LECTURE ON ALASKA.

To travel 1000 miles through the
most picturesque scenery in America
is the experience offered by a view
ing OF DR.. Leonard S. Sugden's mo-
tion picture, "The Lure OF Alaska" }"
which will be seen at the Belasco
Theater this afternoon and tonight.
The pictures, taken by DIR. Sugden,
himself, cover the route from Seattle
to the farthest point invaded by man,
north of the arctic circle, while the
lecture embraces a msrvelously inter
esting account OF personal expert
ences during the rush of 1879, to-
gether with an Illuminating story of
the growth of the camps and cities
OF that little known country.
DIR. Sugden has spent seventeen
years in the interior of Alaska where
he was for some time surgeon OF the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police.
During the early rush days he was
official pilst over the. dangerous
White Horse Rapids. He has explored,
prospected, and hunted big game.

tion, laid in two acts and six scenes.

GUS situations come as a result .

Rnsen, Billy Waldron, Harry Hills,
Martha Edmond, and Earle Sheahan,
together with a carefully selected
beauty chorus of twenty girls.

SIDELIGHTS ON
LIFE ON THE STAGE
Anecdotes, History, and a Lit
tie Fiction Told of and
by Actors.

1t took Charlotte Greenwood six
years to learn that she was funny.
1t took her another year to reconcile
herself to the idea. To see her now In
$50 Long, Lefty" which plays at the
Belasco Theater next week, anyone
would think she has been funny since
she left the cradle. Nothing could be
further from. the truth. She had no
more idea that she could make people
laugh than has William Jennings
Bryan. But she has found 1t out.
There was one great obstacle
which Miss Greenwood had to sur
mount before she attained her pres
ent personality. She had to eliminate
her vanity. Experience did tex
perience gained on many a stage and
before all kinds OF audiences.
"The reason so few women are
funny is because they absolutely re-
fuse to be or look ridiculous" says
Miss Greenwood. "For six long years
1 lodged the issue, refused to regard
II as an issue, and kidded myself into
the belief that / was going to be a
great dramatic star OF play prima
donna roles.
But nature has to be served, and
nature never intended this fair Char
Iotte for anything but comedy. A
lot of my friends tried to talk me out
of my foreordained career, and now
they are the very ones who say, 4
told you so.' She should have gone
In for comedy from the start
"Six long years of my fair young
life were spent in the chorus, and i
was no pony. either"

GRIFFITH SIGNS

Producer of "Birth of a Nation"
to Distribute Through
That Company.

d. w. Griffith, creator Of the
screens great spectacular triumphs,
"The Birth Of Nation" and ''Intoler-
ahce," has entered into an arrange
ment with the Artcraft Pictures Cor
poration by which all his future pro-
ductions will be distributed
Mr.. Griffith intends to produce q
number OF important cinema attrac-
tions OF the impressive and colossal
type, which has made his fame, to be
released through Aircraft, the distri-
buffers of Mary Pickford. Douglas
Fairbanks, and George NJ Cohan
photoplays.
This is the first time in three years
that Mr.. Griffith has made an ar
rangement to produce big photoplays
with frequency and regularity for
general release. During that time he
has devoted his activities to the pre-
sentation Of one or two super-produc-
tions exclusively.
The policy of presenting several
Griffith productions a year undoubt-
edly will please the photoplay public,
which has indicated it's desire for
more Griffith subjects.
By this latest arrangement, Art
craft restores Griffith to motion pic
ture theaters which have been denied
his creations during the last few
years.

Bobby Connolly Tries
To BE a Lightning Bug.

Bobby Connolly, child star of the
Vitagraph screen forces, is all boy.
He has the masculine infants habit
of monkeying with the weird. Tom
Sawyer never had anything on Bobby,
who DUST loves to prowl about in the
prop" rdom at the Vitagraph studios
in Brooklyn.
An elaborate scene in "The More
Excellent Way" in which Anita Stew
art and Charles Richman are CO.
starred, needed an Egyptian tomb set
ting, filled with mummies, sarcophagi,
and all the ancient properties OF the
Rameses IL period. Bobby wasn't In
the play at all, but watched 1t as a
bystander.
Especially interested was he in the
effect of lights blazing through the
glass top or a near-marble sarcopha-
gus, in which an Egyptian princess
was disposed. She looked like a liv-
ing x-ray.
After II was all over, Bobby lost no
time in pumping himself down on
top of the illuminated case. He lay
there, gravely and at ease.
I'm a lightning bug" he announced
to all passers-by.
Five minutes later. however, the
lights under him had made 1t too
warm a spot for comfort and Bobby
Ieaped OF his griddle, declaring that
he felt more like a fried egg than a
lightning bug, and would somebody
please pour ice water or ice cream
or something down his trousers.

Loew's CoIumbiaI Films.
ssThe Bottle Imp

ssThe Bottle Imp"
Beginning today and continuing un-
til Thursday Loew's Columbia an
nounces as the feature photoplay The
Bottle Imp" with the noted Japanese
actor Sessue Hayakawa as the star.
1t is a perturbation OF Robert Louis
Stevenson's very unusual story.
As most of the scenes were filmed
in Hawaii, IT will not only be interest
ing from a dramatic standpoint, but
from a scenic aspect as well.
Lopaka, a poor Hawaiian fisherman,
falls in love with Kokua, a young girl
of royal blood. Her father refuses
her hand until Lopaka can bring him
two feather cloaks-an impossible
stipulation, as no one not of royal
blood can touch a cloak under penalty
Of death. While in the mountains
looking for the bird from which he
would get the necessary feathers to
make the cloak, Lopaka meets a dying
priest, who gives him a magic bottle
which will grant any wish of the
owner, but anyone dying with the bot
tie in his possession will go to Hades.
His adventures with the magic bot
tie forms a thrilling story, in the
course of which he marries Kokua-
Beginning Thursday and for the last
three days of the week House Peters,
supported by Myrtle Steadman, will
be the pictured star in "As Men Love"
This story, as may be CLEANED from
the title, has to do with the friendship
of two men, which is torn asunder by
a fickle woman. How the clouds of
doubt and distrust are finally dis
PEELED must be seen to be enjoyed.

such as bears, deer, goats, buffaloes
