Halsted Street, Box 80 CHICAGO The Shadow Stage ( Concluded) ing way, and such other honors as remain in the piece are gobbled up by Macy Har1am, as the Apache. Robert Elliott does a straightforward and pleasing piece of work as Otis Mayne, the eventual saviour and '.over of one of the girls. ''Back Stage" (Paramount) A new Roscoe Arbuckle comedy, with the usual Arbuckle rapidity and unlimited, uproarous "hokum." However, I did not like this as well as either of Mr. Arbuckle's last two releases. "Turning the Tables" (Paramount) A characteristic Dorothy Gish comedy, with the quaint little humoresque of the Gish family strongly supported by people like George Fawcelt and Eugenie Besserer. "It Pays to Advertise" (Paramount) Bryant Washburn, in the chief role of the renowned stage comedy, supported by Lois Wilson, Frank Currier, Walter Hiers, Julie Fa>e and Guy Oliver. "The Trembling Hour" (Universal) -^This is a murder mystery play with a hero suffering from shellshock and in danger of a death sentence. Suspense is its principal appeal. Kenneth Harlan has the central role. "Dangerous Waters" (Robertson-Cole) — William Desmond displays an aptitude for comedy of which he has not always been suspected, in "Dangerous Waters." This melodrama is relieved frequently by the humor provided by Desmond and Walter Sperry. Conserye^ food perfectly Plays and Players (Continued jrom page 94) VIOLET HEMIXG niu.t have made "Everywoman" a pretty real figure on the screen. At any rate Famous Players has signed her under a long-term contract. HOW would you like to hire out your husband? Enid Bennett-Niblo loaned her director, Fred Niblo, to Louise Giaum — but onlj' for one picture. MRS. REX BE.ACH has chosen two more girls to play in her husband's produc-J lions. You remember she introduced Kay, Laurell to the screen in "The Brand." Now' she has engaged little blonde Lillian Hall,' who was Beth in Brady's "Little Women, "I and Helen Fergu'^on from Blackton's to play in "Going Some," now under way at Culver! City. TEDDY SAMPSON, the petite brunette better-half of comedian Ford Sterling, will again have a part in film affairs. She has been engaged by Christie to star in Strand comedies. THE first film star to volunteer her services as a troop leader for the Girl Scouts organization is Marguerite Clark. Whether she did it because she is about the size of most girl scouts or because she fills all the requirements demanded of a leader, i.e., such accomplishments as baking pies, tending babies, sewing, nursing, and bedmaking — she has gone into it for all she's worth — which is, since Marguerite is one of the thriftiest film ladies, quite a tidy little sum. NIGEL BARRIE is enjoying the open season for ducks. Fancy a leading man who goes out for ducks before day-break — and breakfast? No — neither can we. Anyway, Nigel is in Del Monte, California, on location with the Katherine McDonald company, and he finds time between shots to take several at the ducks. TO speak in the patois, Bill Hart has nothing on Will Rogers. Will says "he, too, wrote a book once, and that if he'd had another match he would have written another book. BEN WILSON is to have an opportunity to stretch his versatile imagination over fifteen more episodes of thrills. He will be assisted in this second serial, as in "The Trail of the Octopus," by Neva Gerber. CARROLL McCOMAS, one of the more distinguished young ladies of the theatre, will make her first film appearance with Bob Warwick in "Jackstraws." Her contract provides, however, that she will be Erery advertisement in PHOTOPI-AT JI.\OAZINE Is guaranteed. given more important parts to play as she becomes camera-wise. She is noted, chiefly, for having contributed many splendid performances to the war entertainments for our boys. DORIS KENYON made her return to the stage during the month of O. ober, in Manhattan, in a frisque farce called "The Girl in the Limousine," by Avery Hopwood. The part she plays doesn't call for much in a dramatic line; in fact, Doris, encased in shimmering robe-de-nuit, displays more talmts in lines silent liian spoken. She isn't going to give up her film woik. WILLIAM HUMPHREY, who used to call forth shudders of silence when he was the villain in the old-time Vitagrapli plays, has come back to that company in a directorial capacity. His first production is one in which Gladys Leslie appears. THE stage has put one over on the movies. In Manhattan there is a play called "A Voice in the Dark" which is distinctly a novelty — it is a novelty and little else. It has the advantage over the pictures because while some of the play you can only see, as it is enacted in pantomime, there is another part that you can only hear — the action takes place in the dark. It concerns two versions of the same murder: as a deaf woman saw it, and as a blind man heard it. The caption is worthy of the catch-lines of some of our exhibitors: "See How the L'ght Conceals — See How the Dark Reveals I" NORMA TALMADGE had a party in the month of October. It was in celebration of the third anniversary of her marriage to Joseph Schenck, her manager. Irving Berlin staged the affair and chose as decorations posters of the various Talmadge film successes. He also had the orchestra play "The New Moon," a song dedicated to Norma in her picture of that name. Mr. Schenck presented his beautiful brunette wife with an ermine cape and a gold jewel case. The whole thing calls to mind Norma's career: her beginnings at Vitagraph, where she played everything from babies to old ladies; her achievement of feature-dom in Blackton's "The Battle-Cry of Peace." She left for the West to star for a new company; but nothing much ever came of that venture. Triangle-Fine Arts got her out there, however, and with that engagement came real recognition. Then she married Joseph Schenck, and her long line of successes followed— beginning with "Panthea," the initial Talmadge passion-drama.
