The public exhibition of "The New
Moon" Norma Talmadge's latest pict
ure at the Rivoli, will mark the sixth
consecutive feature directed by Chef
Whitney to be shown in the big thea
tres on Broadway. During the past
year Mr.. Whitney has produced "The
Hun Within" "On the Quiet" "The
Pursuit of Polly" maggie Pepper
and little Comrade." Inasmuch as he
confined himself to these six subjects
alone, Mr.. Whitney has created record
that can hardly be touched by any
other director.
Elsie Ferguson wishes to announce
that there is no truth in the rumor
that she will appear in "Montmartre, !"
to be produced by Al Woods, but says
she has found play that she likes.
Her return to the stage does not
mean that she will give up motiea

eight photo plays a year under the d.

Corporation.

The Career of i
Catherine CaIuert

So when the Jealous p. a. for the
new film called US up and said, won't
you help along the cause by interview
ing Miss Calvert?" we said, "No, but
we shall come over to the studio and
see her because we want to-"
We found her busily engaged in
making "The Career of Katherine
Bush" (hope that is spelled right,
and anyone who remembers Elinor
Glyn's heroine will ladmit that she
had busy little career. Lest undue
credit attach itself to us, let US say
that Miss Calvert is working in the
studio Of the Famous Players on
Fiftysixth Street, just half block
from our hotel. While we waited for
Miss Calvert to come off the set we
talked to our own beautiful Elsie
Ferguson, who is working there too.
"Who is your leading man." we
asked of Miss Calvert in one of the
intervals when the lights refused to
work. "My leading men, you mean!"
said Miss Calvert, laughing. "Do you
remember Katherine Bush? Their
name was legion. This is the second
episode, and that one is Crawford
Kent.
Wasn't it wonderful that / should
get q chance to make this picture?
And to be working for the Famous
Players7 Of course, that is the am
bition of every screen player"
We nodded and hoped the lights
wouldn't get fixed until Miss Calvert
finished what she was saying, foy just
as star is telling US the story Of her
life some one always sings out con
the set" or "shoot" or camera" or call
ready"
~ must tell you something strange"
said Miss Calvert, still in the purple
haze which hangs over set when the
lights are only half on. "Just two
years previous to the time when l
started work on this picture, l started
my screen career. My apartment is on
Fifty-ffth Street and remember
standing at the window and looking
over at this studio and saying, Oh, why
can't it be that studio that l am going
to? And then and thereI determined
to make this my goal. So you see I
have succeeded and in just two years
to the day."
And here the lights went up and
Miss Calvert was called away to act.
We waited for ten minutes, thinking
that they would go out again, but they
didn't, so we went shopping and bought
frame for the picture Miss Calvert
gave US.

Thnt Rise
TO Puzzle Us

conclude we were witnessing con-
sclentlous representation of the pre-
historic past Of yesterday. But when
Miss Reed in the modern story blooms
upon us as the grown-up daugh-
ter and the liveliest and most natural
of modern girls and decoration has
not kept pace with her; she has evil
IDENTIFY been unable to persuade the old
millionaire that his Long Island coun-
try house appears more like a palace
hotel which he has evidently fur
nlshed as museum for old time movie
magnificence.
But we needn't have worried about
the pictures title. There is no code of
honor anywhere on the premises; we
must merely suppose it to apply to the
heroine's refusal to marry her brother,
a code which, after all, we cannot con-
slider exceptionally strained. Yet this
fraternal relationship of the lovers is
tho single complication of the entire
story; on from the first we saw it's
white beard waving. But the puzzle is
that intermediate events, quite as ir-
relevant as the title itself, interest US
so much we forget where we are going.
eagerly abandoning ourselves to the
various incidents which rise from the
stream to take our eye with the most
imperious arrestive gestures and then
sink quietly out Of sight again and
are seen no more. For instance, the
love affair Is too imperative to wait for
marriage, and we expect the rest of
tho story to deaf with this, but it
does not; when the very next morning
the hero pronounces himself called
away and the heroine receives no fur
Their word from him we expect the
issue to disclose him as either false or
run over, but no issue whatever Is dis
closed. He simply comes back as fast
as he conveniently can and starts for
the marriage license, remarking en-
route-and not without provocation-
that it is strange she never got any

hearsal of the marriage ceremony, a
family ring betrays the secret of the
fraternal relations. A suicide pact fol-
lows, but is happily nterrupted-while
yet the finger trembles on the trigger!
by the discovery that there is no fra
ternal relationship at all, fact about
which any experienced audience could
have offered enlightenment from the
start.
Now, is not this a puzxle-picture ?
What in the world is the cause Of all
these blind alleys Of interest? Has
there been long, complicated plot,
tremendously cut7 Or a single situa-

Pictures
By Virginia Tracy

We have seen lately two pictures
which have puzzled US extremely.
One of them was Florence Reed in
"Her Code of Honor" and the other
Elsie Ferguson in 1.-THE Marriage
Price" Considering these two names,
we began by wondering whether the
producers had made no selection at
ALL Had they merely taken the top
manuscripts from their desks and re-
CURED the ladies to put over anything
that came along? We're they asking
their stars to repeat the remark which
Shaw jokingly puts into Irving's mouth:
write what trash you like; Tll play
the reality over the head of your
stuff" For in one case this is ex-
actly what comes to pass
We had long avoided "Her Code of
Honor" because advertised honor usu-
ally confronts us only with some false
duty-complex sucked in creed out
worn and dragged into the nice normal
selfshness of our day merely to Gre
ate complication. But, ultimately,
We couldn't avoid Florence Reed. And
we should now know good deal bet
ter what we think about "Her Code of
Honor" if they had undarstudies in
pictures and we could see one in her
part. Any lamp is lovely with a rich
light glowing through it, and we are
curious enough about this lamp to wish
to examine it with the light out.
Even the prologue is puzzling. 1t
presents betrayed and deserted lady

ago, and bequeathing her baby daugh-

confusion of notified wall papers and
art embroideries and spikes of rubber

hung from every inch of space so that
they were not only enough to kill any
deserted lady, but to make 1t difficult
to pick out the actors from the back
ground. So that when we found Flor
