MISS PEARSON'S NEW
FILM SUITS HER PERFECTLY

a Tortured Heart" William Fox
PhotOdrama. Story OF South for
southern Beauty-Troupe Goes To
GeOrgia-SOmc of Actors DO Not
Like Dixie and Mourn for French
Bread and Morning Tubs.
In the southern story told in pic,
ture form in William Foxs "A Tor
bled Heart" Virginia Pearson, that
southern beauty Of FINLAND, has just
the role which befits her beauty and
dramatic acting. For the tale un-
folded in "A Tortured Heart is fill
ed with all the wholesomeness of the
southland and the beauty of Dixie
all of which is mpersonated in Mis-
Pearson whom a noted artist has
termed the most perfect American
type of womanhood.'
When the noted stage and film act
ress arrived at savannah she was SO
happy to be back in Dixie that Di-
rector VIII S. Davis had much trou-
bic in getting her to do her work,
but once started Miss Pearson put
a soul" into her acting which Is
plainly noticeable in the film. For
Miss Pearson is a daughter of Dixie,
born and reared in the genuine old
southern fashion on her fathers
plantation near Louisville, KY.
Near savannah the exterior scenes
OF the picture play were taken in or
der to get the proper southern
scenery and atmosphere. The in
terror parts had been filmed in the
William Fox studios about New York
CITY where the best interior lighting
facilities are obtainable. Genuine
old English furniture such as was
common in southern homes fore
tn war" is seen in the indoor scenes.
The exteriors are just as genuine with
old-fashioned bower gardens and ne
groes of the "ragety' type.
At her country home near New
York, Virginia Pearson lives much
as a woman of wealth and royal blood
in none of the American simplicity
of the southern states, But when she
returned to the southland she forgot
all of her new-learned ways and ate
hot bread" as only it can be baked
in Dixie, and "sorgum' and sugar
yams just as any plantation glrl
would.
Stuart Holmes, the movie villain
who has most villainous part with
Miss Pearson in this picture, was
about the only one of the strong cast
who did not appreciate the southern
specialties of the table. He was al

oughly understood by the public" Mr..
Schiller said in speaking of the pres
ent season. lis this: The Bijou is not
exploiting stock company; the day of
stock is past and gone, practically;
what the public. demands is variety; in
the International circuit plan, a city has
only one week of the same company. 1t
is rotary affair so to speak; big
wheel with 3S spokes"
THE idea is this" he continued. "the
company which opened in Birmingham,
for instance, on September will make
the entire circuit, ending up in the
thirty-eighth city at the close of the
season; in rotation, each company plays
in this manner so that each city has
only one week of the same company
during the season. This idea Is brand
new; in fact the only other approaching
it, was exploited by the Columbia COM
pany in the east and that was entirely
for burlesque, SO really as far as the
legitimate drama and musical comedy
are concerned, this is absolutely the
first time it has been attempted"
Our idea is to give to the public the
fastest New York successes" Mr.. Schil-
Ter saidi 1--WE don't mean to dig up the
Anticipated plays of years ago as many
stock companies do, but to keep right
up to the minute in the matter of plays
and players. 1 believe that the pendu-
lum is again swinging around in favor
| of the legitimate drama after four or
| five years of an almost total lack of
desire on the part of the public for the
spoken drama. This revival l consider
largely due to the silent drama and its
educational methods. believe the NOV
| ing pictures have done more to educate
the masses for the legitimate drama
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-13

T is the day of modernism; indeed
1t is the late afternoon, and almost
- every avenue it would seem for the
exploitation of new things has been
traversed by those who see beyond tho
pale of the ordinary and are dabbling
their fingers in the limpid waters of
the ultra"
And yeti has remained for cote-
rie of a half dozen men to evolve a
brand new idea at popular prices"
whereby the theatres in 80 of the
largest cities of the country may enjoy
the drama, musical comedy and straight
comedy-in an entirely different man
ner from that in which such things
have ever been presented before.
Mr.. Edward A. Schiller, who is one
OF the best known and most popular
theatrical men in the country is the
connecting link between the south and
the International circuit, which has
evolved the foregoing idea and a big
spoke in the wheel he is we all ad-
nit. o.
Mr.. Schiller is an experienced theatre
cal man; manager" for many years,
and still a manager; somehow we al
ways associate him with little Emma
Bunting because he's been her manager
for so many, many years; and what he
has to say about theatrical affairs is
always to be relied upon and taken as
an ultimatum.
Mr.. Schiller, who was in Birmingham
for the premiere week at the Bijou.
had some interesting things to say
concerning the policy of the Interna-
tional circuit, and what it means to
Birmingham.
In the old days the Bijou was great
factor in the theatrical life of this city,
Elsie Janis, unknown to fame and Tor
tune, then played at this playhouse for
several months; Gertrude Hoffman and
her clever husband, Max Hoffman,
practically got their start at the Bijou;
Mary Marble and Little Chip, Marie
Fanchonetti. and a lot of other stars
twinkled for many moons at the BiJou;
so there is every reason to look upon
this playhouse as the home of some
very notable beginnings in the theatri-
cal world
So why shouldn't the Bijou again
take its place in the theatrical world
as it formerly did?
1t now has the opportunity in the
new field which the International cir
cult has blazed, being one of the six
southern cities included in the new
plans.

than anything else in the world; am
a great believer in the educational
value of the movies People love the
theatre now who never cared for it
before; it is all because they have been
educated up to it by the enormous
popularity of the moving picture in
dustrJ
"The fact that people see their favor
lite plays and books and actors on the
SCREEN" Mr.. Schiller said, creates
desire to see these in real life; they
want to hear the words spoken; they
desire the human touch, in other Words
and for this reason the Legitimate
drama is coming back into popularity
again. We have some very fine attrac-
items booked for the Bijou; Emma
Bunting will appear during the season
in a new play; Eugenia Blair will pre-
sent The Eternal Magdalene which
had such a tremendous success in New

is Eugenia Blair's daughter, will be

fully say that at popular prices no at
fractions have ever before been offered
like those which the international cir@
cult will provide this season."

lated expressly for the Corner by a
distinguished linguist. We present, in
reply to the request of our correspon-
dent formula for another poultry pie,
for which we are indebted to the same
! friendly sources. The goose is not so
popular as an article of diet in this
country as it is upon the other side
of the water. But he may be had, and
in prime condition, in all parts of the
United States. and Is highly esteemed
by excellent judges of culinary achieve
| ments. Our distinguished countryman
who selected this dish for the trans
later is a connoisseur of note in all per-
tanning to gastronomy:
Goose pie: The dish, as usual, is
covered with paste or forcemeat. To
the gravy, which is poured over the
various layers, is added some sherry,
pepper, and small part of sugar. II
some goose livers are available, one
aIternates with layers of roast and thin
slices of liver; the liver should be pre-
viously turned in flour and Drowned in
butter in frying pan, then covered
with a cup of cream. in which it is
left to boil slowly for little while.
When the dish has been filled 1t is COW
cred with cup Of cream. in which
1t is left to boil slowly for a little
while. When the dish has been filled
1t is covered with forcemeat and on
top of this is placed a layer of the
paste in which incisions have been
made by means of sharp knife. The
pie Is baked slowly for one and one
half hours. 1t may be made without
the forcemeat and without the paste
covering. In this case bake only one
hour, but before doing so a round hole
is made in the layer of forcemeat.
Through this hole is poured about half

with wine. The opening is then COW
cred with layer of forcemeat. In
the case when no paste is used the pie
may be served with glazed potatoes or
hot stewed prunes, over which one
pours some Drowned butter.v
