THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
I'OII'S.

There is note of distinct novelty in the headline feature offered at Polls, the latter half of the week, by the Kuma Four wonder workers of the Orient" This entertaining quar- let presents a series of illusions that are mystifying and a vein of comedy prevails throughout their efforts in the black art.
 The photoplay program includes some very attractive features. Charles Ray. one of the most versatile stars ~ the screen, will be seen in a com edy drama of baseball life called "rhe Busher." There will be Har- old Lloyd comedy and, as usual, the Pathe News.
 A special added feature in the vaudeville program will be a pleasing playlet. "A Real Pal" introducing Mary Howard S Company.
 Other vaudeville attractions of the current bin include Richards and Simmons, in songs and dances; Or ben and Dixie in "Breezes From the South," and Enos Fraser, An Amer iCan Ace"
 Tomorrow, Independence Day, there will be four shows. at 1:3O, 3:30, 6:3O and s:45. Returns from the Willard-Dempsey fight will be announced in the afternoon.

SCREEN AND STAGE
 EDITED

further review of the review will be given later.
 The uptown district has settled down to a summer of apparent pros perity No closingS have been an- nounced for a fortnight, and the plays now in operation are being liberaliy patronized not so much by those or the greater city as by the visitors It is estimated that half a million
 strangers enter and depart from Manhattan island each day, and 1t is this army of reckless spendthrifts who make it possible for New ork 1 pIayhouses to declare dividends In the 1 winter and remain open at all during l the summer.

WEST END.

In Putting It Over" Bryant A. Washburn's new Paramount picture which will be presented at the West End theatre tonight, Shirley Mason, the dainty little star, will play the leading feminine role, that of Mary StaceY, the little city girl with whom the big, country boy falls in love.
 Mp. Washburn is quite fortunate in having for his leading woman such a splendid little actress. Miss Mason has had an extensive stage and screen career. She co-starred with Ernest Treux in Come On In,' Goodbye Bill" and several other Paramount successes. Three recent Paramount productions in which she starred are The Winning Girl" ''The Rescuing Angel" and "The Final C1ose-Up.'
 As little Mary Stacey, Miss Mason is said to give a. splendid perform ance.
 "Vlrtuous Husbands" & Fox two reel Sunshine comedy, will also be shown.

THE REVIEW
 OF THE RIALTO
(By Dixie Hines)


 New York, July 3.---Not to be out done by the uptown theatrical ele- ment, the band of Greenwich village denizens, who run their own amuse- nient factory, opened this week "follies' which promises to give the older groupe of follyites a run for popularity. Greenwich village is es- la bishing in it's own right, and by it's own right, a district separate and quite distinct from all others. It was here, let us remind the reader, that t@The Better Ole started on it's car ger of success, and the new follies, although contributed largely by up- tOwners. notably in the. person of Bettie Mccoy, is otherwise quite dis tinct, conmendable and successful as any summer show in town, and this means lot. It has been the custom to deride these efforts as being semi i professional, so to speak, but with John Ferguson" one of the biggest ! successes in town, and a success won 1 under so-called semi-professiona ! auspices, and the new foIlies doing z 1 one hundred per cent success in towr i it is time the regular producers ana : their retinue, "gave a thought to th1 i insurrectionalists within their field.

PLAZA.

As a rule the eminent character actor, Frank Keenan, is awful1y modest regarding his own achieve ments, but in talking about "The Master Man." his first independently produced photo play, he characteriz- ed this production as a masterpiece of repressed intensity, most gripping in its quiet, deliberate action.
 "The Master Man. begins with a big, tragic situation and moves rap idly from one powerful climax to another, and from a technical point of view is said to be a model direct continuity. Mir. Eeenan as Emanuel Blake, attorney general of a great state in the Union, a master hand and power behind the throne of ma chine politics rises to every situation with surety of emotion and convic- lion of expression. The supporting company is q splendid one, and the play is presented with every regard for correct sta ginE. The, Plaza the at-e announces "rhe Master Man" as the big feature for today, Friday and Saturday, with a good vaudeville bill.

Paints Fantastic Settings
 For New Dana Play

In '"The Microbe." scenarioized by June Mathis from the story by Henry Altimus, in which Metro will star dainty Viola Dana, there is a dream calling for q forbidding Door of De- spair."
 The "set'' for this scene was the despair of the technical department at Metros Hollywood studios until Direcor Henry Otto hit upon the novel idea of having D. Anthony Tauszhy of the art department paint the entire setting-virtually a huge background--in oils. This Tauszl>y did, imparting to it all the exotic noster effects he could muster. By double exposure the actors play their parts before this picturesque back ground, and the result is an effect that visualizes the phantasma goria of d dream.

EMPIRE.

If you want to see some of the most extraordinary clever acting which has been caught by the cam era this year, go to see Priscilla Dean In The Wicked Darling at tho Empire theatre. The Wicked Darling" is positively superb. It is impossible to find a flaw in it from the standpoint of acting, of directing. of story development or of lighting and photography.
 With a cast which includes Lon Chaney Spottiswood Aiken of Grif- filth fame and development Yelling ton Playter and our old unnamed buffoon wrestler "Kalla Pasha." 1t would be impossible for the story to he better cast. Evelyn Campbell wrote the story and Tod Browning held the mega phone.
