WALLACE REID THE
REAL SPEED KING IN
"THE ROARING ROAD"
Popular Paramount Star Breaks
Automobile Records in His
Latest Photoplay.

In his new Paramount picture,
"The Roaring Road" which will be
shown at the Huree theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday, Wallace
Reid blossoms out as a speed king.
During the filming of the scenes, Mr..
Reid himself drove his racing car,
taking all kinds of chances and driving
at incredible speed, to secure the last
word in realism.
Most Of the race scenes for the
picture were filmed on the famous
Santa Monica race course iover
which numerous road races have been
contested by some of the worlds most
famous drivers.
There is one especially dangerous
curve in this course, known as death
curve" and it is notorious for the
number of accidents which have oc-
CURED there. In one scene of the pic
ture Mr.. Reid rounds this curve. with
perfect ease and accuracy of control
and at the some time, it is said, break
ing the record for speed in rounding
the curve which had been established
and broken many times by various
sped kings. Truly, this shows re-
markable skill in the handling of a
speeding automobile.
The picture was directed by James

MASSIVE SETS AND
REAL FIRE SHOWN IN
NEW CLARK PICTURE
Drawing Room With Furniture Made
Especially for Lets Elope."

Unusually ornate and massive sets
the like of which are seldom erected
for motion picture plays, were pre-
pared especially for Marguerite Clark's
new photoplay, Lets Elope," which
will be presented at the Huree theatre
Monday and Tuesday. These include
a drawing room with a great fireplace
in which real fire is burning and ap-
pointments in the way of furniture
and the like which were made ex-
clusively for this photoplay.
The interior of 4 luxurious bunga-
low is one of the most artistic sets
ever used in pictures. A large wind
ing stairway leading to balcony over
head is hung with skins, rugs and
other trophies of the hunt. A large
rock fireplace was especially built so
that real fire could be used. The
leaping flames give a realistic touch
that has not been felt in fireside pic
lures heretofore. The massive furni-
ture, leather upholstering, rugs, walls
lined with books and cozy reading
lamps, make this an enviable place to
look upon, .
Another set that is attractive and
unusual is the drawing room used by
the "vamp" in the story The furni-
ture was specially built by one of
the exclusive furniture dealers on
Fifth Avenue, New York. The design
of the French Fleur de lis and bow
knot traced through the heavy draper
les and silk wall coverings is also car
ried out inthe decorative scheme on
the furniture The color scheme is a
fascinating shade of purple, while the
lamp shades, heavy window draperies
and upholstering are done in antique
gold. The effect generally is sooth-
ing and restful

Italian emigrants to the United States.
