forty-five people were expected at the
Broadway Theatre Monday night the
management did not have programmes
printed. Instead, they had new slip
covers put on all the. seats And all
the seats were used, thus disappointing
the management. The picture was
The Models Confession but the model
was not an artists model and she did
not economic in clothes.
THE best part Of the theatre is the
usherettes. There were only two of
them, but they were some James. l
would of liked to turn around and look
at them, only had on a tight collar
and a sunburnt neck
THE show was late. 1t was plain
that the management would not start
until they got a full house But
pretty soon they landed "a pair of
queens and the show began.
"The first picture was an education
al Universal Weekly, very patriotic
and all that. The next was a comedy
starring Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran.
Very thrilling. And then came the
feature. 1t had very unusual plot
What was it about? Ask H. u. She
knows. AS for me. I was busy with
the pair of Queens"
Here is another:
"A pair of skies played at Loew's
to record breaking crowd. There
were many notables present. including
myself The poker hounds were in
all their glory, and there was much
betting in the audience as to who
would get the highest spade. Well
here is the plot-Some friends were in
the pill business. Customers were so
rare that when one did come in they
would all jump on him. The result
was heated arguments. At last one Of
the partners left in disgust The other
two threw insults at each other until
Taylor Holmes got Cholly Horse and
they called it off.
Taylor is supposed to be the come
dian, but l think that the servant in
the house has a better batting average
than he. She was insanely in love with
him-and in these days, when there is
shortage Of cooks, he should of mar
ried her"

By Harriette Underhill

On the back page of The Tribune
every morning Mr. Briggs draws a
picture Sometimes he says, "Ain't 1t
a Grand and Glorious Feeling?" and
sometimes "When a Teller Needs a
Friend" but the series we have in mind
is called "Somebody Is Always Taking
the JOY Out of Life" and we mean to
give him an idea for a picture. 1t is
to be about us rushing joyously up to
some one and saying, "I'm going to in
terview Fred Stone" and about their
reply, 81 wish you luck. He Is the
most difficult person in the world to
interview" Grape hanger!
Not that any one could take the Joy
out Of life while there are motion pict-
ures and plays and dramatic and
photodramatic persons to interview
We consider our job the only one in
the world without flaw, and any one
who aspires to swat the fly won't find
any in the vicinity of our syrup.
However, it is rather grand and
glorious feeling when you meet Fred
Stone and realize that you are going
to be wonderfully entertained for an
hour. He would have talked even
longer than that, only we saw him
after the theatre, and we had supper
to eat, which a heartlcss Mayor says
must be eaten before l o'clock.
Fred Stone is like child in his en-
thusiasm for his work, past, present and
future And he calls working before
the camera this summer taking vaca-
ton!
We saw him the night before he
closed in "Jack O. Lantern"
The line which pleased us the mos
was one which Bobby speaks. Jack i:
reading to the children the tale o
Little Red Riding Hood, and he says
"And there beside her Red Ridin,
Hood saw, standing with bristling hail
and cleaning white teeth-whom dc

shouts Bobby.
After we heard this we decided tina
we should not interview Stone unit
the last line had been spoken, for i
we went back between the acts w
might ruin some Of it. So we sen

sented to stay in town all night ane

proachable he is. Later he told u.

said to Allene Crater, who in private
life is Mrs. Fred Stone, 1--WE do not
take tho 1880 to Long Island to-
night"
Mr.. Stone is going to begin work
tomorrow in the Paramount studios in
Los Angeles. This will be the first
time he ever has appeared in front of
the camera. He always has appeared
behind it, for in all Of his hunting
tours in Yellowstone Park and the
Grand Canyon and the Rocky Noun
tains he has taken motion pictures of
the lions and tigers and bears which
he trapped. Rex Beach does the same
thing. So does Bob Baker.
"Well." said Stone, "I'm looking for
ward to this vacation as I never have
before" He looked so funny as he
said it, for he was sitting on a table
swinging his feet and he had the
makeup of "Charlotte Russo, the
greatest female skater in the world"
left on his two extremities, viz, his
feet and his head. He still wore the
wig and the white satin shoes. The
rest Of him was wrapped in a blue
bathrobe. "That new ice they have
out there is frozen differently" he
said, land it's so hard to skate on.
Hard to fall on, too, I learned to
skate just for this production. Hired
an expert and said, Now show me some
effective figures and I'll do them

Mr.. GLAND has a wonderful sense of
humor and he thinks it is very funny
comparing these literary gems and their
returns with the popular plays which
he has done.
AS a matter of fact we are glad that
MI. GLAND has decided to amass some
OF this worlds goods by appearing in
the movies, although we shouldn't be
surprised any day to hear that he had
lett the screen and was going to a
Theatre Intime" devoted to the ex-
ploitation Of Johann Sigurj
plays. However, at present, he isn't
doing anything like it at ALL He has
just finished World drama called
The Mandarin's Gold" Mr.. GLAND has
played villains Of all nationalities, but
this is his first Chinese.
Il enjoyed it, too," he said VIXEN we
asked him how he liked living on rice
and eating with chopsticks, fguratively
speaking. "Those old mandarins had
the right idea about comfort in dress
and coitfeur." We were so elated at
being back on our own ground that
we nearly asked him if he didn't miss
his queue, but we remembered what
Sollta Solano said to US about puns
and desisted. We were afraid that
Mr.. and Mrs. GLAND shared her aversion
as they share her admiration for Ib-
sen and Sigurj
Oscar APPEL. who directed "The Man
darin's Cold" told us that Mr.. Glands
Chlnaman was the most remarkable
portrayal of a Celestial that he eve,
had seen and he offered in support of
this statement the fact that when Mrs
GLAND came over to the studio to see
her husband she passed him by and
didn't know him. This Mrs. GLAND
says is quite true, adding, "You know
my husband Is really very handsome
and l couldn't believe that he could
look so ugly" H.U.

Schuylkill River at Betzwood, Penn
is rapidly nearing completion, under
the direction of Ira M. Lowry. Lady
Tsen Mel, star of the vaudeville cir
cults, will make her screen debut in

Quite apart from the novelty of
Tsen Mei's nationality, her ability to
portray many types other than Celestial
ones makes her real find" 1t is the
purpose of the Betzwood Film Com
pany to present its star in various
roles of the Far East and other exotic
nations, in big, gripping stories writ
ten around these types.
The supporting cast is composed of
Robert Elliott, Ben Hendricks, jr, Her
bert Pattee, and others, including a
host Of real Chinese actors and &C

Ships and Sealing Wax" and reviews of
Broadway "burlecues" have recently
made him famous, is now breaking into
