huge English baronial hall, the central object being a huge fireplace with a great yew log blazing. "The Battle of Jutland," Educational's remarkable picture of the great sea conflict of the World War, is attracting great interest among the officers and men of the United States Navy. High ranking naval officers, among them Rear Admiral W. S. Sims, have expressed a keen desire to see and study the picture, and following its successful week's run at the Rialto Theatre in New York, Educational is preparing to give at least two, and perhaps three showings of the film for the benefit of navy officers and students. The office of the Secretary of the Navy has given recognition to the picture by making arrangements for its showing at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Students at the Academy and officers on duty there will view the picture at this showing. Just before or just after this screening, Educational will present "The Battle of Jutland" at the Marine Barracks in Washington, at which showing the officers on duty at the Navy Department will have an opportunity to view the motion picture. Enlisted Men at Shoiving A third special presentation of the picture is likely to follow at the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island, for the benefit of Rear Admiral Sims and other officers at the college. Admiral Sims, who is a friend of Major General Sir George Aston, whose two years of constant study and work made the filming of the picture possible, has expressed interest in this film study of the world's greatest naval conflict, and it is more than likely that it will provide material for extensive study at the War College as well as at Annapolis. During the entire week of the showing of "The Battle of Jutland" at the Rialto naval men, both officers and enlisted men, were very noticeable in every audience. Men from the ships now in New Yorkwaters were at the theatre in large numbers every day, evidencing the interest in the remarkable film hisstory of the great battle in every rank of the navy. Interest among the general public was just as keen, however, and frequent bursts of applause greeted the progress of the picture at each showing. Several New York newspapers, including the Evening Telegram, Journal of Commerce and DailyNews Record, referred to the picture as "marvelous," while the Evening Post declared that "one can safely say that 'The Battle of Jutland' is unique." Newspapers Praise -Film The Evening Telegram calls "The Battle of Jutland" a "marvelous reproduction of the battle between the British and German fleets in the North Sea." "Little models of the ships were employed in re-producing the maneuvers and fighting of the contending fleets," says the Telegram, "but so realistically has it been done, so dramatically has the fight been laid out upon the model 'checkerboard,' that the specator believes he is upon some high vantage point overlooking the historic conflict. "Torpedoes worm their fatal white line toward enemy ships, fire flashes from the ships' sides, there are great flashes, whirling of waters and ships disappear below the surface. "It is said that 3,000,000 movements were made by the little models and that one year was spent in making the photographs. There can be nc doubt as to these statements after seeing the picture." "School Days" Harry Rapf presented Warner Brothers' "School Days,'" featuring Wesley Barry on Sunday, November 27, in the Tiger Room of the Sherman. Not satisfied with giving exhibitors this excellent Sunday entertainment, Mr. Rapf had the entire Gus Edwards revue as an additional feature, and the result was one of the most successful trade showings ever attempted in Chicago.
