ENGLISH NOBILITY
IN GRIFFITH FILM
Arcadia to Have New Screen
Play Made in England
and America

To induce the first women of Great
Britain to do menal duties, such as
scrubbng floors, washing windows and
morping walks. for motion picture pro-
duction, was one of the tasks that de-
velUped upon David w. Griffith. while
producing THE Great Love-" for Art
craft. which Is to be presented at the
Arcadia Theatre all next week.
Chief among the women were Lady
Diana Manners, the most beautiful wom-
an in England. Elizabeth Asquith and
many others. who were called upon to
PEI form these menial tasks in the course
Of their duties on behalf of the war
ReltCf, Red Cross and other war activi-
tics brought into being by the great
conflict. and they assumed the attire of
se"vans and performed the tasks for
Mr. Griffith's camera exactly as 1t is
done in real life.
In making The Great Love" the
first of his new series for Aircraft, Mr..
Griffith received the help and encour-
agcment of Queen Alexandra and many
of the leaders of social activities OF
London. The picture reveals beauti-
fui love story, but It's prime purpose is
to show how war has leveled all ranks
and awakened the so-called leisure
classes of the British Empire TO the
needs of their country. The various
roles are in the hands of notable screen
players. including Robert Harron, Henry
Wa!thall and Lillian Gish.

FILMS SHOW U. S. SHIPBUILDING
What Is Being Done in Shipbuild.
ing Shown in 'America's Answer

That America is building n bridge of
ships to France is more of a reality than
has been generally supposed. for It is
shown in Americas Answer" the
United states official war picture at the
Forrest. beginning August 12, that ships
are being built and launched from the
many shipyards of the country at a fe-
verish rate.
In these films, released by the COM
rHittee of public Information scenes are
shown In many of the leading shipbuild-
ing plants of the country. and in all of
them the ways are filled to capacity with
ships In the building, with men working
like beavers to rush them to completion
Many. launchingS are shown, and each
ship that goes down the ways represents
another span in the bridge of ships to
reach across the Atlantic
An interesting part of the shipbuild-
ing program is that dealing with the
submarine chaSers. the little speed boats
that are to fight and subdue the U-boat
menace. While hundreds of them have
been launched and are on active duty,
hundreds more are on the ways and
being rushed to the water.

FORECAST OF LOCAL
THEATRICAL SEASON
Attractions Scheduled at the
Playhouses-New Theatres
and Plays

The past theatrical year was the most
profitable from the box office angle of
any recent season. The theatres were
kept open longer by reason Of the excep-
tionally cool weather during June and
July, and while the thermometer has
been lowering about the 100 degree mark
recently, the same period last season
averaged only 81 degrees.
Philadelphia is now enjoying the ad-
vantage Of having many war industries
located within it's boundaries, and these
places of industry have brought thou
sands Of persons from other cities and
towns. The workers are here to stay,
and building operators have been hard
put to 1t to supply dwelling places for
the toilers. The theatres will also reap
the benefit Of the presence of these new
comers. All the managers are preparing
to open their theatres at an early date
with the same style of entertainment
which has been the policy of the houses
in the past.
At the present time the owners of the
Walnut Street Theatre which was erect
ed In 1909, and is said to be the oldest
playhouse in America, are trying to Sc
cure a lessee for the property. Last
year it played popular-priced attrac-
tions.
The Shubert interests open new the
atre on South Broad street the week of
August 26. with ''Chu Chin Chow" as the
attraction. 1t is to be known as the
Sam s. Shubert Memorial Theatre. and
Is located next to the Academy Of Music.
on The ground where Horticultural Hall
once stood.
Another playhouse under construction
Is to be known as the Dunbar Theatre.
and Is located at Broad and Lombard
streets. 1t is to be opened about Christ
mas week. The auditorium will seat
about 1900. The theatre is named in
honor of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the
negro poet.
The first of the burlesque theatres to
open will be the Trocadero. 1t Is sched-
uled to begin its season tonight, The
Casino will open next Monday, while
Peoples reopens August 10. The Gayety
remained open all summer with stock
