! In addition TO these there are a
number of players who have never
gone wrong in any picture that we
have seen. This list would include
Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin.
Wallace Beery, Harold Lloyd. Jackie
Coogan, Pola Negri, Buster Keaton
and Lillian Gish.
This last may sound like sweep
ing Endorsement; but that is just what
1t Is meant to be.
The methods of movie exhibitors in
exploiting pictures are indeed devious.
Once we heard OF a brilliant fellow
In Portland, Ore, who arrang real
wedding ceremony on the stage of his
theater TO boom business for a photo
play entitled Sacred and Profane
Love-" Another and more famous in
stance Is that of an impresario who
announced in the papers: This Week
"A Dolls House. by Ibsen-Bring
the Kddies.'
/ Lately the proprietor of the EN-
press Theater in Paola, Kan. pre-
vailed on the members OF the high
school football team to wear signs on
the back of their uniforms advertis-
ing his current film attraction. These
signs bore the legend. Watch Us Go
Smilin' Through"
1t is not recorded whether the
Paola eleven won the game the day
they wore this odd insignia-but, at
any rate. business was big at the EN-
press that week.
Harold Lloyd has returned to the
coast having remained In our warm
hearted midst only about two weeks.
Inspired by the success of Grand
mas Boy" he has completed two new
| ong comedies since then-"Dr Jack"
In five reels. and Safety Last" in SIX.

OF moving their distributing center to

turned from abroad. The troupe in
cluded Lionel Barrymore, Alma Rubens.
Pedro de Cordoba and Gareth Hughes.
AS this picture was based on an
Ibanez novel. the company paid visit
TO the corpulent Spaniard. and even
consulted him about the scenario.
Moving picture beauty contests arc
nothing much TO get excited about in
this country. but in England they are
still a novelty: and on top of all It's
other worries England has recently
been In the throes of a competition to
select the fairest maid of the realm
and start her upon a career In the
galloping daguerreotypes.
The contest was conducted by the
Daily Sketch, under the patronage Of
the Talmadge sisters. No fewer than
10000 young ladies submitted their
photographs. and the affair was
watched with considerable interest by
the entire population. including Lord
Mayors and Royalty itself.
The winner. Miss Margaret Leahy.

by the Talmadges and will play tho
part Of A00te. the little tough girl in
Within the Law" which Is to be
Norma's next picture.

face" She also has a large wardrobe,
which was presented 70 her with the
profound compliments of NJ. Paul
Poiret.
