SCREEN STAR DELIKES
DIAMONDS-UH HUH!

No doubt the average person con-
ceives a mental picture of the aver
age feminine motion picture star as a
dazzling creature gayly bedecked with
flashing jewels. On the whole this
may not be far wrong in certain in
stances, but there is one who, while
dazzling as far as personal beauty Is
concerned. is most emphatically not
overloaded of gems. The case in mind
is Elaine Hammerstein, the Selznick
, screen star who is to appear at the
j Strand Theater all week beginning
Monday in her latest production en-
titled pleasure Seekers" the photo
dramatic attraction of the double
vaudeville and picture bill.
Miss Hammerstein says that her
complex nature admits of many
aversions, but her pet one Is the
sight of jewelry, particularly on
young girls.
"Of course" says she, 81 may be ABB
normal, but I don't see much beauty
in diamonds. When diamond rings
are worn on lovely hands they call
attention to the rings rather than the
hands, and when the stones are worn
on unlovely hands, they emphasize the
ugliness Of the hands and light them
up with particularly hard, cold
light.
"On the older women, who have
lost the bloom of youth, and the
sparkle that comes from joy and
zest in living, then an artificial spar
kle will pass, but youth shouldn't
be neutralized.
"This does not mean that an abso-
Lutte absence of jewelry is essential
ss an artistic creation of the lapi-
daries are placed in exactly the proper
place often enhances the beauty Of
the wearer or often attracts attention
away from a minor physical defect"
1t will be of interest therefore for
the patrons of the Strand Theater
VINO witness Miss Hammerstein's new
picture TO take note of the fact that
she practices what she breaches.

CRANDALL'S JUDGMENT
IS ENTIRELY JUSTIFIED

Harry NJ. Crandsll. owner OF the
Crandall theaters in Washington, has
again demonstrated the far-sighted-
ness OF his showmanship. The pre-
sentation of passion" at the Metro
politan Theater was looked upon as a
hazardous undertaking at the low
scale OF admission charges that pre-
walls. but Mr.. Crsndall was confident
that lovers OF the highest form OF art
the motion picture has attained would
respond to his efforts TO put within
their easy reach the greatest film ever
made. His faith has been more than
justified since the opening OF the en-
gagement.
The rumor that prices Will be re-
duced during the second week OF the
cord-breaking run at this theater

The second week OF the engagement
will be identical with the first in

ment by Jesse l.. Lasky nrst vice
president In charge OF production OF
the Famous Players-Lasky Corpora
tion. the colony OF literary students
there now includes Sir Gilbert Parker,
Elinor Glyn, and Edward Knoblock.
Mr.. Hopwood's four Broadway
dramas this season have elevated him
to the forefront OF present-day play
wrights, and IL was this noteworthy
achievement, backed by long record
OF theatrical hits. that led Mr.. Lssky
several weeks ago TO open the negoti-
ations that started him on a course
OF training In the technique OF mo-
ton picture production.
A native OF Cleveland, Ohio, Mr.
Hopwood completed his scholastic
education at the University of Michi-
gan. After a brief experience as re-
porter on the Cleveland Leader, he
brought out his first play, Clothes,
in conjunction with Claiming Pol
lock, which was produced at the Man
haitian Theater, New York. in Septem-
ber, 1905. He was successful from the
start among his early plays beins
This Woman and This Man" Seven
Day" written in collaboration with
Mary Roberts Rinehart and one OF the
biggest comedy hits OF the decade;
"Judy Forgot" and "Nobody's Widow
About five years ago he wrote "Fair
and Warmer" the ord-breaking
farce-comedy which the Selwyns pro-
duced and which Is stiIl being played
to crowded houses on the road. Last
season he registered in collaboration
with Wilson Collision two more
smashing comedy hits with "Up in
Mabers Room and "The Girl in tho
Limousine" both produced by A. ii.
Woods, and followed them with "The
Gold Diggers" for David Belasco. The
last-named play, now running In its
second season, is running close race

Night" written in collaboration with
Charles Andrews and produced by A.
II. Woods. and "The Bat" and Span

tion with Mary Roberts Rinehart and
produced by Wagenhals and Kemper.
This record OF four successful plays
running in New York simultaneously
is unequaled in the history OF the
American stage, the honors previously
