vessel was wrecked on the coast Of
Ireland. The lifeboat put out smart
ly for shore and all hands were safely
taken aboard her. The last to leave
the doomed ship was the captain OF
the vessel. and he was in a mighty
bad temper, which even his timely
rescue from watery grave had not
abated.
The lifeboatmen reasoned with him.

and telling him he ought to think him
self lucky that all hands were saved

SCREEN SCRAP CAUSES
STAR TO BREAK BONES

Getting realism into a big fight
scene in Rex Beach's new picture,
-The Silver Horde" the attraction at
Moore's Garden Theater for the week
beginning tomorrow. resulted In
Frederick Stanton's getting two fin-
gers broken in addition to his ac-
quisition of a few minor cuts and
bruises. According to the story, Stan
ton. who plays the part OF Big
George, invades the store run by the
Marsh Canning Company. who are
endeavoring. to compel him to sell
his traps, and accuses the four men
present OF burning his cabin.
The four men, deeming the oppor-
tunity favorable, set upon Big George
and eventually throw him to the
floor. In the terrific struggle that
follows, Stanton, unfortunately. falls
on his open hand, and the weight OF
the four men pressing down upon him
caused two of his fingers to tend
back and break at the second joint
Lefty" Flynn. former Yale full
back, was one of Stanton's opponents
and his weight alone is sufficient to
break a few fingers With the other
three men Of almost equal size and
weight Stanton probably thinks him
self lucky to have escaped with only
his one hand bound up.

THE LEADER
"A Thousand to One"

A photop1ay of contrasts is Hobart
Bosworth's latest J. Parker Read, jr-
starring vehicle "A Thousand to One,
which comes to the Leader Theater
for one week. beginning tomorrow,
under the auspices of the Associated
Producers. Inc.
The atmospheric detail-the stars
characterize tion and the locale OF the
story are a series of contrasts.
Bosworth is first the dilletante and
waster, spending his nights in the
haunts OF San Francisco's Chinatown
Then he Is the outcast-the wanderer
in the mining camps and finally the
man regenerated-broug hack into
his own by the one chance in a thou
sand!
Heretofore, Hobart Bosworth has
been happily identified with sea
stories and It is a bit unusual to find
him in evening clothes-but variety
is the spice OF amusement and this
favorite of stage and screen offers a
brilliant example of his versatile tall
ent in his new vehicle.
Ethel Grey Terry. the popular Eng
lish actress, who In an amazingly
short time has won her way into the
hearts OF American theatergoers,
plays opposite the star.

Screens Greatest Comedian
In "The Kid" a Most Am
bilious Effort - "Silver
Horde" Comes to Moore s
Gardep-News and Gossip
of Movie World.

sencs, returns to the screen as star

OF the production is said to have been
in excess OF 81 900. 900.
While Charlie Chaplin has not
abandoned any OF the laughable
tricks that made him the most famous
funmaker in the world. he has demon
strated in ''The Kid" gifts as an
actor that will amaze the Capitals
theatergoers, for interlarded with the
scenes of exclusively comic content
are others threaded by q delicate
vein OF pathos that serves to accen-
tuate the fun. The combination Is
one that proves Chaplin a greater
genius than has ever heretofore been
suspected even by his most enthusi-
astic partisans.
The production is in every way one
upon which superlatives may be
showered. 1t has broken attendance
records in New York. Chicago. and all
other cities where shown. and has
taken prompt rank as one OF the
foremost releases of the decade.
Tho supplementary features OF the
bill for the current week will be
such as to coincide in spirit and In
pre-eminence with the major attrac-
tion and will embrace news. topical,
and musical contributions of note.
Despite the fact that "The Kid" is
the second of First Nationals big
Five super-specials and one Of the
most talked Of films of recent years.
the engagement at the Metropolitan
will positively be limited to single
week and the admission charges will
be at the regular scale.

CANNON THINKS NOISY
JAZZ IS PASSING AWAY

Thomas Joseph Cannon. the we'll
known director of the Palace Sym
phony Orchestra has just returned
from a weeks survey of music con-
ditions in New York city. He brought
back with him full orchestras of
practically every musical hit now
current in the metropolis, which will
be heard in the near future at Loew's
Palace.
Mr.. Cannon agrees with the general
belief that jazz is dying but he de-
clares 1t is only noisy jazz that is
on the decline. The element of syn
copation in music, however, Is more
popular than ever, he declares, though
1t is a softened. more melodius jazz,
made possible by the muting Of all
brass instruments and the addition
OF string tones, chiefly of the banjo.
The traps and the saxophone still
hold high place in popular music,
he asserts.

lar favorite on stage and screen for
many years. He was one Of the mo-
tion picture pioneers-one of the very
first Of the brilliant coterie of men
who wrote, directed, acted in and
distributed their own productions
1t was his influence that caused the
conversion OF Jack London to devo-
tion to the cinema and led the great
author to lend his influence to the
screen. Bosworth, incidentally. was
the first man to star in London's
works, all OF them well-remembered
motion picture classics.
1t was Bosworth, too, who induced
the widow Of Jack London. Chairman
X. London, to write for the screen.
The star IL noted for his educational
and pEopagandistic work for the up
