NEW YORK LIFE PICTURED IN
SENSATIONAL MELoDRAMA

New York life to the very core Is
the essence Of the famous Fox melo
drama, "While New York Sleeps,
which will be shown at the Sugp
theatre Monday and Tuesday
There is so much to be said in
favor of this remarkable picture that
much will have to go unsaid. Space
does not permit an extensive review
but there are certain points i'm con
nection with its construction and ex-
ecution that cannot, with justice to
the producers, 20 unmentioned.
In the first place. Director Charles
J. .Brabin, who staged the picture,
has hit upon the unusual and ex-
tremely effective method of telling
his story in three parts Three liv-
ing chapters from the Book of Fate
are told with terrific punch and
heart interest. So entangled do the
threads Of the plot become in the
comparatively short period of time
allowed each episode that a logical
announcement, from the spectators
viewpoint, seems well-nigh impossi-
Bile. And yet Director Brabin does
it-with a dexterity that is so super.
ior to other plays of this kind as to
put this production in a distinct class
of its own.
Among the unusual points Of in
terest with which the picture is ov-
erflowing is a gorgeous scene from
Florenz ziegfield's Midnight Frolic
show, exquisite scenes from the Cafe
Palais Royal and a thrilling pistol
battle between the New York police
and a band of river thieves, which
occurs on East river within the sha-
dow of the Brooklyn bridge Inter-
esting glimpses of New York's Gay
White Way" and some excellent
shots of the famous New York sky
line serve as an atmospheric back
ground for the action.
The cast is composed of Estelle
Taylor, Marc MacDermott, and Earl
Metcalf.

Fox Offers New Twain
Picture Based ON Story
OF Connecticut Yankee

"a Connecticut Yankee at King Ar
thurs Court" William Fox's picturiza-
ton Of Mark Twains satirical story,
will open an indefinite engagement at
the Selwyn Theater Monday night.
If Mark Twains book was humorous,
then imagine the transporting of q
modern man, an inventor, back to the
year 52S. Place him in a commanding
position in King Arthurs court, where
he puts his Yankee genius to work
dealing with the trick Merlin, the ma
gician; the jealous Sagramore, the con-
fiding King Arthur, the dangerous
Queen Morgan LIE Fay and the loving
Sandy. Give him the wherewith to con-
celve tin lizzie, motorcycles, upon
which to transport his armor-clad
knights; telephones to fool the in
triguers; surround him with the medi-
cval frailties of the day, then contrast
this modern man and his slangy speech
time and you have the makings Of the
story,
For the production of "a Connecticut
Yankee" of which the film people have
abbreviated the title, Mr.. Fox spared
nothing
Palaces were built near Los Angeles,
in the Santa Susanna district, and ali
the essentials for the building trans
ported by truck. Three freight cars
full Of antique and modern trappings.
700 suits of armor and 500 motorcycles
were few incidents of the production.

Chorus Girls May Become
Theater Managers, and
WillardMack WillProve It

Willard Mack's new dramatic schc oil,
when opened at the Lexington Thcater,
will provide special advantages for the
advancement of members of the chorus.
The author-actor sees no reason why
any ambitious girl or boy should re-
main long in the ranks Of the chorus
and proposes to teach them not only
the art Of acting, but how to become
competent stage managers, directors
and electrical experts.
Quite frequently there is literary
ability hidden in the rows of the
chorus, and Mack expects to recruit
some of these embryo authors and in
struct them in the knack of writing
successful plays. The new school Will
be open only for members Of the thea
ttrlcal profession, as 1t is Mack's hope,
.ny means of education, to reduce the
large number of actors and actresses
who are now haunting managers Of
fices for engagements to act when
these positions are very scarce.
with a knowledge of other depart
ments of the theater, Mack figures
this number could be materially re-
duced, as there are always jobs for
capable hands in the mechanical
lines of Broadway show.
The originator of the new idea has
had many years intimate connection
with the stage as author, actor and
producer. Mack broke all speed rec
ords when he wrote and staged the
produced Smooth as Silk" his latest
play, within one week. Mack has an
pointed staff of skilled assistants,
but the author-actor will personally
take charge of the various classes
every day, except when it becomes nee
essary for him to appear in matinees.

Mrs. Moody's Synopsis
Of "The Faith HeaIer''

One OF the briefest synopsis of a
play with tremendous theme is that
which Mrs. William Vaughn Moody,
widow of the American playwright,
wrote of "The Faith Healer"-the play
which is to be presented in film ver-
sion at the Criterion Theater for an
extended engagement, beginning Sum
day. March ID. Mrs. Moody, in coop
Grafton with q. Wall Covington ard
Milton Sills, wrote the scenario from
which George Melford directed the pro-
ducton.
Mrs. Moody's synopsis is less than a
hundred words in length.
"Michaelis, the faith healer. has
dedicated his life to the spiritual mis-
sion Of healing the sick.
He falls in love and believes he
must renounce either his mission or
his love.
"Hesitating in his choice he seems to
lose his healing power. To restore him
to his power the girl he loves confesses
to HIM that she is unworthy
"As consequence of her remorse
she perceives that his mission must in
clude the healing of sin as we'll as sick
ness. This brings them both to the
understanding that God is love and
enables him 20 resume his work"
Milton Sills plays the role Of
Michaelis and Ann Forrest has the
part of the girl. Rhoda.

Nun Writes Non-Religious'
Story Which Ballin Will
Produce on Screen Here

Instead Of a single production to
follow EAST Lynne" Hugo Ballin an
nounces two.
The first is a story written directly
for the screen, entitled ave Maria"
Following this will come a picturiza-
ton of Charlotte Bronte novel, "Jane
Eyre" both Of which, like east
Lynne" will be distributed by Hodkin-
son. Mabel Ballin will, Of course, play
the principal feminine role in the new
picture, and will create for tho first
time on the screen the complex and
fascinating character of Jane Eyre.
Certain preliminary scenes in the
latter already have been photographed d
and the production will be completed
when the weather permits, imme ediately
following "Ave Maria"
Hugo Balin considers this story by
far the most vital and moving narrative
he has ever read solely for screen pur-
poses. The character of the story the
identity of the author, the crcum-
stances under which it was written and
the manner it came into Ballin's posses
sion invest it with uncommon interest,
he says. 1t is the work of nun, now
deceased. Sister Eileen Brady, of the
Sisters of st. Dominick.
Instead of a religious" story as
might be expected, the author narrates
a powerful drama of the secular world
her men and women are people of flesh
and blood and passion; their problems
those of real men and women.
On the death of Sister Eileen the
manuscript of "Ave Maria" reverted to
the Church, and in interviewing a priest
on the subject of ecclesiastical detail for
a contemplated production, the story
was given to Hugo BALM for perusal
and possible use. That it proved q
ind was as much surprise to the
priest as it was to the producer.

Fred Stones Players Are
With Him Throughout
Long, Successful Years

Theatrical productions, because of
their very nature. with constant de-
mand for innovation and novelty. gen
orally arc considered field where long
associations are not to be expected.
But Fred Stone, who is appearing in
"Tip-Top," at the Globe Theater, seems
to have established a precedent by
surrounding himself season after sea-
son with people who have ridden with
him to success in his previous produc-
tions. With Stone in 'sTip-Top" at
present are twentythree people who
have been in other Fred Stone shows;
Truly remarkable record when it is
considered that all Fred Stone produc-
tions are held together for three sea-
sons-one in New York and two on
tour.
Arthur Houghton, business manager
of the Fred Stone company, has been
with Stone twelve seasons, eleven Of
them consecutively. William Kerschell.
Stones dresser, has been with him
eighteen seasons. William Macuuinn
has conducted the orchestras which
play for the Stone shows a similar pc
riod. Charles Mast has held the posi-
ton of stage manager more than ten
years.
OF the performers with Stone. the
Six Brown Brothers have been with
him seven seasons, three years each
in "Chin Chin and slack O. Lantern"
and the present season in "Tip-Top."
Oscar Ragland and Roy Hoyer have
been with the last two productions.
Miss Violet Zell, who is Stones part
ner in his acrobatic dances, has danced
with Stone eleven seasons, and Miss
Teresa danced with Stone through
"Chin Chin" and Jack o. Lantern -
as we'll as "Tip-Top." Incidentally,
both Miss Valerie and Miss Zell have
worked their way up from the chorus.
Chorus girls are said to average
twenty three weeks work season.
But in "Tip-Top" there are nine girls
who have been with Stone four or
more seasons, averaging more than
thirty-five weeks each.

denut as a spear carrier in Richard
Mansfield's production of Julius

His next engagement was with the
late Clara Bloodgood in "The Girl With
the Green Eyes" This was followed by
two seasons with Francis Wilson in

A tour with Lillian Russell in "The

in order.
In The Call of the North" with
Robert Edeson, Mr.. Mitchell played the
role of the Rev. Archibald Crane. and
the following year he went back to Miss
Elliott and toured in "The Chaperon"
Mr.. Mitchell was invited to join the
Cohan & Harris forces, where he was
featured. The type of plays provided
Tor him gave him an opportunity to de-
velop his type of characte rization.
which is peculiarly individual.
THE Fortune Hunter" gave him an
excellent role, which he made the most
Of. This was his first big success, and
was followed by Get Rich Quick Wal
lingford," in which he created the hu-
morous role of Eddie Lamb, the hotel
clerk. Following this he achieved a
success in Belasco's production of
Years of Discretion"
In ut Pays to Advertise" Mr.. Mitch
ell was cast in the role of Dodney Mar
tin, and he played in this for two sea-
sons. Then came the role that really
made him-that Of John Paul Bart in
"A Tailor Made Man" This was a
character creation long to be remem-
bered, and it is the character which
Mr' Mitchell says he likes the best of
any in which he ever appeared.
IN "The Champion" his present We
hlcic, Sam II. Harris has provided him
with another characteristic role, that
OF Gunboat Williams, the lightweight t
champion of the world, which is quito
as unusual and distinctive as that of
the tailor who felt himself to be man
of destiuu
