Benefit for Boys Club
AT Hippodrome Tonight
To Be Gala Performance

The bill for the big benefit for the
Boys Club of New York, to be given
tonight at the Hippodrome, reads like
the roster of the whole theatrical pro-
fession, 30 widespread and so deep is
the interest stimulated by this insti-
tuition
The Boys Club is located at 161 Ave-
nue. and occupies an eight-story
building. 1t began in 1876, in an old
basement in which seven boys gathered.
To-day the club, with its rapidly grow
ing membership OF more than seven
thousand, is the feature of the Gas
House District, and is charging it's
activities as fast as its funds will per-
NIT. 1t is the one great agency that
stands between the boy and the evils
Of the street.
Among its alumni~it numbers three
judges, four aldermen, two Assem- bly,
men, one Congressman and hundreds
Of successful professional and business
men. The work that is now carried on
includes classes Of many sorts. all
kinds Of physical training and a sum-
mer camp. The club is supported by
contributions and there is invariably a
deficit, on account of increasing de-
mands for entrance.
Hence this gala testimonial perform
ance.
One of the most interesting numbers
on the program, to the youthful mind,
will be the photographing of scene
by D. w. Griffith for his new picture,
Dream Street." on the stage of the
Hippodrome, with ell the movie equip
ment in full view.
Others who will appear are Pavlowa,
"Old Bill" with a special message,
Laurette Taylor, Spencer Charters and
most every one else in town.

Motion Pictures Will
Elevate Literature and
Drama, Says Hugh Ford

Motion picture production is hav-

Hugh Ford. the Paramount director
who recently returned from England
where he opened tho now London studio
for the Famous Players-Lasky Corpora.
tion.
"There has been lot Of talk about
the motion picture debasing tho drama
and literature" said Mr.. Ford. "but =
close analysis of the situation will
show the opposite. The motion picture
is having the same effect on the drams
that the short story has had on liter
aturc. 1t is raising the public's inter
est IN tho drama and making it more
critical and moro discerning.
"The motion picture is increasing the
audience Of the drama. 1t has led the
public to the point where the worth
while things get the attention thew de.
serve. The Miracle Man was a good
book and good play, but how many
people knew it until the picture was
made? Thomas Burke's THE Chink
and the Child was fine piece of fiction
writing. but NOT until it was produced
as picture in Broken Blossoms did
many people know there was such a
writer as Burke. 'Humoresque' was a
good story, but not until it was visual
1zed to the public in picture did its
potent'alit'es become fully recognized
oy 1ne greater mass Of our population" f."
WIN the increased interest in the
films by such writer's as Sir Gilbert
parker, Sir J. M. Barrie, Edward
Knoblock and Henry Arthur Jones. M
Ford explained, the motion picture ha /
taken rapid strides toward its proner
place in tho sphere of literature. drams
and the stage.

"People say that an abstract ;d..
cannot be put over in the motion pic
ture. A writer tells his reader what
is going on in his characters mind,
but in volume of words, while in the
motion picture the actor can tell the
audience of deep emotion by the mere
twitching of finger, tho clenchins of
hand or the movement of q fooS or
body. This is putting over an abstract
idea with q gesture"
In touching the subject of the future
writer's for the screen, Mr.. Ford said
they would be cross between an artist
and literary man.
"The person who can think a strong
story with lots Of action and at tho
same time vizualize it in pictures will
be the future successful writer for tho
screen. So many writers these days

Doug Fairbanks Says
Mission of Cinema Is
To Make World Kin

What constitutes the perfect motion
picture? Has it been made yct-has
the ultimate in screen technique been
achieved? Can further stupcndous de-
velopment of the cinema, the product
of the lens, the story that is contained
IN strip of celluloid and is shipped
from theater to theater in a can, be
looked for?
Douglas Fairbanks, that whrlwind
OF OF the pictures, who appears at the
Strand Iheater beginning to- day in his
latest, The Nut" has a very definite =
idea of what constitutes the perfect
motion picture. He sums up the re-
quirements in the following manner:
I'VE want to know our neighbors
the world over-that the great bulk
OF Russians, of Italians, of Chinese
are persons like ourselves, with simple,
homely attributes, persons who have
wholesome pride in worthy achieve
ment, are chagrined when they blunder. !.
angry when they are deceived, jolly in ,
their revelry, who smile when they are
pleased and weep when they are sor-'
rowful. We need to see the Chinese q
woman tender with sick child to =
learn that baby is baby in all coun-
tries; that neighborly kindness means
the same IN Cairo, Egypt. that it does
IN Rushville, Ind. And the method OF
teaching us these things is at our
doors. These are the things the screen
can show US. This is the great mis-
sion of the cinema.
NO tedious journeying by land and Fl
sea; no mastering of a half dozen
strange languages; no dipping in the ,
cold bath Of political economy. Just
the plain, easy lessons of the two di-
menslonal screen in the comfortable
theater Of our home town. This is no
doctrine am promulgating. For years
we have been saying: Motion pictures
can raise an army Motion pictures
can float navy Motion pictures can
elect President And we have been
SATISFIED with saying it. 1t is time 20
do something, time that the great di-
rectors and the world known stars ;
awoke to their responsibility.
Let them carry their work into
Russia. Italy, France Let them make
their pictures there. Let them take as
much pains to show Russians as they
are IN Russia, Chinese in China, Span
iards IN Spain. as they have heretofore
taken to show Americans as they are
IN America. Let the American boy
play IN spirit with the little chap IN >
rance, the American mother weep IN 8
sympathy over the death of baby in
India. Let the tired business man -
learn that his problems are duplicated g
IN Holland and in Denmark. =
$50 shall the motion picture dires- 1.
tors and actors succeed where the
politician has failed, and when this Is
accomplished we shall then have the
perfect motion picture-the one which
critics of the cinema have been clamor-
ing for since the inception Of this =
industry"

Riches and Poverty Are
Again Made the Motif of
Strong Drama of Screen

There Is sadness about New York's
slums which even the lightest heart
cannot deny, and the potency of pow
erty and squalor is the keener when
contrasted with the blazing lights of a
fashionable thoroughfare. But to pre-
sent both the pitiable poor and the
cynical night life of Broadway without
making the humber scenes appear
maudlin and STACEY is a problem which
puts the modern motion picture to the
test. "Humoresquc" was one of the
few which successfully portrayed the
human side Of the poor, and it became
screen classic because of it.
The Plaything of Broadway" the
Realart picture in which Justine John
stone makes her Broadway screen
debut, promises to repeat the success
OF "Humoresque" in it's sympathetic
portrayal of the slum scenes. The pic
ture Will be the principal screen fea-
ture on the program of the Rialto The
alter during the wook beginning Sun
day, March 13.
The East Side slums are not used for
purposes of contrast in "The Playthinp
of Broadway" 1t is the helplessness
OF the poor which turns an adventure
some dancer from Broadway into an
anger OF mercy. 1t was not the slums
whlch drew her to its confines, but q
daring wager by which she could win a
busy doctor away from his work and
make him one of the coterie which fol
loved her fast pace in thesThirty Club.
1he East Side, with its dingy rooms.
narrow Railways and Uttered FIRE
escapes, is in sharp contrast with the
s!umptuous clubroom and boudoir set
tlngs showing the gay world in which
Lola, the character portrayed by Miss
Johnstone, lived her selfish and daz-
ziling life. 1t was at the Thirty Club
that the statement that all men except
one were unable to resist her charm
gave her the idea to humble the young
doctor. She disguised herself as
nurse, SO as to be always near her
victim, but, unconsciously, came under
the spell Of kindliness and self-sacrifce
nerself. The glamour of night life
1Iaded from her vision, and when mem
bers of the Thirty Club sought to in
ouce her to return and threatened to
reveal re, her original purpose of winning
the doctor away from his work a grin
ping complication ensued.

Ube Gholuttom of a 5tar
Grant @ttrbell

Grant MITCHELL who is now appear
ing in "The Champion Sam H.
Harris production at the Longacre
Theater, did not indulge in youthful
dreams of a stage career. His early
record reveals no Juvenile appearance
and no undue prediction for the
theater
When he finished high school he
went to Yale, where he took the regu-
lation four years of academic work
Then he selected the practice of law
as the medium for releasing his talents
and accordingly studied law at Har-
ward. After graduation he was ad-
mitted to the bar and opened modest
law Office in Columbus, Ohio.
1t is no reflection on Mr.. Mitchcll's
ability to record that his Office was not
besieged with clients during the three
years he practiced, or expressed his
willingness to practice, law; just ask
any successful lawyer about his first
years. But suffice it to say that Mr..
Mitchell had much time for reflection
and introspecton. He could take a
trip to New York occasionally without
the Inconvenience Of being obliged to
hustle back to Columbus 10 look after
his clients.
1t was while he was in New York
thought came to him that a life spent
i'll litigation would not be nearly so
much to his taste as a life devoted to
the stage. The quickness with which
he acted on this new idea of change
of methods of livelihood gave pleas
ant little jolt to his friends in New
York and Columbus.
He promptly went back to Columbus,
disposed of his law library, sold his
desk and the chairs that the clients so
seldom used, wound up his affairs and
returned to New York. He took a
course of training in the New York
Academy of Dramatic Art, from which
he later graduated
With an unusual educational equip
ment and an assortment of degrees and
diplomas that might well be cnvied, he
began at the bottom of the theatrical
ladder in the manner approved bv so
