Looks Like Young Girl
The woman so rich and ripe in ex-
perience, comes as a surprise to one
who meets Miss Grey for the first time.
Very slender, of exquisite features, she
looks very young girl until she be-

thought and felt deeply and clutched
closely the realities and the fine things
of life. introduces herself, Born in
Canada, she says of America:

Of French parentage, she numbers
among her relatives a bishop and other
high churchmen. She says it is be-
cause instead of holding up hands of
horror to bar her from the stage, they
held up to her, when she had an
nounced her intention, the possibilities
of "the applause that isn't the kind
that dies out when the curtain drops"
that the stage career has meant so
much toward making her life a full
one
Yet she isn't a preachy person at all.
Nor is she always deep in serious prob
lens She's right good fun popular
with hosts Of girls Of the stage; awfully
keen on golf and has a doll mascot
that is the pride Of her life To it she
attributes the fact of her surprising

principal roles,

As to present day stage conditions
and the ACCESSIBILITY OF the career for
girls Of real ability, she said.

off by the talk di difficulties and
necessities Of standing in with direc-
tors. It's all poppycock. didn't

"If a girl has talent a director or
nobody else can succeed in keeping her

fatal shoal on which many a stage
career has been wrecked Flattery is

WHAT DO YOU THINK
or THE MOVIE WALTZ?

One of the most unnatural things
filmed in photopl2ys is the CONVEX
sational waltz. This does not refer
TO the new dance.
The director has a man and woman
meet in a dance 10 carry out part OF
the plot Subutles tell you what
they are talking about.
The inharmoniOus touch is in the
vertical movement Of the dancers.
They bob up and down in front Of
the camera for a closeup. They
dance but it doesn't get them any
where.
The actors look far from grace
full. Even in the modern modihca-
tons Of the waltz one advances a
little distance with each step.
Dance scenes would appear more
natural in the movies if the director
would have the central figures waltz
close to the camera for a closeup
and then waltz as they would in any
ball room.
Two pictures which contain these
bobbing dances for
cIose-ups are Women Who Wait"
and Life"
The new conversational walk"
may enable directors TO have their
characters dancing and talking at
the same time in an unrestrained
manner.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-H-ss-t!
Here's a secret-Richard Bennett is
in the movies,
Bennett. producer and star Of
Damaged Goods" and other stage
successes, scorned the photoplay for
years
He was visiting California studios
when Theodore Roberts became i'll.
He was cast for the character part
in "The He'll Diggers" which was to
have been played by Roberts
Fearing that his screen acting
might not measure up to the stand
ard Of his stage performances he
wore a bushy beard and the nom de
screen, Alexander Broun."
He made up that name by combin-
ing the names of Alexander Wool
colt and Haywood Broun, New York
dramatic critics.
In The He'll Diggers" WalIy Reid
is the engineer for a gold dredging
company which is at war with a
group of farmers.
The gold dredger is called a hell
digger" because it destroys the top
SOIL as IL digs up grdVel ana washes
it for the gold it contains.
The general manager of the COM
pany is a crook and Wally exposes
him and invents a dredger that Will
not destroy the top soil.
As the plot unfolds the crook IS
foiled, the dredging company and
the farmers comprise tAeir differ
ences and Wally wins the daughter
Of the leader Of the farmers.
Bennett is the leader of the farm
ers. Lois Wilson is the daughter.
The story was especially written
by Byron Morgan as a vehicle for
Reid and as a consequence there are
many situations in which Reid is
given an opportunity to make the
audience laugh.
However, Reid fell far short Of
looking the part Of an engineer in
the first reel of two. He looked more
like an oily-haired denizen OF hotel

Arrested for the murder of Charles

charge after one of the most sensa-
tional trials ever recorded in the
courts of Los Angeles, Mrs. Peete was
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
Since then she has made cease
less fight for either reversal of the
decision Of the local court or for a
new trial.
Attorney w. Joseph Ford, one OF
her counsel during the trial and fight

apply today for a ten-day stay Of exc
cution.
Yesterdays decision of the Su.
preme Court was unanimous. No
written opinion was handed down.
Mrs. Peete's application was made
on five grounds: that the Appellate
Court decision was contrary to Lawn

juror; that the court should not have
ruled that revolver and hols.e.
were admissible in evidence; that ii
was not necessary to charge the jar!
