WOMEN SEND MASH NOTES
TO DEEP DYED VILLAIN

How true is the saying that the
thing we run away from il often the
thing we run into? This was demon
strated recently to James Mason, well
known screen villain, who plays Red
Pawl in the Goldwyn picture Cod
less Men" directed by Reginald
Barker, which opens a weeks engage
ment at Moores Garden Theater to-
morrow.
Now Mason has never been ladies'
man. He Rugged himself in the
thought that hearts are not flung at
the feet of deep-dyed villains
But the psychology OF beauty and
the beast-that peculiar fascination
of the ruthless man for the fair and
lovely--was at work, and with Red
Pawl 1t was soon to bear results. The
storm broke recently when Mason's
mail carried several tinted. scented
envelopes To his amazed eyes APP
peared written in a dainty feminine
hand, II know you cannot be the viii
lain you appear in the play. 1T Is an
Injustice TO your manlincss. j send
you my sympathy" Mason groaned
aloud as his eye ran over other ref
erences to his adorable. wicked
eyes and his Fascinating, cruel
mouth"
1t took the argument of director
and entire cast to convince him OF
being a perfectly good villain. which
was probably the reason for his
charm.

THE CRITERION
"The GOOd-Bad Wife,"

Seldom is there a really novel plot
shown on the screen. but one OF real
Eovclty and originality is offered by
the Criterion Theater. where The
Good-Bad Wife" adapted from the
Mary INLAY Taylor story. THE Wild
Fawn," described as a photoplay that
will reach home is being shown next
week
The Good Bad Wife" is intended to
illustrate concretely and humanity the
belief that has been celebrated in song
and story, but rarely through the
rhotoplay, that "thero Is n little bit
of bad in the best of US, and little
bit of good in the worst of US" only
there is more good than bad in The
Good-Bad Wife" as the happy ending
of the picture after many humorous
and some tragic trials and tribula-
lions indicate.
The photoplay is. in six reels, with
a notable cast including Dorothy
Green and Sidney Mason.

Ted Reed, Mey Director, Makes
Bob With Douq Fairbanks Film

When 1.-THE Nut" Douglas Fair
banks new celluloid creation Is pre-
sented at Loew's Palace tomorrow a
new director will be introduced to
the picture going public.
He is Ted Reed. who guided the
destinies of this novel gelatine play
through its amazing complexities
The clever manner in which he de-
veloped the various situations demon
strates that he is entitled to a place
well up toward the top of that we'll
known mountain Mohammed men,
toned.
Reed is a product of the Fairbanks
studio. To put it in his own words
he is a graduate of the u. of ID. +.
University of Douglas Fairbanks:)
The manner in which he found his
way into the picture business is a
story in itself.
During the Third Liberty loan drive
Reed was in charge of salesmen's
meetings in Detroit. He was one
Of the Detroit committee that met
Doug" Mary Pickford, and Charlie
Chaplin when they made their mem
orable transcontinental tour in behalf
of the bond selling campaign. Fair
banks was so impressed with Reeds
pep" that he insisted upon arrange
ments being made which enabled this
"live wire" to accompany them on the
remainder OF the trip.
When the campaign was over and
Doug had returned to his picture
making in southern California, he
wired Reed. who had gone back to
Detroit, to come West and get into the
game with him.
Without knowing what his salary
would be- or his duties either for that
matter, Reed packed up and init the
Tha AVG
thing he did was to write the titles
for Say. Young Fellow" Then he be-
came scenario editor, and next pub
licity director, and at last assistant
director on when the Clouds Roll
By"
He continued as assistant for two
more productions-"The Mollycoddle'
and 1.-THE Mark Of Zorro" And when
the search began for a director for
"The Nut" Douglas Fairbanks decided
to give Red Reed his big chance.
There is probably no one individual
in the motion picture business respon-
sible for the development of as many
high-grade directors as Douglas Fair
banks. All told he has brought out
four men who have made good behind
Albert Parker, Joseph Henaberry, Vic
tor Flemming, and last, Ted Reed.
This is very remarkable record and
one that rightly reflects much glory
on the genial Doug"
No director in the business has a
better foundation to stand on than
Reed. His thorough grounding in the
rudiments of picture making give him
an ample understanding of every
angle of the work. In addition to
that he is backed by a college educa
ton, having graduated from the Uni
versity OF Michigan as a chemical en-
gineer.
And IL anybody has anything to
say about Douglas Fairbanks that
isn't complimentary, it better be said
when Ted Reed isn't around.

LACK OF MOTHER MAKES
TOMBOYS, SAYS ACTRESS

When a girl is deprived of that
most precious thing in life-mothcr
love-and is left to the care OF
father who places monetary value
on virtually everything. including
even happines, she is quite likely to
become a tomboy.
That is the opinion of Mildred
Harris Chaplin, who plays the role
of such a girl in "Old Dad her
latest First National starring We
hicle, which will be screened at
Crandalls Metropolitan and knick-
erbocker theaters, beginning tomor-
row afternoon.
Not that there is anything par
ticularly obnoxious about tomboys,
for have known many who were
really delightful creatures. but most
of them have been cheated in life at
the start" recently observed Mrs.
Chaplin. The majority OF girls l
have known who were in the tomboy
class came from families of wealth.
Their mothers were either not
living, or had all their Interests
wrapped up in society. while their
fathers were generally so immersed
in business that they gave but li.tle
time to their children.
Nurses and governesses and fasn-
ionable boarding schools can never
substitute for the loving care of a
real mother. When such substitutes
are offered in the place of genuine
mother love. for a girl, reaction is
bound to take place in her life.

METROPOLITAN
"Old Dad"

Mildred Harris Chaplin, whose re-
cent personal appearance in this city
is still a fragrant memory among
lovers of the best in silent drama, will
be seen at Crandall's Metropolitan
1heater for the week beginning to-
morrow in "Old Dad" a Louis Il.
Mayer production which Is said to
excel even THE Woman in His
House" in dramatic interest, romance.
and humor.
"Old Dad" is an especially clever
screen adaptation of the novel of the
same name by Eleanor Hallowell Alb
bolt, in which are revealed a series
of situations that grow out of a young
girls innocent stumbling from one
combination of scandalous circum-
stances to another, without the COM
forting guidance of a mother to steer
her clear OF the pitfalls that inevita-
bly, confront adolescence.
Finally expelled from boarding
school by preceptress who evidently
never had been a girl herself, Daphne
Breton launches herself upon the I'M
charted sea of matrimony under the
pilotage OF a roue who already had
an utter suffciency of family.
Through the Vaccinations of this
bigamist. Daphne is enabled to re-
store her mother to the home she de-
serted. bring solace to the life of her
"old dad" and herself attain that hap
piness which really had been her sin

Surrounding the brilliant young
star in this delightful comedy drama
are players whose capabilities entitle
them to stellar distinction. Myrtle
Stedman, Irving Cummings and John
Sainpolis are, perhaps, the best known
members of the supporting company.
Mrs. Chaplins new leading man is
George Stewart, handsome younger
brother OF Anita Stewart, the famous
star of the First National pictures.
The bill for the week will as usual
be completed by shorter film features
and special musical contributions.
