and circus are used. For this
production an entire circus was brought
to the movie lot at Los Angeles, Cal,
it is announced.
The cast Is peopled with pretty girls
in various kinds of skirts. The bathing
costume is also present. Prominent in
the cast are such funmakers as Polly
Moran, Chester Conklin and Alta Allen.
Movies OF this class are using beautiful
women as a background" for the
comedy antics of the funmakers. At
times, these comedy movies become
really gorgeous. Such films might be
called the comedy revue films because
so many people appear in them. 1T is
essentially a girl movie and the vogue
Of such screen entertainment appears to
be increasing.
The revue movie generally is spec
tacular and skirts" is no exception to
the rule. II will be remembered that
Ben Turpin probably was the first TO
successfully use the movie revue idea in
"A Small Town Idol"
1t will be noted that the scenic equip
ment for such movies generally is more
elaborate and costly than many dramatic
offerings Of the screen.
The bill at Mister Smiths this week
also includes a cartoon comedy and
Pathe News.

Margaret tells Ninette that her HUSBAND
has left her. Ninette overhears some one
telling Peter Nothard that Cavanagh mas
paid Mrs. Crawford to keep her, nearE

and emotionally well done. Miss Gish
will make the tears come to your eyes
when the fatherless babe refuses to smile

Mr.. Griffith can be relied upon TO en-
gage the right people to impersonate
small town characters. The small town

sips is masterpiece of obtaining types.
The scenes which win finger longer
In the memory of the theater- goer are
those depicting the rescue of Miss Gish
by Bartheimess during a terrific snow
storm. Here we have the realistic touch
of Griffith at its best. The storm RACES

breaks with our heroine on a big piece
of the ice. The ice floats toward a fall

LOCAL SINGERS APPEAR
IN NEW SONG IDEA.

The ALEXANDRA has hit upon a pleasing
method Of presenting song hits from mu
steal comedy successes,
Yesterday several Of the PRINCIPAL
numbers from Apple Blossoms" were
presented by Roy Sands and Frances
Johnson. Although the stage space at
this theater is limited, there was enough
space found to give a suggestion Of ap-
pie blossom time by the use of an apple
tree in bloom, fence and a bench.
Both numbers are included in the pro-
gram for this week. This is the ArSt
time IN my experience that movie
theater has attempted to work out the
musical comedy Idea in a condensed or
Loiled- down way.
The way the idea was received yester-
day indicates that as the Alhambra de-
velops 1t will have a pleasing and orig
lnal musical program idea.
II one has any doubt that Bebe Daniels
can not handle a comedy role with pleas
Ing effect, the only thing needed to re-
move that doubt Is to visit the Alhambra
this week where "One Wild Week" Is
being offered as the featured movie at
traction. The picture is not as wild" as
the title indicates. The comedy situa
lions have been well handled both by
Miss Daniels and the director. The sup
porting cast Is adequate.
Miss Daniels is cast as an innocent
child, called Pauline. Pauline is an heir
ess who has been carefully reared by a
spinster aunt. When she is eighteen
years of age, the family lawyer tells
Pauline that abe must wait a half year
to get her hands on a large estate. The
condition being that Pauline must be the
best sort Of a girl for that period. The
poor dear gets into a peck of trouble
when a pocketbook of another party is
found on her She is shipped" to q
correctional Institution for girls. Paul
inc turns out to be a "tomboy" in the
institution, She escapes Mt the right
moment to prove that she is innocent Of
"swiping" a pocketbook.

Ioncelt, wee, HABIT and all Of the crew
l have been asked If this movie has been
shown in this city before There seems
to be an impression that it has, but such
an idea is wrong. Experience" as a
movie is being shown for the first time
In indianapolis with Richard Barthelmess
as the star The stage version has been
In this city.
AS most theatergoers are familiar with
the story, 1t is unnecessary that l go
into detail. George F1txmaurice directed
the movie and he has done SO with much
intelligence and care. He has spent a
fortune, probably several of them, in turn
Ing out this movie
Fitxmaurice reflects his ability as a d.
rector In the famous cabaret scene. He
mas gone to the great expense Of intro
duclng a flying ballet. These sets are
gorgeous and are beauties. One is bound
TO be impressed with the complete de-
tail used by the director in developing
Ms scenes. Nothing Is half done In this
movie.
III is gratifying to observe that Rich
ara Barthelmess Is not zone directed
man, meaning by that that Barthelmess
can DO some real acting without the aid
or direction of Griffith. BartheImess ex
hioits some splendid character ability as
Youth. 1t is evident that he has given
much study to the role His Youth is
finished product. always have con-
tended that an actor must study his
movie part as carefully as any stage
actor. That's the trouble with lots OF
the movies today because the actor has
failed to put brains" In his movie act
ing. You will be delighted with the
careful and sincere work of Barthelmess
in this movie.
Marjorie Dsw plays opposits the Youth
or Mr.. Barthelmess. Her role is that of
Love, and IL is pleasing study In sim
plieity. Nita Naldi as Temptation will
make you sit up and take notice. Her
work ranks in strength with that done
by Barthelmess. The work of LiIvan

CHANGE OF POLICY
ANNOUNCED AT THE ISIS.

Since the Alhsmbrs has become a week $
run house with bills changed only on
Sundays, the Isis now becomes a twice
week change house. Beginning this
week, the movie bills at the Isis will
be changed on Sundays and Thursdays.
Previously the Isis has held pictures
for a week run and in some instances
even a run of two weeks has been reg
istered for some movies.
The first movie under the split week
policy to be offered at the Isis is Dus-
tin Farnum in THE Primal Law" by E.
Floyd sheldon. Supplementary subjects
include a PriZma color movie and Liter
airy Digest
Farnum in The Primal Law is seen
as a western cowpuncher, a role which
IS not foreign to him. 1t is romantic in
theme with the usual adventure of the
plains.
Dustin Farnum was seen on the stage
with Chauncey olcott at one timo and it
will be remembered that he was starred

Rivalry with Metropolitan.
Oscar Hammerstein opened the Man
haitian Opera House in 1906. He had
planned the great structure for pro-
duction of opera in English at popular
prices, but before the building was
completed changed his mind and pre-
sented grand opera company of
artists of the FIRST rank in open rivalry
with the long established Metropolitan
Opera House.
Tho building is one of the most
sumptuously fitted in America. The
interior is modern French. The main
ceiling Is known among artists as one
of the finest pieces of interior dccora-
ton in the country.
As sole manager of the undertaking
Mr.. Hammerstein displayed courage
and enterprise, but when competition
was introduced the salaries of artists
scared and at the conclusion Of his
fourth season Hammerstein was at the
end of his resources. lie sold his in
terests to the metropolitan Opera Com
pany for $2o0o,O0O. agreeing at the
same time not to resnter the field of
grand opera for ten years II was
