ADVANCE PRESS ST ORES — continued STOP “GREEN EYES” EXHORTERS? NO! NO! Comical Incident While Filming New Dalton Photoplay. HEN Director R. William Neill, while filming “Green Eyes” for Paramount with Dorothy Dalton in the star part, undertook to stop a negro camp-meeting after it had got going, he found he was up against the toughest problem in his career. True, it was only an imitation camp-meeting, but the exhorters, when they started exhorting ; the singers, when they began to sing, all refused to stop. So they stopped grinding on the scene, one of the most humorous in the picture, and waited ten minutes till the throng of colored brethren and sisters decided it was time to quit. “Green Eyes” is a story of jealousy and what it leads to. But the picture is full of comedy and a splendid vehicle for Dorothy Dalton, one of the loveliest and most graceful young women on the screen. “Green Eyes” comes to the Theatre on Charming Photography HOTOGRAPHIC values and beauty far beyond the average combine to make “Green Eyes,” the Paramount picture now being shown at the Theatre, exceptional, particularly when it is stated that a strong plot and wonderful cast are also included. Dorothy Dalton is the star and Jack Holt, her supporting lead, with a fine aggregation of players portraying the other characters. John S. Stumar did the photographic work and G. Harold Percival was art director. R. William Neill directed the picture. This combination resulted in a picture that is pleasing to the eye and appealing to the mind and heart. DOROTHY DALTON DISCUSSES FILM Star of “Green Eyes” Says Jealousy Should Be Shunned. T'X ISCUSSING her new photoplay, “Green Eyes,” the splendid Paramount feature which will be shown at the Theatre next , Dorothy Dalton, the celebrated star, said that jealousy, which is the theme of her latest starring vehicle, is one of the greatest evils in a world that has many undesirable things in it, as well as much that is wonderful and lovely. “There is never anything lovely about jealousy,” she says. “It breaks hearts and homes and never did a bit of good in the knowledge of man. If I can show in this great picture, which was produced by Thomas H. Ince, that jealousy is a thing to be shunned like a plague, I will feel I have done some real good in the world.” Jack Holt heads the support of Miss Dalton in this picture. The story is southern in atmosphere and among the amusing features is a real old Southern camp-meeting wherein hundreds of colored extras are employed. Doris Lee Talented DRETTY Doris Lee is one of the -*■ Thomas H. Ince discoveries and she appears to advantage in Paramount pictures. She has a daintily pleasing role in “Green Eyes,” the new Dorothy Dalton picture, which comes to the ; . Theatre next ....... Miss Lee is talented and is making a steady upward climb in her screen work. The picture is said to be one of the most dramatic and emotional in the roster of recent screen attractions. Certain it is that Miss Dalton will enhance any story by her personal charm and in this production she has a superior cast as well. M’KIM A FAMOUS FILM MISCREANT But Nevertheless Fine Paramount Player Is Whole-Souled Chap. D OBERT McKIM is one of the A ^ most whole-souled villains in the entire galaxy of film miscreants. He has been hissed and hated by more screen patrons, probably, than almost any other actor. There is something about the very look of his eyes and the waxed ends of his supercilious mustache that make you want to take him out and beat him to a pulp. And the odd thing about it is that McKim is a splendid chap, liked by all who know him — off the screen. He appears as the heavy man in “Green Eyes,” Dorothy Dalton’s new Paramount picture, produced by Thomas H. Ince and directed by R. William Neill. It will be an attraction at the Theatre on \ . . . next. An Artistic Director FT WILLIAM NEILL is one of * '* the most artistic of film directors and under Thos. H. Ince’s supervision is succeeding in turning out some of the finest photoplays that have been released under the Paramount banner. Dorothy Dalton is star of the pictures directed by Mr. Neill and the latest is “Green Eyes,” a southern tale with jealousy as the motive and much comedy relief, which will be shown at the. . . . Theatre next Jack Holt is leading man for fyliss Dalton in a role that differs from anything he has previously done. In fact, the picture is more or less a distinct novelty. Notice to Jealous Men JEALOUS men, take notice! If you desire to be cured, see Dorothy Dalton in her new Paramount photoplay, “Green Eyes,” at the Theatre next This should show you how baseless jealousy is and how faith and trust bring happiness to human lives. 15
