PERCY GRANGER TO Topeka

The reason Percy Granger fell so
in love with the United States as to
become a citizen thereof is character
istic of the pianist. He did not come
here to make money-his association
with Grieg had already cared for that
incidental across the water. The real
reason, he confidcd some time ago to
Philadelphia friend, was that as a
child he was brought up on" the
perennial st. Methodist"
And a good many American boys
and girls brought up in homes where

have permitted him to roost on the
pedestal usually occupied by the really
great musicians, but it is an interest

him responding to the delightful
propaganda of the most famous of
magazines for the young.

A record in the number of extras
used in a motion picture is claimed
for "Phara obs Wife which Ernest
Lubitsch, director of Deception -
Passion" and similar pictures
brought to this country with him last
week. Mr.. Lubitsch was accompanied
by Paul Davidson, pioneer of the Ger
man film industry, who discovered
Lubitsch acting for Max Reinhardt
"Pharaoh's Wife, required the use
of 10000 extras, according to Mr..
Lubitsch, and he says it is his best pic
ture. Owing to the work involved in
the massive historical productions on
which he has recently centered his at
tention, he is limiting himself to two
pictures year. He and Mr.. Davidson
will be here three weeks to study
