its revival here In Washington last
fall.
Mr.. Hampden will open his en-
gagement in Macbeth tomorrow
night. His first appearance as the
Thane Of Cawdor was here In Wash
ington last spring, the week prior
to the opening Of his New York
session in this tragedy. The well

repeated later In New York with
such success that It aroused more

sixty eight performances. His other
characterizations were new to the
metropolis. His Macbeth was hail
ed as 1.-The best Macbeth Of the gen.
Grafton" or "a notable Macbeth" or
IAN ideal Macbeth" by ten Of the
twelve critics on the metropolitan
dailies. while every one without
exception pronounced his Shylock
as his best performance" or 1.-The
greatest Shylock Of the day or the
best since Edwin Booth" 1t is prob
ably the first time In recent thea

Mr.. Hampden will be supported
by his usual excellent company, the
members Of which are. in the main,

Contrary to the belief of some
playgoers, Mr.. Hampden's scenery
is by no means confined to curtains.

something to fall over. there is suf-

Ncps Notes of the People You
Like Best on the Screen to
Keep You in Touch With
Their Latest activities

Viola Dana. the petite Metro star. is
doing lot of hard work at night after
completing her studio appearances in
her latest picture, "Life's Darn
Funny" and the reason for It all is
dresses. When Miss Dana came back
to the studio lot at Hollywood from
months vacation in New York the little
star was the envy of all the others be-
cause of her fine collection Of latest
fashions. Then in her picture appear
ance she used many of these costumes.
Rather than appear twice IN the same
gown the little star is putting in extra
hours designing some new creations
from the wealth of material she brought
back with her.
Agnes Ayres has been through series
Of changes these last few weeks. First
she was ordered to report at the studio
in California to play the leading
woman's role opposite Wallace Reid
in '"The He'll Diggcrs." After reading
the part and making all arrangements
to get her clothes she was told to get
ready to 60 to New York Immediately
to play opposite Thomas Mcighan in
"Cappy Ricks," the Peter Kyne story
in which Tom Wise and William
Courtenay were starred on the stage a
few seasons ago. Lois Wilson was
rushed into the place left vacant by
Miss Ayres in the West and every one
is happy.
Buster Keat0n, the somber- faced
| comedian, arrived in New York last
| week and announced that his temporary
dcsertion of the screen colony in Los
Angeles was for the purpose Of making
two contracts, one personal, the other
| professional. His personal contract will
| be matrimonial in character and will
! be with Natalie Talmadge, sister of
| Constance and Norma Talmadge. Miss
Talmadge, when she met Buster at the
station, announced the wedding would
take place within month. The pro-
! fessional contract will be with Metro
regarding a new series of laugh makers
which the agile comedian makes for
Joseph NJ. Schenck.
Nazimova recently gave the little
California city of Santa Monica a night
of binding artificial light and a

Predicts Radical Change
In Trend OF Our Mouies

K1NG NIDOR, director of "The Sky
4A Pilot when recently asked, in
New York. to venture phOphecy as to
the trend Of the photoplay art industry
during 1921 and 1922. said he was
convinced that "the tendency will be
toward psychological and ethical themes
with a departure from the purely
physical action picture. with its thrills,
gymnastics. and other physical sen
sations.'
Il also believe" said the young
author -produccr- director. that tho
present day accomplishment of many
outworn traditions. conventions. and
political theories prcsagCs an era Of
phOtOplays which will moro than merely
scratch the surface of things: photo
plays which will paint reality and
rcalism-rathcr than the Puritanism
and pucrile sCntimCntalism which most
of the screen plays of the past have
expressed
Il look forward, in this years and
next years phOtoplays. to prcdom

vices.
psychological themes arc bound t,
find expression in our coming cinemas
as all indications point TO an era o
serious social reconstruction, and th
conflict which looms between capita
