! stance Talmadge's latest release
through Associated First National
Pictures. Inc. which opened at
the Strand theatre Monday night
for a three day engagement.
| As Resale Wayne. Miss Tai
madge does some of the finest act

her excellent opportunities to reg
lister almost the entire gamut of
human emotions. and especially
those which can in any way he

Harrison Ford. as Reginald

in the original stage play, and a

Remarkable Picture at Ditmas.

Twelve stellar players and a sup
porting cast of unrivalled quality
that's the record set by Cecil b. De
Miles latest Paramount master
piece THE Affairs of Anatol" at
the Ditmas theatre. The roster reads
like screendom's who's who. The
phrase 'all-star cast" is a much
abused one but it adequately de-
scribes a cast that includes Wallace
Reid, famous Paramount star;
Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe
Daniels, Monte Blue, Wanda Haw-
ley, Theodore Roberts. Agnes Ayes,
Theodore Kosloff. Polly Moran,
Raymond Hatton and Julia Faye.
Nothing like this asst in the way
of aggregate talent has ever been
assembled before. The drawing
power of almost any of the names
on the roll has been sufficient to
awaken the interest of the discrimi-
mating public. Here. for the first
time. they are appearing in a single
production under the direction of a
master producer-Cecil b. DeMille.
THE Affairs of Anatol' "a writ
ten by jeanne Macpherson, author
of many notable Cecil b. DeMille
productions. Her story was sugges-
ted by Arthur. Schnitzler's scintilla-
ting comedy OF the same name.
The same quality that is featured
in the cast of principals and in the
authorship has been carried through
every phrase of production work.
The supporting cast includes such
capable actors as Guy Oliver,
Charles Ogle. Clarence Geldart.
Maude Wayne. Ruth Miller. Will
lam Boyd, Lucien Littlefield and
others. The beautiful settings are
the work of Paul Tribe, famous
French artist, designer and decora-
tor.
Also a wonderful Harold Lloyd.

This is the play. conceded by all
to be the greatest success in years.
This is the play about which there
has been more discussion than any
other play produced in a genera

THE Bat" here with a re-
markable record for popularity. 1t
has played for more than a ear at
the Morosco theatre, New York,

existing theatrical record in Chi

Those are facts to ~conjure with.
Self praise, however, as the say

For that reason the management
defers its own judgment of THE

"Threc Muskcteers" ut Crescent
Again King Louis XIII holds
sway! Not in France this time,
however, but at the Crescent thea
tire, where Douglas Fairbanks new
picture, The Three Musketeers." is
playing.
Students of history as well as stu
dents of literature, especially wor
shippers at the shrine of Alexander
Dumas, will get a great deal of sat
isfaction put of this picture, dealing
as il does with the history of the
French monarchy during the reign
of Louis XIII.
No more geo production has
ever been presented on the screen
than the Fairbanks version of Du-
mas most popular novel. Few
liberties have been taken with the
story. and we are told that what
might be conceived by some to be
interpretations are but authentic ad-
ditions from the Memoirs of OAR
tagnan which is said to be the orig
:nal source from which Dumas op-
tanned the material for his immor-
tai story.
The screen adaptation Of this
gripping film is attributed to Ed
ward Knoblock. n of the most
successful of our p~resent-day play
wrights. He has prepared a vehicle
which preserves all Of the dramatic
qualities Of the book and at the
same time gives Douglas Fairbanks
the opportunity to do the greatest
work of his career AS D'Artagnan
the impulsive, fighting Gascon. who
dared to cross Richelieu the power
behind the throne of France. we see
a new Fairbanks. He brings to this
role all of the dash that 1t deserves.
and at the same time imbues the
character with human qualities that
will establish the part as a piece of
classic acting on the screen.

GAS, LIGHT AND CAR RAISE
is ASKED FOR LYNCHBURG
May II Set by State Corporation
Commission to Pass Upon Appli-
catiOn-ComDany Alleges Loss.

The Lynchburg Traction and Light
Co. yesterday filed application with
state Corporation Commission for an
increase in its gas, electricity and
street car rates. The. commiss ion
will take the application under con-
Sheraton and pass on it May IL.
The l.ynchburg company applied for
an increase In its gas rates from Sl.30
u thousand feet TO Sl.T5 Il thousand
feet. This is the minimum rate
asked. IL asked that the rate be
based on the amount used by the con-
sumner.
An increase in the ciectric lighting
rate Of about ] cent Il kilowatl hour
~ asked This would make the rate
about the same as that In Richmond.
The company applied for AN in
crease in the street car fare from D
to cents. The Corporation Commits
sion has Jurisdiction only over the
suburban division of the line, and the
decision of the City Council of Lynch
burg will decide the increase. IL it
refuses the cent increase. the com
mission viii probably be asked to
make the suburban fare cents. This
would be necessary TO bear the loss
which ii is claimed the traction COM
pany would sustain through the con-
tinuancc of the 5-ccnt fare in the
city.
