A Notable Week
At the Plaza.

out at the Cosy Plaza Theatre
there is TO be seen next week some
of the most satisfying photo-plays
that are appearing upon the screen
today. Nat Goodwin, for instance,
premier among our comedians, will
be at this theatre on Monday in a
heart touching drama, entitled THE
Master Hand" The story is of man
who marries a rich widow, and as
she does not die according to his ex-
pectation, drugs her until she is ap-
parently insane. She is committed to
an ASYLUM and then-but go to the
Plaza and find out for yourself.
''Dr. Rameau," with Frederick
Perry, is Tuesdays feature. 1t is a
human drama of wonderful appeal.
Arnold DAILY is on the Plaza screen
Wednesday in "The Menace of the
Mute" Here intelligence is matched
against the wit of criminals through
5000 feet of film, and every situation
thrills. There is besides a tender love
story, which is very delightful.
Thursdays feature is Beulah Poyn-
ter, in that charming picture, Hearts
and Flowers"
Friday peerless Theda Bara visits
the Plaza in perturbation of Lady
Audleys Secret" story which has
fascinated millions in two genera
tions. No one really grasps this
story until he has seen it as por-
trayed by Theda Bara.
Saturday should be red letter day
at the Plaza, for in addition to eight
reels of pictures and the final chapter
of Neal of the Navy, there is to be
an unusually large vaudeville bill.

vided a Notable Program
for Its Patrons.

neglected wife who seeks amusement
in the company of an INSCRIPTIONS
Italian novelist whose only object in
making love TO her is the hope of
eventually accomplishing her down
fall. The reawakening of the hus-
band, and the saving Of the innocent
woman, make story of the deepest
interest That sterling actor, Charles
Cherry. is featured in this picture.
The bill for Wednesday and Thurs
day is notable not for its size alone,
but for it's quality. There is that
thrilling melodrama of China and
San Francisco, 1.-THE Sable Lorcha,"
adapted from Horace Hazeltine's s
novel of the same name, and telling
the same engrossing story There is
"Matrimony," in which Julia Deane
embodies the woman who so cunning
ly wins her husband from his infatu-
alton for another woman. Then there
are two inimitable comedies, His
Fathers Foodsteps," with Ford Ster-
ling, and that wonderful farce with
oriental settings "Stolen Magic" one
of Raymond Hitehcock's successes.
Beautiful Pauline Frederick comes
to the United States Palace on Fri
day and Saturday in a picturization
of Robert Hichen's fascinating novei,
bella Donna" The novel was a
'best seller" as all remember. When
dramatized, NaZimova won her first
American triumph in it, Now that
it is upon the screen the genius of
Pauline Frederick lends itself to per-
haps the most striking of all the tell
ings of the story.

now Do THEY DO ITq

One Of the most remarkable tricks
successfully and convincingly exc
cuted in motion picture is a scene
which was completed in the streets of
New York for the wonderful Rolfe-
Metro production, THE House OF
Tears" In this feature picture Emily
Stevens, the brilliant stage and screen
star, plays a dual role, that Of mother
and daughter. She had several scenes
with herself" but the most remark
able is where she is riding in a big
automobile and runs down her own
daughter, Miss Stevens playing both
parts in the scene. This ingenious ef-
feet was obtained under the mastery
direction of Edwin Carewe, who also
directed the wonder photoplay, "Des-
tiny, or the Soul of a Woman" in
which Miss Stevens is starred.

TIE VOICE NEEDED.
Calvin Campbell and Eugene Besserer
Found 1t Necessary to Take a Ger
tain Scene in the French.


Many people think the voice is of
no use in enacting scenes before the
camera. The story of the film is told
by natural movements of the eyes,
hands, Hps-in short, by the entire
body in accord with the emotions to
be portrayed. The inharmony of any
member of the body causes a slight
discrepancy, possibly unnoticed by the
producing staff, but never overlooked
by the cold, accurate eye of the
camera as it wisely opens and closes
sixteen times to the second. One sees
by this that the lips must also be in
accord with the scenes.
This experience Eugene Besserer
forcefully emphasized recently. She
was cast for an emotional French ac-
tress, who speaks English fiuently.
Of course, this gave her the use of the
English language in her part. Finally
the climax of the piece was reached.
This scene was called for rehearsal
Miss BesSerer threw herself into her
part with the Zest which places her
among the first rank of emotional ac-
tresses. However, the scene fell short
of Director Campbell's expectations.
He rehearsed the action again and
again, but still was not satisfied
There is just q tiny false note there
but / can't get it," said Campbell, as
he dejectedly threw away forty-nine
cents worth of an unused cigar.
Under stress of emotion would not
this character revert to her native
tongue"' questioned Miss Besserer.
TRY speaking French then" said
Campbell shortly. Lets rehearse it
again"
Miss Besserer began in French. She
had not spoken dozen words before
Campbell signaled his camera man to
grind the scene. The very note had
been found. Her command of French
gave her lights and shades that Eng
lish will not allow. The scene was
successful; there was not dry eye
in the studio at it's conclusion.

HEIRLooMs USED IN FILM.

Three priceless oil paintings were
used by Director Arthur Maude in
"The Wrath of Haddon Towers" a
three-reel Clipper production. in
which he and Miss Constance Craw-
ley take the leading roles. The paint
ings were inherited by Mr.. Maude
from an English ancestor, and are
carried about by the actor on his
travels about the world. Mr.. Maude
prefers to run the risk of having his
treasures damaged by the rigors of
travel than to leave the paintings in
the care of someone other than him
self.

COMING EVENTS IN MUSIC
1. FOR NEWARK AND VICINITY

ter. on Forty-ninth street.
The harpsiehord is practically an
instrument of former days, but for
some of the old-fashioned chamber
music it still retains its place. In
fact some of the old style chamber
music will only take a harpsichord
accompaniment. In this concert Mr..
Spalding and Mr.. Whiting have
chosen the e major sonata, and
sonata In d minor by Arcangelo
Corelli. Corelli, who lived during the
latter part OF the seventeenth and
early part of the eighteenth centuries,
has written much music on this or
der. The second number on the pro-
gram for harpsiehord and violin is
the Mozart sonata in G major in two
movements. The third and last num-
ber on the program will be the
Brahme sonata in D minor for violin
and piano.

a promise Of the coming Of Fritz
Kreisler Is promise worth while.
Next to his chun, John Mccormack,
3<relsler is said to be the best
audience getter among musicians.
Mr.. Kreisler's work alone has made
this possible. He Is undoubtedly the
greatest of living violinists, and
withal the most modest. He Is one
OF a very few men who have risen to
heights who still consider their
hearers.
It has been often complained that
The great violin virtuosi have neg
lected their audiences for their own
qualification. This Is an element that
is absolutely lacking in Mr.. Kreisler's
makeup. 1t is his custom TO have
his program made up of such works
as best meet the minds of those in
his audience, and in this policy, he
has made a vast number of very good
friends.
II is said of Mr.. Kreisler that he
has broken ell records for any in
Htrumental artist that has ever come
to America in the number OF people
who have heard him and In the
amount of money with the single ex-
ception of PaderewslSi.
