Inspecting the shacks (why do they

Of odd corners, among the trees, snug,
cozy, and delightful, fragrant of new

TELEPHoNING BY TOUCH

At the New York Lighthouse for the
Blind, Ill East Fifty-ninth Street,
New York City, David Robb, blind
telephone operator, directs switch
board with three trunk. lines and
twenty extensions and does 1t with
ease and alacrity, says the Telephone
Review, N. Y.
A telephone switchboard is mystic
rious apparatus even to the all-seeing,
SO you can imagine the confusion 1t
would cause to one without sight, who
attempted to master Its mysteries.
Mr.. Robb was once bank clerk, do
ing a work which called for keen sight
and which involved considerable eye.

MACLEAN AN ENERGETIC
PERFORMER ON SCREEN

Douglas MacLean, whose Para
mount starring vehicle. THE Rockies
Return" which will be seen at Loew's
Palace tomorrow, has earned the rep
citation during the past year of being
one of the most energetic workers
IN the screen profession.
Not only does Mr.. MacLean play an
important part in the selecting of his
stories. but he assists materially in
the selection of the cast and the di-
rection of the picture.
Mr.. MacLean has had several years
experience both on the speaking stage
and the screen and is a capable judge
OF dramatic and comedy values. No
scene is taken in a MacLean produc-
ton unless it has first been carefully
analysed. as to its probable effect
upon future audiences.
THE Rockies Return" is a humor-
ously interesting story of a young
returned soldier and his exciting ex-
periences in adjusting himself to
civilian life after two years in the
service.

"The Confession"

1.-THE worlds most beautiful love
story" is said to describe Hal Reds
play, 1.-The Confession" which has
been made into a marvellous motion
picture by the National Film Corpora
ton, featuring Henry Walthal.
1t was directed by Betram Brac-
ken and cost $4,000 to make.
The story of the picture is one
calculated to hold it's auditors spell
bound from beginning to end, encom-
passing as it does the gamut of every
human emotion, the love of sweet
heart for sweetheart, brother for
brother, and last, but not least, the
love of a mother for her son.
The Confession" ,'as a stage play
had wonderful career, and in it's
new form is much better, from the
fact that Ii is not limited to the few
stage scenes possible in a theater.
The picture opens at Sidney Lusts

Charles Ray will be the star of this

Theater in Peaceful Valley" a ster
ling drama of humor and pathos that
perhaps is more completely in conson-
ance with it's stars mimetic gifts than
any other vehicle in which he has re-

AS Hosiah Howe, Ray has one of
his finest opportunities to bring to
the silver sheet all of the homely wit,
all of the manly virtue and all of the
personal charm that have endeared
him to a wider public than can be
boasted by any other male star in ST.

AS the country youth who flew to

from evils that she knew not of, he
is perfect in his INSTALLATION of an
authentic American type-the type
that won the war: as the young
pumpkin who falls desperately In
love with n beautiful girl from the
city, he is delightful in the drollery
and humor that the play affords in sucn
abundance.
The bill will be complemented by

PHILADELPHIA HOUSES
WILLIAM FOX THEATER

William Fox, president of the Fox
Film Corporation and owner OF
string of theaters throughout the
country, has according to latest re-
port, added Philadelphia to the long
list of cities where his name appears
over the door of a playhouse. A deal
has been completed for a site in the
theater district and plans made for
the erection OF an up-tod date house
that will present pictures and vaude-
VILE in line with the policy of the
United States.
The president and founder of the
corporation bearing his name has
just seen the fulfilment of a prophecy
of his own, that New York would
some day become the center of the
film producing interests just as IL was
the city where the first picture was
made. He was the first man to build
in New York the largest studio of its
kind and establish ten minutes from
broadway a motion picture community
that would line up with any of the
studio properties of the West.
The Fox studios on Tenth avenue
are now year old and as a token OF
success an addition to the structure is
not only being erected, but an entire
block. formerly occupied by the Kel
ly-Springfield people, has been taken
over for an extension.
Under one roof Mr.. Fox now sees
his plans in operation from the writ
ing of the scenario to the issuing of
the finished film-not n remarkablc
thing elsewhere-but really an event
in the industry when one realizes that
this motion picture community is in
the heart of New York and has turn
ed the attention of the nation to the
metropolis as the future operating
