A novel and interesting as well as time
ly window display Is being shown by the
firm of Berberich's at their Pennsylvania
avenue. store. 1t consists of the regula-
ton army boots worn by the soldiers OF
the contendlng forces in Europe and
those worn by Uncle Sans soldiers and
sailors
There Is as wide a divergence In the
footwear as there is in the uniforms
themselves. Most of them are made with
the smooth side of the leather on the in
side, unlike the usual shoe and unlike the
American regulation army boot.
All are evidently constructed with a
view TO the utilitarian rather than to the
artistic, and IT is a far cry indeed from
the rough, uncouth boot that is worn in
the trenches to the dainty Easter models
displayed in the adjacent window

Griffith, with his chief photogra-
pher, @. w. Bitter. took his station on
tower sixty feet high and from
which he commanded a view Of the
entire battlefield. Straight down from
this viewpoint stretched the opposing
trenches for a distance of nearly FIVE
miles. At many points the rival
trenches were less than forty yards
apart This proximity was warranted
by historical records of the fight at
petersburg, where it is known that
the trenches were closer to each other
than ever known before or since in
actual warfare
Men nurses were employed in the
hospital corps as it was decided not
to have any women on the battlefield
owing to the risk of injury. There
were slightly wounded every day for
three weeks during the time the bat
tie scenes were being rehearsed and
acted to keep five doctors busy all the
time.

Griffth's signal for action is the
magic word to his followers: Cam
era" Every detail of the great scenes
had been thoroughly gone over for
three weeks when the day came for
hhiS SiB nal. ny an GldBOEdle system OF
wigwags and underground telephones
Griffith was in constant touch with
the commanders of each of the sixteen
battalions. These in turn were covered
by separate cameras to get minute de-
tails of their part of the action. When
the battle began he remained on the
signal tower and at the needed mo-
ment flashed TO his different battalion
chiefs the signal for their entrance

Der were too far away to be reached
by wigwags and these were signalled
by telephone. Think of directing the
rhythmic energies OF ten regiments
of warriors so that not a flaw could
be registered by the unerring camera.
These results were obtained without
a hitch, except that the first day the
picture was begun proved a hzzle
Some thoughtless- lieutenant touched
off a great store of shells and the
camera lost its vision in clouds of
yellow smoke that envelOped the bat

of dollars, to say nothing of the dis

was all he said, and he smiled as he
walked off to bed to rest for the try
ing ordeal of the next day.
A striking detail of this produc-
tion of staggering details is that hav-
ing sketched out the scenario in his
mind, Griffith never had a scrap of
paper before him to prompt his work.
For over five months he carried every
detail in his memory and in the end
from memory alone dictated the cut
tings and reedjustments which assem-
bled 10000 feet of constructive drama
out of the entire mass of over 100000
feet of original film.
He also suggested and worked out
for his own satisfaction every motif

are ready-made for musical comedy"
Before the evening was over, the
two had begun work upon Come to
Bohemia" 1t was not the first time
that they had coIlaboratsd along this
theme of Partisan life. Mr.. Chappell
had supplied the book to Mr. MurchI-
sons music, for all of the musical
plays for the Beaux Arts Society, a
notable organization OF artists and art
patrons.
Mr.. ChappelI is in his early thirties
and is a member OF the ChappeIl fam
lily that has been identified with the
Yale University for several genera
the plays for the K. D. E. Society, and
number of Yale men have formed
special theater party to attend the
opening of his play here.

afternoons at the piano and orchestra
tion stand, for with Characteristic re-
gard for detail, he insists always on
laying out the orchestrations himself.
He is a graduate of the School of Fine
Arts at Columbia, and studied harmony
there, under the best teachers in this
country. When he went to Paris he
attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts, he
also became the pupil of Francis
Touehe, who has the reputation of
having developed more musical talent
in that city than any other conductor
composer.

selected Jacques Coini, long identified
as the producer of French opera in
this country, to stage the new musical
comedy. 1t was Mr.. CoinI who pro-

LAUNCHES PRODUCTION

novel musical project was launch
ed Thursday evening. April 81, at the
Maxine Elliott Theater, in New York,
when the stuyvesant Producing Com
psny made its initial production,
Come to Bohemia This new organ
ization, formed recently by wealthy
patrons Of music, has the lsudable aim
of producing light musical pieces writ
ten and composed solely by Americans.
Largely owing to the tremendous ex-
pense Of producing musical comedies
and the unusual risk attached to them,
clever AmericAn-mAde operettAs have
been tabled for operettAs which have
stood the test of long runs in foreign
capitals. The Stuyvesant Producing
Company believes there is equal musi-
cal talent here. were it but given the
chance.
This country has been overrun with
English, French, German and par
tiCuraly Yisnnese light musical produc-
tions," explains an announcement of
the new producing company. The rea-
son for this deluge Of foreign products
is not so much because there is a pre-
pondersnce of musical talents abroad
as it Is for the very commercial rea-
son that it is financially safer to pro-
ducs a known success from abroad
than the unknown work Of an Amerl-
can. Rarely, IL ever. is a new composer
given an opportunity, simply because
a manager does not care to gamble
from $4,000 to $4,000 on the public's
taste when he has an opportunity to
secure q London, Berlin or Vienna
success"
f'Coms to Bohemia was chosen after
a score or more Of operettas by the
most prominent libretSsts and COM
posers in America had been consider
ed. It is the work of George S. Chap
pell, well known as q magazine and
lyric writer, and Kenneth NJ. Murchi-
son, one OF the most brilliant young
composers in this country. Together
they have sought to bring to the mu-
sical comedy stage the genuine atmos-
phere Of the students life in Paris
where they studied together at the
Ecole des Bsaux Arts.
Last year when Mr.. Chappell and Mr..
Murchison we're summering on Long
Island, Mr.. Murchison chancefully said,
upon reading Mr.. Chappelrs stories of
the Latin quarter in q current maga-
zine: 1T Is a shame that we can't put
this Bohemian stuff on the stage"
There is no reason why we can't"
