Mahlon Hamilton, Theodore Kosloff,

The Lane That Had No Turning"
is tense and romantic story of sac
rlflce on the part of woman who
cl1ngs to her husband in spite of his
deformity and strives to spare him
the humiliation OF learning that he
is not the rightful master of a rich
estate and title which he believes he
has inherited. The pIottines of a
villain. the Intervention of real
man-an EngIishman.s who is the
rightful heir of her husbands as
sumed inheritance-andt the felicitous
ending of tangled series of events
combine to make "TheIane That Had
No Turning" one of the really in
teresttng stories of the year.
A new Christie comedy, "A Stormy

1t doesn't take a term Of study in

She views success from quite an
impersonal angle. which indicates. ap-
parently. that vanity has no part in
her being. To her it is a wonderful
thing to be able to give the public
pleasure and happiness and new
emotions, for she believes that a con-
scientious actress can bring much

could not get in any other way
What counts most in life: to her

the one thing she finds lacking in

HCYMBOLIZISG WORD"

- That's Clara Beranger's an
swer to the question of how good
scenarios are written. That she ought
to know is indicated by the high
praise won by her scenario of "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" and her liter
airy efforts in connection with Will
liam de Miles production of Miss
Lulu -Bett.''
THE secret of good pictures is to
be found in the perfect substitution
of symbols for words" Mrs. Beranger
explains. THE spoken word is the
property Of the stage play. The writ
ten word has very little place in the
photoplay. In the place of these
words we must have pictorial SYM
bolS.
substituting symbols for words is
a tremendously difficult task - one
that requires imagination. coupled
with a dogged persistence that re-
fuses to admit failure.
''The photoplay is primarily pic
torial and dramatic. In the past all
too many pictures have been made
without regard to these essentials
Many screen stories were. and still
