SALISBURY GIVES CLEVER
IMPERS0NATI0N OF SATAN
Features In Extraordinary Camera
Production "IY,c Devils
Assistant"

Monroe Salisbury gives most
clever impersonation of the devil in
human form in "The Devils Assist
ant" Salisbury is cast as Doctor
Lorenz. In some instances the al
legorical effect is carried out by horns
and the cloven hoofs suddenly ap-
pearing to attach themselves to the
doctors figure.
One especially fascinating scene is
that in which. while ioiing with q
bottle of the drug, Doctor Lorenz sees
himself as the devil slowly rising from
the bottle. poising for a moment upon
the rim and then spring nightly down
on the desk where he summons Miss
Fischer. After tormenting her he sum-
mons his tiny imps who do fiendish
dance around the bottle and the hap
less woman. These dininutive crea>
lures are less than two incnes In
height and do their weird dance on n
board one foot square.
Most extraordinary camera work
appears thruout the production.

slim.

The photography OF 1.-THE Immi-
grant" Charlie Chaplins latest pic
ture, is superb, every angle of the
amusing story being brought out with
remarkable clearness and perfection
of detail. The scene on shipboard is
Of unusual interest, the deck crowded
with immigrants and the general ma
rine atmosphere being something
brand-new in the way of Chaplin Of
ferings.
Mr. Chaplin had a hard time ar
ranging for the filming of the ship
scene because IL involved keeping a
big steamship laying off and on" as
her captain called it, for nearly two
hours.
The selection of the widely varied
types employed n the immigrant mob
aboard the boat cost Mr.. Chaplin
many anxious moments. Every one
of the men and women appearing in
this scene was chosen by the star
from scores of applicants. The I'M
migrant" should be one of Mr.. Chap
Inns most popular creations. Ii is the
result of many weeks of hard think
ing and planning and the best thing
that can he said in favor of the play
Is that Chaplin himself is satisfied
with it, which Is prima facie evidence
that II is at least technically perfect.
Approval of the story by the public
is all that remains and there seems
, small doubt that The Immigrant"

William Gillette Relates First
Impression in Playing
for Pictures.

Tall and slender, almost gaunt II
seems, with his six feet four, calm and
constantly AT ease. II is easy to see
why William Gillette has made such
success with Sherlock Holmes" ."
His sharp, chiseled features, his
aquiline nose, photograph accurately,
while his large mobile mouth and
heavy eyebrows convey expression
with extra ordinary accuracy. His L
act film version of his stage play has
Just been released by Essanay. This
was his first appearance in pictures.
Even from the first Mr.. Gillette was
not camera shy" His unusual poise
relieves him from the usual difficulty
TO forget the camera which besets
almost every actor in their first ap>
pearance under the calcium lights.
Moreover Mr.. Gillettes ease and de-
libertnoss of manner save him from
overacting, which probably is tho
greatest fault of the stage recruit. who
waves his arms wildly and makes
faces in tryinE to make up for the
loss OF words to convey expression.
The usual struggle of the director
with a stage player who has depended
on words is to make them act natural
Mr.. Gillette was as natural as tho he
were actually in his private study
working out some difficult criminar
problem
True, in the dramtic situations. in
his hand-to-hand battle with the EN-.
peror of crooks, there is tensenes.
of action that grips the onlooker, but
under II all is the perpetual calm re.
serve and clear mental cognizance OF
the situation, so characteristic OF
Sherlock Holmes as painted 10y A.
Conan Doyle, and made into a stage
character by Mr.. Gillette.
In speaking of his experience Mr..
Gillette sad
ut is natural for an actor to assume
that playing for pictures requires that
something more than stage portrayals
must be supplied to offset the loss OF
the voice. But | am convinced that
this is not so and that enacting Sher-
lock Holmes In the same manner as
| would on the stage was entirely
sufficient Every act and expression
is recorded so sharply in pictures that,
| assume. the spectator can carry the
thread Of the plot without missing tho
slightest detail.
ION the stage words forestall the
chance that the audience may neglect
an important point. In pictures tho
actor is brought closer. and the minor
moves and expressions are fully ap-
parent to the spectators"

FOOD SURVEY BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Lever Measure Adopted Without Roll
Call-Allows Houston $I4,522,000.

The House late yesterday completed the
Lever bill for a food survey and passed
It without a roll call. The sentiment OF
the body was obvious before this, for on
a motion made by Haugen, OF Iowa, to
recommit the bill, the vote was 20 to 81.
As passed, the bill allows the Secretary
of Agriculture to spend S14.522,oo0 for
a food survey and stimulation Of pro-
duction. The Senate has yet to pass the
measure.
The total appropriation asked by the
Department of Agriculture is made up
of many items. One of them. as passed
In the House bill, is $S.77S.OOo for con-
serving next years seed supplies. The
department is authorized to purchase seed
II necessary and sell or distribute as cir
cumstances demand.
Other big items provide for fighting
plant and animal diseases and for the
increased activities of the various
bureaus, so that the actual $500 700 need
ed for the food survey is covered up,
although the bill has come to be known
as the food survey measure.
The Senate late yesterday cut down
an appropriation of IS, 500, ,00O in the Gore
Lever food survey bill, for the eradication
OF diseases and pests of cattle, to SS25. 900.
The vote on the motion was 35 to a. Fur
ther efforts will be made to cut down
other appropriations in the bill before II
comes UP for a fnal vote, probably today.
