liam S. Harts new Paramount picture

The craggy heights where the out

In the development OF the story.
The vast arena where a real West

LOEW'S PALACE
"a Message From Mars"

Bert Lytell will be seen at Loew's
Palace Theatcr for the full week be-
ginning tomorrow afternoon In the
screen production Of "A Message
From Mars" adapted from the stage
play by Richard Ganthoney.
In this production Mr.. Lytell is
cast In a role of commanding force,
the display of his rich mimetic gifts.
The story itself is fantastic through
out, and its mixture of romance and
reality, with a deep undertone OF mys-
terry and the supernatural. makes II
an appealing picture.
Lytell appears as an aristocratfc
gentleman OF London, notable for his
selfish complacency and his indiffer-
ence to the wishes of others. Although
beloved by a beautiful girl. his ward.
he is in danger OF losing her through
his selfishness. In q dream, a celes-
tial visitor appears and announces
that he Is a messenger from Mars,
commissioned to reform the most
selfish man on earth.
From this point onward. the dra-
matte tension becomes Irresistible. In
a series Of episodes one witnesses the
reformation of the selfish man
through the exercise of a mysterious
power by the celestial visitor, who
strips the Londoner, little by little. of
his blindness to the wants of others,
his SNUG complacency and his abiding
selflshness. In the end the man
awakens, stirred to the depths by his
dream. In the subsequent action, the
fruits OF the reformation are re-
vealed.
Ray Dean is seen as the girl whose
romance was almost blighted by her
flance's selfishness. and others ap-
pearing in tho cast are Maud Milton.
Alphonz Either, Gordon Ash, Leonard
Nude, Mary Louise Benton. Frank
Currier. and George SPHINX.
The added attraction will be the
latest comedy production for Buster
Keaton, entitled ''Neighbors." A SYM
phonic overture and short-laugh
screen productions complete the bill.

names of the stage that have been
associated with 1t, but primarily be-
cause Of it's wholesomeness Only
what is straightforward and clean

message From Mars'' Required
800 Double Exposures in Filming

More than 800 double exposures. a
record number in the production Of
any motion picture, were made in
"A Message From Mars" Bert Ly-
tells new Maxwell Karger production
for Metro, which will be the feature
attraction at Loew's Palace tomorrow
and all week.
Announcement OF this unprecedent-
ed amount of vision scenes came from
the Metro home offices in New York
as soon as the camera work on "a
Message From Mars" made in the
Sixty-frst street studios of this pro-
ducing corporation, virtually was
completed.
The setting OF a record of this sort
came from no premeditation on the
part OF the director of the picture,
Maxwell Karger. but was occasioned
by the peculiar character of the story
itself. The story relates the happen
ings of one Horace Parker. a selfish
young scientist who is visited in
dream by a messenger from the
planet Mars
The fantastic order OF this theme
made necessary the employment of
some trick photography that would
render II convincing, and after ma
ture deliberation and consultation
with Mr.. Lytell, the star. Maxwell
Karger. who is personally directing
the picture, decided that the double
exposure would need to be employed
in order to present the Martian mes
senger in a transparent form.
A system OF double exposures was
devised, therefore, whereby the mes
senger from the planet Mars would at
all times be transparent, and to ac-
complish this II was necessary to per-
feet a method of counting which
would time each of the separate
takes" in this manner each scene
in which Horace Parker and the mes
senger from Mars appeared had to be
taken twice and from exactly the
same position, once with Parker alone
acting through his scene and again
with the messenger alone before
curtain of black velvet.
The superimposition OF one mega
tive on the other in this manner pro-
duced a picture which showed the
two characters playing opposite with
the body OF one. the Martian inhabit-
ant, so transparent that objects
could be discerned through it This
impaired an appearance of unreality
to the messenger from Mars, which
was regarded by Mr.. karger and Mr..
Lytell as the end to be attained.
The story OF the play treats of the
conversion of Parker by the messen-
ger from Mars through the latter's
taking him out into the streets OF the
oity of London at night and showing
him the wealth of the great metropo-
lis in contrast to the destitution and
poverty of the East End. SO extern
sively does the messenger from Mars
enter into the story of the play, that
the scenes in which he appeared with
Mr.. Lytell, the star, occasioned the
taking of over 300 double exposures.

DEATH OF MOVIE STAR
RUINS INCOMPLETE film
Beatrice Dominguez Had Ap-
peared in 4 of 15-Part Serial.

The life OF the motion picture pro-
ducer is not always all profits and
no worry. There are scores OF situ-
ations that may arise at any time
that spell untold expense for him
expense that could not be anticipat-
ed. The death OF a prominent player
during the making OF a fiye-reeler is
bad enough complication-and IL
has happened in several instances.
But the Universal studios are facing
an even greater complication, in the
sudden death last week of Beatrice
Dominguez.
Four episodes of n nfteen-instal-
ment serial. The White Horseman."
had been filmed when Miss Domin-
guez was taken i'll. While she did
not take the lead, her role was of
major Importance and will necessi-
tate sweeping changes in the story
and the probable re-taking of most
of the four chapters in which she
appeared.
Miss Dominguez was noted as the
most beautiful Spanish-type actress
on the American screen. Just prior
to her Universal engagement she
worked in the epochaI film, The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse, based
on Ibanez's novel of the same name,
having the role OF the Argentine
dancer. 1t WAS as a Spanish dancer
that she gained her introduction to
the studios. She first came to the
attention OF filmdom as La Belle
Seville. at the San Diego Exposition.
She will be remembered as the
exotic tropical beauty in Under
Crimson Skies" with Elmo Lincoln
as the Peruvian cabaret singer and
dancer in THE Fire Cat" with Edith
Roberts. and as the fearless Indian
maiden in the serial. The Moon Rid
ers."
She had spent much OF her life in
Central and South America and was
considered a perfect Castilian type.

LEADER
SIf Only JIM

IF Only JIM" a Universal screen
adaptation Of "Bruvver Jim's Baby."
tho story by Philip v. Mighels, will
be the principal attraction at the
Leader Theater starting tomorrow at
p. m.
In this film Harry Carey has a great
opportunity to portray likable and
dramatic role with the human" touch
for which he is famous. The story
shows the star as a hanger-on at a
mining camp. He Is lazy and the oo-
ject of scorn for his uselessness. Par
ticularly Is he scorned by Dot Denni-
ham. the pretty postmistress. Driven
TO a rabbit-shooting expedition be-
cause his credit at the store Is
stopped. Jim stumbles into a baby
boy, deserted by the Indians. He takes
him to raise, to the indignation of Dot
and the agitation of Borealis.
From then on Jim Golden snaps out
of his lethargy and makes the town
sit up and take notice. Dramatic
situations follow one another until
the climax, which Is unique. In ad-
dition to this special feature, q Parn-
mount Mack Sennett comedy will
complete the bill, starring Ben Tut
pin. Charles Lynn and Alice Lake in
East Lynn" with variations.

CRANDALL'S METROPOLITAN
4The DeYiL.o

George Arliss. one of the most dis
tinguished actors on the English
speaking stage. will make his Wash
ington debut as a star OF the screen
in Franz Molnar's celebrated play,
"The Devil" at CrandalPs Metropoli-
tan Theater tomorrow afternoon.
~The DeviT' is one of Mr.. Arliss'
most sensational stage successes. His
impersonation of DR.. Muller, the gem
ial, suave, polished gentleman, who
was in reality a devil incarnate, was
recognized as a masterpiece. 1t is
this character which Mr.. Arliss has
enlarged upon in the camera version
of the drama. Not alone Is this sub
ject noteworthy for the splendid work
contributed to it by the star, but al
most equally for the characterizations
offered by those in the supporting
parts. Sylvia Dreamer. Lucy Cotton.
Edmund Lowe. Roland Bottomley and
Mrs. Arliss all appear to advantage.
Although this is Mr.. Arliss' first ap-
pearance in silent drama his art has
been adapted to the requirements Of
the new form of expression without
the loss OF a bit of it's power to enlist
the spectators interest and to hold
him charmed.

for the week include a new Tooncr-
willie comedy. "The bonneville Fol-
