With ESDream Street,
Griffith Gives His
5OOth Production

In Dream Street" which will he first
shown at the Central Theater Thursday
night. the public will be invited to see
Mr.. Griffith's 5o0th production.
Probably no other record in, the IN
dustry so thoroughly suggests it's de-
velopment as this fact that one mar has
had time to produce 500 individual pro-
auctions.
This record includes what were orig
inally known as the "splt-reel" pic
lures. where it was thought thrifty to
devote 400 or 500 feet Of film to one
production, the remainder of the 900
foot reel being used for another picture.
The title of Mr. Griffith's first pic
turc was "The Adventures of Dolly"
In it appear Mary Pickford and Henry
Walthall
When he made his first two reels
such cry of alarm WAS raised by the
management of the company that he
could only finish it by secreting himself
with his players in the country until
his work was completed. The Riograph
Company then refused to wreck the in
dustry by attempting to show a two
reel picture. because it was feared the
public would not endure anything so
long. Finally affairs were arbitrated by
cutting the picture in two, calling the
first part "His Faith,' and the second
"His Faith Fulfilled" That picture was
at once the first two-reeler and the
first serial.
The tenth picture Mr.. Griffith made,
called "The Curtain Pole" was the first
broad comedy picture and the forerun-
ner of the modern two reel comedies.
The first FIVE reel picture was Mr..
Grffith's "The Escape" and the first
ten-reeler WAS "The Birth Of Nation"
"Dream Street." which is taken from
characters suggested by the stories Of
Thomas Burke, is dramatic comedy
in ten reels.
Its showing will be accompanied by
the usual effects attending a Griffith
production, including special music
with 32-piece orchestra and lighting
effects. There will be no prologue.
The cast includes Carol Dempster.
Ralph Graves, Charles Mack, Tyrone
Power, Edward Peil, Morgan Wallace,
Porter Strong, W. J. Ferguson, Charles
Slattery and George Neville.

Ivan Simpson, Valet
In screen Goddess
Was Once a Reporter

Ivan F. Simpson, who plays the facile
valet to George Arliss in "The Green
Goddess,' was catapulted into the the
atrical profession by the failure of a
society newspaper in London
He had been reporter on The Lon
don Herald, with no idea Of adopting
the stage as a profession. when the
sudden failure of that publication left
him without a job and without funds.
In his school days he had acted in anna
teur theatricals. One day he ran
across an old school fellow who had
gone on the stage. He suggested to
Simpson that he go and do likewise.
Simpson hardened to his advice and
within twenty-five hours had five roles
all in the same play-at a salary of
s. a week
When f. S. Willard came to the
United States for tour in 1905-'O6,
Simpson was member of his company.
His entire professional career since
that season has been in the United
States. He played minor roles in Bar
rie's "The Professors Love Story,
''Tom Pinch" "a Pair of Spectacles'
and David Garrick" with Willard. On
the latter's return to England Simpson
was engaged for the role of the High
Church clergyman in Henry Arthur
Jones's "Evangelist," in which he won
a personal success
He then acted in "The Single Man"
in support of John Drew; for Charles
Frohman, in "The Speckled Band" one
of the Sherlock Holmes plays; in F.
Anstey's Love Among the Lions" and
in "Arsene Lupin." On the outbreak
Of the European war Mr.. Simpson en-
listed in the 10th Battery of the Cana
dian Field Artillery, serving for four
years in France and Belgium. He wa.
wounded in the action at Vimy Ridge
He won his commission through his
courage and intelligence in that action
and on other battlefelds.
On being mustered out of the sery-
ice Mr.. Simpson returned to New York
and was engaged by Lou-Tellegen tc
play the role of the English Consul in
New York in Augustus Thomas's play
"Hcr Blue Devil"
His appearance in "The Green God
dess" as the renegade English soldier
who dares not show his face in either
England or India, one Of the seasons
skilful stage interpretations, is the
third role in which he has been seen in
New York this aeason.
He was first the Scotchman in Rob
ert Millions production of "The Charm
School," and then rs Hewsoh, the but
Ter with aspirations to play Hamlet, in
support of Roland Young in "Rollo's
Wild Oat." He achieved a big success
in both roles. but was under contract to
Winthrop Ames to create the role of
Watkins, valet to the Raja, in William
Archer's play of adventure in Central
Asia, before he was engaged for the
Hummer comedy.

Tsose Ro]ando Deserted
Latin and School Rod
For Dancing Slippers

Tho career of Rose Rolando, who
makes the most of her opportunity IN
lor ore dance number in "The Rose
Girl" at the Ambassador Theater, IS
owe If the most unusual in the Broad
,,-,, 1imelirht at the present time
Miss Rolando comes from Los An
coles and had her schooling at the
University of California. She had
wanted to be a teacher. but soon found
herself giving more interest to Miriam
Norgan's course in classical and inter
pretative dancing than to Latin OF
psychology She was always chosen
b., the other students TO design the
costumes and put on the dances OF the
university dramatic activities at the
Berkeley Greek Theater. After year
and half of college life she changed
her shell-rimmed spectacles for pink
kid slippers and came East with the
Morgan Dancers.
Then followed two and half years
of Egyptian. Greek and Roman solo
work in vaudeville. This led naturally
to musical comedy, and New Workers
will remember Miss Rolsndo in the
Gladiator and Egyptian ballets in
Cover the Top" and later in the Ballet
Jewels with Flora Revalles in Monte
Cristo jr.' During all this time she
studied diligently and taught in the
mornings. One of Roses star pupils
was Martha Lorber, who danced with
her in cover the Top and is now in
Mecca" Rose also arranged dance
numbers on several of Maurice Tour
neur's motion picture productions, in
cluding "The Bluebird,' "Prunella,'
"Woman," and "The Glory Of Love-"
