 Mr Beach was attracted to this new field, he says, because of the peculiar adapta bility of his own stirring, swift moving stories to the film, and his strong desire to see thom produced ap- propriately and accurately.

. Did you ever think you would live
to bsee a spectacle in a theatre in
which over 125000 people took part
along with 1000 horses and 1900
hariots?
Well this is what is revealed in
d. w. Grif1ths colossal work, In
tolerance" which comes 10 the Or
pheum for three days, starting Sept
The mighty work is not only big
in numbers and in scenes, but it is
as big in theme. 1t portrays the
hopes and struggles OF love through
all ages and how the human asptra-
tion has always been hampered by
the intolerance of those who put
themselves in high places. In Crit
fith's great epic you find this whip of
intolerance cracking over the heads
of the ancient Babylonians nearly
5000 years ago and you follow it
down through Palestine when the
Man of Men came with his great
tolerance and message of hope and
again you see it in religious warfare
as it was carried on in medieval
France in the sixteenth century and
now you see ii again in factory and
shop and the streets of this land.
And though the scenes change and
the magnitude of the shifting views
appall you there is ever that great
note of human appeal calling to you
from across the Ages. 1t is as If you
had taken a trip around the world
and covered a period of 5000 years
in the pickering speed of contem-
plative thought. Mr.. Griffith has
made a daring innovation and has
succeeded. This is why "Intoler-
ance" is the sensation that it is
everywhere.

FAMOUS ARTIST
DIES IN POVERTY

London.-(Co Correspondence of The
Associated Press).-A genius who
| might have amassed a fortune died
; in comparative poverty and OBJ
security in London because he was
too proud to give the world work
| which did not attain tc his ideals.
Few people, even among those in the
art world, remembered that Matthew
| Maris, the once famous Dutch paint
err, was still living, and fewer knew
that London was his home, until the
announcement of his death at the
age of rs appeared in a morning
paper.
Matthew, the last Of the family Of
three gifted brothers, was one Of the
geniuses who approach to madness.
His smallest picture was worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the auction
rooms, but one rarely saw the light.
He painted only when he felt moved
to paint, and he felt moved very sell
dom. OF late years he absolutely re-
fused to sell his work. Some Of those
who knew him say that he was a
great idealist, but others with a
more commonplace point of view
declare that he was merely lazy!
Maris lived almost the life Of
hermit, and was supported by the
generosity of a few friends. His
studio was barred to everybody,
sealed against the world as relig-
iously as the hall of a Yale senior
society. What the old painter did
there no one knows, but it is be-
Iieved that he painted pictures-the
least of which the greatest galleries
of the world would covet-and then
burned them because they did not
realize his visions.
Art dealers who approached him
with checks and fiatteTy were driven
away He told them his pictures
were not worth selling, and he did
not propose to impose on the public,
which followed the fashion like
sheep, and would buy anything with
q name. For the same reason he
would not sign a picture, holding
that every work of art should stand
on it's own merits regardless of the
authors name. 4.

BILLY BURKE COMES TO .
THE GARRICK NEXT WEEK

Delightful, piquant Billie Burke, in
her latest Paramount picture, The
MYSTERIOUS Hiss Terry, at the Gar
rick Monday and Tuesday, is as
wffimscialy charming as ever and
from the very first scene that flashes
across the screen the picture holds
che breathless attention and interest
of the spectator.
The Mysterious Miss Terry is an
adaptation of a story by Gelett Bur
CESS, the we'll known author and
humorist, and marks his entrance
into the field of photoplay writing.
His remarkable literary success in
the past points to a brilliant future
in this line which is more than
justified by his opening prOduc-
tion.
Billie Burke, as Mavis Terry,
cleverly demonstrates a novel method
of finding both happiness - and a
husband. The latter she does by "A
process of elimination-that is she
goes inCOgnito to a nearby boarding
house where she takes up the life of
an ordinary working girl although
she is in reality an heiress. Her"
she meets three young men who
promptly fall in love with her.

perior to the types of idle young
men she has known in her former
sphere. Finding out the secret
ambitions of each she is able to
crafty them and thus discover
which is really worth while and in
earnest.
In accomplishing this purpose, the
determined young heroine involves
herself in many thrilling and humor-
GUS situations such as a narrow es-
cape from being arrested for rObbing
her own house. and later for giving
away some of her own gorgeous
gowns
