DECIDED MELODRAMA

1t is doubtful II there is in the
screen world q producer other than
Thomas b. Ince, who would have un-
dertaken a perturbation of Gouver-
neur Morris thrilling story. Behind
the Door," which will be shown At
the Loew's Columbia for four days.
beginning tomorrow. This dramatic
tale concerns fights on sinking sub
marines, leaps from battleships, ex-
citing mob encounters and many incl
dents that require sets that only the
most daring producer would attempt.
The story is distinctly melodra-
matte, with one Of the strongest char
acters that has appeared in modern
fiction. This is interpreted by Ho-
bart Bosworth. That the picture will
be one of the biggest sensations OF
the years Is believed by those who
have seen 1t.
Thomas H. Ince enjoys a reputation
for making big dramatic pictures.
Screen patrons will remember vividly
his civilization" "The Guilty Man"
False Faces" etc. Behind the
Door is said to excel all others in
dramatic realism and vivid portrayal
of modern conflict of emotions. The
scenario was written by Luther L.
Reed and directed by Irwin Willatt.
Jane Novak is the leading woman.

master OF MAKEUP"
DIRECTED WARWICK

James Cruze, the motion picture
director who has handled the screen
ing of all of Wallace Reds recent
films and who directed "Aa Adventure
in Hearts" the picture in which Rob-
ert Warwick is coming to Loew's Pal
ace tomorrow for a weeks run, ap-
peared in over two hundred and fifty
photoplays as character actor be-
fore he took up the directing end Of
the business.
He was known as "the master OF
makeup" and created several no
table screen characters. Cruze is
among those who do not believe the
good character actor gets anywhere
near the credit due him for his work.
The other actors and the direc-
tors-they know" he said recently,
but the people who go to see the pic
lures don't care particularly whether
the character mans work is good or
bad. He can work his head off MAX
ing a minute study OF type, do his
best in the way of makeup, and then
have his efforts go for naught as far
as public recognition is concerned.
Most movie fans regard them simply
as folks to fill in the spaces when the
star is of the screen. There's more
fine character acting going to waste
in the films than any other feature Of
the business"
