PRINCESS WILL PLAY
SPLENDID FEATURES

The Princess theatre since its
change in managemen4 has enjoyed a
steady and growing patronage due to
the excellent class of pictures that
have been shown and because Of new
features Of accommodation.
The bill for Monday and Tuesday
has as a leader a film that tells a story
OF an enduring and worthy young wife
married to one of New Yorks worth
less idle rich. The developments from
these threads make up a story that
holds the attention throughout. In ad-.
dition the program includes a Cub
comedy and Hearst's Pathe' weekly
which includes many interesting
scenes of the military activity in the
east as well as other timely happen
ings.

bish girl in America" stars in Hap
piness," Triangle play written by C.

the Dark" It.gives her better chance
to exert her personality and hence
should prove the most popular OF the
three characterizations which she has
made for the screen.
A splendid Ince cast supports her.

EVER POPULAR DOROTHY
PHILLIPS With Us AGAIN
At ths Lyesum Sunday in Henrik Ib-
osn'ss a Dolls House, In Most
Exaetine and Emotional Role.

Dorothy Phillips. who has grown so
rapidly in favor with devotees of the
screen, appears at the Lyceum theatre,
on Sunday, as Nora Helmer in Henrik
1bsen's "A Dolls House." This is by
far the most exacting and intensely
emotional role Miss Phillips has ever
essayed, either on stage or screen.
Mrs. Fiske. Nazimova, Eleanor Duse
and many other famous stars have
added to the luster Of their reputation
by portraying the Ibsen heroine, but
Bluebird Photoplays, Inc, now pre-
sent the work for the first time i'm
moving pictures. VIM. StoweIl, as
Torvald Helmer, Nora's husband. and
Lon CLANCY, as the villain of the plot,
will be chief interpreters OF the sup
porting roles. Helen Wright, Mir
lam Shelby and Sidney Dean will also
play important roles.
Presentations of "A Dolls House"
prove unquestionably Bluebird's de-
termination to give to the screen the
best works Of famous authors, done
in the best fashion and acted by the
most skilful players obtainable. Again
is truth set behind the assertion. IF
it's a Bluebird. it's got to be good"

In AGAIN---OUT AGAIN.,
new AIRCRAFT PICTURE
Douglas Fairbanks and His Popular
Grin in Film Masterpiece at the
Garriek Next Week,

Thirty-four years ago a child with a
cunning little grin was born in Dem
yer, Colo, and today that grin is known
in every nook OF the United States.
This same child is now heading the
Douglas Fairbanks Film company, en-
gagged in producing sunshine plays for
Artcraft's Pictures, the first of which
In Again-Out Again." will appear at
the Garrick theater on Monday Tues
day and Wednesday.
Americas Mr.. Fairbanks has the best
advertised smile in the world and even
the crusty. cold hearted rent collector
feels bit charitable when he sees
that grin flashed on the screen. On the
legitimate stage Doug became widely
popular, but it took the unlimited scope
OF the motion picture to give this
athletic screen star enough room to ex-
ercise his talent, for when Fairbanks
works he must needs have plenty of
space, which will readily be appre-
ctated by all those who have viewed
his activities on the screen.

who hovers at deaths door through
three or four reels, though he always

leading, producing concerns. The mem
bers OF this department confine their
activities exclusively to preparing stor-
les or adaptations Of plays and novels
for final production upon the screen.
Theirs is the technical end of the busi-
ness, inasmuch as the product Of their
efforts is given to the director with in
structions that he is to follow their
scenarios in detail. making practically
no eliminations or alterations.
At the Lasky studio in Hollywood a
new method Of production is to be
tried. The continuity department as
such will be abolished and two contin-
uity writer's, or scenario writer's, will
be assigned to each one of the direc-
tors. Instead of having one member of
the scenario department prepare a
complete script, the new Lasky plan
is to have the director and two con-
tinuity writer's ~collaborate upon the
preparation of the script. The theory
behind this innovation is combina-
ton of the old adage that two heads
are better than one, and a desire to
incorporate the editorial point Of view
as well as the technical considerations
into the finished script.

Circus CloUns Are By No Means
The Fools They Appear to Be

III
Seldom Is a circus clown the fool he
represents himself to be. He poses in
an apparently idiotic role for the same
reason that some other presumably
wise individual occupies a professors s
chair in some college or university.
Both men appreciate their salaries.
However, Dan Darrow. one Of the
so sawdust comedians with the Bar
mum & Bailey circus, coming to Fargo
on Thursday, July 12,a is sufficiently
educated to hold down the job of col
lege professor of languages If he were
SO inclined. In the game of philology
he has scored seventeen times. and be-
cause OF that fact is qualified to hold
the position of interpreter for the var
ious races represented in the cosmo-
politan circus city.
Because of his ability to speak so
many tongues, Darrow officiates as
postmaster for the 1,400 circus people.
OF course, congress has never offic-
tally confirmed his appointment, but
he has a most important position new
ertheless. Every morning during the
circus season, wherever the big show
happens to be exhibiting, Darrow
makes his rounds Of the postoffice
and express offices, collects all mail
and packages consigned to any one
connected with the circus, and then re-
turns to the show grounds. Here he
is greeted by a polygiot assemblage in
which are spoken all Languages from
Portuguese to Hindoostani The cir
Gus mail averages more than 1000
letters daily, coming from the four
quarters of the globe and addressed
in many languages.
The Barnum & Bailey >circus boasts
Of having more world famous clowns
on its program than any other show
in America. More than 20 of the jest
ers are over so years old and have
been clowns practically all their lives.
Many of them were colleagues Of the
late Dan Rice and other famous saw
dust entertainers Of the last century.
Most OF the old timers have clowned
in every civilized land and some of
them have entertained the crowned
heads Of Europe.
A clown must be a successful judge
Of human nature and he must never |
let pessimism control his feelings. He |
must be original and versatile. The |
clown knows by long expe- |
rience that the funny bones Of circus |
crowds vary in different cities, and, in /
order to make good, the chalk-faced
lester must understand many methods
