A $50,000 motion picture bouse will be built by R. A. Rowland and J. G*. Clark, owners of several 6uch enterprises, at Penn avenue and Kirk wood street, East Liberty. Plans have been completed by Architect H. S. Blair and will probably be the first submitted to Com- missioner John Price Jackson under the re- cent regulations, for his approval. Alice Carroll, slater of Earl Carroll, song writer, has become a member of the Pitt stock company. Newspaper critics confused Louise Mackin- tosh and Violet Zell In giving credit In their reviews of "The Lady and the Slipper." MIhs Zell weighs a scant 100 pounds and does the whirlwind dancing, and Miss Mackintosh weighs about half as much again, and does not attempt much of that work. This made the blunder a good Joke among the members of the company. MILWAUKEE By P. O. MOR43AN. MAJESTIC (James A. Hlgler, mgr.; agent, Orph).
