THE TRAIL OF THE MOTION PICTURE
The Educational" Film
Sees it Through

racks of the American and Allied ar
mics in the field, is working out, under
the admirable direction of Maurice
Kicker, living maps which will educate
the soldiers in the difficult problems
of racial geography with which the
peace conference will have to deal.
This is only one detail of most am
bilious programme of education by
movies. The work of DR.. Ricker's de-
rartment should prove sad commen-
tary on the opportunities lost in the
official films of the Committee on Pub
lie Information. Think of the Great
War fought out not alone in motion
pictures of tanks and troops and 75s,
but also in great maps of Europe with
Eastern and Western fronts that bulge
and bend with the titanic fortunes of
the conflict!
But why confine the movies to such
far-away battles? There is the sub
way Just beneath our doors. Suppose
Mr.. Shonts had laid aside his editorial
pen for week or so before the great
maze opened, and had made a few
films. Suppose he had flashed upon
the thousand screens of the city-per-
haps by official command--short three
minute movies instructing us in the
intricacies of the 'H." Suppose he had
supplemented brief directions and de-
scriptions with living maps. Suppose
he had thus traced out in a moving,
growing line the route of Bronxite
from 1S0th Street to Chambers Street.
1t isn't so very much of a strain on the
maginaton--not so much as "The
Subway Sum-" any way. Perhaps some
body will try it the next time Mr..
Shonts finishes labyrinth

Enrico Caruso will make his screen
debut at The Rivoli this week in "My
Cousin" a cheerful drama by Mar
garet Turnbull, in which the singer
appears in a dual role.
Caruso's first picture deals with the
love affair Of a poverty stricken sculp-
tor, whose claim to kinship with the
celebrated tenor is challenged by
the sculptor's rival. The failure
on the part Of the singer to
recognize his cousin at chance meet
ing in restaurant strengthens the
until the tenor comes to the rescue;
the relationship is established and the
sculptor is free to continue his court
ship. Carolina White, the noted So
prano of Metropolitan Opera fame,
will appear opposite Caruso. Manag-
ing Director Rothapfel has built a
typical Caruso music programme
around the feature attraction. The
orchestra under the conductorship Of
Erno Rapee, will play the Fantaisie
from Leoncavallo's "I Paglacci" as
the overture Vincente Ballester will
sing the popular prologue" and Annie
Rosner, soprano, will render "The
Bird Song" from the same opera. Sc
lections from "The Chocolate Soldier"
will be played by the orchestra as the
interlude number. One of Robert C.
Bruce's exquisite scenic studies called
"a Wee Bit Odd" the Rivoli Animated
Pictorial, including some stirring
scenes from the Creel Committees Of
ficiai war review, and new Mack SEN
nett extravaganza, "Who's Little Wife
Are You?" complete the pictorial por-
ton of the programme.
Pauline Frederick will appear at
The Rialto this week in "a Daughter
of the Old South" The story, the
work Of Alicia Ramsaye ard Rudolph
de Cordcva, centres about a beautiful
girl who rebels against her betrothal
to wealthy Spaniard. A series of
complications ensue, following her

dition to the feature photoplay.
The orchestra, Hugo Riesenfeld con-
Quoting, will play Enesco's "Rhapsodie
Roumaine" as the principal music
