MARY THURMAN IN
1.-THE BOND BOY"

No heights are too dizzy for a Mack
Sennett bathing beauty to climb. Miss
Mary Thurman, who began her motion
picture career al a member OF the
famous bevy who mind the injunction
mot to go near the water" has proved
this by announcing that ;he will enter
vaudeville.
Not that Mary intends to forsake
the silver sheet. Far from it. She is
at present leading lady for Richard
Bartfelmess in THE Bond Boy" his
latest starring vehicle for First Ma
tional release. But in between times,
she is rehearsing a one-act skit which
will be produced by the Keith inter-
ests.
Besides her bathing beauty fame
Miss Thurman has a notable motion
picture career, some of her triumphs
having been with William S. Hart in
Sand and a number of Allan Dwan
productions: including: In the Heart
of a Fool The Sin of Martha
Oueed," THE Scoffer.'

Says Diamond Prices
to Advance One Third
Before Close of Year

New York. Aug. 4-Diamond prices
in the United States will score an ad-
vance of 33 1-3 per cent before the
close of the year, according TO the pre-
diction of Lee Reichman, diamond
merchant. who has returned from a
two months buying trip in Amsterdam.
Antwerp and London.
Diamond prices in America" said
Mr.. Reichman, ARE lower than re-
placement prices in European markets.
This means that American diamond
merchants can not replace their stocks
from European sources at present
prices.
There are several reasons for this
situation. Distressed goods those
diamonds that have carried losses to
producers. cutters. polishers or mer-
chants. are well absorbed and Ameri-
can buyers find little of these stocks in
the market. This applies to odd lots
coming into Antwerp and Amsterdam
from all over the world and especially
to stolen and confiscated diamonds
from Russia.
Then too the London diamond syn
dicate has control Of % per cent of
the South African output and is hold
ing prices high in an effort to stabilize
the industry.
But there is a buyers strike on.
Foreign markets are swarmlng with
buyers who don't buy. American buy
ers in Europe have a certain margin
on which to buy raw materials. which
includes losses in cutting, polishing and
expenses. When these buyers find the
syndicate's price above prevailing
prices in the American retail market.
it is small wonder they make few pur-
chases."
Mr.. Reichman said the European
diamond cutting industry had under
gone a tremendous slump in the last
year. Amsterdam and Antwerp cut
ting industries. he declared, were run
ming at only 10 to y per cen of nor
nal, taking 1912 as a pre-war basis.

New York, Aug. 5.-Broadway is
content with the old shows-those few
plays and musical comedies which have
withstOod the heat of the summer so
far-and has permitted one week to
pass without adding a new offering
But Broadway is busy with plans for
the new season which will begin any
day now. and is thrice busy with all
sorts of speculations. These are both
mental and financial.
For instance, there Is that always
interesting problem Of just what Au-
gustus Thomas is going to do. Select
Cd several weeks ago to head the Pro-
ducing Managers association, Mr..
Thomas began his duties when the
news of his selection was made public
last week by saying that there is a
certain similarity between his new po-
sition and that of VIII Hays in the
motion picture field and Judge Lands
on the diamond.
Not Given Autocratic Powers
But" Mr.. Thomas smiled, I'm not
going to be as autocratic as Judge Ian
| dis. He can reach out and put Babe
Ruth off the field for a month, but my
, big stick is going to be mainly talk
I'VE are going 10 reason things out and
| hold hands and laugh all we can
! Later he said. The routine of the
theater, not its reform, will take up
| my time"
/! This confirms the statement made in
| this column last week that the man
! who would occupy the position Angus
| tus Thomas has now been selected to
! fill. would not be given the powers ac-
| corded Hays and Lands. Still Broad
way is wondering just what will be the
first big mode Thomas will make. BY
that they hope to Judge the scope OF
his office and the degree of similarity
between it and the positions held by
Hays and Lands.
To Be Arbitrator, Principally
Augustus Thomas begins his work

their fields. For Thomas has had wide

BROADWAY SPECULATES ON PLANS
OF AUGUSTUS THOMAS FOR STAGE

actors. playwrights and stage hands
as well. II ever there was a man
ideally fitted for his work. Thomas is
that man.
The chances are that Thomas will
c~onfine his duties to those of the arbi-
traitor. He will work for harmony.
His role will be that of p~eacemaker.
He will adjust differences between all
the conflicting interests Of the new
shops. And so he will help to bring
to the theater oneness of purpose which
at all times has been woefully lacking.
IT is interesting TO note in this ron
nection that David Belasco-without
referring to Augustus Thomas, and
perhaps not thinking of him-said On
his sixty-third birthday not long ago.:
Reasons for Change in Theaters
Il have watched closely everv ten
dency the theater has shown for nearly
half a century, and / say that the
shoddy things which have filled our
houses heretofore are fast disappear
ing. The public is demanding m
thing better, and this season will see
the beginning Of what may prove to
be a new era in the American drama
While it 10 true that the unsatisfac-
tory season which has just ended may
have been a factor in bringing to pass
the changes imminent in the theater.
there are other forces which 'have long
been at work. Not the least of these
is the ever increasing number OF young
men and women who have come to
look upon the stage as a profession.
Never before in the history of the
stage have so many would-be stars
each fresh from some school of the
theater-besieeed the offices of the
managers. All sorts of schools that
can point with more or less pride to
the success their graduates have won
are turning loose new candidates for
stellar honors.
Nor should we forget the effect such
organizations as the Theater guild
virtually every one Of it's leaders was
an amateur a few years ago-have
had upon our stage.
h0noring Edwin Booth
Still another evidence that the the
alter is turning back to the best is the
keen interest Broadway is taking in
the plans to bring new honor to Edwin
Booth. After Broadway got over its
shock that there is no portrait of the
Shakespearean actor. among the
spfcFrres " stage inmortals in the
Shakespeare gallery at Str4tford- on

Four Greenwich FoiIies


The American stage is keenly alive.
In every department there are signs OF
a renaissance. Under the leadership
of Augustus Thomas-under the guild
ance of his diplomatic hand-David
Belasco's prophecy seems on the way
to realization.
John Murray Anderson-who. by the
way. was more or less an amateur not
so long ago-has won exceptional sue
cess in this country and abroad with
his Greenwich Village Follies. Now
he that next season he will
have two productions on Broadway,
one in London and one in Paris.
London Worse Than America
Lest it be thought that the Amer
lean theater was the only theater TO
experience hard times last season. let
us record the fact that London was
even worse.
The latest arrival to sum up the
London situation also in a measur
sums up the matter about which we
have been chatting. This persons is
William A. Brady. He said:
'Londan has experienced a miser-
able theaterical season. They do not
feel enthusiastic about the season
dHeHu. Inc tHedteTS tneTc nave passed
out Of control of the older generation
of actor-managers and into the hands
of real estate spectators. American
dramatists and composers are now rec
ognized as important providers of the
atrical fare in that city. 1t looks as
if English producers were scouting in
our theaters nowadays for successes,
much as we used to do in London.
Paris isn't as interesting from the
standpoint of production as it might
be, but it shows more signs of hopeful
future than London does.
TT is central Europe that promises
to supply the big plays Of the immedi-
ate future. Both dramatists and pub
lie there take the theater with utter
seriousness. Not only in substance Of
plays but in the manner of presenta-
ton are their men of the theater show
ing the way. In stage lighting and
setting they lead the world. They ex-
eel in acting. also. though %Oftentimes
their methods seem exaggerated.
And 80, it would seem the hopes Of
the dramatic world are-strangely
enough-pinned upon America and
central Europe.
The Renaissance of the theater
seems on the way abroad as well as
on Broadway.

critic, says of D. W. Griffith's "Or-
phans of the Storm" which will be
shown at the Liberty Thursday, Friday
and Saturday: The picture itself is
certainly very enormous. 1t is filled
with stress and storm and Lillian Gish.
1t tells the story a trifle haltingly, and
at times forgets it has a story. You
see Danton, Robespierre and Lillian
Gish. The whole thing leads up to
the g%uillotine, to which Lillian is led
for execution. Every detail that could
harrow your feelings in this episode is
there. Nothing is omitted. But of
course-having seen a picture or two
you know that Lillian Gish will be
saved! No picture director would per-
NIT her fair head to fall. No picture
would allow you to go home with the
impression that fair Lillian was minus
her head. Then just as the worst was
on the verge of happening, rescue
comes. She is saved-and Danton has
saved her. She is plucked from an IN
timely end you know-you know-that
the Gish head will appear in another
picture-name to be announced later"
