brightest musical comedies this
country has had for several years.
Watch Your Step" is said to be
superior to the majority of plays in
that it makes it's appeal with
syncopated melodies and dancing,
which never ceases from beginning
to end. There is just a hint Of the
story in certain of the situations and
these moments but heighten the eff
fectiveness Of the twenty odd must
cal numbers, so that the plot is al
most forgotten in the rapid success
sion Of the songs and dances.
Prominent in the carefully selected
cast will be Valli B. Martin, Helen

Eibert, Fred Hillebrand, Harry Van
Fossen, Charles Udell, Arthur Uttry,

petitors. A reputation would be ac-
quired first, he said, so strong, so
secure that New York would be ask
ed to judge for itself secondarily, il
you please. Though urged under
strongest pressure to present this
company, laurels for which were
heaping up in miraculous manner,
Mr.. Gallo's sphinx-like and unfailing
answer was-"When am ready
Mr.. Gallo was ready, after nine
years Of growing popularity, last
September, to open in New York;
and houses packed to the rafters,
enthusiasm beyond his fondest ex-
pectations, with patronage unprec-
edented, as all the music world
knows, was the gratifying result.
The season was designed to be short
two weeks-but the clamor was
so great that another week had TO
be added, at the expense of other
centers. Thousands, literally, were
turned away from every perform
ance, the engagement proving one
brilliant ovation, with money and
fame falling in a golden shower. 1t
is true, also, that the San Carlo
Opera company is the only one ex-
tant which has no deficit, but boasts
instead a handsome profit.
''Mr. Gallo has furthermore, in the
last two seasons given to the Red
Cross over $4,000, in addition to
which the company has played to
almost every camp and cantonment
located near the cities Of their book
ings. An ardent patriot himself, ne
has a brother who is a captain IN
the Italian army, now achieving
glory at the Piave.
Music lovers of Fargo are awake,
1 think, to the fact that this first
event of the new year, of musical
nature, is of Important proportions,
and in the Encouragement of the
San Carlo Grand Opera company,
many have universally expressed
themselves as profoundly pleased,
"It is further gratifying" conclud-
ed Mrs. Cushing, who has herself
been instrumental in bringing to Far
go and to the state many celebrated
artists, to know that Fargo is hold
ing conspicuous place on the must
cal map and that 1t is now con-
sidered one Of the high points to be
made, in the itineraries Of artists and
musical organizations of widest
reputation. My daily mail is proof
Of that"

ture in which Leah Baird appeared,
Henry Walthall, who did Ben
Cameron, the little colonel, had just
completed The Avenging Conscience
for Griffith. He had suffered a
breakdown, and was in the hospital.
They cast me for the leading role,
and I rehearsed it. At the last mo-
ment, Walthall appeared on the
scene, and, naturally, took the part.
"Grifhth told me at the time that
my part would do more to establish
me than would Walthall's, which was
true. My real success in photo play
started with The Birth Of a Ma
tion'"
Reid is more than leading man.
He has been playwright and scenario
writer. He played in vaudeville in
THE Girl and the Ranger, his
fathers sketch, and acted as BUSH
ness manager Of the company at the
time.
In the beginning he turned his at
tention to directing. He learned the
business thoroughly. He started at
the bottom, worked through the
various stages, and became an expert
cameraman in addition to other
things.
Besides which, he has brains and
not trace OF egotism.
Which marks him as one Of our
best screen stars Of today.

William Farnum as Jean Vatican
in the screen version of Les Miser-
ables" appears to have scored the
triumph of his screen career. The
picture has been showing in New
York since early in the month, and
his is what two leading New York
papers had to say about the play and
its leading man:
New York American: "Mr. Far
mum appeared brilliantly in the
strong role Of Jean Vatican and was
supported by a fine cast. The plot
was converted into an absorbing
scenario and the production made
with great care"
New York World: IAN excellent
example of what the movies can do
for the classics of literature. Nov
ing picture producers deserve credit
for doing this sort Of thing il only
for extending the sphere Of worth
while ideas and increasing the pub
lie interest In good books"

says Miss Ellington, who was born
a few years or so ago, down in
Texas, was sneaking an old alarm
clock from the kitchen table and
taking it out to the woodshed to take
apart and find out just what made
the wheels go around. I found out
and put it together again and didn't
have a single piece left over, which
I regard as some triumph. And If
the motion picture business ever
busts up I can always go over to

Eric Campbell, the heavy" of the
Chaplin comedies, has two claims to
distinction: first, his size-he
weighs close to 800 pounds; second,
his ability as a comedian. Campbell
left Pom Pom" one of the stages
most successful musical productions,
a couple Of years ago to join forces
with Chaplin. He was with the Lyric
Theater stock company of London
for seven years, appearing in a num-
Der Of successes. Campbell is an
author as well as a player, having
written and produced a number of
film comedies screened by the Lon

the men rejoiced in the thought that
they were helping to make It hot for
the Huns. The keel Of the Cumber'
land was laid on January %, 1918, and
notwithstanding two months delay In
getting lumber from the South the
ship was launched on July 20. She
was the first of ten wooden freight
steamers, each Of $500 tons capacity
that the Cumberland Shipbuilding com.
parry is constructing for the United
Stctas Shipping'board. The keel Of the
second ship, the Falmouth, was laid
in the phenomenally short time of four
minutes. .H..
The workers are nearly all native
Maine men. It Is a remarkable evil

yards in Portland there is now another
modern shipbuilding plant, that of the
Portland Ship Colling company. Noted
nearly sixty years ago for their wood
en- ships, barks and schOoners, the
Russell yards passed into oblivion, with
not even a shack remaining. In July,
1917, the site was a mudhoe.
Then came the Portland Ship Coil
ing company, which up to that time
had been making stalls and bins. for
cattle and grain ships. Already 1t has
launched three wooden ships, each OF
$500 tons. The greater part Of the 500
men-mostly native Maine men--have
been converted into shipbuilders with

Bit" is the motto In this yard. On one
of the FORCES is painted the exhorta-
ton, "Iloast the Kaiser"
In Other Yards.
These are only two of half dozen
shipyards in Portland, with more to
be established. The other yards are
building MILLIONS Of dollars worth of
wooden freight steamers, trawlers,
lighters and tugs.
In Bath approximately $4,000 dead
weight tons Of merchant marine are
being built. Much of this is steel
ships being; constructed by the Texas
company, which employs about 1900
men. Near by, at Boothbay and East
Boothbay, six shipbuilding concerns are
building or will build this year a total
of a dozen or more schooners ranging
from 500 to 1000 tons each.
After being dormant nearly forty
years, the old Soule shipyard at South
Freeport Is again bustling with activ.
ity. This was one of the yards where
half century ago many of Names
best clipper ships were built. Here
three 3,500-tOn wooden steamers have
been under construction this year. Bel
fast yards are turning out four wooden
schoOners, three of them five-masted.
In other Maine places many other
wooden schooners, generally three and
four masted, and a number of wooden
freight steamers are being hurried to
completion.
With delight Maine is watching our
merchant marine grow to a supreme
place, and with pride, it is sharing in
its building.
