EWS OF MEN AND WOMEN IN MOTION PICTURE WORLD
AIRCRAFT NEWS

Though there have been occasional
claims by critics that some Of the
incidents in William S. Hart produc-
tons. released by Aircraft, border
upon the melodramatiC to an extent
that would make them seem impos-
sible of occurrence in real life, Thorn
as II. Ince, the well-known producer
Of Paramount and Aircraft films as
serts that his famous Western star
has never appeared in a scene Or cpl
sode that was oVerdrawn. Without
quoting the time-honored aphorism,
truth is stranger than felton," Mr..
Ince insists that in real life among
the people Of the western country,
things have happened and are hap
pening today, which defy the imag-
ination to outdistance in strangeness
or dramatic qualities.
Following the tremendous success
scored by Elsie Ferguson in her Cur
rent Aircraft release, THE Song Of
Songs" taken from Edward Sheldon's
famous play, it is announced that her
next screen vehicle is another adapta-
ton from a stage piece. The Lie
an adaptation by Charles Maigne OF
Henry Arthur Jones play. which Gre,
ated a sensation when presented on
the speaking stage as a starring We
hicle for Margaret Ellington, at the
Harris theater, New York, is now
rapidly nearing completion at the
Famous Players-Lasl>y studio in New
York.
Following on the heels of the sue
cessful wild-west Rodeo which Doug
las Fairbanks staged in Los Angeles
with a profit of $4,000 to the Red
Cross fund, the Aircraft star has re-
peated the show in San Francisco for
the benefit of the War Camp Recrea-
ton fund.
An announcement from the F>a-
NOUS Players-Lasky Corporation, Is
sued last week, establishes the re-
lease date OF Maeterlinck's THE
Blue Bird which has been produced
on the screen for Aircraft, under the
direction of Maurice Tourneur. Aft
err a private showing to the execu-
tives of tho company, it was decided
that this film, which is said to present
a most elaborate version of Maeter-
linck's play, will be offered as
Special Easter Release under the
Aircraft trademark, making a pat~
ticularly appropriate cinema for this
time of the year.

CAVALIERI IN SARDOU PLAY

Lima Cavalieri has begun the pro-

This is one Of our greatest under
takings to produce this play" says
Jesse L. Lasky, vice-presdent and
head of productions Of the Famous
Players-Lasky corporation, "for it. is
necessary to actually depict the stir

PUT OLD ENEMY
TO UTTER ROUT
Tells how to lift off that touchy
corn without hurting
one particle

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which L. needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter-ounce of a drua
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store, but Is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
this freezone on a tender, aching corn
and the soreness is instantly relieved
Shortly the entire corn can be lifted
out, root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky. but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without infian,ing or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin
IF your wife wears high heels, she
will be glad to know of this.

appear in q screen version of the
popular novel, Cecilia Of the Pink
Roses" has donated her mite to the
cause of democracy by subscribing to
six thousand dollars worth OF Lib
erty Bonds, through the Allied The

And this is only a, part Of the bit
she has set herself to "do" for her
country. In her own inimita BILE way
she is one Of the most enthusiastic
workers for the Third Liberty Loan.
This dainty little star is not travers-

to subscribe their share, and impress
sing upon them the Importance OF
everybody helping, no matter how
small or how large the amount. And
being a very popular young lady,
with myriad friends and aquaint-

not appearing on the surface, is un-
qIestionably much.

greet being a girl" said Miss Davies,

forms, ready and eager to make the

If necessary for the good of the
cause, the realization comes to me
what a very little we are able to do,
