Lois Weber a Realist

The producers OF great stage ef-
fects are these astute directors of
theatrical entertainment who perceive
that imitation can never approximate
the real thing In authenticity or, con-
Vtnctng quality and, therefore, en-
oellish their offerings with genuine
period furniture. real tapestries and
bona hde accessories as requirement
demands.
The foremost exponent In America
Of this school OF realism in inves-
ttture Is. OF course, David Belasco.
When Mr.. Belasco stages a doctors
office. as in The Case of Becky" for
example, or even in a comedy like
The Boomerang" everything per-
tanning to the medical profession that
the scene requires is real. even to the
nurse charts, reference books. etc.
Similarly, when Belasco sets a Cafe
L'Enfant scene, there is a gentleman
In white dipping fiap-jacks and wheat
cakes over a real fire in front of
real glass window-recall The Gov
ernor's Lady"
When consideration Is given to these
minute provisions for the creation and
maintenance of atmosphere, not only
IN the mind OF the spectator. but in
the mind OF the actor as well, it is
not to be wondered at that Lois
Weber has been termed the ''Belasco
of the screen" Lois Weber leaves
nothing to the Imagination in staging
play for registration upon celluloid
The Washington herald., 1919-03-09

The story runs that Maeterlinck
wrote the play in a weeks time. that
after its writing-a matter OF hurried
and quickening inspiration-he thrust
it into the drawer of his desk, caring
little for It and deeming 1t of value
primarily because it afforded him for
the moment an opportunity to let on
some OF the steam Of passionate grief
he felt for the sorrows of his native
land. At the time of its completion
he was living in the South OF France,
while in the north was still raging
the great conflict that was eventually
to hberate Belgium from the heel OF
the tyrant
By chance the play fell into the
hands of an American in Paris who
had had considerable experience in the
producing of opera When he evinced
an interest in it, Maeterlinck asked
him to arrange for production in
America These arrangements were
made with William r. Macdonald, who
was engaged at the time in arrang-
ing moving picture plays for the SOL
diers.
Before sailing for New York in jan
uary Mr.. Macdonald had signed an
agreement with the Belgian poet and
collected the chief actors for the vari-
Gus parts, though, strange to say, he
did not secure E. LyaH Swete to play
the principal role OF the Burgomaster
until after his arrival in America.
The play as 1t will be given in the
Belasco Theater has been directed by
Capt Max Montesole, of the British
Royal Flying Corps.

Read About .:F4hchy-Koo"

The theater-going public like Ray
mond Hitchcock, and "Hitchy" likes
them. II vote were taken as to
who was the most liked eccentric
comedian on our stage, 1t Is more
than probable that Raymond would
be the winner.
Nobody in the theater game on or
off the stage does more than
'Hitchy" to stimulate and cherish
this good will. In liberty loan
drives, recruiting campaigns. and
big performances OF all kinds for
charitable ends, Raymond Hitch
cock is usually sought after and he
lis always ready to do his bit. AS
an after-dinner speaker. he stands
alone just as he does in his intimate
talks to audiences before the cur
tain rises upon his plotless but gay
ly festive and entertaining show.
Httchcock's mission in life isn't
to act. but rather to show himself
as he really is for our entertain
ment. We all look at Hitchcock
and wish we were as happy as he
appears to be. He is a fine tonic
because he is one of the funniest
actors we have. and on top of that
he is a good Snowman. He knows
what people like and he gives it to
them. He has the comic sense that
tells him what will be pleasing to
The Washington herald., 1919-03-09

those who come to his table. It
has been said that he has as many
corners as Queen Anne cottage.
He has. And you never know just
which angle will be thrust forth
prominently. Usually, however.
he'll make you giggie as q first con-
sideration, and he'll not relax in
providing something to please your
eve and ear.
The new ''Hitchy Koo." due at the
National tonight. Is a series of
scenes with musical trimmings that
follow one another just as rapidly
as the stage hands can manipulate
them. In one instance their assist
ance is not required. A few jerks
at cords on the part of the actors
and florists shop is converted
into Western saloon, an excellent
bit of stage mechanics. Any at
tempt to describe the performance
in detail would be hopeless task.
Suffice it to say that besides Mr..
Hitchcock. who is at all times the
| dominating figure. it calls into
service a talented group of prin-
cipals and a chorus OF forty under
twenty" who, as q whole. succeed
in providing the largest sum total
of light entertainment that has
come this way under the direction
of the, popular Raymond Hitchcock.

Weber upon absolute realism than is
afforded by "A Midnight Romance"

feature of the bill at the Rialto
throughout this week. Here is a sub

the most completely satisfying pro-
ductions of the day. Its scenes are
myriad and each apparently repre-
sents a successful attempt 10 outdo
the one that has Immediately pre-
ceded. All because the only really
distinguished feminine director OF
photoplays has seen to It that the
cameramen have devoted their at

Dorothy's Goun DispZau

When Director Schertzinger CALL
I'd Miss Dorothy Dalton to begin
work on her new picture. "Extrav-
aEance." the current Offering at
L'oew's Palace, he announced that
The carly scenes of the picture
would consist of just one gown af-
ter another. And then Schertzing-
tr proceeded to make good.
In "EXtrayagance" Miss Dalton is
cast IN the role Of a young New

Mushroom wealth and position.
whose mission in life is to create
the impression Of extreme culture,
enormous fortune and luxury be-
yond the ordinary dreams. To
create this effect. the early scenes
OF the phOtopIay sent Miss Dalton
from one gown to another.
There were delicate, wonderful
morning gowns to wear. Then
came clusters of tea-gCt.ns and the
alter clothes and evening dresses
and as if that were not enough, the
director ordered set after set OF
jewels to be worn by the star un-

for by the story. The net result

Those Shore Beach Scenes

Blase Atlantic City, whose hab-
itues sit and yawn from / p. m.
to a. M, certainly found at least
one weekend anything but dull
curing the past season. From
boardwalk to beach. from beach to
hotek and from hotel to boardwalk
egain, Atlantic City followed the
Alice Brady Company, which had
gone to that fashionable seaside
resort to film several scenes of Miss
Brady's latest picture, THE World
to Live In"
The sight of motion picture

crowd OF the curious and Atlantic

forgot to yawn-Eome even forgot
their Sunday dinners, So absorbed

Then there were several scenes
taken on the boardwalk-and the

increasing. until it was necessary
to ask the aid of the constabulary,

rector Charles Maigne, who by the
way is a former Washington news
paper man, came to the conclusion
that everyone at the resort was
ambitious to break into pictures. so
persistent were they in getting in
front of the camera. Finally, after
several nerve-wracking hours. the
work was completed, and those
who view the picture at Crandalrs

Considerable effort had been made

BAKER IS CTIAGRINED.
Defends Regular Army Men From
 Bennett CIark's Attack.

Washington, May 9.-Secretary of War Baker took issue today with the statement made in St. Louis Tuesday night by Lieut. Col. Bennett Clark, son of former Speaker Champ Clark, to the effect that the National Guard association of the United States must work to smash the regular army. Col. Clark stated further that there was just about enough efficiency in the regular army to do garrison work and
New Britain herald., 1919-05-09

that he wanted efficiency kept and in- efficiency cleaned out.
 MT. Baker was chagrined at the statement of Lieut.-Col. Clark and said he had found nothing to warrant any such criticism of the regulars. He added that so far as he had been able to ascertain the regulars and the Na'- tional Guard always worked together in perfect harmony.
