The story which was prepared by
Joseph Henaberry, Mr.. Fairbanks di-
rector, with the assistance of Elton
Banks, was worked over for eight
weeks. It deals with the adventures
of q young New Yorker who lives on
excitement. His unquenchable thirst
for new thrills, leads him across two
continents and the settings necessary
for the portrayal of the story have
cost a tidy fortune.
A Mexican village was built in the
hills surrounding the Fairbanks
studios in Hollywood. In another
place a complete French town was
constructed and in another section of
the studio a New York tenement street
was erected. A French railway line

TWO FEATURES
At THE STRAND
William Russell the Star In
Mhere the West Begins

Today and tomorrow the manage
ment Of the Strand theatre offers a
distinct novelty in the way of pic
tnre entertainments in the fastest VIII
liam Russell Production entitled
Wher h West Begins" 1t is not an
ordinary strenuous picture, by far. 1t
is different, and 1t carries a moral:
Life is Just What You Make It."
Staged under the careful direction
of Henry King, it isa typical Russell
story, with a stirring climax that
brings the hero sharply to the front.
Mystery, Adventure and Romance are
the strong elements IN the theme and
the setting varies from New York's
Great White Way to the uplands and
prairies of the West.
Among Mr.. Russel1's support are
Eileen Percy, j. Cullen Lands, Carl
Stockdale, Frederick Vroom and AL.
fred Ferguson, all carefully selected
performers. The story is from the
pen of Stephen Fox, well-known seem
ario writer, who has provided the star
with many opportunities; and, in this
picture the things he doesn't do, are
not worthwhile mentioning.

DOROTHY G|SH
THE CRESCENT
Big Screen FdVOriie and Star Of
Poppy Polly"

Dorothy Gish who p at the
Crescent theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday has a kick, and it's a strong
one. h star is exactly in the bat
Ting mood that carried her so success
fully through Battling Jane" and
THE Hope Chest" and she doesn't
propose to declare an armistice until
something definite is done to appease
her.
Whatshe is kicking about Is the in
Rterviews with her which have been
published in the magazines and news
papers. They're all IN slang. To read
them, Miss Gish says one would get
the impression thar the English Ian
guage was as unfamiliar TO her as
Sanscrit, n as difficult of mastering.
And as she speaks perfectly good Eng.
lish, and has a high regard for that
language, she is naturally angry.
When Miss Gish created the role of
the Little Disturber in Hearts of the
World" the general idea was that she
was a ~vtvacious, tux Impairment
who had a distinct and devil
ish temper of her own and did not
hesitate to show it at any time the.
spirit moved her.
In Battling Jane" and THE Hope
Chest h had roles of similar char
acter, because 1t was in parts OF that
description that the people liked to
see her, and that h excelled in Great
ing.
Consequently, when interviewers
came around, 1t was only natural to
clothe her utterances in the English
which would be spoken by a character
of the sort she depicted.
Il like to have stories published
about myself" said Miss Gish but
l hate to have the impression get
around that 1 am an uncultivated

able to express my thoughts with ex-
actitude and clarity. Most people re-
quire ten sentences to state a simple
fact, simply because they aren't fam
iliar enough with the language to
use the exact word.
Whatever may be your attitude to-
ward slang, whether considered phil
ologicaIly or from the standpoint of
poetic figurativeness, you nus admit
that it doesn't always serve as a me-
dunn of expression, and that a vocab-
ulary made up entirely of popular
idioms Is bound from its very nature
to give little scope to the individuals
potential intellectual activity.
"Of course there Is much to be said
for slang as a means of giving pictur-
esque expression to otherwise bromid-
ic ideas. Most of our slang Is in an
exact sense poetical-that is, figura-
tive. A poets gift consists in his abil-
ity to associate images in a striking

is a splendid metaphor. The conn
parison of the head of q stupid person
to one of the hardest substances
known Is an admirable example of
