New Mary Pickford Play
Story of the Mountains

Another Mary Picford play will be
released on July /. when the Famous
Players present their young star In
The Eagles Mate" by Anna Alice
Chaplin. which. a. Q novel, has bean
very popular. The scenes are laid In
the heart Of the West Virginia noun
tains. where the wild and lawless noun
tain folk live by the rule that might
Is right. and that to the strong be-
long the spoils. In the midst Of these
primitive surroundings, where civilixa-
ton Is scorned and the gentler emo
tons derided. Anemone Breckenridge,
q gentle, refined. young girl, accus-
toned to all that wealth and culturs
can bestow, who has been kidnapped by
one Of the mountaineers, - suddenly
confronted with life IN It's most brutal
and savage form. Before long her adj
miration Is won by the underlying
courage and heroism Of the people
around her, and In time she struggles
with herself to adopt their standards
as her own.
Miss Pickford's art makes the char
acter Of Anemone q dainty slip Of
beauty, girlish, wilful, and very fem
mime. The Eagles Mate Is the first
production to be directed by James
Kirkwood since he Joined the productns
stan Of the Famous Players, and q
unique In that he also assumes the
leading masculine role, that OF Lancer
Morne. the leader OF the mountain
clan.

Mr.. Lonergan is one OF the big NOV
ing picture directors and scenario
writers. Like a host of his associates
In the business, he is an old newspaper
man. Some people say that Harold
MacGra;h, who wrote the story of the
new famous million, was merely tran
scriber of Lonergan's notes in the pre-
sentatton of most of his story Be
that as it may. Lonergan is here to
take a lot of pictures for forthcoming
chapters of the screen play. Yester-
day he called on Major Sylvester and
secured the necessary permission.
Washington has, therefore, an addi-
uonal interest in the big story-a per-
soral interest, because Washington
forms part Of the mystery. 1t might
be said in passing that there are few
people who have put Washington so
charmingly on the literary map as
Harold MacGrath. Several of his stories
have had the District of Columbia for
their setting. and he makes the char
acters OF most Of his tales take at least
one trip to this city during the course
OF their working out Of his plots What
he will do in this case will be looked
for with interest

Chicago to Have Film
Shows for Adults OnIy

At Chicago city council meeting. AL
derman Ellis Geiger, after consulting
with Major NJ. L. C. Funkhouser. head
OF tho film censorship bureau. intro
duced an ordinance that they agreed
might solve a problem which hobs UP
whenever a permit is asked for a pic
ture that might teach a moral lesson to
an adult but injure the ckild's mind
Practically all the white slave films
those that touch ruptu-es with the law
and its legal guardians, the police, and
the so-callnd dope films" come in this
category. Major Funkhouser has issued
special permits for a number Of this
class OF films on condition that minors
be excluded from houses where they are
shown: but as there Is 10 ordinance
provision covering such a permit, the
condition has not been any stronger
than merely "a gentIeman's agreement"
The Geigcr ordinance authorizes the Is
suance of two sorts of Dermits-one for
general and unlimited exhibition, tho
other for presentation of a picture to
audiences consisting entirely of persons
made NJ Of eighteen years Of age or
older. 1t does not provide for cIassif-
cations CT houses. but that. 1t is expect
ed. viii develop after the plan is Put In
operation.
The present rule Of censors Is to in
spect al pictures through tho eyes of
child" This. in addition to barring
a large number Of films completely,
leads 10 what manufacturers frequently
charge Is extreme severity in ordering
cut outs" Under the proposed system,
him owner could present IL for in
spection for permit in either class, so
that one would have to lie trimmed for
general permit and could be saved
intact for one issued for adults cnly."
1t Is relieved the result of the issuance
OF large number of this sort of IL
censcs world lead the proLrietors of the
DOWNTOWN Lighthouses TO present pictures
for adults exclusively ard bar children
from their houses at all times. This,
however. brings up a rumter OF big
propositions TO be considered, notably
the cutting of n film like The Scarlet
Letter" and other instances of trans
positions from standard literature and
the CLASSICS that seem to lave been
dealt with with unusual severity by the
board of censors.

Try the Ostrich Wobble"

Did you ever hear Of the Ostrich
wobble?" Well. neither did the rest Of
the world until Director Allan Curtis,
of the Joker Comedy Company. decided
that he needed q new dance with a new
name for his latest scream" Love,
Roses, and Trousers Jolly Wiggle."
Slippery Dip Chocolate Blanc
Mango" "Oozy Ooze," and a few others
have become so popular that they are
commonplace.
I'VE won't be commonplace. said
Curtis, and tore his hair. We will have
a new dance and a new name" Much
cogitating finally resulted in a series of
steps which Mr.. Curtis himself had de-
vised.
Now a name for it" More cogita-
ting and then THE Ostrich Wobble." 1t
threatens to rival all the other dances
of shaky names, at least among photo
