Her Canine Understudv

Young, Frank Doane snd all the
rest of the original cast,
The Border Legion" Zane Grey's
gripping story of the West, was
transferred to the screen amid
gorgeous mountain scenery, the like
of which has never been eQualled in
motion picture production. T. Hayes
Hunter. producer and director of
The Border Legion" at the Rialto
Theater, beginning today, spent
weeks selecting locations for his big
picture.
Many of the earlier scenes of The
Border LegiOn9 had Santa Barbara,
Cal, and surroundings as their To-
Gale. But the telling scenes in the
production were taken in the heart
of the Rockies. Among them is the
hold-up of the pony express, where
band of fifty outlaws swoops down
upon a horde of gold carriers and
makes away with a fortune in metal
after killing several messengers.
Strangely enough, Mr.. Hunter
later learned from a pioneer noun
taineer that the site he chose for
the daring hold-up was the scene of
several robberies of its kind during
the days of '49 and since
Johnnie Joss, chief comedian of the
"Oh, Girl" company. the current
weeks attraction at the Gayety The
ater, has found that there is at least
one man in the world whom he cannot
make laugh, Notwithstanding how
witty his lines may be or how ludi-
crous his antics.
One night in New York I was be-
ing entertained by some friends, &"
he says, land among the strangers
in the party to whom l was intro
duced was man of somber appear
ance and sad demeanor who later
in the evening boasted that no bur
lesque comedian could make him
laugh.
The test was arranged for The
following evening at the regular per
formance. As the curtain rose, there
he sat in the front row. appearing a
little more melancholy than ever. 1
worked on him and him only from
the rise of the curtain, using every
method l knew. to capture the re-
calcitrant haha. But his face re-
mained undisturbed in its serenity.

OF course. everybody knows that
all the principal players of theatri-
cal companies have understudies
but never before has a prima donna
had a male understudy. Yet that is
exactly what little Vivienne Segal
has. Miss Segal will be seen in one
of the principal roles of 'Oh, Lady!
Lady" F. Ray Comstock and Will
lam Elliott's Princess Theater musi-
cal comedy which comes to the Be-
lasco Theater tonight. And what a
patient understudy he is. Every
performance. matinee and night,
since the "Oh, Lady! Lady, COM
pany was organized over a year ago,
Miss Segars understudy has sat
watchful and patient for a chance
to go on in her part
The male understudy is not a fe-
male impersonator and nobody can
vouch for the quality of his voice.
Every member of the company
knows that he must be up in all the
songs. cues, business and make-up,
because he is a constant companion
of little Miss Segal But unfortu-
nately he has not had the oppor-
tunity which every understudy
hopes fora chance to go on and
make good" in the leading woman's
part.
All of which is apropos of Vivi-
enne's little Pomeranian dog, the
cutest, blackest little watch dog
ever created. One night. during the
Philadelphia engagement. vivienne's
mother decided to keep Pom, as he
is called, at home, on account of a
terrific storm. She locked him in
the suite at the hotel and she and
Vivienne made their way to the
theater, via a taxi.
Vivienne remarked that that was
Pom's first night away from her
since she had been with the show.
They arrived at the theater, and as
they opened the stage door, Pom
jumped from behind the radiator.
where he had been drying himself,
and let out bark of welcome. Pom
had sneaked out as Mrs. Segal closed
the door of the suite. He wasn't
going to take chance on missing
a performance as understudy and
have the stage manager tell him
he was fired" Nor was he going
to take a chance on somebody else
guarding his little missile. He sits
in one of the wings at every per-
formance. but only while Miss Segal
is on the stage. The minute her
work is over, he darts into her
dressing room, sits behind her on
the makeup table and guards her
every minute. 1t would take a great
deal of strategy to get Pom, vivi-
enne and her mother separated.
They are pals and constant COM
panions.

Griffith S Film Appealing

Taking his characters from the
simple life, David Ward Griffith has,
in his second Aircraft picture, "a
Romance of Happy Valley" to be
seen at the Palace Theater for the
entire week, embodied all his ac-
customed exactness of detail. su-
perb accuracy and thrills as in his
many other successes. among which
is The Birth of Nation" 'Tntoler-
ance," "Hearths of the World" and
THE Great Love-"
Utilizing the lives of persons
known to him in his boyhood days
in the valleys of the upper Ohio
River. Mr.. Griffith tells of the boy
who wanted to make his fortune in
the large city, the father. a pros
porous farmer, the sweetheart, and
of the mother who wants to keep
the family together in the old home
The unfolding of the story, bring
ing out the final successful effort

of the boy to get to the city, but
not before he had become engaged
to the girl, who promises to wait
for him which she does. although
his returning does not take place
until years after the time set, is
told in such way that its very
simplicity makes it seem as though
1T were a tale about ones neigh
bors.
fThe- cast gathered together for
this picture includes many names
that have become famous under Mr..
Grifhth's direction. Lillian Gish is
the girl. Robert Harron, the boy;
George Fawcett, the father, ana
Kate Bruce, who has created a dis
tinctive type of screen mother, is
appearing in the mother role.
Others, all of whom have excel
lent roles, are George Nichols,
Bertram Grassby. Adolph Lestina,
Lydia Yeamans Titus, Andrew Ar
buckle and Frances Sparks.

mournfully, but some day I'll show
them that they are the wheels thai

a drawer beneath his dressing room

miliar implements of makeup, but a
mysterious array of cog wheels, fat
little wooden wheels, round wooden
sticks, and several little geometric

Here you have in process of for

said Cummings in an oracular voice.
With this little attachment thousands

troubled world.
