Possibly no other player in all
filmdom was so ideally suited az
House Peters for the character OF
John Culbertsan in J. Parker Read,
Jr.'s adaptation of Stewart Edward
Whites novel. 1.-THE Leopard Woman"

House Peters spent many years on
the dark continent. His experiences
were both colorful and thrilling.
Starting out as the star at the head
of =. his own dramatic company the
popular actor wound up in the Kim
berleY diamond mine region, where
he prospected for precious gems.
Peters is the typical soldier of for
tune. His role in THE Leopard
Woman" could not have been more
to his liking if it had been specifi-
cally written for him. Consequently
he gives in "The Leopard Woman
one of the most capable performances
of his long and successful career.

Dorothy Gsh Is Home Body;
Xearns for Mother and Sste,

The greatest -home-body" in the
aim world is lively little Dorothy
Gish. She has lived all her life with
her mother and her elder and famous
sister. Lillian. and simply will not
stand being separated from them.
They tried going II apart in 1917.
Mrs. Gish and Lillian went abroad
and Dorothy stayed behind. But, on
the next boat Dorothy came tumblipg
after.
Then, some time later, Dorothy
came to New York alone from Cali
fornia to make a series of personal
appearances" The further East the
train speeded, the more home-sick she
became. She spent just two days In
New York. then took the fastest train
she could find headed West.
AS soon as II was settled that the
Gishes were to make their abode per-
manently in the East, they started
looking for a house near the Griffith
studio at Mamaroneck. about twenty
miles out of New York. A large old
fashioned country home, with gravel
ed drives, rose hedges and flower beds,
was selected.
So Dorothy, who had faced being
transplanted from California to New
York with fear and trembling, is very
happy now.
Miss Gish Is the queen OF the
kitchen out at the big country house,
where she makes her home with her
mother and sister. Lillian. She is an
expert cook. This fact has long been
known at the Gish house, but IL re-
manned for her new picture, Little
Miss Rebellion" at Loew's Palace to-
morrow. TO disclose IL to the studio
stan which assists her in making the
vivacIous screen comedies for which
she Is famous.
In one scene in this picture, Miss
Gish Is supposed to be browning flap
jacks in the window OF a quick-lunch
restaurant Tho star insisted that tho
batter used be the real thing and
mixed II herself. Then while the
camera clicked she made flapJacks
and had n steamIng plateful of them
ready when the scene was completed.
Calling a halt in the movie making,
she had the plato passed among the
studio stan. Now they are insisting
that II Dorothy Gish ever cares 10

A fve-year-old boy was speaking.

A five-year-old boy was speaking.
This is my second trip to Florida,
he said. 81 like IL so much that

The child was Lawrence Johnston,
who can boast of having sat in the
laps of our most prominent motion

son and Mae Murray. Lawrence is
a big favorite at the Famous Players
studio in New York.
Once he has played in a picture

Cause of Finer Pictures Has
Great Boost in mid Channel

A pronounced victory for the cause
: OF finer pictures is scored in the pre-
lscntation of Sir Arthur Wing Phero's
greatest drama of married life. Its
world-famous title is "Mid-Channel,"
which made a sensational success
J during its run on Broadway, with
, Ethel Barrymore in the role now
played by Clara Kimball Young.
The achievement in the picturiza :
tion of this dramatic masterpiece. can
best be appreciated when it is recall
J cd that even before mid -Channef'
/ was presented on the speaking stage,
I 1t aroused considerable interest
spoken message.
In the screen adaptation of this
brilliant stage-play, "Mid-Channer'
gains infinitely in it's power, for the
screen naturally brings scenic effects
and local color in support of the ac-
tion which are impossible to secure on
the stage.
The magnificence of the outdoor set
rtirgs the gay lawn parties and steam
boat scenes. the typical Partisan and
English atmosphere that is inter-
woven skillfully in the course'of the
movement of the plot-all the tech
meal dICtSSuTlcS diS pIouSht "
bear to heighten the force of the play,
make the perturbation of Midlothian
ner' by all odds superior to any stage
presentation-andt this in spite OF the
distinguished appearance of Miss
barrymore in the Broadway run of
the play.
There is another advantage OF the
picture over the play. Since Mid
Channel opened on the stage. much
has heen learned about dramatic
technique, which has been put to ex-
ceilent use on the screen. The high
spots of 'Mid-Channer have been
emphasized with vivid effect, and the
theme in general has been so handled
rs to apply forcibly to modern life.
"Mid-Channel," to be given it's
world premiere at Crandalrs Metro
politan and Knickerbocker theaters
tomorrow, will undoubtedly go on
record as one of the greatest achieve
ments of the modern photodrama, and
the truth of its message will be i'm
