AT N NEXT WEEK
Alice Joyce, Marguerite Clark
and Henry Walthall Among
Coming Stars

All financial returns received by
Theodore Roosevelt's heirs from the ex-
hibition throughout the world of The
Life of Theodore Roosevelt" will be do
mated to the Red Cross until all our men
are returned to their homes from the
war.
The production, which will be shown
at the Stanley all next week. is a pic
turixation OF the life of the former Presi-
dent from the cradle to the white
House.
Colonel Roosevelt announced. when
negotiations were successfully concluded
for n special motion picture based on
his career, that he would make the
American Red Cross and possibly other
war work organizations benefciaries Of
n profit which might accrue to him.
He wrote n statement to that effect,
which has been photographed and in
corporated In the first reel of the pic
ture.
Alice Joyce. who plays the stellar role
In The Lion and the Mouse at the
Palace next week. Is one of moviedom's
beautiful and accomplished stars. She
adds another triumph in this powerful
drama, adapted from the stage success
of the late Charles Klein.
Miss Joyce was born in Kansas City,
Mo-, and after being educated in Vir-
gina she removed to New York with n
limited experience In amateur theatricals
and an intense determination to succeed.
Her first position was as a telephone
operator, and then she became an
artists model. Neither of these posi-
lions satisfied her, and when motion
pictures attained vogue she soon be-
came a star. She pictures admirably
and has real dramatic ability.
Turing the filming of Mrs. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch" starring Marguerite
Clark, which will be shown at the Ar
cadia next week, Miss Clark arrived at
the studio In an automobile with half n
dozen ragged children. All wore ragged
clothing and all looked like typical deni-
: zens of the Sums.
Miss Clark was unknown to the nov
at the gate rugged up as she was for
he part of Lovey Mary. When he saw
her Juggling at the gate he shouted,
Hey. you get out of here, all you
KIDS and stay out. Don't you know any
better than to be swinging on this gate
all the timer"
Marguerite made a face at him. and
her pigtails stuck impudently in the
mir as she tossed her head. The real
door man came out n admitted her.
Thu star says she enjoyed the whole
thing.
Mary Anderson, leading woman for
80 tThA Ln
Faces by Louis Joseph Vance. at the
Victoria next week. is one of the best
known of screen i%ngenues. Miss An
derson has lone much delightful work
az a Coincidence. giving to the roles for
which she Is cast freshness of View
mint and artistic touches. Her new role
gives her ample scope for her diversified
talents.
The sncrifce of n wife. who left the
beauty and quiet of n HON among
