When it came to picking the farm
yard animals for the acting required

Griffith had one OF his technical
directors furnish him a list of animals
required. That was easy, thought
everybody around the studio. The
ordinary list of cows. sheep, horses
pigs and some chickens was given
Mr.. Griffith.
This will not do" he said. you've
left out the most valued asset to our
presentation of the farm and its
animals" What could he mean?
Just this Do you notice how much
"babyhood" is shown among the
animals in the bucolic scenes of Way
Down East?
There are calves, sheep, chicks,
puppies, fieiglings. lambs, kittens. and
then there are the grown ups OF
the barnyard. The cows. horses, dogs,
pigeons, pigs and the great herd OF
cattle numbering 200.
I'VE want the 'sweet-happy-baby-
hood of the farm life wherever we
can show it," said Mr.. Griffith. How
the public enjoy 1t is self evident.

securing London for weeks for a girl
to play the name part in "Bunty
Pulls the Strings" in the American
production of that Scotch comedy
which William Brady presented here.
Hearing Miss McIntyre's inquiry as
to how she could get an engagement,
and being attracted to her Scotch
dialect, he turned to her and asked her
IL she would be willing to accept an
offer in America. without giving the
matter a second thought she accepted
and was on her way to this country
within n weeks time.
When she informed her mother OF
the plan Molly was considered black
sheep In her flock, but after Miss
Mcintyre sent her American notices
home, and became so successful on the
stage, the mother became reconciled
in n measure, and has since decided
that perhaps her little Molly was
right, and that the stage was her
calling.

EMMA TRENTnVI SINGS
AT KEITH'S THIS WEEK

Nine. Emma Trentini. the famous
operatic star. is again in Keith
vaudeville and will be the central
orb of the washington's Birthday
celebration bill at b. F. Keith's The
ter this week, commencing at the
matinee tomorrow. An extra matt
nee at p. m. will be given on
Tuesday. the natal day of THE
Father of Our Country"
Nine. Trentini is an Italian, OF the
chic and vivacious character common
to the natives of Sunny Italy and
her most memorable performance in
this country was in Naughty Ma
rietta." She has a beautiful voice,
charming personality, and rare
ability as a comedienne. Her visit
should excite extraordinary interest,
especially as she is seen very seldom
in vaudeville. the present occasion
being probably her farewell for a
long while. Albert Vernon is her
accompanist.
The extra added attraction will be
the author comedian, John b. Hymer
and company, in Mr.. Hymer's latest
addition to the TON Walker" Sc
ries of dusky farces, this one being

Sydney Grant, the musical COM
edy feature, will celebrate his re-
advent in vaudeville with a bunch
of crisp stories and catchy songs,
rendered in his really inimitable
style, with added flavor contributed
by his handsome, clean-cut face.
Fred Lindsay, the famous Aus
tralian sportsman and explorer, will
be introduced and his bush-whip eN:
hibition will be found novel and
exciting, as he is rated as the great
est in this line. Other Australian
sports and hunting methods will be

d. w. Griffth's picture sensation.
Way Down East" will begin linn
tied engagement with a matinee and
night performance at the Shubert-
Garrick Theater today and will be
followed with two performances
each day at ? and 3.
So many requests have been made
by the people of Washington. who
have been unable to gain admission,
for a continuation of the produc-
ton. that the management has been
Ou..S,d to change the bookings of
the attraction elsewhere and make
the move to the Shubert -Garrick.
In Way Down East" the scenes
relating TO the rural communities.
and especially the thrilling ice
scenes, were photographed literally
way down East" that Is. on the
Connecticut river. near White River
Junction, Vermont, and many of the
farm scenes were shot" in the
neighborhood.
AS for the blizzard into which poor
iii Lillian plunges when driven by
Squire Bartlett out into the cold. cold
night. that was photographed in
Westchester county, n. Y, in the vi
cinity of the Griffith Studios. which
are at Mamaroneck. David Wark ad-
mits that he took fully million feet
of negative before satisfactory results
were achieved, all Of which was finally
cut down to the $4,000 feet now on
display at the Shubert-Garrick The
ater.
MIR. Griffith and his assistants, i'm
cluding the actors, braved all sorts OF
dangers to make "Way Down East, y
but they had many a thrill in doing
so. Miss Gish struggled through
miles and miles of snow and fought
many real gale that threatened her
with pneumonia, while the famous
producer has nothing but admiration
for the slender young girl who, OF
her own accord, floated down the Con-
necticut river day after day, thinly
clad, with her hair and part of her
head dragging in the icy water.

James Barton Brings Laughter
To "Passinq Shoqv" at R0R S

James Barton. the foremost mirth-
maker with "The Passing Show OF
1919" at Polls tonight INDUCES in
as many athletic fads as Fred Stone
or Doug Fairbanks. Not satisfied with
the strenuous routine OF his stage la
bors which would test the strength OF
a modern Hercules, Mr.. Barton has
fitted up in his dressing room at the
theater a miniature gymnasium.
When he Is not engaged on the
stage diverting the audience with his
dancing, sparring and pantomimic
comicalities, he may be found prac-
ticing with the weights, exercising
with dumb bells or punching the
bag. In consequence Mr.. Barton is
always in the pink of physical con-
djtion.
Pep. pace and punch are said to be
the predominant characteristics of
the Passing Show of 1919" which is
eclipsing all B previous records of
Winter Garden shows.
The infectious fun of this exhiliar-
ating spectacle would alone ensure
the success of the entertainment
None of it's predecessors could boast
so much genuine and wholesome
comedy.
James Barton. the Avon Comedy
Four, Kyra. Lon Hascall, frankie
Heath, Four Haley Sisters, Hazell
Cox. Rath Brothers, Jack Leslie,
Harry Turpin. Al Martin, Eddie Miller.
Merle Hartwell. Peggy Merriment,
Tillie Barton, and John Crone are the
newcomers to the Winter Garden fold
and they have all ensconed them
al In. he nf nf
musical revues.
AS usual the chief asset of this
alluring spectacle is the pulchritudin-
Gus contingent of femininity. THE
Show of 1910" justifies it's high repu-
tation in it's frank exhibition of stage
beauties. Nothing more gorgeous
than the scene revealing the glories
Of King Solomon's throne room in all
its splendor has been seen on the
American stage. There Is an excess
Of enchant.nent throughout the whole
entertainment, and the only fault that
can be found with the present Pass
ing Show" Is it's excess of diverse al
lurements.
Chief vocal honors fall to the quar-
tet of lithesome sisters programmed as
the Haley Sisters. They assuredly are
mistresses of harmony. The "Tum-
oiS LIN anu Itodu " Dcstihy tiio
are nightly awarded encores enough
to prolong the performance to an in
ordinate length. ....-s.
"The Passing Show of 1919" is nota-
BILE beyond all its predecessors for its
apt and clever travesty of last sea-
sons metropolitan successes. The
satire on "The Jest" receives full APP
probation, although the original play
in which the Barrymores created a
furore last season in New York has
never been seen in any other city. 1t
is a triumph on its own merits.
Mr.. Barton and Miss Heath, in
their clever imitation of the Barry
more mannerisms, demonstrate unu-
sual histrionic talent. The fine art
of travesty has never been so well
exemplifed in a production of this
type.
