"Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. HYDE"

Robert Louis Stcvensons powerful
story, DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" has
been translated to the screen as a
Paramount-Artcraft special produce
ton with John Barrymore, in the
leading role. The production opens
a weeks engagement at Moore's Gar
den Theater tomorrow.
The plot, as is we'll known, has as
' its central figure a young London
physician, DR.. Jekyll. whose tender
hcartedness is exceeded only by his
all-absorbing interest in his profess
sion and his scientific Investigations.
He is in love with innocent, beautiful
Millcent Carew. Her father, Sir
George Carew, is a famous man about
town. Or. Jekyll accompanies Sir
, George to a low music hall. From
this experience, Jekyll is led to ex-
pertinent with liquid that will sepe-
rate the good and evil in man into
two distinct bodies. He evolves such
= drug and the results of his admin
istcring 1t to himself fogm the plot
of book, play and photodrama, which
have become classics in their respec-
tive fields.
An excellent supporting company
appears with Mr.. Barrymore. Martha
Mansfield. renowned Ziegfeld Follies
beauty, plays opposite the star. She
is an actress of recognized ability.
Brandon Hurst, an English actor has
an excellent role, as also have CHARLES
Lane, jr.. J. Malcolm Dunn, Cecil Clev-
ely, Mia Naldi and George stevens.
The production is said to abound in
wonderful lighting and dual photoE-
raphy effects which greatly enhance
the intensely dramatic scenes.
4 special orChestration has been
arranged by Claude V. Burrows, direc-
TOR of the Garden orchestra, which is
in every way worthy of the magnifi-
cent production il accompanies.

II was rumored around the studio
that Jack refused to work until he
got seven bones a day instead OF the

a dogs life" he is reported to have
,confded to his colleagues. From

few bones laid aside for rainy days"
Even IL / am but a poor shepherd

time finding anyone TO double for me

After a thorough search by Direc-

studio force, Jack was found at his
old job herding sheep on large
ranch near Momet.
Make it ten bones a day, and I'll
come back-othcrwisc nothing doing
growled Jack.
We'll give you twenty a day, a
mahogany kennel and the choice of

SO Jack, with tail wagging, con-
scented and the picture was completed.

GERALDINE FARRAR
INHERITED HER ABILITY
Famous Star of Opera and Screen
Tells Of Ancestors Influence
on Her Own Life.

Two generations OF aspiring musi-
clans made Geraldine Farrar's great
career a possibility in the third gen
Grafton. Dennis Barnes, Geraldine
Farrar's grandfather, was a violinist
of natural talent. An Italian vendor
gave the boy musician a fine violin
and IL was his proudest possession.
When he grew to be an old man he
never went TO sleep without placing
the instrument beside him. Unques-
tionably he would have been a won
derful violinist IL his father had en-
couraged him or If there had been
sufficient money for him to so abroad
for lessons.
Inhcrits Instinct.
MY mother inherited n strong mus
ical instinct from him" says Gcral-
dine Farrar, and because her father
was himself thwarted in his artistic
career. he hoped to sec the fulfill
mcnt of his longing in his daughter.
In addition 10 being able TO read the
most difficult music at sight, my
mother had a beautiful soprano voice.
AT an early age she decided 10
go on the stage. She studied elocu-
ton and took vocal lessons and was
preparing TO go to New York when
my father. sydney Farrar, then an
embryo baseball star. came to our
home in Middlesex Falls, saw and
conquered.
My mother when expecting my ar
rival in the world. thought Contjn-
ually of the time when / would be
old enough for her to leave me with
a nurse in order that she could con-
tinue her musical study. She was
constantly at the piano studying
opera scores. and improvising little
bits of her own. for my mothers tall
ent was of a creative nature.
Mother Sacrifices Self.
Those who believe in parental in
fiuence can draw their own conclu-
sions as to how this affected me. By
the time my scales and finger eNer-
cises had begun, my mothers dreams
of her own world fame had been
transferred to my own little being.
For her personal sacrifice, can never
be sufficiently grateful"
During the summer months, before
the opening of the opera season, Ger
adine Farrar plays in Goldwyn Pic
lures. She has just completed
photoplay OF Spanish life, THE Wo-
man and the Puppet," which will be
shown at CrandalIs Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker Theatcrs. beginning
tomorrow afternoon.

IRISH SUPERSTITIOUS
KIRKWOOD ADMITS
Hero of THE Luck of the Irish"
Tells Reasons for Many
Queer Customs.
Are the Irish superstitious:

Well, one has TO admit that the
Irish arc human, says James Kirk
wood, who is seen as Peter GroEan,
hero in "The Luck Of the Irish" which
opens its second consecutive week at
Noore's Strand Theater tomorrow,
and that is a confession that they are
superstitious, for little investigation
shows that all human beings are
superstitious about one thing or an
other.
Most Irish superstitions have a re-
ligious origin or slant. For instance,
Friday is considered by the Irish TO
be an unlucky day. upon which no
important business, journey. or other
venture should be undertaken. Trace
back for the origin OF this belief in
Fridays bad luck and we find that
the reason is that Friday was the day
upon which our Lord was betrayed
and crucified. therefore day for
fasting and prayer and a particular
reason for steering clear of the fairies
and other malign influences.
"Thlrtccn" Superstition.
or like origin is the universal be.
lief that thirteenth guest at table is
unlucky. Judas Iscariot, the betraycr,
was the thirteenth at table at the last
supper OF tho Lord, and his evil fate
Is we'll known. Not alone the Irish,
but practically everybody on Garth re-
fuses to sit down with n company Of
twelve other persons.
Some of Irelands favorite charms
and rites are so very elaborate that
one wonders II anybody ever has the
time and patience TO carry them out.
For instance, favorite cure for
weakness is to drink water from a
river which forms the boundary Of
three farms or pieces OF property.
The water must be drunk for nine
Sunday mornings in succession. be-
fore the patient has eaten or spoken
to a soul. and the water must have
been dipped from tho river before
anybody crossed over that day.
After each dose nine Avcs and the
Crcdo must he repeated, And by the
middle Of the tenth week, II H. to Ne
hoped. the patient will be 20 far
recovered from his weakness that he
can hunt a Job!
