PRETTY MOVIE ACTRESS
OPPOSES STAGE KISSES
Alice Joyce Tells of Her Debut
Upon the Picture
Stage.

No one who has seen Alice Joyce
on the screens needs to be told that
she is strikingly beautiful. But she
has more to commend her to the
favor OF the motion picture theatre
patrons in the possession OF talents
OF high order as an actress. 1t was
to her beauty she owed her first ap-
pearance in a screen picture. The
photo-play directors were about to
produce a play requiring an unusually
pretty girl. They heard Of Alice
Joyce, whose fame as a beauty was
already widespread among New York
artists and art photographers for
whom she had posed. and she was
engaged. Then 1t was seen that she
was much more than q mere beauty
and that she was really an actress
needing only development to mani
fest her full powers.
The writer visited Miss Joyce for
the purpose of learning something
of her experience as a photo-play
actress and began by asking about
her first appearance.
my first picture was called The
Engineers sweetheart said Miss
Joyce in relating the Incident land
during several of the scenes I had
to ride a horse along a railroad track.
/ was not an expert rider then and
I had several bad falls. IT was a
strenuous experience, and, although
1 had determined to win out as a
screen actress, I about made up my
mind to give up when the picture
should be completed. The director,
however started another photo-play
before we finished the first one. SO
I kept on and gradually succeeded"
1 asked the actress If she believes
that the future picture players will
develop exclusively in the film field.
individual" answered Miss Joyce.
while it Is spendid thing to
have stage training under skillful d.
rectors and in association with ar
lists. the picture work calls upon
elements that are not brought out
in the regular drama. Thus 1t has
been necessary for many who have
been successful on the stage to learn
things anew when they have entered
the picture field.
Outdoor acting calls upon more
capabilities than studio work and Is
therefore more taxing" Miss Joyce
said when / suggested a comparison
of studio and outdoor acting re-
quirements In experience and ability.
"One is obliged to swim, ride and
take part in all manner of athletics,
At different times I have run a
locomotive. handled the wheel of a
tug, and steered a schooner. These
things are all part of the days
occupation, and one must keep In
good physical condition to be pre-
pared when called upon for unusual
tasks" Miss Joyce Is herself an

CLASSIC RAGT|ME
At MINER THEATRE

Some Of the celebrated performers
in the "legit" branch of theatricals
could take lessons from the players
In 1.-THE Dreamland Burlesquers, now
at Miners Empire Theatre, on how
to initiate celebrities. In the second
act of the musical offering called
"Dreamland" the audience Is sud
denly brought to Washington in the
company of such notables as Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson, Secretary OF
State William Jennings Bryan, for
mer President Theodore Roosevelt,
John D. Rockefeller and a number OF
prominent senators. The makeup OF
the imitators ts excellent and there
is considerable fun at the expense OF
BILLY" Bryan, who is guyed for
speech-loving propensities.
AS for Teddy Roosevelt. n. B.
Hunter made an excellent portrayal
of that statesman, but forgot he was
in New Jersey when he sought TO
make a hit by promising to dispos-
sess Wilson from the White House
four years hence. The threat IN
doubtedly made hit in other parts.
but Wilson Is q New Jersey product
and the attempt to gain applause fell
fiat. That line will have to be altered
considera bly, for this week.
Ed Johnston as Dusty Rhoades Is
the leader in the fun-making and Is
ably assisted by his co-star. Miss
jeanette Buckley, who plays the part
of Maggie Mooney. These two give
several specialties in which they enact
the scenes between a Bowery tough
and his equally polite best gal" Here
the audience is treated to real bur
lesque.
The feature of the entire show Is
the violin playing OF a young man
who calls himself "Violine." but why
he does not use his own name is a
mystery. The youngster is an artist
of no mean ability and Is given a
number of opportunities to show his
talents. It was significant that his
rendition of the classics calls forth
much more applause than his rag
time selections.
The chorus is composed OF coll
lection of lively girls, a few Of whom
are able to sing well, and all OF them
with a number of stunning costumes.
Others who star in the performance
are william Moosey, Jim Dixon, Lew
Christy, James Newton. Frank STAN

MISS BROWNE[L IS
BACK IN ORPHEUM

Home Again Week" is the name
this week In honor of the return of
Miss Mabel Brownell and Clifford

have won the hearts of so many
thousands. They now have their own
stock company. For the opening
week Miss Brownell and Mr.. Stork
present Eleanor Robson's success,
Merely Mary Ann" by Israel Fang
Will. The four-act comedy drama
affords ample opportunity for Miss
Brownell to display her artistic
talents In the character of Mary Ann.
known as the London "slavey."
Mary Ann, a unique rural character,
Is sent to London upon the death Of
her parents. She goes to work in a
lodging-house as a maid of all work
and while there meets a proud COM
poser by the name of Lancelot, played
by Mr.. Stork. Lancelot is the only
one of the many boarders who takes
an interest in Mary Ann. Lancelot
has been very unsuccessful in having
his compositions accepted by the
music publishers and decides to leave
London and to take Mary Ann with
him. But Lancelot's plans are thrown
to the wind by an unexpected turn
in the life of the poor little London
"slayey." A brother who she has
not seen for many years dies and
wills her 100000. When learning of
this windfall Lancelot tells Mary Ann
that he cannot take her with him
unless they were married, and under
the existing conditions he could not
even marry her, as people would be
saying that he had married her for
her money.
Miss Brownell has excelled In many
parts. but her portrayal of this little
country maiden is without exception
one of her best. and before the close
of the present week she will add many
new admirers to her present long
list. Mr. Stork is excellent as the
struggling young composer. Many
new faces arc seen in the cast. but
several of the old favorites still re-
main.
Edward Van Sloan, the popular

the applause upon his first appear

poor LITTLE RICH GIRL
FINDS HEARTS AT NEWARK

in the dream party with such SINGER
ity that when she took her curtain
call at the end of the second act sew
eral earnest persons in the gallery
expressed themselves in Kisses.
Frank Currier was most effective in
a quiet way as the kind-hearted or
gan grinder.
The story of The Poor Little Rich
Girl is simple enough It is its ar
tistic treatment that gives It It's grip.
In the first act we find Gwendolyn
in the big hal of her parents home.
1t Is her birthday. There are n Won
derful cake and many elaborate toys,
but Gwendolyn is unhappy. She
doesn't want the attention of her
governess and the horde of under
teachers and maids; she wants to go
to day school, to play and run and
shout with boys and girls. And her
heart hungers for the love and COM
partnership of a mother and father
whom she barely knows.
A dinner party is scheduled for the
evening, and Gwendolyn, In honor of
her birthday. is to be permitted to
come down later and visit with the
guests; but this arrangement inter-
feres with Nurse James plans. Jane
sends Thomas. the footman, for some
sleeping medicine" that Gwendolyn
may sleep through the evening and
permit Jane to do as she likes.
Gwendolyn receives an overdose of
the poison, and Ii is during her de-
lirium that she travels along the road
of dearest fancy to the tell-tale for
est. where there is no duplicity. to
the land Of light, where candles burn
at both ends, and at last to Robin
Hoods barn. where they" go round,
and folks ride hobby horses, and the
good, kind hobby-rider pulls her
through the barn window to light and
home and safety.
In the last act we are shown the
nursery, with Gwendolyn her own
little self once more. Opening her
eyes she turns to the doctor AMI says:
We'll, you pulled me through" and
then. wide-eyed, she sees her mother
and father weep and realizes that in
future they are to be really and
truly hers. to have and to love. And
they're going to the country, where
Gwendolyn may be a real little girl,
and not fine hammered manikin, and

fishes and picks up worms with his
fingers and scuffs in the dirt.
