BACK TO VAUDEVILLE
Kingsley Benedict, Keith Star,
Quits Screen

The movies as an advertising factor
are definite means of exploitation.
The screen favorite in an exceedingly
short time becomes known throughout
the world, consequently film stars are
generally better known than the players
of other branches of the theatre.
Kingsley Benedict was an excellent
actor long before he loaned his talents
to the screen. He created and played
many important parts in support of
prominent legitimate stars and in sue
cessful plays. However, it remained
for the films to make his name house
hold word.
Nothing, however. will lure many
players away from the spoken drama
permanently. Mr.. Benedict is again
seeking his return by appearing in
vaudeville. For this purpose he has OBJ
tanned a One-act play, wild Oats, "
which he will present at Keith's next
week. 1t is little study of criminol-
ogy, a mixture of fun and philosophy.

the big film" the director often is
compelled to write special scores him
self at points in the film for which
nothing in the big operas or symphonies
seem applicable.
1T is necessary for the director to
be thoroughly convcrsant with musical
masterpieces, said Mr.. Lowenstein,
for otherwise he would be often at a
loss for appropriate selections for GER
tain portions Of his picture.
The musical accompaniment to the
film must be as carefully planned and
executed as was the dramatic work in
making the film. The public nowadays
has grown to expect and demand the
best there is in music when it goes to see
the high class motion pictures in high
class theatres. Many of the patrons
are as interested in hearing the music
as they are in seeing the picture, and
hundreds of those who attend the show
ings of the same film second time do
so as much because of the beautiful and
harmonious selections as because of the
screen success.
I'm the music incidental to the show
ing of The World and It's Woman we
have endeavored to make every selection
harmonic perfectly with the action"

The first moving pictures of the
"whirling dervishes" of Turkey are to
be seen in one of the new single reel
subjects Of the Bureau of Pictures of
the American Red Cross, according to
statement of the Educational Films
Corporation of America. The organiza
tion has finished cutting and titling four
of the new pictures, one of which will
be devoted to the city of CONSTANT
nople.
The dcrvishes of Turkey are an an
cient religious order, rather to be CLASH
fed as a profession than a priesthood.
They correspond with the religious
fakirs of India. The Turkish dervishcs
hold their performances in dim cellars
and collect goodly sums from the au-
dience of laymen and spectators that
is present. They are allowed to marry,
and they labor in the fields like other
men when the dervish business fails to
earn sufficient income to meet the high
cost of living.

A SOLID ACHIEVEMENT
That, Literally, characterlzes Street
in Farrar Film

One Of the most solid and true to-
detail settings probably ever constructed
for motion picture is the huge street
scene used in Geraldine Farrar's fea-
ture, "The World and It's Woman" at
the Chestnut Street Opera House. This
was built on solid concrete foundations,
with heavy timber throughout. The
street proper was graded, oiled and
covered with light gravel. The side
walks are laid with cement. The walls
of the buildings, several of which arc
more than fifty feet tall, are covered
with genuine plaster, button lath being
used. This style of lath is used only
for permanent buildings, and construc
tion men wondered at its being used by
the Goldwyn Company. But the results
on the screen are notable for solidity
and illusiveness.
The big street and building entrances
are populated by more than $500 ex-
tras. There are mob and soldier scenes
and general activity, which make the
place look like the real thing.

THERE Is only one thing missing
i from the spectacular motion picture
drama, 1.-THE World and It's Woman"
featuring Geraldine Farrar as an opera
singer on the quickly improvised screen
at the Opera House. Every audience
this week-why are they called audi
ences, when nothing is audible? Why
not 'spectrance' for an aggravated as
sembly of cinema fans?-to resume,
every audience yearned ineIpressibly to
hear tn. golden notes of the diva in the
mirror song from '"Thais," which role
Miss Farrar is represented on the screen
as singing triumphantly at the Petrograd
Opera House.
Aside from the omission of solo from
Miss Farrar, this production is excep-
tionally supplied with good music. Sid
ney Lowenstein, who has had no table
experience as a concert soloist and as
an ensemble player with symphony or
chestras, has band of thirty musi-
clans under his baton. Yesterday, be-
fore the Farrar film began to flash its
romance of heroic womanhood versus
bolshevism on the screen, he talked
about some of the difficulties that con-
front the musical director of an elab-
crate high class cinema production. For

TOPICS OF INTEREST
TO M0vIEDOM'S FANS
Elsie Ferguson In ThriIler--Not-
able Support for Wal
lace Reid

Many odd things occur during the
filming of photopays, as was evidenced
during the making of ''The Witness
for the Defense" with Elsie Ferguson
as star, which will be the feature next
week at the Stanley.
While filming one scene represent
ing jungle in India, but which was
made in FLORIDA, Miss Ferguson was
watching flies which annoyed tame
looking alligator lying half submerged
in lagoon. Her gold mesh purse, con-
tanning a considerable sum, fell from
her hand and without warning was
snapped up by the alligator. An attend
ant suggested that the animal be killed
at once and the property recovered, but
Miss Ferguson would not permit this.
Miss Ferguson is lover of animals.
''The Witness for the Defense is a
thrilling picture, the scenes of which
are laid in England and India. The
support includes Vernon Steel, Warner
GLAND and Wyndham Standing.
Two notable engagements for "The
Valley of the Giants" in which Wal
lace Reid is the star and which will
be featured next week at the Arcadia,
lend added interest to his perturbation
of Captain Peter B. Kyne's novel.
For his leading woman the Para
mount star has Grace Darmond, who
has appeared in many pictures oppo-
site Earl Williams. Miss Darmond had
several years stock experience before
going into films and played leading roles
in 1.-The House of Thousand Can
dies" "a Texas Steer" etc. KAY
Laurel, the "Follies' girl, has a part
in the picture also. Miss Laurel was
one of the beauties of the Ziegfeld shows,
and her poses have attained world
wide fame. She has been painted by
noted artists.
One of the most important premieres
OF the season will occur at the Victoria
week of September s. The feature will
be The objectionable Sin," featuring
Blanche Sweet. The theme of the play,
which is an adaptation of Rupert
Hughes's widely read novel, is based on
the greatest crime known to all history
the crime preached by Nietzche and
carried out by his disciples and fol-
lowers, ruthless killing of women's yir.

company recently organized for the
purpose of handling Chevrolet auto
mobiles and trucks has now COM
pleted all arrangements and is in
shape to handle all work incidental
to the sale of Chevrolet models.
The hackers of the new firm are
r. w. Peterson, of the Peterson
Truck company, and r. w. Hay
ward. of the Hayward Cameron
Motor company. Both of these men
have had considerable experience
in the automobile business and there
is every reason to believe that the
Chevrolet business will make great
Roadway under their direction. R.
w. Peterson will be actively in
charge of the new company.
The recent action of the Chevrolet
Motor company leasing the Flatiron
garage location for the purpose Of
establishing a branch and installing
. very extensive supply Of Chevrolet
cars will, of course, mean great
advantage to the local Chevrolet dis
tributors. In addition to the al

which the Chevrolet branch will
carry, Peterson Hayward Motor
Co. plan on putting in large sup
ply Of parts at their Farnam St. To-
cation. They have also leased the
