HAPPY DOUBLE WEDDING
AT HOME OF MRS. GILBERT
After Ceremonies the Two Couples are
Surprised by Party of
Changers

The home of Mrs. Anna Gilbert was
the scene of pretty double wedding
last Thursday when Mrs. Lizzie Ell
bert was married to James Burke, and
Miss Mary Ebert was married to Will
Reed. Only the immediate relatives
were in attendance and the newly
weds had planned to slip off to Spo-
kane on the afternoon train before
anyone knew what was up, but thru
some mysterious mischance, all the
clocks and watches in the house were
about an hour slow, and they missed
the train.
Mrs. Gilbert entertained them at a
wedding supper to which Rev. C. L.
Burris and his mother were invited.
As they sat quietly visiting after sup
per, suddenly about IS grangers des-
cended upon them with shotguns, re-
vovers, cow bells and tin cans and pro-
ceeded to extract sweet strains of mel
ody from their hurriedly improvised
musical instruments. The guests of
honor were so entranced by the mu-
sic that they forgot to invite their WIS.,

In the drunk" scene in front Of the
refreshment tent Mr.. Bonville remem-

the whole plot, he does it so humor-
ously that the secrets in his keeping
remain safe until they are supposed
to come out.
Mr.. Bonville recalls difficulties back
stage in the original production Of
"Florodora" because the technical ap-
pliances now in use had not yet been
introduced. He was stage manager
after Willie Edouin and Cyril Scott
had held the position. In fact, so
marked was his talent for stage di-
rection that he received many offers
for his services as a stage director
after the completion Of the run.

James A. Herman was once playing
Tweedlepunch. One night he came into
the dressing room which he and Bon
Vile shared in the New York Theater.
He had been out and came back with
him to go on and tho curtain call was
only half hour away. Kiernan's un-

saved the day. The director had OBJ
served that these animals were much
like sheep in their tendency to dock
together. One Of the camels in the
cast was the mother of young camel.
This was the circumstance that sug-
gested the calling in Of nature. The
baby camel was held captive near the
camera and it's mother taken, with the
other camels, some thousand yards
away. At the desired moment the

was the camel race secured.
Another experience with these same
was useless to coach them. The effect

If the picture was that the camel should
turn his eye and wink at Priscilla Dean.
10 person Of average intelligence the
mere suggestion of a wink in Miss
Deans direction should be sufficient,
but the camel was obdurate; he could
be induced to turn his eye, perhaps,
but he would quite forget the wink, or
ne might succeed with the wink, but
1t would be in entirely the wrong di-
rection. After vain coaching for nearly
three days, one morning the camel be-
came inspired and encompassed both
the proper turn Of the eye and the
wink at the same time. There you
have, in Browning's opinion, perfect
illustration Of tho nature of the beast.
Of another scene the Universal di-
rector says with pride that only two
men were injured in taking it. It is
one Of the big scenes in the picture,
where combat between horsemcn and
men on foot in the narrow streets Of
the town is shown.
The horsemen were equipped with
sahers," explained Browning, "while the
men on foot had the old Krag-Jorgen-

along the Canadian border looking for
suitable location, and finally selected
Port Henry, where some pictures had
been made before. An advance force
built the town called Gold City in the

"When the company reached Port
Henry we found waiting for US a large

the people living there were exactly
the types that needed to give atmos-

room scene, in which the extras were
told to get three of the characters in
the picture, they followed out their
orders with a high degree of realism
that would have been difficult for a
trained actor to attain; some of those
in my company bear scars to testify
to this realism. In the dance hall, too,

tho Casino Theater during
tho first four weeks Of it's season in
New York. People came to the thea
ter and looked at the actors with sober
faces as If to ask, "What are you do
ing on the stage?" All the humor in
the play was English and was hardly
understood here. Willie Edouin, an
excellent English actor, who made a
very humorous Tweedlepunch, had
been away from America so long that
ne had forgotten what Americans ex-
pccted. The principals in the company
experimental nightly. put in their
own business and humor, the play
started to pick up speed, people came
in, laughed, and "Florodcra" was on
the road to success.
Mace Bonville, who played Leandro
IN the first company and who will play
the same part in the coming revival
at the Century on April s, was remi-
niscing. For one thousand consecu-
tive performances he played In the
musical comedy, during this time TAX
ing the part Of Tweedlepunch for about
six weeks.
"The only thing that saved 'Floro-
dora in the beginning was the SEX
tet.. From my place on the stage
could see men come in about the time
when the sextet was to go on, take
seats up front, stay until the sex
tet had appeared, and than go out
again. They would watch the sextet
intently and point out the various girls
to their friends.
During the run at the Casino the
back doorman made enough money in
tips from men who sent notes to the
sextet girls ta buy house on Long
Island. At the beginning of the run
the audiences were made up mainly of
sort of leg show theater and the
women stayed away. But they were
soon attracted by the costumes worn by
the sextet girls. This was really tho
beginning of the. show girl. The orig
inal sextet was hardly on for more
than one night week, but the under
studies were as good as the absent
ones Fo~ private entertainments the

Some of the things Willie Edouin
put in to give "Florodora" the comedy
that it lacked were the knife and pho

"Have this to cement our friendship"
Tweedlepunch would say, Offering a
knife.
The &nife would not be accepted.
"Oh! You're supcrstitious," he would
remark.
"No, it isn't that"

he persisted.

New-York tribune., 1920-03-21

Tod Browning, director for Univer-
sal, who directed "Ths Virgin Of Stam-
boul," in which Priscilla Dean is
starred, was unwilling to trust the
, negative Of the picture in the hands Of
an ordinary messenger, and brought 1t
East himself. Incidentally, the trip
afforded Browning an opportunity for
brief vacation after eighteen weeks
Of work on this picture. Even on this
semi-vacation he was unwilling to
avoid work. FOR he devised and staged a
prologue to the picture for its first
showing at the Broadway Theater.
Eighteen weeks were spent on the
picture because Of tho enormous
amount Of time necessary to obtain
some Of the light effects. In the
beginning there was only the story,
written by H. H. Van Loan, which
gave the director three appeal
ing characters and romantic locale.
The plot, according to Browning, is
melodrama-that you can believe.
These three characters and the minor
ones were made to live their lives
against the Oriental background
"In the first place." said the director,
"it was necessary to get the effect of
reality. For that, practically every set
that we used had to be built. The stuff
couldn't be bought and it couldn't be
hired, so we built it. Before that be-
gan stepped myself in books about
Turkey until couldn't be told from a
real Turk. When we began to build
the sets ! watched the real Turks in
our cast, and they taught me what was
realistic and what was not. By the
time we had finished our workshop
looked like Santa Claus's warehouse
just before he starts on his annual
round of distribution.
"Ry the way, in our whole cast, out
side of the principals, don't suppose
that we had twenty-five Americans
The extras were Armenians or Turks,
most Of whom had been born in Tur-
key. They were shy on makeup, per-
haps, but they were long on atmos-
phere."

Of Stamboul" Is q camel race, and this
unique feature was obtained through
an unusual subtcrfuge. After working
with cainels for as long as he has,
