Harold Lloyd In snow or Never
Crandall's Metropolitan Theater
this week announces as its chief at
traction Harold Lloyd's most pre-
tentious comedy, Now or Never"
In this multiple-reel subject the
screens most original comedian far
surpasses any of his previous bril-
liant performances. A complement
airy feature will be furnished by
Will Rogers, in Goldwyn's screen
version of Irwin S. Cobb's story,
Boys Will Be Boys"
In Now or Never" Harold Lloyd
again assumes the role of THE
Boy" and Mildred Davis that of The
Girl" The action grows out of the
youths childhood promise to return
for his betrothed on her eighteenth
birthday. When he remembers this
adolescent promise. there is scant
time to reach the home town where
the prospective bride waits. From
the necessity of a mad dash for
home by means Of all sorts of fast
moving conveyances springs the
humor in which the comedy
abounds.

Filming Venice from the topmost
part of the loggietta OF the clsssle
Camnanile of St. Marks was the
unioue experience OF Harley hnoles!
in the making of Carnival ms

released nv United Artists. Incl
d.nt.lly. it marked the first time
,hat . motion picture camera has
been permitted within the precincts
OF the famous medieval tower. This
production will be the feature
Loew's Palace for the full week oe-
ginning this afternoon.
The -Campanile, which towers
above ST. Marks Square, is over l.
600 years I'D. and is one OF the
sights of Venice.
II was built originally as sort OF
lighthouse and lookout tower COM
bined. Huge iron baskets were at
tached to the corners of the tower
and oiled at night with oi-soaked
material, so that when lighted they
could be seen from the sea to guide
the Venetian ships safely into the
harbor.
They were also used as lookout
towers in those old times to tell or
the movements OF alien fleets ana
the approach of the enemy.
Venice. which is situated at the
head of the Adriatic, is made up OF
more than 100 little nat islands OF
mud or silt deposited by the Pc and
other rive,s so hat the building OF
a tower in those days was quite
feat of engineering. Long piles were
driven into the marshy bottom and
on these the noted tower called the
Campanile, stands, as does. in fact,
the whole city.
Only a few years ago the tower
fell, but was rebuilt with the same
old ma erials. Consequently. when

John Cumberland has literally
crawled out from under the bed TO
make his first appearance since he
became a featured New York player
in the principal role in THE Scarlet
Man." the new comedy by William
LIE Baron, which Charles Dillingham;
will present at the National Theater
for e week beginning tomorrow
night
Cumberland began life as book
keeper in a New York wholesale
concern. 1t was the custom of the
concern to make road statesmen OUT
of its employees, but Cumberland
happened to be a good bookkeeper,
and consequently he was kept at the
books. Becoming dissatisfied. he
answered an advertisement in a tho
atrical paper and secured an engage
ment of twenty-five weeks on the
road" He was able to collect two
weeks salary during the six months.
He returned home, but in a few
months he learned that Richaro
Mansfield wanted actors for small
parts in "Cyrano de Bergerac." He
applied and was taken.
Cumberland played small parts in
repertoire with Mansfield for sew
eral seasons, and even tried his hand
at melodrama. Finally he secured a
New York engagement in a piece
called Girls and he has been a
New York actor ever since. playing
in New York steadily for the past
twelve seasons.
1t was not until the bedroom"
farce came into being that Cumber-
land reached mis- greatest fame. His
first big Fart was in "Twin Beds"
the first success among the bedroom
tarces. Then followed Fair and

Scope of Motion Picture
Undeveloped, Says Actor
When Scenic Grasp of Camera Is Understood,
Movies VIII be Greatest Entertainment.

when the absolutely unlimited
scope OF the camera is fully sppre-
ciated, motion pictures will become
the greatest entertainment that has
ever been offered to earth jewellers"
is the opinion of Carter DeHaven,
who is now co-starring In . series
OF comedies for distribution by As
ISOLATED First National Pictures.
The first rule that must be OBJ
served in the writing of a stage
play is to limit the action to as few
places as possible" says Mr.. De-
Haven. IF more than FIVE different
places are absolutely essential filler
scenes must be injected TO permit
the changing of sets on the full
stage for i've acts is regarded as
the limit for a play on the stage.
Acoustics further limit the action
and the result is that much that
occurs to the author must be left
out or just suggested by a speech.
In motion pictures, however,
there is no limit to the scenes nor
to the action. Scenes miles apart.
can be run one after the other in
the motion picture play. Nothing
has to be left out and the result
is that the screen offers the best
sort of medium of the presentation
of many plots that have not yet
been regarded as feasible for enter
tainment because OF the limitations
of 'speakie' stage"
In illustrating concretely the ad-
vantages offered by the screen, Mr..
DeHaven offered The Girl in the
Taxi" the latest production starring
himself and his wife for distriou-
ton by First National. which will
be presented for the first time To-
cally as chief feature of the bill at
Crandalrs Knickerbocker theater on
