CLYDE FILLMORE PLAYS
FIRST BIG SCREEN ROLE
Will Be Seen Supporting Ethel
Clayton at Palace Theater
Tnu,nrrnu

Clyde Fillmore plays his first big
screen role under his contract with
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation
as leading man in support of Ethel
Clayton in her latest picture. The
Ladder OF Lies" which will be shown
at Eoew's Palace tomorrow. ~
For twenty-five consecutive weeks
Mr.. Fillmore played the leading role
in the stage production OF "Civilian
Clothes" at the Morosco Theater in
Los Angeles and his work won the
CONNIE ndation of all who witnessed
the play. The picture is said to con-
tain the real heart touch, and ends
with powerful climax, in which
romance is the supreme factor.
Tom Forman directed the picture
his first Paramount Aircraft. In the
cast are Jane Acker,
Irving Cummings, Richard Sterling
and Ruth Ashby. Edith Kennedy
adapted the story from the original
by Harold Vickers. which appeared in
"Snappy Stories" magazine.
Beauty of settings, photography
and lightings are distinct features of
THE Ladder of Lies" Added to
these is the unrivalled beauty of Miss
Clayton, who stars in the production.
The skill of William Marshall, the
camera artist, was one of the most
important factors of this attainment.
Mr.. Marshall is recognized as lead
er in the field of camera work and
his painstaking efforts always result
in a picture that II photographically
above the average.

ALMOST CLASSIC BEAUTY
MISS THURMAN'S OWN

Mary Thurman. The name spells
pulchritude. In the Mack Scnnett
comedy days of this charming actress
she received innumerablc tributes for
her beauty and ability. but until now
she had really never had the oppor-
tunity to display her prowess as
dramatic actress.
But she achieves wonderful results
in her simple bingham gown as
maiden Of the desert country, sweet
and demure, loving and faithful.
This is William S. Harts latest star
ring vehicle. sand" a Paramount
Aircraft picture, directed by Lambert
Hillyer. which will be seen at Loew's
Columbia tomorrow.
Mr.. Hart has the role of Dan hur-
rie, railroadng cowpuncher. lie
breaks up a gang of bandits and wins
his lady love, despite dire handicaps.
And the thrills are plentiful, even
as love tempers the tragic moments
and holds the interest of the audi
enee-since all the world loves
lover
Miss Thurman has an exquisite pro-
file. In some of the closeup views
she evidences the possession OF almost
classical beauty. She acts with re-
straint and feeling, another evidence
that comedy training far from being
a handicap is good school for the
serious drama.
a sense of humor is a wonderful
thing and II serves to modify the cf-
forts OF the dramatic actor or actress
who possesses II.

bit OF roping a the station in Santa

and cried: Lets make up a little

''BLINKY BEN" IS NOW
AMUSING SCREEN FANS

The subtitles that add their quota
of fun to the antics of Harold Lloyd
in the two-reel comedies produced and
directed by Hal L. Roach. for Pathe.
are written by Harley NJ. Walker, one
of the most prominent newspaper hu-
morists on the Pacific coast.
Walker recently resigned from the
San Francisco Examiner. He was
the creator of "Blinky Ben" a kindly.
philosophical. humorous character
that was a feature of the sporting
page of the Examiner for fifteen
years.
"Blinky Ben" was a delightfully."- hu-
man old scout. who made women
pause at the sporting page in their
search for bargain sale advertise
ments, instead of passing it by un-
noticed.
In conjunction with Lloyd and
Roach, Walker also assists in building
the plots for the Lloyd comedies and
thinking up>funny business. He'is SO
enamored of his new job that he de-
clares newspaper work could never
again tempt him.
High and Dizzy" the newest Har-
old Lloyd mirthquake, is said to equal
this famous laugh-maker's greatest
picture. 1t will be seen for the first
time in Washington at Crandalls
Metropolitan and Knickerbocker
theaters tomorrow.

Worlds Sweetheart"
Is Mary Pickford,
Says London Times.

Mary Pickford is having a great
personal triumph in England, where
she Is even more popular than in
this country.
According to the London Times,
"evera nice boy it is said, falls in
love, sooner or later, with Mary
Queen of Scots. 1t is not less cred
IDLY stated that every man with a
sixpence to spend on his amnse-
ment falls in love. sooner or later,
with Miss Mary Pickford-and for
the same reason.
Miss Pickford has been called the
sweetheart OF the world the appeal
which her acting makes is always
to the sense OF chivalry which, in
however sentimental form, is
characteristic of the English tenn
permanent In this sense she is
truly an ambassadress of our race.
Thus our welcome, while 1t ex-
presses the new and vast influence
OF the film, is no mere gratitude for
pleasure afforded: ii is rather the
recognition of touch tending to
make the whole English-speaking
world kin. Centuries were necessary
to raise Queen Mary to her pinnacle
of devotion; by the alchemy of a
machine centuries have been short
ened into days and nights.
THUS we would all be Mary's'
comforters and defenders in her
hours of peril. In that emprise the
gentlemen OF the world, however
humble. stand as Of old time. side by
side and shoulder to shoulder"
Another bit of evidence that
Americans are very much persona
grata on the English stage in per-
son or on film.
