MURRETTE.

The motion. pictures have already
done wonders in bringing to the public
their favorite topics and pastimes at
all seasons, but IT remained for Mack
Sennett to give to the football fans
their dearly beloved game in mid
summer, when the far-off late fall
games were not even being planned.
In Married Life Sennett's new five
reel supercomedy at the Murrette
Friday and Saturday, the opening Incl
dent is one of the most stirring grid
iron scrimmages that has ever been
filmed. Ben T>urpin as the stalwar
hero, Rodney st. Clair, in his strug-
giles to carry the pigskin through
opposition lines Of giant players,
furnishes one OF the most realistic re-
productions the screen has ever
offered-and his gallant efforts on be-
half Of the home team end with his
being sent to the hospital for repairs
which, you can all see in Married
Life
MURRETTE.
In constructing the scenes for THE
Notorious Miss Lisle," the latest First
National Attraction in which Rather
inc Macdonald has been starred. Art
Director Menasco was doubtful about
the architecture Of certain scenes de-
picting a Breton village in which
Katherine Macdonald as Gaelor Lisle,
who left in an effort to leave behind
her associations with an unpleasant
scandal, takes refuge.
Fortunately, Las Angeles is a cos
mopolitan city, and after several ad-
vertisements were placed in the local
papers, was finally able to secure M.
Adolfe Merceline, who is a descendant
of an old family of Breton Architects,
and who knows the character of the
dwellings perfectly. l take pride in
saying that the scenes constructed for
This production are beyond the criti-
cism of even a native Frenchman.
This picture may be seen at the
Murrette Theatre commencing Sun

cd with 500 pieces offi ancient gold

and 200 yards of heavy silver cloth
were made up into costumes for Sa-
lome's wardrobe.
During various scenes of the play,
Miss Bara wears twenty different
head-pieces The Dance OF the Seven
Wells required thirty-fve yards Of vari-
colored crepe.
In addition to her gowns. the
Scriptural siren wore fortune in
Jewels, laces and fine embroidery. So
