London and Paris is only to repeat al
over again what all European travel
ers know-that this charming French
woman from the "Folies Bergere" In
Paris has scored a sensation in re-
cent years that has never been
achieved by any other European star.
From Paris Delysia went to London.
and for three solid years she played at
the London Pavilion. She created
the leading roles of several prodpe-
lions there, but her most notable soc
cess was Agar" which ran for more
than a year. Last fall +. Ray. Com.
stock and Morris Cost brought DEFY
STA to America to present Agar" in
New York City. They also brought
the celebrated English comedian.

Delysia in Agar" with Lupfpo

rical novelties and sensations on
Broadway last season, and at the con-,
clusion of more than forty weeks
Delysia sailed for her vacation in Lon,
don and Paris. Now she is returning
TO America to present the same pro-
duction, "Afgar," on a tour of tho
principal cities, and she win be sup

One-half Of the world may not know
how the other half lives, yet right in
our own country there are settlements
which have no conception of the ways
of modern civilization. This is in the
Virginia mountains, where Richard
Hergesheimer's 'Tola able David" is
being filmed midst a primitiveness
hardly believable.
Here woman is placed on a lower
sphere than man, and her chief place
in life is conceded to be the servant of
her lord and master. Standing behind
his chair at the dinner table when not
engaged in actually serving him. she
patiently switches the flies away from
his lordly person and waits for him
to finish before she starts to eat. The
instrument, and she uses 1t with the
same skill that her Northern sister
plies the 1921 sewing machine.
Descendants of religious sect that
believes mans superiority is divine
heritage. the male members of this
little colony are not allowed to kiss
their women folk, but frequently may
be seen exchanging chaste kisses
among their own sex. A glance at
the long hirsute adornments on their
cheeks and chin, in spite of the fact
that the upper lip is scrupulously
shaver, however. has led Mr.. Barthel-
mess to wonder whether the women
should not really be 'complimented and
relieved at their neglect in this
matter.
Scenes showing these customs of a
bygone day, which are still prevalent
in this mere atom of a modern nation,
cut off from and scorning modernity.
are plenteously sprinkled through
''Tol' able David" which is being filmed
under the direction of Henry King.
The cabin around which many of
the scenes revolve is a primitive log
affair and is now figuring in a feud
which has divided the county into fac
tons.
Another scene will show what is
claimed to be the largest water wheel
ever built in the South, which the
natives claim was built by the State
of Virginia to provide corn flour for
the settlers who lett that State to join
Daniel Boone in his settlement in
Kentucky.

knickerbocker Closed
For Decoration Only

Announcement is made from the ex.

tiers, in the Metropolitan Theater
building. that Crandall's Knicker.
booker, Eighteenth street at Columbia
road northwest, wfll be closed on
Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday of the current week for pur-
poses of interior decoration. 1t was
thought that the interior embellish-
ment could be accomplished without
closing the house even for so short a
period as four days, but upon investi-
cation II was found that necessary
scaffolding would materially impair
the pleasure of the theater's patrons
and the decision TO close briefly was
reached. The Knickerbocker will re-
open for the Saturday matinee, July
80. with Tom Moore the pictured star
in Made In HEAVIER"
The brief closing of the Knicker-
booker has given rise to the rumor
that others of the Crandall chain of
seven .theaters in the Capital viii close
in the near future. 1t Is definitely
stated by the Crandall executives that
this rumor is totally without founda-
ton in fact. Neither Crandalls Metro
politan nor any other OF the Crandall
houses will close this summer, book

Mecca" Famous Spectacle
of Orient, Coming Here

Mecca musical Extravaganza of
the Orient. written by Oscar Asche.
with music by Percy E. Fletcher. will
be presented by F.. Ray Comstock and
Morris Gest in this city during the
coming season.
This is the second season OF Mecca, %
which has had a curious and interest
ing career because of many unexpected
events connected with this production.
Originally written by Oscar Asche.
famous creator and author of "Chu
Chin Chow" ii was intended as the
successor OF that musical extravaganza
at His Majesty's Theater in London.
One year ago all was in readiness for
its London production, and at that
time F. Ray Comstock and Morris
Gest, who had produced "Chu Chin
Chow" in America, secured a contract
by which they produced Mecca" in
America. Mr.. Asche was compelled to
postpone Mecca" in London because
of the popularity of "Chu," and so it
happened that the worlds premiere Of
Mecca took place in New York just
a year ago. 1t scored sensational
and overwhelming success and ran
almost six months in New York. until
finally IL was taken to Chicago to
finish the season. Now IL is about to
make a tour OF the principal cities for
it's second season.
Meanwhile, in London. Oscar Asche
Is making all arrangements to pro-
duce Mecca" this coming season. but
the lord chamberlain has actually for
hidden him to use the title because Of
supposed religious prejudice on the
part of Mohammedans, to whom the
word Mecca means heaven. 1t will,
therefore, be done in London under

Why Is a subtitle7

Why is a subite7
Ray Rocket says II Is part of
the primordial curse, but that since
II is here 1t behooves US TO make the
best of IL.
Do you know that in the average
five-recl picture you see about four
reels of picture and one OF subtitles?
Mr.. Rocket takes issue with those
writer's who favor many subitles and
condemns the idea as being subvers-
i've OF the true art Of motion picture
expression. Says Mr.. Rocket:
The motion picture is a story told
in visualized action by players work
ing to definite purpose. II is a
drama in living pictures. The sub
title as originally used had for its
sole purpose the explanation of things
that could not be told by the action
or to express the passage of time.
A clever subtitle may get a laugh
but it is the action Of the play that
people pay to see.
The argument that mental action
cannot adequately be expressed by
mimetic arc witnout the use of a spok-
en- subtitle Is a faliacy. More real
dramatic action may be put over In
a close up showing repression than in
all the shouted subtitles that were
ever written. Many an actor spoils
the effect OF his work by letting his
