Marc McDermott is One of the
Ablest Screen Actors in
the Country.

That Marc McDermott meets vide
ly different Characterization is to be
expected Of q player whose stage ca
reer has extended over three con-
tinents with some Of the most dis
tinguished stars, ranging from Shake
spearean tragedies to the lightest
comedy. Mr.. McDermott is fine
type Of tho actor that the lin has at
tracted and held with credit to both.
So long has he been with Edison and
has appeared in so many Edison plays
that one name almost suggests the
other. Mr.. McDermott is dominating
ly the character he represents--he
does not hesitate to sink himself in
the character, as is evidenced in the
b1ase, unclious lord ssraleigh"; the
grief torn outcast, in where Is NY
Wandering Boy Tonight" and the self
branded criminal in "1he Man Who
Disappeared" series.
How perfectly he "gets over" the
subtlest emotions is admirably por-
trayed in "The Man Who Could Not
Sleep" where he is so obsessed with
fear Of curse placed upon him as to

Producers Now Demand That
Characters Step from Real
Lite into Screen.

Wigmakers reaped harvest when
the movies first became Il popular form
Of entertainment, and they believed
chat this new amusement augured
continued prosperity.
This prediction was warranted per-
haps when moving pictures were first
introduced. In the early days the
slapstick comedy which introduced
hideous and impossible characters met
with popular approval. 1t was in
such productions that the man with
the funny hair and the impossible
whiskers cornered all the laughs.
There was no opportunity for the
people to see anything more elevat-
ing.
But with strides which we're swift
and sure tho moving picture show
developed. The producers found that.
the public wanted reality more than
burlesque. Then came the photoplay
with Its consistent story and real flesh
and blood characters. The public
showed Its appreciation by sincere
attention and support. Even the
slightest touch Of the Unnatural in
theseI true-to-life stories proved to
be a jarring note. This brought the
demand for types. %H
conscientious producers onw de-
rnand that the characters step from
real life into the screen Without arti-
fetal adornment. This demand for
character accuracy is well illustrated
in "The Gods Of Fate tho new Ave
reel production OF the Lubih Manufac-
turing Company. Every member of
the cast is naturally fitted for his re-
spective., role. This adds greatly to
the realism throughout this gripping

"FAVORITE SONS"
MAY BLOCK 7. R.
Men Who Will Run Conven-
ton Say Stampede Would
Benefit Hughes.
WOULD ELIMINATE HIM
Root. Sherman. Fairbanks. and Bur-
ton May Control 490 Delegates.
or Almost Half the Membership.

Figures prepared here by Republican
leaders identified with the group of Pres
idential candidates known as the IA
vorite sons" indicate that Theodore
Roosevelt stands little or no chance of
landing the nomination at the convention
to be held in Chicago in June. Impelled
by desire to nominate one OF their own
number. the favorite sons started out
some weeks ago to stop Mr.. Roose-
welt, and they claim that they have ac-
complished their purpose.
1t was said yesterday that Mr. Roose-
welt will not have to exceed IS votes, and
under these circumstances, It is pointed
out, he cannot be named unless there Is
a stampede. The men who expect to run
the Chicago convention insist that II
there is a stampede. Associate Justice
Hughes and not Mr.. Roosevelt will be the
beneficiary.
According to the statement inspired by
one of the managers of a favorite-son
candidate OF the Middle West, Elihu Root.
of New York, will have 12O delegates
pledged to his support, all of whom will
stand pat in their allegiance as long as
there may be a chance to make him the
nominee. From this same source the
statement is made that the other candi-
dates will go into the convention with
IuSieSdteS u Inc hummer as lnQtcateQ as
follows:
Sherman, 30; Roosevelt. IS; Burton, 40;
Fairbanks, 40: Cummins, IS; Hughes, 30:
La Toilette, IS; Weeks, 12o; Ford, 30;
Knox. 65, and du Pont, s.
The managers of the favorite-sons' cant
didates make no bones of the fact that at
present they are engaged in an endeayor
to eliminate Justice Hughes as a factor
in the Chicago convention. They are
hopeful of attaining this end, but openly
concede that Jutice Hughes is running
fast with possibility that he may be
named by acclamation on one of the early
ballots.
There will be eS5 delegates In the Chi
cago convention A bare majority of
the convention is 4s3. II the figures
given above are correct, Sherman. Fair
banks, Burton and Root control $50. This
is almost enough to control the conven-
ton.
A good deal OF, missionary work Is now
being done in behalf of Senator sher-
man, OF Illinois, who has headquarters
In operation in Washington as well as In
Chicago. The physical Sherman demon
stration in Chicago during convention
week bids fair to be about the biggest
thing OF its kind in town. The Sherman
managers have arranged to have about
D,0Oo Sherman boomers in Chicago. and
through parades and other forms of
demonstration impress the visitors from
abroad with their earnestness of their
orfte son.
