doing this, for this woman knows
everything even what you are think
ing.
"You are sweet" she announced to
our intense relief. "You have lovely
eyes and sweet mouth and" here
she hes'tated, "a nice profile" We
wondered If she was going to say a
nice nose, for in that case we should
pave known that the system was not
infallible Our nose is our sore point
and we told Miss Keller so.
but you have eyes and ears, and
what is nose?" she said lightly.
MAY we have a picture of you-a
beautiful one?" we asked.
"That is not possible, for / am not
beautiful. You see, am not like
other motion picture stars"
No. we answered emphatically,
you are decidedly not like great
many of them. You differ radically!
And you ought to make every one of
us ordinary human beings ashamed Of
ourselves. We acknowledge that we
are, because we're not happy like you
and because when we are with you we
feel as though we had just the brains
of a mouse"
1--WE all have the same brains. It
takes courage and work and faith and
hope" said Miss Keller, seriously. And
then, because we knew that we should
either burst out crying or throw our
arms around Miss Keller and kiss her
and we didn't want 10 do either be-
fore so many strange people--we
changed the subject and said, "You
have the most beautiful slippers we
ever have SEEN"
They were gold and silver brocaded
in large flowers, and the buckles were
rhinestone plaques that fairly dazzied
/ the eyes.
"They are Los Angeles slippers and
present to me. am glad you like
them, for think they are beautiful"
u think they are, too," said one of
the men from the tea table, "and I
never before noticed what dear little
feet Miss Keller has"
Miss Sullivan spelled this into her
hand like a flash and she flashed back.
Then you are not so observing as the
rest Of your sex. I suppose you are
always looking at the roses" and then
followed some rapidfre repartee about
the roses Of California which we did
not understand.
Il will tell you when you take tea
with me. 1t is joke we have ON DR..
Miller" said Miss Keller, gayly.
And then, because we had to, we left
this wonderful woman and she kissed
US goodby, and the last thing we
heard when we went out Of the door
was her happy laughter. And we en-
We'd her.

Great Chances abroad,
Saws X. 4. Rowland

Glowing accounts Of the opportuni-
ties awaiting American motion pict-
ure producers in Great Britain, France
and other European countries were
brought back by Richard A. Rowland,
president of the Metro Pictures Corpo-
ration, when he returned yesterday
after a ten weeks survey Of the for
eign field.
That the proposed league Of nations
should prove a great boon to the mo-
ton picture industry, that Europe is
hungry for American photo dramatic
productions, that there is dearth of
picture theatres abroad, especially in
France, and that Europe offers most
fruitful field for the American picture
producers enterprise were some of
Mr.. Rowland's observations.
The Metro president returned with
the manuscripts of five spectacular
Drury Lane melodramas which will be
converted to the screen and produced
by Screen Classics. These Drury Lane
plays are "The Best of Luck" "rhe
Hope" "Hearts Are Trumps," "The
Great Millionaire" and "The Marriage
of Mayfair" Before he left the Brit
ish metropolis Mr.. Rowland also ne
gotiated for the purchase Of sixth Of
these stupendous spectacle dramas

S. L. X. Discusses 'sThe
Right to HdpDiness'

"Oh, II. u, it seems good to get
back to the production end of it again!
Yes, I've had long rest and I've need
ed it, but I've got some great ideas up
my sleeve for this picture"
"Well, S. L. R., we believe you, for
you always did have great ideas up
your sleeve, and sometimes you would
let a few of them slip down and give
the movie world a jolt. And then
some one would try to initiate them
and you would sit back and laugh up
that self-same sleeve"
Sam Rothapfel was distinctly pleased,
although we were only telling the
truth. He and we were discussing the
production of "The Right to Happi-
ness" Universal picture which Is
said to be one of the biggest things
that ever has been put on the screen;
and Mr.. Rothapfel is putting it on.
1t is to go to the Park Theatre next
Saturday, and after what S. L. r.
told us Of the music and the settings
we are all on the qui vive.
Dorothy Phillips plays dual role
in this picture, which is another thing
in its favor, for we have pleasant rec
objections of the one picture in which
we saw Miss Phillips similarly en-
ployed.
The initial action OF the piece shows
an American manufacturer residing in
Russia prior to the outbreak of the
great war. His wife dies suddenly
in the foreign land and he by necessity
is forced to remain in Russia on bust
ness and with twin girl babies to care
for. These grow up and are Dorothy
Phillips. But in the mean time he is
called away to another Russian city
and his home is sacked and burned by
Cossacks during a pogrom. Returning,
the American finds one child and is
led to believe that the other has per-
ished in the flames.
However, the child has been taken
up by fleeing peasants and reared in
this atmosphere. She eventually be-
comes a tool of the radicals who grip
Russia after that nations collapse dur
ing the war. Delegated to spread
"Red" propaganda here, the girl comes
to the United States and works with
others in the unwholesome cause.

T'oo Stage Successes
For GOldscy1, Pictures

Two notable stage successes of last
season have been secured by Goldwyn.
"The Woman in Room 10" and "Roads
of Destiny" both Al Woods produc-
tlons, will be screened, with Pauline
frederick in the star roles. The Sc
lection OF these themes is the first i'm
portant development following upon
the recent amalgamation of the inter
ests OF the Shuberts, Selwyns and Mr..
Woods with Goldwyn. Roads of Des-
tiny was written by Charming Pol
lock. 1t was suggested by the famous
story of the same name from the pen
of O.. Henry. Florence Reed was
starred in the play. "The Woman in
Room 10" was happy composite from
the imaginations Of Percival Wilde,
Max MARGIN and Samuel Shipman.
