THE taking of the film which
illustrates Harriet Chalmers
Adams lecture on "Rondonia the
Heart OF the Brazilian Wilder
ness" presented as great a prob
lem as that of making one of the
great motion picture scenic
stories. over $4,000 feet OF film
were taken under jungle condi.
tions. and the quality Of this film
has caused much favorable COM
ment. The editing was not n
small task, and IL was shown TO
the people Of Washington directly
after it's appearance in the Ma
tional Theater in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil.
II has now been edited to five
reels. and contains the most in
teresting pictures. showing the
life In the forests and in the
plateau. where the great South
American rivers have their
source. Colonel Roosevelt passed
through this country in 1918, and
was much impressed by the
unique game Of head ball, played
by the Parcels Indians. which Is
now shown in the film for the
first time. He. too. slew the
mighty jaguar. the most ferocious
Of South American beasts. The
film shows every stage OF this
remarkable hunt. Four camera
men were used in securing the
scene I'm its entirety.
The primitive tribes. only just
coming In contact with civiliza-
ton, are shown i'm their festival
and funeral dances. Until you
have seen the marvellous dancing
steps. of these beautifully formed
savages. you have not become ac-
wrinkle in Terpsichorean art.
When these pictures were shown
at the National Geographic So
ciety on Saturday. SO numerous
were the requests that the show.

has arranged for the exhibition
on next Saturday night. They
will be shown at the Masonic Au-

Says Combination
Is Liked in Boston

NNE OF the biggest pieces OF
news given the theater-loving
public in a long time was con-
tanned in the announcement made
in Thursdays papers by Harry
Jarboe, manager of the Gayety
Theater. that beginning tomorrow
that popular playhouse would run
a continuous performance of pic
lures, vaudeville and burlesque.
from / o'clock until IL.
Mr.. Jarboe stated that arrange
ments were perfected in connec-
ton with this innovation after he
had returned from Boston, where
he had been sent by Samuel Scrib-
ner, general manager of the
Columbia Amusement Company.
IT found" said Mr.. Jarboe, that
the combination Of pictures and
vaudeville with burlesque was en-
joying wonderful popularity in the
Hub. At Waldrons Casino Thea
ter. \ was forcibly impressed with
the great increase in business.
Naturally, I concluded that a
theatrical policy which appealed to
Bostonians would also appeal to
Washington, as the residents OF
both cities are refined and cul-
tured, and have similar tastes.
1--WE in the show business feel
that our first duty is TO gve~2he
public what il wants, and Nhe
public has expressed a desire for
pictures in combination with other
brands Of entertainment. This can
easily be seen in theaters through
out the country. l hope 10 put
on a show every week that will
please every variety OF theater-
goer. Each program will contain
a first-run picture, with the most
notable stars. Our maiden effort
will be "A Wide Open Town" fea-
turing Conway Tearle. Mr.. Tearle
makes a strong appeal to both men
and women. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that this new novelty
affords Gayety patrons the great
est value for their money any
theater ever offered, and i know
Washington will respond to my
efforts to give 1t something worth
while"

made a tidy sum by stopping to
pick up a vagrant piece of a
pamphlet. 1t was while taking
n walk with the hope Of getting
an idea for a story that a piece
OF paper blew across his path.
He picked IL up and discovered
1t was a leaflet from a correspond
ence course.
The idea occurred to him that
just such an incident might set
a man thinking and change his
entire mode of life, perhaps make
a success for him. He went
home. called up his collaboration,
Lottie Horner. and they set to
work. The result was Accord
ing to Hoyle," which has Just
been made into pictures by Louis
Burston with David Butler as

Sardou. the famous French
dramatist, developed N drama
about a scrap of paper, using
those words for the title. Guy de
Maupassant wrote a tragic little
story about man who stopped
to pick up a string in the street.
1t remained for MISSIONER and

Pays to "Cut Up"
Says Margaret

N oES 1t pay to "cut up?"
IL Maybe not, Blue law
boosters say that the mod
ern flapper Is hell-bent for some
place or other. and all sorts of
alarm are being evinced as to
the deleterious state of femininity
of the present day. But Mar
garet Young, "the pocket edition
of May Irwin" owes her chance
In vaudeville and the fat salaries
that came to her through II
primarily to her irrepressible dis
position to ''cut up"
1t happened this way. She was.
before she went on the Keith
circuit--and. incidentally. she ap-
pears at b. r. Keith's Theater
here this week-a society girl in
Detroit. She had talent as an
entertai1er, and was in constant
demand to assist at charity func-
tons. But one of her maxims is
BE yourself" and she just has to
act naturally. So. when she felt
like adding a few frills to her pro-
gram, just because OF. her bound
less pep and energy, she added
them.
Spontaneously, she had done
what the clever and ambitious girls
in a musical show do to put them
selves over" Often some one girl
in a chorus will stand out above
all the others by the intelligence
and pep she puts into her work.
Such girls attract attention, and
often win their way to stardom.
Much the same thing happened 10
Miss Young, for a vaudeville i'm
pressario was at the charity en-
tertainment and was much i'm
pressed by her ebullience and
spontaneity.
So her cutting up" got her the
offer of a job in "big time" vaude-
vile, and because society is slow
for a girl like Margaret Young. she
took him up. She has been I'M
usually successful. and works hard
all the time to add to her ability.
However. she isn't, disposed to be
one OF those modest-violet roses
that are born to blush unseen
and waste their fragrance on the
desert air" She is a great be-
lever I'm self.help, rather than in
waiting patiently for a chance that
some one will discover her.
IF you don't boost yourself"
she asks pointedly. who win?"

Bob and Be Sorry
Says Marion Saki
IN HE question of bobbed hair
is arising quite frequently

"HE question of bobbed hair
is arising quite frequently
these days. And whether
the question is answered in the
affirmative or in the negative
the result is bound to be the
same, according to Marion Saki,
the petite little ingenue. who will
be seen at the National Theater
this week with Geo. NJ. Cohan's
Comedians in the musical comedy
hit, "The O'Brien Girl"
Marion caught the fever some
time ago and quickly hustled
to have her tresses cut. She
had put the question to herself,
answered 1t affirmatively and
acted accordingly. IL the truth
be told. the little coincidence
now wishes she had never bobbed
her hair, for she is in that stage
which may be termed half and
half" And "Oh, my, it is 30
exasperating, she says.
She is just at present at the
stage where the situation is most
interesting-shall she let it grow
or take another chance with a
barber?
Examples of hacking fit by
her so often that she Is almost
afraid of the same result. Marion
often wonders IL the knight of
the scissors" who performs many
atrocities on the hair of an in
nocent victim has the nerve to
collect for his work. She ac-
knowledges that sometimes 1t il
not his fault. for some girA will
persist in having their hair bob
farthest thought in their heads.
From her observations Miss
Saki has come to the conclusion
that girls with straight hair
should never attempt to have 1t
bobbed Why? Oh, lots of reas-
ons. Think OF the cost of hav-
ing II done up so often; and then
if the hair-dresser should put
more heat on it than necessary,
the chances are they would re-
place the gentle creatures who
usurp the front row at the the.
aters when a girly show reaches
town. And then besides that you
know that in these days of re
trenchment they are not making
vanity CSses large enough TO
carry curling irons around in
them.
There you are, girls. Miss
Saki gives you fair warning. If
you are thinking of having your
hair bobbed and it is inclined to
be straight you had better have
a curling iron tied to your wrists
when you go out or else you
will look like-well, II you can
not imagine the picture Marion
can. She knows all about 1t.
And 1t is awful.

Got 'Hick' Attire

<SNR AIN STREET" was first
M produced in Indianapolis

M produced in Indianapolis
last summer by the
Stuart Walker Company. Of which
organization Mckay Morris has
been a member for several sea
sons. In fact, II was Mr.. Walker
who gave him his first big oppor-
tunity on Broadway. When he
was assigned the role. looking over
his carefully tailored wardrobe. he
decided that Doc Kennicott would
never wear anything like the suits
hanging on view. Then he read
the book again and. having a clear
mental picture OF what the Doctors
clothes should be. started out to
find them. and found them in the
most unexpected place.
Zone day, while was out motor
ing" says Mr.. Morris, going
through Noblesville, not far from
indianapolis. l suddenly shouted
TO my friend who was driving to
stop the machine.s OF course. he
thought l was mad, more SO when
I dragged him after me up to the
window of one of those everything
from ham TO shoe stores which
small communities refer to as the
general store, such a one In fact
as Gopher Prairie boosted.
In the window stood one Of
those pathetic wax figures, re-
sembling nothing 30 little as a
man, with a faded red mustache
and dismal hair. Without one Of
those atrocities no small town
would exist and the larger places
don't scott at 'em either. ] have
seen many a one in New York.
Fondly embracing the portion
where the shoulders might be ex-
pected to be found was the bath
robe / now proudly display in act
2, and lying neatly beside were
the pink striped pajamas which
Doc Kennicott wears so uncon-
cernedly.
Literally hugging my treasures
to my chest, and thanking my
lucky stars for having sent me to
Noblesville. which unknowingly
was harboring such a splendid
costumer, we wandered along
Main Street for i had bunch
that somewhere in that town
lurked the rest of the doctors
wardrobe. When finally left that
town. Doc Kennicott had come
into being, for had bought him
a suit, hath fact. his entire
wardrobe for the play.
II never really felt Kennicott
until / got into the clothes. espe-
cially those pajamas. and started
to smoke that evil cigar. never
