Lois Wilson's Film Role
/ Created by Maude Adams
Photoplay Star Was Awed But Ambitious in
Assuming Part in Barrie Picture.

Just what are the feelings and
thoughts of a screen player when
she begins her work Of interpreting
on the screen a part that has been
played with great success on the
legitimate stage by one Of the
greatest actresses of modern times,
Lois Wilson was asked during the
filming Of What Every Woman
Knows" William De Miles version
Of the famous Barrie play, at Loew's
Columbia today.
In answering your question, she
began, Il can best explain my feel
ings in regard TO my part in this
picture by asking you another and
yet very similar question. Suppose.
she oueried, that you were an en-
gineer: and suppose that one OF
the worlds greatest engineers had
built a bridge bridge that was
both beautiful and strong. and the
building of which involved hun
dreds of engineering problems Of
the most dificult nature and taxed
the skill OF the great engineer to the
utmost. And suppose you stood and
work of a master craftsman. And
then someone came to you and told
you that they wanted you to build
a bridge just like that one-just
as big. just as strong and just as
beautiful? How would you feel?
You would realize that this was
one Of the greatest opportuEties
OF your lifetime. and doubtless you
twould eagerly grasp the opportu-
nifty and accept the commission.
But you would fully realize that TO
do a work as great as that which
lhad been done by one OF the great
est, you would have to put into
your work every ounce OF your
skill, knowledge and strength. You
would begin to study and TO toll and
to spare no energy in your great
work. You would know that your
bridge must be just as big and
strong and beautiful as the model
which had been set UP before you
and that you would be doubly con-
demned for any shortcomings oil
failures in the construction.

Sailors WhistLed

The company worked out of Cata-

waiting for the sunlight the COM

with the sun beaming benevolently
upon them. They sailed thirty miles
out at sea and then came a sudden
calm.

Breeskin Arranges
Real Music Program
For Featured Film,

Music promises to rival the

Leo Ditrichstein with a most popu-
lar vehicle for several seasons, VIII
begin. Something new and novel
has been arranged by Daniel
Breeskin. conductor of the Rialto
Symphony Orchestra for the de-
lectation of Washington theater
patrons and lovers Of melody dur
ing the Offering.
This surprise comes in the form
Of a musical prologue. By this Mr..
Breeskin says he does not mean
the regular program overture or a
special interpretative overture. but
exactly what the term conveys, q
descriptive prologue, staged exactly
as the concerts are given weekly
in this city by some of the worlds
greatest artists.
Two principals will appear on
the stage during the prologue, Mr..
Breeskin, violinist, and Mr.. Robert
Bond Gotta, pianist. True to its
title, the opening scenes Of the pic
ture show a concert in progress
and it therefore lends itself readily
to Mr.. Breeskin's idea, which Is
simply that of a real concert pre-
vious to the SHOWING in the course
of which he win give as q violin
solo with piano accompaniment
Drdlas Souvenir" the popular
number from Apple Blossoms"
You Are Free" being the encore
selection. Following the concert
proper the picture will open, show
ing the celebrated maestro at the
plano playing the Liszt 'Liebes-
traum," which selection Mr.. Gotta,
who will have remained on the
stage. will give as a piano solo dur
ing the scene.
Both Mr.. Breeskin and Mr.. Gotta
are recognised throughout the city
as masters of their respective in
struments and the offering should
not only prove to be a most popu-
lar one but at the same time should
mark another milestone in the ad-
vancement of the picture and good
music in amusement circles.

The tabloid revue. however, has
reached the limit of practicability in

are getting $4,000 a week. and others
$2,500-the former amount, 1t ap-
