Sidney Chaplin was seen around the

it developed that he had just signed a

decided TO star him alone-according TO
press advices. "The Monster and the

that she is making out in Culver City

Mae Gish goes around with a rather

Mrs. Gish, mother of Lillian and Doro-

domiciled with her lively daughter Lii

crowded places-but another off the
beaten track; and trying to placate her
younger daughter Dorothy by long dis
tance. The poor kid is living alone,
except for the maids, in the big Gish
home in Hollywood, and every few days
sends lengthy wire begging Lii and

The first duty, on going TO the theatre
is to be aware of your culture and con
science. For example, clergyman
widely known in religion and literature
was discoursing upon the playhouse, and
while expressing his conviction of the
potential power for good in the play
house, declared himself in one sentence:
81 seldom go TO the theatre myself, be-
cause ! do not know what l am liable
30 run into, even when the actors are
irst class In this remark all uncon-
,eiously, the Reverend offers himself as
magnificent illustration of the supersti-
.ious view of the race in respect to the
playhouse. Why, in heaven s name, does
he not know what he is liable TO run
into9 The answer is easy: Because he
like thousands more-has not dreamed
hat il is a part of his cultural and his
Christian duty to become intelligent in
the affairs Of this peoples art, this
mighty educational influence, the thea
tire.
In his attitude toward any other phase
of thought and life, we should, as likely
not, find him sane and progressive, here,
he is about as modern as the-New
York City horse cars. 1t is easy for
him or for any other man of like edu-
cation 20 know in advance about the
plays he sees, if he is willing to take
the same amount of time and trouble

of Lucy TO her last happy home on earth.
Before an audience distinguished by
the presence of many men and women
prominent in society and public life, and
with touch of dear oil London in the
person of Sir Thomas Upton and party
D. w. Griffith repertory season, the
first in the history of the stage, opened
brilliantly at the Geo. NJ. Conan Thea
ter.
Mr.. Griffith selected for his initial
offering, "Broken Blossoms based on
a story by Thomas Burke, and preceded
by thematic pantomime in which ap-
peared, in real life, the characters of
the picture. The pantomime, or pro-
logue, was one of the most artistic things
New York has seen in years, and imme-
diately put the audience in the Oriental
atmosphere of the picture that fol
lowed. Weird Chinese music, played
back of the screen, added to the appeal
of the prologue, while burning perfumed
incense filed the entire theater with the
fragrance of the Orient.
Mr.. Griffith could not have chosen
more exquisitely delicate offering than
"Broken Blossoms colorful romance
built about the lives of those who smile
and weep in the great Limehouse dis
trict of London. II is a strange com
bination of delicacy and brutality, of
blooming flowers and sudden death, of
the light and shade of life. Its terrific
strength and profound emotion is quite
the most startling New York has seen
on the screen in years and establishes a
new high record for David Griffith. The
players, too, are brilliant in their artistic
achievement, chief honors going to

The Dramatic Power of The Whip

When the English melodrama, "The
Whip" was running in New York, it
became quite the fashionable thing for a
party of young people, and some not so
young, TO slip away from some function
in Fifth Avenue, or even to desert the
opera temporarily, so that they could
ride on the railroad train that steamed
across the stage of the Manhattan Opera
House, and from which the box-car con
tanning the famous race horse in the
,lay was dramatically detached by the
illain, seemingly at the imminent risk
