Sarah Bernhardt to star in a multiple
reel feature picture called Queen Eliza
beth"
When Mr.. luxor, now president Of the
Famous Players Lssky Corporation, pro-
ducers Of Paramount pictures, entered
the production field Ten years ago, the mo-
ton picture was a fading noyelty-a toy
which was beginning to pail on the pub
Lies taste
Mr. Zukor had been an exhibitor Of
pictures; indeed, he owned and operated
a chain Of theaters in New York City. A
man of vision, he saw that the motion
picture had great possibilities and that
unless something revolutionary 10 the
use OF the new art was introduced pie
lures would cea Sc to attract anybody. He
begged the men who were then produc-
ing pictures to make bigger and better
Glms; they laughed at him, saying that
the picture was only an amusing toy and
was good enough as It was.
But as an exhibitor. Mr.. luxor knew
better. He knew pictures were IN dan
ger Of dying from their own mediocrity.
Authors and actors alike viewed the film
With scorn. Intelligent, discriminating
people condemned the chase pictures,
the tw0-reel thriIlers. the custard pie
| masterpieces as vulgar, tawdry and duh
And exhibitors were at the mercy OF the
film manufacturers, who had monopoly
and refused to raise the standard Of
'heir productions.

horns and organized lis own company

MANY PLAYS TO BE
PRESENTED BY MANTELL.

Bulwer Lytton's fine old romantic
drama of "Rlcheliea' and the seven
Shakespearean plays from his list OF ten
that have been demonstrated by long
experience to be the most popular with
present day theater- goers viii constitute
the repertoire Of Robert B. Manten
during his engagement at English's,
81 arting Monday night.
No contemporary English speaking
ragedian either side the Atlantic has SO
much as attempted a repertoire so ex-
tensiye and impressive, and none seems
to possess a genius versatile enough to
interpret adequately so long and varied
a list of parts.
The week opens with "Richelieu," to
he followed by Hamlet" Tuesday night
las You Like It. Wednesday afternoon,
Julius Caesar" Wednesday night, king
Lear Thursday night, Macbeth" Fri
day night The Merchant of Venice" Sat
urday afternoon and Richard III" Sat
urday night.
All the plays are mounted in the elab-
crate and lavish manner that has be-
come associated Win the name Manten,
the one Shakespearean artist Of first i'm
portance on the American stage that has
refused to be led Rstray by the fantastic
theories and "isms" in stage settings.
Mr.. Mantell, following the sound ira
ditions that have been growing stead
lily with the growth Of pictorial stage
art traditions originating with Shakes
peare himself who staged his plays as
elaborately as the crude devices of his
time would permit, has not hesitated to
make his productions as beautiful pic
torially as possible.
Far from hne settings detracting from
the value Of Shakespeares lines, MI
ManteIl believes they enhance that value
by satisfying the eyes OF the audience as
they are accutomed to icing satisfied in
present day theaters. Draperies and
crude settings, he believes, district the
attention as unusual and bizarre.
Heading the traeedians big support
ing company Is Miss Genevieve Hamper,
whose rapidly developing powers as a
shakespearean artist have placed her in
the front rank of American actresses. Her
ROsaund new last season, and seen from
coast to coast, has taken its place as
one OF the notable Shakcspesrean achieve
ments In America in a decade.
MARGARET ANGLIN DUE
soon AT THE MURAT.
Cnmacteric scenes OF sweeping powe"
are only part Of the vital content OF
The Woman Of Bronze which MaraRret
Anglin brings to the Murat for three days
beginning Monday. sch. y. Miss Anglin's
best--a best" that Is unsurpassed on
the American stage, has been poured
into the torrential drama. So real is her
portrayal and go truly does she interpret
the character Of the sculptor's wife, that
every woman viii recognize in her stage
picture the case ef some friend or Of
some friends friend she has heard
about, It IS said.
During Miss Anelin's long season in
The Woman Of Bronze" just completed
in New Yory she received letters upon
letters declaring the play must have

ITO Editor Daily Mail In view
Of the crying need of shielding and
saving our young people from the
horrible and unprintable deformities
and abnormalities of life when
abused, wish it were possible for the
police to arrest every young man in
Anderson and take them to the
Strand tonight and compel them to
sit through the picture entitled Are
You Fit to Marry" We believe in
compulsory education, and this con-
templated act, if it could be carried
out would be entirely in keeping
with that principle, for education of
the sort contained in that picture,
il needed, will do more for the saliva
ton of the race than almost any
amount of preaching.
II am not advertising the Strand
but | say all glory to the theatre
when used for the benefits Of the
race. We have not begun to capt.
talize the moving picture house as a
blessing. On with the show. Guard
