and IL is so difficult, too, TO find
leading man who can lead. Most OF
Them look like butchers or ribbon

that they are attractive they want TO
be starred themselves. OF course
don't blame them. but il is terrible,

spoon" Miss Talmadge sighed deeply
and musingly. and one could see that
il wasn't bit funny from her point OF
view. 1t was a real tragedy.

Douglas. but cannot stand the strain.
A hundred times during the filming OF

an express train until it wasn't ten
feet from him and then he jumped.

Have you seen my sign?' said Miss
Talmadge. changing the subject with

We regarded Miss Talmadge almost
sadly, thinking how young and enthu-
siastic she was and dreadirg for her
the time when she should be disillu-
stoned For such is the perversity OF
fate that she will probably fall in love
with a man who has q beard and sings
tenor and wears tan shoes and, per

spinach or carries an umbrella.

CAMP UPTON, y. Y, Oct. ask

gunner. National Army. "Wss 1t a
swell day of had? Just ask me-"
It must be admitted that our free
American habits of speech are passing
strange.
Here, nov, was Gunner Casey daring
the press to put a question that had
already been put. excited, belligerent,
seeming quite eager TO peel off his
brand new olive drab blouse and risk
the breeches in an implied impending
combat
And the threat was no threat at all
merely the prelude TO a story OF per-
feet day.
Commonplace enough the story was.
But if you read for Thomas Casey's

perhaps find it fair composite OF the

titles for this picture, which will be
the first Of n series Of eight. The
picture will be released on the 22d, but
by that time Nine. Petrova will be
well on the way with her next pict-
ure. In addition 70 her work in the
studio, Nine. Petrova is planning to
make a brief appearance on the legiti-
mate stage. She probably will pre-
sent some of the big moments from
big plays and impersonations and i'm.
provisations.
Charlie Chaplin's new comedy, "The
Adventurer." in the production Of
which the comedian has spent more
time and money than on any previous
play, will positively be released on Oc-
toDer %.
Metro announces that Harold Lock
wood is making a new picture called
love Ne for Myself Alone adding:
"The part is particularly well suited TO
Mr.. Lockwood" Yes, indeed. One can
readily understand that.
Harry Houdini, the famous camou-
hage artist, is announced as the star of
a forthcoming motion picture produc-
ton done by the Williamson Brothers.
The story for the photoplay was writ
ten by Arthur Somers Roche. The
Williamsons' new production will, 81
course, be a sub-aquatic drama, and
will mark Houdini's debut before the
camera.
"The Beautiful Adventure will be
produced by the Empire All Star Com
pany, with Ann Murdoch in the title
role, so says the press sheet. May a
young woman be described as an ad-
venture?

and Cleopatra as portrayed by Shake
speare and Sardou. Miss Bara will be
the Egyptian Queen. The story de-
picted takes place in Rome and Alex
andria and covers the period from
Cleopatra's meeting with Caesar TO her
death in Alexandra. The picture is
produced with the usual Fox magnifi-
cenoe.
The pretentious playhouse at the
corner Of Broadway and Forty-ninth
Street has been named the Rivoli. The
popularity of the three RS Is as moth
ing compared with the popularity of
the Rothapfel RS. Mr.. Rothapfel did
not wish to break the chain, and now
the Rivoli will make the fifth r. The
first was the Regent, then the Rialto.
Mr.. Rothapfel and MIR. Riesenfeld
furnished two more. The theatre is
named for the Rue de Rivoli, in Paris.
Iliodor. the mad monk, is forced these
days to travel with an armed guard,
on account Of recent attempts on his
life, according 20 his managers. 1t
may easily be understood that some
of the revelations in "The Fall of
the Romanoffs" would be extremely
distssteful to certain persons. or
course, he was threatened numerous
times when he first came to America,
but since the assassination of Raspu-
tin and the Russian Revolution he has
been able TO live in comparative
safety until the last few weeks. Now
it seems that his life is again being
sought by certain officials whom he
denounced and who have undoubtedly
sent their agents to America to hound
him
Iliodor himself says that a member
Of the Russian Secret Police came 20
him and told him of an agent who
had called upon him and offered him
$4,000 to make away with the monk.
Later on the offer was doubled, but
