 Legs is legs. just as pigs is pigs Some years ago legs were limbs. That was before short skirts became the style and when women tried to swim with nightgowns on. Only an uncouth person referred to lower limbs as legs It was perfectly proper to call upper limbs arms. Legs was word to be said in a whisper and with a blush.
 Leg is legitimate word. It is to be found even in abridged diction- aries. Everybody has 'em. Even eensors, who will probably order them amputated in the Sennett com edies.
 The absence of musical comedies on the stage Is given by Sennett as the reason for the revival of girl show pictures. Few musical come- dies are on the road because of the cost of transportation,
 George M. Cohan, the shuberts. Hammerstein and others have made money with musical comedies not because of the music or the comedy contained in the shows so much as because of their selection of chorus girls.
 Protest against the girl-show movies was based on the assertion that they were not artistic. that they did not advance the standard of pie lures.
 That's very probably true, but the art in a musical comedy

Critics Words Sometimes
 Attract Movie Patrons

Space in advertising columns of various publications has been used recently to set forth remarks of this writer about certain players and cer- tain pictures. the inference being that recognition by reviewer or critic is proof of the merit of player or pro- duction.
 That fallacy has long been extant among the producers of stage and screen plays. Regardless of what re- viewers may say the success of . person or production depends chief ly upon its merit. Many readers fol- low the remarks of newspaper re- viewers because they so often disagree with their opinions that they go to see a show when that reviewer con- demns 1t and stay away when he commends it.
 Ha once met a government weather forecaster who asked him how he ob- tained his results.

New York, Sept. 2.--Legs are com. ing back into the movies. Legs are what take the well-known Tired Bus mess Man into the theaters. Legs are what brings dollars into the box off, flee.
 Dollars in the box office are what movie producers, distributors and ex- hibitors are in the business to get.
 Mack Sennett, who made enough money producing leg pictures to stop making them when silly censors be- gan to proclaim that leg in motion pictures was a more insidious evil than a leg in the flesh on the stage, Is responsible for the re-introduction of the bathing girl to the screen.
 The recrudescence of the movie leg occurs in "The Shriek of Araby," a desert comedy in which girls will dis port in harem pool. Ben Turpin is the star. His eyes will probably be-

EXCEPTIONAL CAST
 IN '0RPHANS' FILM
GiSh Sisters in GriHth'S Great
 Drama

D. w. Griffith's newest photoplay sensation, Orphans of the Storm" " adapted from the stage classic made famous by Kate Claxton, The Two Orphans" will be seen for the first time under a United Artists Corpora ton release in this city at the Fox theater tomorrow night.
 The production represents months of preparation and a most careful study of the period depicted, the time or the French Revolution. The basis of the story is the famous old play, but Mir. Griffith has woven Into it an historical romance with the thrills of some of the maddest days of the revo- lution. The guillotine Is seen at its deadly work and there are tremend- ous crowds of frantic men and women fighting wildly against the aristocrat in the hope of freedom.
 In the role of Henriette is Lillian Gish, whose work in former Griffith productions has placed her at the forefront of screen artists. Dorothy Gish has the role of the blind girl Louise, the other orphan. Then there IS JOccpu dul, odld u lIC handsomest actor in all Europe, and who made such a sensational success in the leading role of "Liliom," in New York.
 Sidney Herbert another artist of high repute and achievement, is the Borespierre, Creighton Hale, who will be remembered as the butterfly pro- lessor of Way Down East" has part and Frank Puglia is cast as Pierre. Another noted member of the cast is Kate Bruce, recalled for her work in Hearts of the World" Way Down East and other Griffith pro- auctions. .
 Tonight ends the local showing at Fox's of Conway Tearle in The Ref cree" a thrilling story of the prize ring and an honest referee; Dustin Farnum and Lefty Flynn in Oath bound" a gripping mystery story, and Ruth Roland in the latest episode of The Timber Queen"

The Conversation Madge Heard in Her Hiding Place.

At the first sound of the stealth. footsteps in the front hall rose noiselessly from the chair my father had placed for me, took a soundless step forward and put my hand upon the door leading from the library to the tiny side hall where l was sta toned.
 The baited trap had worked Smith was actually in the house, and the sound of Kate's sibilant whispering coming nearer, told me that in an- other minute he would enter the li- brary.
 | l have always fattered myself that possessed as much bravery as the average woman. but the knowledge that the man creeping like treach- erous animal through the corridor would count the chance to kill or maim me welcome addition to his sinister record made me cover against the door I was holding as If the inanimate object could protect me.
 A Mysterious Presence
 We had purposely left ajar the door
 
 when the door closed with so slight a noise that I could hardly distinguish it, knew that Katie had successfully guided Smith into the room.
 For a second or two they stood motionless, then there was tiny gleam of light at the bottom of the draperies separating the library from the alcove. It was smothered as quickly as it appeared, however. and I heard whispered guttural protest from the man Smith.
 Dot all right Katie's whisper would have awakened the most per sistent sleeper in the county. "Efery- body sound sleep in house. r."
 Shut up," the man growled so fiercely that I almost jumped at the sound and Katie promptly subsided. From my previous knowledge of Smiths arrogant egotism I guessed, however, it was not from caution that he silenced Katie, but from his reluctance to permit any one else to occupy the center of the stage for an instant
 There was another silence-longer this time-a silence broken only by the rather heavy but calm breathing of Smith, and katie's shorter, uneven respirations, betraying the tense nerv- ous strain under which she was labor ing. I could hear them plainly through the draperies. and then wondered if my own nerve strain was giving me hallucinations, for it seemed to me that I could hear some one else breathing upon the other side of me in the little side hall. A door from that hall led into the dini <g room, but it had been closed when the light went out, and I had heard no sound of its opening. Yet kept hearing that other breathing, even

though I was sure that my ears were playing me false.
 "Well, Open It Then 1"
 Now" Smith said at last, and Il was no whisper this time, but a low guttural growl which sent little shiv- CTS along my spine, so reminiscent was the sound of that night in the grounds of the big reservoir when had seen the face of the wounded state trooper, and had been warned to lie still by this same guttural voice coming out of the darkness.
 Take your light" he went on, land go to this desk you speak of. Let your light play upon it. Then come"
 There was the lofty condescension of a godling to an earthworm in his tone. Katie to him was a menial and woman, therefore touching the low est point of the social scale in his estimation.
 That my little maid. despite the stress of the situation, recognized the tone and resented it, I knew by the switch of her skirts and the click of her heels as she crossed the room to the antique desk in which Lillian had hidden the eyeglass case for Smith to find. I could see nothing of her movements through the heavy drap- cries curtaining off the alcove, but visualized to myself most satisfactor- fly the play of her fashlight over the polished surface of the old desk.
 Smith gave a grunt of something as near commendation as he evidently permitted himself to utter, and then his footsteps followed Katie's to the desk.
 'Is it locked?" he snapped
 Yes, eet locked, but I got key" Katie whispered. l ..
 You didn't say that before. Where did you get a key to this?" There was distinct suspicion in the guttural tones.
 Dot easy" Katie was elaborating on the acting stuff" she so loved. Dot old vomans, sine always keep key in her work basket. My nissis she take eet out vuntime ven old vomans no dere, hide dis ting in eet, slip back key. I see how she do eet, den tonight I get key same ways
 I knew that Lillian had drilled hel in the story she was to tell, but she told it so naturally that for a second I was distinctly resentful of the doubt full role she had given me. That it satisfied Smith, however, l was sure, as he growled with relaxation of suspicion in his tone:
 Well, open it then and be cursed quick about ii :"
