TIRE evening entertainment.
There is a certain timeliness
about the story of Joan of Arc. az
II has been reported frequently from
France that public interest i'm the
Maid of Orleans never was so keen
as at the present moment. Although
the story of Joan the Woman
written for the screen by Jeanie
Macpherson, has been carefully
guarded, ii is said that Mr.. De-
Mile and Miss Farrar have touch
ed upon this feature of modernism
in relating one OF the most fascln-
ating stories of mediaevaIism.
All the scenes of the picture were
made last summer in California,
Miss Fafrar having spent more than
four months in the motion picture
colony. As to the historical accuracy
of costumes, armor, heraIdry, build
ings and the personnel, that portion
of the production was in the hands
OF Wilfred auckland, formerly of
the artistic staff Of David Belasco.
MIR. auckland and Mr.. DeMilIe for
two years have worked side by side
in the Lasky studios and the as
sembling of material for Joan the
Woman" consumed many months
of that time.
Nigel Barrie. leading man for
Marguerite Clark in the Paramount
production of Mary Roberts Rine-
hart's Bah, the Sub-Deb" stories,
has tried hard to enlist in two diff
ferent armies. Mr.. Barrie came to
this country four years ago and
later took out his first papers. When
America entered the war Mr.. Barrie
tried to enlist but was informed that
as he only had his first papers, he
was not eligible.
His next attempt was in Canada
where he tried for enlistment in the
Royal Flying squadron. His ap-
plication hung fire for weeks and
weeks and in the meantime he was
signed up by Paramount to do the
Mary Roberts Rinehart stories with
Marguerite Clark.
Immediately thereafter. he was
Informed that his application would
he favorably acted upon. When he
Journeyed again to Canada and told
Of his contract for the pictures, he
was given leave of absence to ex-
tend over the time necessary for the
taking OF the pictures. This is
probably the first recorded action of
war department accepting picture
work as an exemption claim, even
though 1t is but temporary.
Mr.. Barrie was granted his leave
OF absence because he is the sole
support of widowed mother. Fol-
lowing his screen work he will go to
Canada, join the Flying corps, and
be off to the fields of France.
Besides Mr.. Barrie, Marguerite
Clark is supported by an exception
ally fine cast in "Bab's Diary"
which is the first of the "Sub-Deb"
stories. Frank Losee. Leonora
Morgan, Helen Greene, Richard
Barthelmess and other well known
players figure on the list.

ton next Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday.
