WON'T TRY STAGE JURY

Task of Selecting Panel Meets
Many Obstacles.

The task OF selecting a panel Of rep
resentative men and women from which
jury of stage censors can be drawn
at need is proving more difficult than
Owen Davis. one of the originators of
the movement and his associates fore
saw. Many obstacles have raised them
selves. the principal one being the in
ability to get together in one place at
the same time the numerous interests
and organizations corrected with the
stage jury plan.
There will be a meeting this evening
in the rooms Of the Society of American
Dramatsts and Composers in West
Forty-fifth street of the full confer
ence.
'"rhe jury list will be reduced at to-
days meeting" Mr.. Davis said. at

accomplished because the producing
managers were not represented and il

simply being on hand to be pushed

After viewing this picture one is un-

then he will laugh himself into spasms
and go away declraing, ''That man Mack
Sennett can certainly make funny come

Apparently the picture started seri-
ously enough. with a struggle FOR tho
control of American shippin.; between
wealthy ne'er do well, urged on by his
fiancee. and Japanese merchant prince
who stops at the usual nothing to gain
his ends. After its inception the pro-
ducers seemed TO have decided the pie
t,re was too far fetched for straight
play. so they called in such newspaper
humorists as n. 7. Phillips, John Med
bury and Will b. tombstone. with orders
TO smarter II up with few nutty sub
titles Having done SO. the sub-titlers
hastily slid from under by declaring that
the purpose of the picture was solely TO
entertain.
One moment this odd tumble will b.
quite intense, with violent shipwreck.
and the next moment the crew will stag
ger into the captains cabin, conven-
iently equipped with an organ, and sing
hymns Tom Wilson deserves notice for
his gallant efforts to sing while the
ocean tosses bucketfuls of water into hi
open mouth. So this compound of ex-
travagant nonsense and wild adventure
proceeds. with an aiiplane racing to
overtake a fast motorboat containing
the kidnapped fiancee. and with the
hero having. as usual all the resources
of the United States Government placed
at his command. including dreadnoughts
and jack tars. You're certain. for in
stance. that when the Jap Is shot he will
not die---not right away--until he har
tumbled backward Off balcony and
done some spectacular Hopping around

Moore is dragged through all this with
a beautiful air OF being slightly puzzled
as to what it's all about. Miss Pauline
Garon is a pretty heroine. but the stat
uesque Miss Nita Naldi is introduced
into the picture for no other purpose
than TO show she can do plain and fancy
vamping on demand.

directed ny Alfred Green. Scenario
by olga Printziau.
Ever since Thomas Meignan made
such hit In THE Prince Chap" and "A
Prince There Was" it was inevitable
that he should once more appear in a
picture framed by child or so. In the
screen comedy that is the feature Of
the sixth anniversary program at the
Rialto he is supported nv wnat amounts
to an orphan asylum. The title of
prince is lacking, but the five children
keep him busler than any ruling SOW
ereign.
Usually multiplying the humorous eie-
ments in story doesn't multiply the
humor. but in this case, increasing the
number of Meighan youngsters by five
has developed the comedy more than
tenfold. Children and dogs are always
the great mainstays among the sure
fire props of movie producers. In this
case their value is enhanced because the
lone dog is juxtaposed in dramatic in
terest 10 the human cubs.
He is the pet Of a wealthy Young
mans fianeee, girl who prefers her
poodle to any two legged mascots romp-
ing about the house. When the young
man returns from his mine in the West
with the quintet of juveniles from two
years to eight, bequeathed to him by
his mine foreman when the latter is
killed in a stirring fight with bandits.
the fiancee decides that it's her move.
and returns the ring. 1t Is the bach
elors stenographer who in the end wins
the hearts of the bachelor and his
adopted brood. getting affection at
wholesale rates.
Director Green and Miss Olga Printz-
lau, adapter have handled the story
with rare charm and restraint. making
II an exceptionally alluring and gay
film. the best In which Meighan has
expanded his smile in a long time. 1t
is the quaint children, who are Char
lotte Jackson. Barbara Maier. Bruce
Guerin and the De Briac twins. who
keep the tide of sentmentality that
might drown such n story at a low ebb

teer father needs.

Wallace Reid Wins

Reid In "Across the

ten by Byron Morgan and directed by
Philip +. Rosens Scenario BY the



nouncement that there is tremendous
reserve of gasoline in the tanks, for that
means that Wallace Reid will continue
to appear in automobile comedies for
the Continent Wally is at the steering
wheel. enabling him to tear over the
highways without the annoyance of be-
ing arrested for speeding. Probably this
picture. which deals with transconti-
mental road race. burns more gasoline
to the mile OF film than any other. Ger
tainly Reid requires more petroleum 10
kinde his emotions than any other star.
In this case Byron Morgan. who has
fashioned several pictures along the
same non-skidding lines has exalted the
flivver to the plane of art He hes
taken this much ridiculed car and lifted
it in the social scale by having II win
race across the country. Reid plays
the son Of the manufacturer of tin liz
zies. who despises his fathers make of
machine. but of course he jumps in mt
the last moment when his fathers regu-
lar driver double crosses him by quitting
and drives the car to dust and glory,
despite the efforts of a rival company
to put him off the track and in a hos
pital The early part of the picture. de-
spite Reids absence, is the best, showing
the injury 10 another driver. though
later there is an exciting moment IN
which Wally directs his car through
flames that are painted red on the film
and therefore must be real.
The photoplay tends to become repeti-
tfous as topical news picture OF a
motor race. But every flivver owner
will enjoy it, because mountains and
mud enable the tin chariot to win over
the more expensive cars--mud that
turns the drivers to Shiny statues OF
Civic Virtue. Henry Ford would like
the picture. for it is a synthetic story,
made out of all the standard parts of
an automobile comedy.
Reid has not lost his light, delicate
touch on the steering wheel. He ac-
quires the regulation number of gaso-
line smears on his face. If any one is
inclined to guess that Theodore Roberts
plays his father. don't let him hesitate
he's right. Miss Mary McLaren plays
a secretary who dons trousers and
jumps into the racer toward the finish.
and one is inclined to think this is an
innovation, though you never can tell
in these movies.
