DIRECTOR
TRIES STARRING
George Marion Has Some
ShreWd Hints for Theatre
cal Aspirants

George Marion. who will come to the
Adelphi in '"Toby's Bow the comedy
by John Taintor Footr. was long known
only as a stage director. But before
he was ii director-long before-Mr.
Marion had gained fame as an able
character actor.
This detailed knowledge of his art
made him n capable guide in FRAN
ing plays for other folk. Mr.. Marion
has evolved a few brief rules for the
aspirant for stage honors and here they
are:
"Afcctation is the chain which binds
the average actor to mediocrity.
Stage tricks are fascinating
weapons with which to fight for pub
lie approval. but they are boomerangs
rather than Mauspr rifles.
'RepresSed emotion has become as
banal a phrase as perfect lady, but
it nevertheless indicates the stage
method of the future.
at is we'll to regard the average
audience as a mass intellect TO which
only thought and sincerity will appeal
''Nevpr should an actor convey to
an audience the least suggestion that
he is listening to his own voice with
fondest appreciation"
"The actor should discriminate care
fully between the two attitudes-conceit
and dignity. Conceit is destructive.
dignity is constructive

TOPICS OF INTEREST
TO MOVIE PATRONS
Eugene O'Brien as a Star.
Billie Burke's Screen
Farce

'"The Perfect Lover" the first produce
ton in which Eugene O'Brien will make
his bow as a Selznick star, will be at
the Stanley week Of September Is. It
is an adaptation Of THE Naked
Truth" n magazine story.
The story, which concerns a young
man who through outward influences has
become a personal magnet to which
women seem attracted and who gets
into difficulties because of this charm
ing personality, is one calculated to
bring out the dramatic ability Of the
star.
Mr.. O'Brien's part Is not only the
principal role around which revolves the
story, but it is also n study of environ
mcnt, and its effects upon the indi-
vidual. The plot is unique in that IL
calls for four leading women to play
opposite the star.
In Tom Moore's new picture, lord
and Lady Algy," next week at the Pal
ace, suffering rage of one Of the char
%acters, Barbazon Tudway, a wealthy
soap manufacturer, who suspects Lord
Algy Of carrying on a Irritation with his
wife, is depicted on the screen through
the ability of William Burress. Mr..
Burress has several p~hysiognomical adj
vantages for registering broad, comic
effects a mobile mouth, eyebrows that
respond to his every thought and cheeks
that puff in or out on the slightest
provocaticn. In one scene Tudway's
mouth opens wide in accusations, he
tries to close it and cannot succeed. In
this embarrassing and suffering posi-
ton the cameraman caught him for a
fraction of a second. Then, with a ire
mendous effort, the suspecting soap
manufacturer succeeds in closing his
mouth. The shout that bellows forth
almost leaps from the screen.

that the army colonel she was enter

The Countess Verona is a gypsy. and,

at heart, but unlike many of her peo-
pie, also a musician by education. Her
entry into vaudeville next week at
Keith's is with the cembalom, which
in appearance resembles n piano, cx-
ccpt that the music is obtained by strik
ing strings with a sort of felt hammer
instead of playing on keys. The tone
produced is much the same as that of
the either, but much thicker and
clearer.
She made her debut in this country
at the New York llippodrome, where she
had great success which she is repeat

HOLDING BONDS 10 THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Are Worth 10 the Height
Of Folly.

Two things are true when . Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person il
selling something for less than its
value another person is lucky in strik-
ing bargain; one IL . chump. the
other IL fortunate.
You may argue the one IL forced to
sell. Possibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of his In
vested capital on his bond. or will show
him = way to get the highest possible
value.
The record of the sale and purchase
Of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly. that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands Of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for loss than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at considerably shove par
in narly every case.
II there 10 a more decided example
Of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart
msnt at Washington would like to
know of IT,
