"Behind The Door"
Dixie Thursday
Hobart Bosworth Supported BY
Strong Cast I'm His Latest
Thrilling Picture.

Battleship and submarine scenes
both exterior and interior, will be
technically correct in the Thomas
II. Ince special production, Behind
the Door," starring Hobart Bosworth
which comes to the Dixie Theatre
Tor one day commencing next Thurs
day as a Paramount-Artcraft picture.
This was assured when Director
Irwin Willatt enlisted the services
of Lieutenant John Cook from the
HIS at the submarine base at San
Pedro, Cal, to guide him through
the nautical sets. Mr.. Cook APP
proved all the interior boat sets
before they were photographed and
he was with Mr.. Willatt on the bat
tleships and on the submarine while
making the exteriors, so that every
movement was in strict accordance
with naval discipline.
Lieutenant Cook also directed the
submarine while the action pictures
We're being taken. In doing this he
performed a remarkable feat. 1t
was desired to get a picture of Ros-
worth on the deck of the submarine
submerged. To get the proper angle
the cameras had to be placed on top
of the coming tower. Lieutenant
Cook was asked to submerge the
boat, but to stop as close to- the
floor of the coming tower as pos
siple, that the cameramen should
not be drowned or their instruments
ruined.
The officer submerged the boat
until the water was within an inch
of the coming tower floor and
stopped. Mr. Bosworth was, OF
course, compelled to swim to a near
by rescue boat. Director Willatt
didn't even get his feet wet and
asserts Lieutenant Cook is a com
plete master of his submarine. Jane
Novak and fine cast of players
appear in Mr.. Bosworths support

QUEEN Moore in "The
Chicken in the Case"
Popular Screen Artist to be Seen AT
The Dixie Wednesday i'm
New Selznick.

| Victor Herman, the Selznick
director, declares that the next time
he encounters a story that calls for
chickens, the feathere kind, he is
going to substitute ducks or geese,
for they at least will follow their
| leader. The reason for Mr.. Heer-
| mans antipathy to this particular
species of feathere biped may be
| traced back to the manuscript Of
Mr.. Heermans story, THE Chicken
in the Case" which, with owen
Moore starred, will be seen at the
Dixie Theatre next Wednesday, June
25th, for which Sarah Y. Mason,
who prepared the continuity of
working script" wrote the follow
ing:
Scene 67-,Shot toward barn door.
Show Steve and Percy shooing chick
ems into barn; something scares
chickens, and they fly in all direc-
tons; wild disarray; Steve aid
Percy corral chickens again and
drive them through door into barn.
Mr.. Herman, the director, Mr.
Moore, the star, and Mr.. Nelson
and Miss Sampson, the other play
ers in the scene, complacently pre-
pared to proceed. Everything went
lovely, but the white leghorns who
were the chickens in the case"
must have read Miss Mason's manu-
script because they followed out in
structions to the letter-especially
the part where the script reads
they fly in all directors-wild dis
array'--for at this point the tempe
ramental hens scattered to all points
of the compass, especially those out
of range of the camera. Before
they could be gathered together
again, 1t took not only the combined
efforts of Messrs Moore and Nelson
but also the director, camera man
and everybody else in sight who
could be Communicated to assist
in the roundup of the fractions
fowls.
The sun was going down and
Director Heerman's temper was ris-
ing when the scene which occupies
less than a minute to show on the
screen, was completed after nearly
three hours strenuous work.
More Epigrams From
Owen Moore.
owen Moore who is appearing in
the Selznick picture, The Chicken
in the Case" at the Dixie Theatre,
gets off the following epigrams
THE Lord took a hundred years
to make an oak, but only two
months to make squash"
"One-half of the world doesn't
know where the other half gets its
liquor"
Whats become of the old-fash-
Toned girl who used to anxiously
inquire, "Are my skirts dragging?"

Christie Comedy
At Dixie Tuesday

Effectiveness of the Christie pol
icy of making the story and the
production the main thing and then
selecting from his host of players
| those especially fitted for the parts
has never been better exemplified
than in Dining Room, Kitchen and
Sink which comes to the Dixie
Theatre Tuesday, June 2Sth.
1t proves, too, that Christie is
willing to give added measure when
the occasion demands, for in this
picture, two of the players who are
usually featured separately appear
Fay Tincher and Eddie Barry. In
all of the two-reelers there are us
ually four or five noted players, but
this one furnishes extra good meas
ure because the story happened to
demand just those types.
According to advance reports,
Dining Room, Kitchen and Sink" is
one of the cleverst farces that the
season has seen. 1t deals with the
adventures of a stranded burlesque
show who land from a freight car
in a town where the star happens
to have a rich uncle. They go to
visit him just as he and his wife
are leaving for a trip, but he gives
them the privilege OF the house All
goes well until a couple of crooks
decide to make a haul while the
owners are away, and with the ar
rival of a second uncle and aunt.
Naturally for such a role as the
star of a burlesque show, Fay
Tincher would be picked as the
ideal type. Her saucy manner and
quick actions suit her for just such
roles. SO there was no trouble in
making this selection. But when
Christie came to examine the script
closer he found that the crook type
could be filled properly by only one
of his players and that was Eddie
Barry. The fact that Barry was
scheduled to begin work on another
picture in which he was to be feat
ured didn't worry Christie bit
He put him in this along with Miss
Tincher and all of the Follies Girls.
I'VE are building our pictures,
he says, 'for their audience value.

1t is great pity that former Governor Dunno
of Illinois saw fit to announce hostility to the Ku
Kux as the motive for the organization of his pro-
posed National Unity Council, designed, as he
declares, to promote harmony and good feeling
among all classes. races and religions in America.
Direct antagonism to any other organization is out
Of tune with the declared purposes of what might
be most excellent institution.
If there is any enc thing the world needs today
more than anything else, it is harmony and good
feeling or in other words, wide and generous

Practically every reformer starts cut with the
assumption that somebody, some race, Or
ganization, or some church, must be crushed as

We have almost lost our grip CT the biggest of
all the facts CT civilization, namely, that the men
who think different things, hold different views,
speak different languages or belong to different
classes are Just as human just as honest, and prob
ably just about as near right as ourselves Men
can not be made happy virtuous or wise by com

An organization based upon worldwide har-
mcny could perform priceless service provided it

sess something far deeper than mere opposition to
some ether organization. 1t would have to en-
brace in It's membership on equal terms, Christians
and pagans Catholics and Protestants, Irishmen
and Englishmen. Jews and Gentes, Socialists and
stand patters and every shade of moral, political
and economic belief. And its members would have
to consent to disagree peaceaby, each holding to
his convictions and, at the same time, standing by
the right of the opposite class to assert its con-
vctions. The lion and the lamb would have 10

noring the points of difference. 1t could help to
substitute genuine friendship for that arrangement
which is the basis of most of our strife. 1t could
make the American people acquainted with each

Daily Poem
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

(Joseph kronthaD
In speaking of ii person S faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
II we have nothing else 10 do
But talk of those who sin,
tbs better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has
The old as well as young?
Perhaps we may, for aught we know
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan
And find it works fu we'll;
To try my own defects to cure
Before OF others tell;
And though | sometimes hope to lie
No worse than some | know,
Ny own shortcomings bid ME let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember curses sometimes like
Our chickens "roost at home
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.
