mark that has chung to him ever since.
1t was in 1914 that "The Great Lover"
was produced. 1t served Ditrichstein
for three seasons. Recently it was put
on the screen.
"The Judge Of zalamea" was char
acterization which ranks with the best
Ditrichstein ever presented, but un-
fortunately the play was not Of the
sort that appealed to the tastes of
playgoers and the play was taken off
to be succeeded by THE King" in
which he maintained his fame as "the
great lover of the stage" "The Mat
inee Hero" in 1918, and 1.-THE MARQUIS
de Priola," in 1919, were two other
successes with which he made a tour
of the larger cities after their New
York presentation.
Quitting the lighter vein of comedy
temporarily, Dtrichstein produced "The
Purple Mask" a romantic melodrama
in which "the great lover" became the
great hero. A long run in New York
was followed by record breaking en-
gagements in Boston, Chicago and
Philadelphia. 1t was only a couple of
months ago that he closed "The Pur-
pie Mask" to allow production of his
latest piece "Toto." In this new play
he is again the lover. AS the leader
of the gay set in Paris he gives to the
role of Antoine de Tillois, nicknamed
"Ioto," the sparkle and polish which
have earned for him his high place
in the theatrical world.

Heroes in musical comedy often ap-
pear so stiff, except when they dance,
and so stodgy, except when they sing,
that audiences accept them, as certain
Shakespearian leading men, simply for
the heroine's sake. In several of the
newer musical plays, the heroes have
had sufficient charm, youth, good
looks and ease to win favor for their
own sake. "Honeydew," MARY"
"Sally" and Lady Billy" have all been
blessed with herman heroes, and the
story behind at least one of these
young men-Boyd Marshall, Of "Lady
Blly"-reveals the stuff of which the
new musical comedy hero is made.
Marshall is from Ohio--yes. one of
the real Ohio Marshalls, who are al
ways lawyers first and mayors, COVER
nors, senators and presidents
afterwards. Boyd Marshall followed
the family precedent and after his
graduation from the University of
Michigan, he read law in the Office of
his brother, then Attorney General Of
Ohio. "At that time," confesses our
hero blandly, 81 was dead set on be-
coming professor of classical Ian
guages. The law bored me stiff. So
had a convenient breakdown. Yes,
broke down SO effectively that the
family commanded complete rest.
"But rest was even duller than legal
routine" relates Marshall. Finally,
I was permitted to study music as a
not too strenuous mental activity. l
entered the Michigan Conservatory of
Music in Detroit, and spent three
corking years there, studying piano,
voice and boxing. Well, l didn't ex-
actly study boxing at the conservatory
but it all happened in Detroit, so
what's the difference?

Art of the Screen
Is All-Embracing,
Says Helen Porten

Helen Porten, one of the stars of
Deception" the European film i'm
ported by Paramount and depicting the
story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII,
has high ideals of her profession.
Screen acting, she declares, is more
than a profession: it is an obligation.
IF we ourselves do not wish that
the screen drama shall remain tied
fast to its early sins, we must take it
seriously. Even what is being done
now is merely the beginnng-it is
nothing but cropping and a seekin y
but it is rich with promise. The cine
photographic art of our day may err
and may go up blind alleys. But all
its mistakes cannot obscure the fact
that the film furnishes means for
culture of unequaled power. We
should realize this and feel that we
must help it along and not turn away
from it.
Acting for the films" says Miss
Porten, ais a profession which de-
mands an actors entire devotion. as
well as sincerity, industry and q pitt
less self criticism.
"A good film delights millions. The
thousandth repetition of a reel far
away, in some foreign land, has the
same breath Of intimacy, of freshness.
because all the spectators, the first
and the last, see the same perform
ance which was made in the enthusi-
asm of the immediate creation. It still
reflects it's freshness. even though
years may have passed"
Miss Porten plays the part of Anne
Boleyn in deception"
Deception" was created by the same
screen craftsmen who gave passion"
tc the world, and is declared to be
even greater than ITS forerunner.

Ann Andrews Discusses
Clothes f; Likes Them With
A Touch of Sophistication

Ann Andrews, who plays with Grant
Mitchell in "The Champion" at the
Longacre Theater and is considered
one of the best-dressed women on the
American stage, has not won this dis
tinction without merit. She is a thor
ough shopper. To spend day or even
two matching ribbon or getting just
the proper sort of veil is not unusual
for her.
"My sartorial creed is: the big things
will take care Of themselves; it is the
little things you must ws-tch," she says.
at is easy enough to buy stunning
gowns or suits if you have the money,
but the art of costuming lies in match
ing up all the accessories and present
ing perfect ensemble
An actress has to think great deal
about her clothes, but every women
should, because she is judged by
them and unbecoming clothes handicap
her in any line Of work On the stage
I do not always get the parts l want.
but I do insist on dressing according
to my own taste for thu parts do get.
l like clothes with a touch of sophisti-
cation, just as like that type of peo
pie. A simple white muslin frock is all
very we'll, but want little hint of
intrigue or subtlcty ABOUT it some
where"
A tribute to Miss Andrewss taste
was paid when she made her appear
ance the first night in "The Champion"
She wore gown of American Beauty
colored velvet marvelous'y draped, and
corsage bouquet of metal flowers.
There was a ripple of excitement
among the women present when they
saw it and then they burst into ap
plause. The gown, as we'll as the
actress, had scored hit.

Drama Should Dominate
Motion Picture Story,
Says Scenario Editor

Drama should be the predominating
ingredient of motion picture story,
according to Lucien Hubbard, chief of
the scenario department at Universal
City. Write history if you will, write
propaganda, drive home a lesson or
construct an autobiography, he advises,
but make these things incidental to
the drama of the story. Audiences, he
believes, will accept the pill you wish
to give them if it is sufficiently coated
with interesting, entertaining drama.
"In addition to the predominating in
gredient Of drama there may be OPP
portunites for fine Photographic eff
fects, for the women characters to
wear elaborate costumes-even a moral
may be gently conveyed-but every
thing must be subordinate to the dra-
matte quality of the story" Hubbard
says.
"Our department returns hundreds
of manuscripts every week, and natu-
rally we cannot write each contributor
personal letter and go into details
why his or her story is not available
for production. But in ninety nine
cases out of hundred the reason is
the lack of dramatic material in the
scenario. We receive dozens of stories
an the No Children Wanted theme. in
which the writers air personal griev-
ance rather than create an interesting
story with dramatic situations; scores
of stories have been submitted on the
profiteering subject, and almost invari-
ably the author has written propaganda
rather than drama.
"Others have taken the story Of their
lives or of the lives of their friends,
and called our attention to the fact the
stories were true to life. This is not
always an advantage. While there is
basis for drama all about us, the ex-
istence of most of US is commonplace
Even the most adventurous life mus:
be high-lighted and concentrated, pro-
vided with necessary conflicts and con-
trasts to make it really dramatic and
interesting.
"The most elaborate settings and the
most striking costumes will not make
\ photodrama. The most careful de-
tail and the most faithful atmosphere
will not make an interesting picture
All these features merely enhance the
value of good story and help to make
it 100 per cent perfect. But a real
drama will survive without these &C.
cessories. 1t always has been my con-
tention that perfect drama can be en-
acted against a simple background. No
matter how excellent scenario may
be, the best producers will not spare
any expense in settings, costumes and
details. A gem may sparkle under any
condition, but the wearer prefers it in
a suitable setting"

Wbe Evolution of 4 5tar
flo Dttrtcbstetn

There have been actors and actresses
on the American stage who have risen
to steller honors overnight. That was
not the case with Leo Ditrichstein, one
of the most finished actors before the
public to-day, at present playing the
title role Of Toto" comedy of Pari-
sian life, at the Bijou Theater.
Although not an American by birth,
Mr.. Dltrichstcin is essentially an Amer
lean star, and has appeared before the
American public continuously for thirty
years. Temesvar, Hungary, is his birth
place. He was educated at the Uni
verslty of Vienna. His parents offered
him the choice of the engineering pro-
fession or the priesthood. The youth.
however, had decided that the stage
was his vocation, SO he accepted an en-
gagement with light opera company in
Hungary. He received thorough
training in Continental methods Of act
ing before he decided to c. we out a
career for himself in Al. srica.
The first play which attracted atten-
ton IN America to Mr.. Ditrichstein and
his polished, quiet, yet effective meth
ods, was "The Other Man." in which he
appeared in 1898. Then he had a sue
cessful season as Zou Zou in "Trilbv."
which was presented at the Garden
Theater in 1895.
In the next four years Mr.. Ditrich-
stem became better known, appearing
IN such successes as "The Stag PARTY"
Under the Polar Star" CDR. Claudinsn
"Hedda Babler" and cat the Whit
Horse Tavern"
AT this time Mr.. Ditrichstein began
to develop talent as a playwright and
IN the course of the next fifteen wears
he wrote or was the co-author or
adapter of twenty-one plays, some Of
them being produced with great sue
cess. Up to the present time Mr.. Dit
rlchstcn has thirty-two plays to his
credit and he has appeared personally
in almost all of them.
Among the earlier of these plavs
were Gossip" of which he was the
co-author with Clyde Fitch, in 1896;
"A FOOLS Errand," 1895; "a SuperAu-
Gus Husband" 1897; "Mlle. Fiji" 1899:
The Song of the Sword" 1899; "All
On Account of Eliza" 1900; "unleav-
ened Bread" 1900, and in the same
year, care You Mason?" in which
ne did clever female characterize
ton.
Then followed a number of plays in
rapid succession. Ditrichstein had be-
come one of the favorites of the stage.
Among these plays We're "The Last
Appeal" in 1901; "Vivian's Papas,"
1908; "Harrets Honeymoon" 1908;
Tit for Tat" 1908; whats the Mat
ter With Susan?" 1904; MILITARY
Mad,' 1905; Before and After" 1905;
"Nocturne," 1906; "In Gods Country"
1906; "E Pluribus Unum," 1907; "The
Ambitious Mrs. Olcost," 1907; "Bluffs."
1908, and "Is Matrimony a Failure 2"
in 1907.
1t was in 1910 that Ditrichstein pro-
duced the play that was his most pro-
nounced success up 10 that time. 1t
was "The Concert" and his role that
Of Gabor Arany, which he continued
to play for three years.
1.-THE Temperamental Journey" "The
Phantom Rival" and "The Million" fol-
lowed and then came "The Great
Lover" which rivaled the success of
