When Chas. Kenyon wrote Paint
ed Lips" the Louise Lovely pro-
duction which comes to the Liberty
today and Saturday the Western
p(hotoplay colony was combed for
just the proper man to take the
role Of Jim Douglass. Edward Le-
Saint, who produced it, as so many
directors have, had a certain face
in mind for the role. 1t belonged to
an actor that ne had seen on the
stage, and he wired east to a we'll
known theatrical agency to find out
where Lewis J. Cody was. The an
swer came back that ne was work
ing in Los Angeles in the films.
Strange as it may seem, under the
name of Lew Cody he had been
worGng not five miles away from
lie Saint for the last year.
The producer lost no time in en-
EaginE Cody for this special en-
gagement, making it necessary for
Cody to get a leave Of absence from
his other engagement.
So we'll did Mr.. Cody acquit him
self in Painted Lips" and such a
deep impression did he make on all
OF the film critics who saw it, that
Robert Leonard engaged him on
the spot for a production which was
not to be started for five months,
when Cody would be free. He will
be seen in support Of Miss Mae
Murray.
Real Indians and likewise papooses
are fast becoming scarce in this
country, which not so many years
ago was their hunting grounds and
where they traded furs for q few
beads, some bright calico or rum.
However, Director Frank Borzage
has several of the genuine article in
his latest Triangle picture, Until
They Get Me-" a gripping drama Of
life where a man must be fast with
his trigger finger to survive. AS a
result, Borzage had to revert to the
ancient and time-honored custom
of using sign language, for one Of
the squaws had great difficulty I'M
English, as spoken by
the director. This picture viii bel
shown at the Princess theater to-
day and Saturday.
At a private showing of Camille
the William Fox film version Of the
Tlheda BaTa superpicture, showing
at the Strand today and Saturday,
q reviewer Of national repute wrote
his private opinion of the picturiza-
ton of the famous Lady of the
for Mr.. Fox. The letter
was entirely independent Of the
most favorable review OF the CEN
sors. and IS herewith appended:
Mr.. Fox's film version OF Camille
Is a most interesting arrangement OF
the events in the famous character
life. The great gripping interest de-
velops in the fourth reel, when II
grows intense, reaching its climax
At the end of the fifth, The sixth is
where Miss BaFa really shows the
artistic emotional talent for when
she In famous. Love, the renuncia-
don, depicting the more noble nature
of Camille, are the features that go |
10 make it a great picture.
Sail the bounding main with
Madame Sonia Marhova- sit in a
speedy motor boat, a rubber coat

Il the big features in the new Will
lam Fox photopiay "A Heart |
Revenge" in which Nine. Markoya
8 starred and which will be shown

lay.

,ig climax. 1t Is full Of action
ull OF the spirit that makes trouble
ome days brighter.
