Concerning the c. X. Y.
And Clara KinbaU Young

In regard to the announcement from
Harry 1. Carson that the last picture
which Miss Young will make for
C. X. Y. Film Corporation is "Cheating
Cheaters," C. K. Y. Film Corporation
authorized the following statement:
In conjunction with Select Pictures
Corporation we have to-day inserted in
ell of the trade papers a public an
nouncement warning against any inter
ference with our contractual rights
and interests under the contract be-
tween Clara Kimball Young and our
selves. The insertion Of this ADVERTISE
ment was made necessary by state
ments popularity attributed to Mr.. Harry
l. Carson, who has heretofore served as
Miss Young's personal representative
We believe that the time has come in
the motion picture industry when every
respect will be shown, not only by pro-
ducers and distributors, but by ex-
hibtors as we'll, to existing contractual
relations between producing organiza-
tions and their stars, and, accordingly
anticipate no difficulty in the present
situation. We believe we can safely
forecast the continuance by Miss Young
Of her work in our studios until the
contract between Miss Young and our
selves expires, on the 31st day of Au-
gust, 1921.

Pauline Frederick in "The
Woman on the Index''

Goldwyn's first Pauline Frederick
production is scheduled for release on
February 16. 1t is announced as "The
Woman on the Index" by Lillian Trim
BILE Bradley and George Broadhurst
Now that both the title and release
date of this production are made known
Goldwyn also can tell why there has
been so long period during which
1t has had to maintain silence as to
Miss Frederick's productions. 1t was
one Of the stipulations of Miss Fred
erick's last contract that she must not
be advertised or exploited in any new
productions for period of six months
from the end Of her contract.
Willard Mack, in addition to being
the author Of the scenario of "The
Woman on the Index" is one of the
leading players in the cast and is seen
in support Of his wife for the first
time on the screen. In the cast are
Wyndham Standing, Jere Austin and
several other notables Of screen and
stage.

catch his imagination as nothing else
does. after all," he said, quite sim
ply, "I come from the varieties, and
musical comedy is what I understand
best.
Mr.. Cohan may now wear horn
trimmed glasses and look intellectual,
but in reality he still expresses himself
only in terms of action. 1t is this that
makes him SO typical of the America
we live in. There is the dash and
vigor of all our young enterprise in
him. He has an Unsuitable appetite for
doing, and it is in his plays. His people
reveal themselves in action not by what
they say or feel. Now a sophisticated
person will tell you that people do not
reveal themselves in real life by what
they do-one's actions are often so
curiously apart from what one is, but
MIR. Cohan is still young enough not
to have come upon this complication
His plays still swing along in the sin
gle-hearted zest of motion and the
whole -heartedness of it catches one
just as in the old days the sheer vigor
of his dancing did.
Until few years ago when he gave
up acting he knew plays only from the
point of view of one on the stage, al
most not at all from the point of view
of the audience. In view of that lmi-
tation the rightness of their technique
is amazing. And it is amazing too how
acutely he has seized on the phases of
life he has seen. One wonders what
the Sabbatical year would have done
for Mr.. Cohan if it had not been frus-
trated. A reflective year-it might
make or mar that shrewd yet naive,
many-sided but not complex, altogether
unique personality that is George NJ.
Cohan.

secret service agents, and by the time
you get half way through the play you
don't know which is German and which
is English. And yet, very cleverly, by
shading and emphasis, the dramatist
Keeps your sympathy and attention
with the ones he means to make your
lifelong friends at the end. The girl
who starts out as a German gets your
friendship In spite OF YOURSELF and
1hen satisiles you, after staying put as
German up to the last two minutes,
by turning out English. This is indeed
deft and skilful and we'll shaded
play 1t dovetails beautifully. and,
what is most to the point, without any
apparent effort to make the dovetailing
clear to the audience. 1t functions.
and that's enough
The Woman in Room 13" sticks to
the old elementary plan Of letting the
audience in on the game, and it does
Itself great damage thereby. A di-
vorced husband plans to spoil the han
piness of his, former wife and her new
husband by making her appear un-
faithful and yielding to third lover
Inns 10 an idea which might WELD ex-
cltement and suspense. 1t does in the
carly parts, richly. But the accumu-
lated suspense of the play revolves
around just one point, and the plav-
wrlghts give it away two scenes before
the end. The second husband thinks
his wife is in Room 13" and shoots
the man who is with her. Was she IN
Room 13, or wasn't she? The audi
ence squirms in its perplexity. The
play achieves up to that point with sus-
pense, excitement, if not with ease.
But the drama, the conflict of uncer-
talntIes, ends there. The wife was not
IN Room 13, and after that discovery
the old attempt to hold the interest bv
putting the husbands innocence up to
jury meets with Indifferent success.
1T turns out thus early in the play
that the lady is virtuous, and audiences
are by no means uninterested in the
point. But the play would have gained
several hundred horsepower if that rev.
elation had been withheld until the
last curtain. 1t would give the last
parts of the melodrama a continuity
and purpose and heightened interest
that it now sadly lacks.
Any way, a lot of the old rules were
made for plays that were meant to be
believed Nobody believes in melo-
drama, and if that is one paradox, the
other one is that the old rules work
for melodrama only when they're
turned upside down. They arc deal
ing with that kind of world.

In "A Prince There Was" the play Is
not the thing. Even if the play were
far more compelling than it is-and
its pretensions are Of the mildest-the
centre Of interest would inevitably be
shifted from that to George NJ.
Cohan, who plays its leading role.
Here is chance for the public that
has been SO sharply impressed with
the pungent Cohan individuality to
focus its impressions OF him. No one
IS particularly concerned to find out
whether Mr.. Cohan is as good an actor
as he is an acute and successful play
wright and author. AS a matter of
TACT he is. Accomplishments seldom
come singly. To the natural sympathy
of the author playing one Of his own
creations he brings a shrewd sense of
characterization. Perhaps it would be
better for the hope of that part of the
audience which looks for a revelation
CT the Cohan personality if he were not
so good an actor.
but one has natural impatience to
see what has happened to Mr.. Cohan
since the years when he grew up under
cur very eyes, 10 to speak. OF course,
Els withdrawal from our vision has
been punctuated by his plays across
which he has written himself large

Elephant Ball Team
At the HippOdrOn,e

"Her control, perhaps, isn't all it
should be, but her speed is wonderful.
In style and temperament she reminds
me very much of Bugs Raymond"
In the foregoing statement De Wolf
Hopper, king of fans, is not discussing
Belle Story or any of the other beauti-
full stars of the cast of "Everything"
He is talking about his latest baseball
favorite, Jennie, the prize pitcher of
the pachyderm ball team at the Hippo
drome.
At first Hopper was disgusted to
learn that Jennie, like any other girl,
couldn't throw ball overland. or
"overtrunk." Months of practice, how
ever, on the part of the faithful ele-
phant have so far overcome this fault
that she can now hurl a ball faster
and harder than Willie Collier, for
mer member of the famous St. James
nine. More than that she doesn't talk
back" as he used to, according to Hop
per.
Jennie winds up like real pitcher.
lifting her massive left leg high in the
air as she sends curved one at Julie
A fellow fan with Hopper is the
aforementioned Julie, the baby ele-
phant, whose wild slide for the plate
each day induces Mysteries in the audi
ence. Julie and Hopper have many
friends in common, for the former was
born on Forbes Field, the famous Pitts
burgh ball park. and actually christened
Hans Wagner in moment of mistaken
enthusiasm. She has eaten tons of pea
nuts and popcorn from the hands Of
the players on whom Hopper has bet
his salary for the last dozen years.

MOving Pictures From,
PLAYS and Vice Versa

That successful motion picture pro-
duction is valuable basis for stage
play is the evident belief of the prom
inent New York theatrical producing
firm, the Messrs. Lee and ]. J. Shubert,
will shortly produce on the spoken
stage Constance Talmadge's first Select
Picture, Scandal" by Cosmo Hamilton.
According to the announcement, the
Messrs. Shubert, in association with
Walter Hast, have already placed Mr..
Hamlton's Scandal" in rehearsal, with
Charles Cherry in the role created by
Harry c. Browne in the pictures and
Francine Larrimore in the part taken by
Constance Talmadge. The rest of the
Shubert cast has not been announced,
but the cast in support of Miss Tai
madge when Scandal" was originally
produced contained the names of Glad
den James, J. Herbert Frank, Aimee
Dalmores, Ida Darling and w. P. Car
Teton. Charles Giblyn was the director.
The translation Of successful mo-
ton picture into stage play for New
York's critical theatre patrons now
makes necessary a reversion of that
popular catchline, "Based on the sue
cessful stage play of the same name"
Future advertising of the prospective
production may read; "Based on the
successful Select Picture by Cssmo
Hamilton in which Constance Talmadge
starred on the silver sheet"
In the meantime Constance Tai
madge, whose latest picture is "Who
Cares?" another Cosmo Hamilton story,
s busy on her forthcoming Select at
traction, Romance and Arabella,"
biased on the successful stage play Of
the same name by William Hurlbut."

of "a Prince There Was" These three
rings cannot be kept going simultane-
ously, of course, but the SUGGESTIONS
are effected with the smooth continuity
of a protean artist.
This was to have been Nm Cohan's
Sabbatical year. He has Just entered
upon his forties, and with that pause
which comes to q man entering upon
middle age he mistakenly thought he
should make this year of rest, and,
POSSIBLY, reflection. But introspection
is not in the Cohan temperament. No
sooner had the season started than he
was caught in the whirl of it with a
rush. 1t is but half over and he has
already written and produced two of
his own plays, several plays by other
authors have been nine -tenths rewrit-
ten by him, he has in projection a
dramatization Of "Queed" for Grant
Taylor, and he is assembling (and re-
wrlting) a musical piece.
In the midst of this came the emer-
gency of Robert billiards withdrawal
from the cast of "a Prince There Was"
which has brought Cohan back to the
stage. The demands of the role are
not intense Git is a most considerably
restful part), but one ceases to wonder
that Mr.. Cohan looks a little harried
when one hears that he goes home to
write until morning and then returns
for an early rehearsal at ten. Working
twenty hours on four hours sleep does
have tendency to make one limp.
But if one is curious to know which
of all these interests is nearest to his
heart he admits that he likes best the
work on the musical plays. Putting to-
gether the musical numbers, pitching
the dialogue to the right key and set
ting it all to the right tempo-the
and glow of musical comedy

George N. Cohan, Not
Play, The Thing

so that we have really kept in touch
with AL his growing-up processes, but
the opportunity to see in concrete form
what has become of George M. Cohan
is not to be missed The vibrant. nasal,
touch-and-go Cohan of "a Yankee
Prince" is vivid memory. How the
staccato, strident excitement of his
buoyancy caught even the most aloof
one! And SO the gaze one turns upon
Cohan in "a Prince There Was" is
frankly, vulgarly, but quite humanity
curious
The youthful slouch of his Yankee
Doodle days has developed into rather
scholarly stoop. His hair. touched
with silver, gives him an air of rather
startling calm. This insouciant, effort
less playing-are these the signs of
Mr.. Cohan's maturity or is this merely
the modern fashion Of extremely nat
uralistic comedy recently set by Frank
Bacon? To all appearance time has
somewhat toned George NJ. Cohan.
And yet the subdued manner is deccp-
tive. 1t covers restless energy much
more intense than any of his widest
dancing days.
He keeps in continuous operation a
three-ring circus of which he is the
sole performer. Thus in one ring he
is busily pyramidng the plays he is
writing, in another he is Juggling
chaotic bits of the new musical piece
he is producing and in the third he
lightly trapezes into the performance
