Then came the flying Yank. There

The American plane scared high ut

GRIFFITH ADDITION
Photography, Scenario, Enaetmen Mt
Plus Atmosphere

D. W. Griffith, creator of "The Birth
of a Nation," Intolerance" and
Hearts of the World" has, perhaps,
his greatest triumph in Broken Bios
soms,' an adaptation of London
Chinatown tale. The central figure is
girl brutally treated by her supposed
father, prize fighter. There is a
young Chinaman-an idealist-and it is
his kindness to her that is the ultimate
cause of tragedy. Scenes of beauty,
exceptional photoplay and effective
enactment combine to give the produc-
tion its quality. In addition, there is
a synchronized musical score that is in
terpreted by four "orchestras," includ
ing symphonic body, the Russian
Balalaika band, a Chinese band and a
string quartet. The theatre has an
oriental aspect, with softly toned lights
and with arbors bearing blossoming
plants. The attendants are arrayed in
gorgeous Celestial clothes, and as a
preparation for the main story there
is prologue that suggests the spirit in
which the photoplay should be taken.

The stage has many representatives
of social prominence. The Misses
Campbell, who come to Keith's The

from Washington, d. c., where these
two girls from the time Of their debut
have been conspicuous figures in So
cial life. 1t became necessary for them
to discover some pleasant and dignifed
mears of replenishing their means,
greatly reduced by the war.
Vaudeville was decided upon. One
corner of their music room at home was
depicetd upon the stays and in this
scene the Misses Campbell portray
what they call "At Home" Their
natural ability and the atmosphere Of
refinement have blossomed into fine
act under the sunshine of public ap-
proval. With the desire to supply
themselves with exclusive numbers, they
undertook the difficult task of writing
their own songs and several of their
songs have become popular.

HE HAS NIMBLE HEELS
Lew sloden, Dancer, Was In Air
Service

Service
Lost in a fog while flying high over
the sea on patrol duty off the North
Sea coast of England; dropping into the
sea with his machine out of control,
and then to have his airplane sink, was
the experience undergone by Lew Slo-
den during the war: That the graceful
ballroom dancer is now living to ap-
pear in "Oh, Uncle" at the Shubert
is due to the fact that mine sweeper
sighted him as he fell and the crew
of the vessels motor launch reached
him in time to effect his rescue.
After his discharge from the air serv-
ice Sloden went to the Italian front,
where he drove an ambulance for two
years. He was there during the retreat
from Caporetto. He left the service and
was engaged to dance with Mrs. Vernon
Castle in 'sWatch Your Step," and
later appeared in pictures and in stock
in England. He is the inventor of the
"slow fox trot" and was the first tc
dance the tango in Paris.
