severe case of poison oak as the
result of being choked by the viii
lain in the new Pathe serial now
being filmed on the West Coast,
when the company was out on To-

of beautiful poison oak foliage, not
knowing what it was, just before he
was called upon to choke the
heroine, and the venom from the
vines was transferred to the neck
and face of Miss Roland, causing
such serious suffering that she was
forced to go TO a hospital for treat

Mud Makes Masterpiece

The extent to which motion picture
directors go in order to obtain real
ism is probably barely suspected by
the average film fan" An instance
of this is given by Allen Holubar. who
was responsible for the direction Of
The Heart of Humanity" which is
taxing the huge seating capacity of
Loew's Palace Theater to the limit
this week
When the trenches for the "at the
front" scene of the picture were
thrown up. and provided with evil
dence of local color so as to pass
the scrutiny of the average viewer
Director HonIbar decided that there
was something lacking. 1t was the
absence of mud and water! That the
correction OF this defect was not a
simple task is shown by the fact that
it was necessary to pump the fluid
from the Los Angeles river bed by a

Apropos of the announcement that
the Metropolitan Theater will present
Theda Bara next week in the big FOX
spectacle "Salome," picture devotees
will read with intense interest the
following story about the famous
screen vampire, written by +. j. Smith
in the current Motion Picture Classic.
Says Writer Smith:
Five minutes passed-ten-hfteen
The veil of incense whirled and cir

grinned from the table. A portrait of
Theda Bara, looking pleasantly over
pale Polar bear, gazed at US in the
eye. Fantastic tapestry designs OF
peacocks draped the walls. Close by
were queer Oriental candles, halt
burned. A golden lucky horseshoe,
presented by an enthusiastic Western
regiment. graced side wall.
The incense gathered and curled
about us. We investigated the room
with the grim purpose to turning it
off-if possible. But it swtried out
thicker and thicker in clouds from
some mysterious side room.
Twenty minutes!
Then came distant rustic and

gray of the burning incense came
