''Borderland'' at
Rivoli Theater
Psychic Film

In its settings "Borderland," which
comes to the Rivoli to-day, pictures
that plane whore spirits roam for CEN
turtles until they have won surcease
through sacrifice. This plane, the
Borderland. is, to the average person,
q dreamy, fantastic sphere. undeline-
ated. To give this sense Of vague
ness, Of dignity and beauty was prob
lem for the producers. In zone Clio
rious Day." the paramount production
In which "EK,' the spirit, came to
earth and settled within the body of
will Rogers, the spirit land was pic
tured rather in weird and humorous
terms. But in "Borderland," which
was written by Beulah Marie Dix, the
story was Of dramatic power and the
spirit sphere was to be pictured with
the greatest beauty.
To blend the hundreds Of spirit fig-
ures with the vaguely defined settings
was another problem for the producers
and Director Paul Powell. The cloth
for the costumes was dyed and then
darkened at tho bottom to gain the
proper effect, the figures apparently
moving unseen across the stage.
To students Of motion pictures it is
in stories such as "Borderland" that
the motion picture stands supreme. In
no other art medium can disembodied
spirits be given such semblance of
reality as in the photoplay. On the
stage the human figure cannot be made
as ethereal as in film form.
"Borderland," while partly laid in
the realm of the spirits, is one of the
strongest stories ever written by Miss
dix. 1t treats of young wife, played
by Agnes Ayres, who plans to leave
her son and husband and fee with her
lover. The wife's great-grandaunt
seventy years before deserted her
daughter and husband, lost her life at
sea, and. was doomed to roam through
Borderland until she found the spirit
of her dead daughter. Realizing that
her niece was about to. fall into the
same error the spirit struggles to earth
to warn the young woman. Her re-
ward is that she turns the wife from
her mad adventure and finds the spirit
of her own child-thus being released
from her endless search.
Milton Sills,. Casson Ferguson; Fred
Huntley, Bertram Grassby and the, two
child stars frankie Lee and Mary
Jane Irving, have important roles in
the production.

An Entertainment
Done byLewLeslie
In Natural Colors

The plantation Revue" which opene d
last week at the Forty-eighth Street
Theater, is, In reality, two reviews
rolled into one to make an evenings
entertainment. The first act is re-
cruited from vaudeville. The second
act is taken from the restaurant which
now bears the name "Plantation" be-
cause Of tho revue which was given
there every night between the hours
Of IL and 2. When Lew Leslie de-
cided that New York was really
hankering for high class colored en-
tertainment he resolved to make haste
and give New Workers. what they
wanted. In other words, he had the
courage Of their convictions, but he
decided not to flood the market and
never to let the supply exceed the
demand. So he instituted revue in
tho club which used to be the Bal
Tabarin, and because all of the enter
Gamers were more or less colored he
called it "The Plantation" At its
head he put Florence Mills, who is
probably not more than one-eignth
negress, but who seems to have re-
membercd all Of the weird dances and
the grooming songs which her great
great-grandmother may have performed
in Africa. Florence Mills Immediately
became parsonage. Everyone went
to the plantation" and that clever
Mills girl was invited to appear at all
Of the benefits, which she cheerfully
and smilingly did
In the club show she wore an orange
gown in one Of her numbers, and one
night one Of the smartest debutants in
town was carrying an immense ostrich
plumed fan Of the same brilliant color.
At the end of the song the debutante
applauded loudly and then tossed her
fan to Florence Mills, saying, "Keep it;
1t matches your gown" Both the gown
and the fan are a part of the new
plantation Revue" which promises to
be quite as popular in two volumes as
1t was in one. To the club revue Leslie
has added not only first act, but he
has engaged Shelton Brooks as master
OF ceremonies. Part of the time Brooks
seems to be initiating Raymond Hitch
cock, but Hitchcock himeslf was in the
audience the opening night and the
second night also, so maybe the reverse
is also true.
At any rate, he is very funny. When
he introduces the "Plantation Quartet.
he sounds like Will Rogers. He saws.
Il got four boys a-singing here for me
and I'll call 'em out. They used to call
themselves the Hawaiian Quartet and
want you all to tell me if you think
any one would ever mistake 'em for a
Hawaiian quartet. / made 'em change
it to the Plantation Quartet, Look
at EN-"
II you are going to take one of the
modern fappers to see Plantation Re-
vue" it's all right to sit anywhere you
like, but if you are thinking of taking
an elderly relative with sensibilities
choose the last row in the orchestra.
She wont be able to catch any line and
some of the lyrics are bit broad
yes, as broad as they are long. Only if
you notice nobody seems to find them
too long. 80

Neilan Hopeful
For Production
Of Better Films

Before he left for the Coast the
other day to begin filming Dom
Byrns's novel, "The Strangers Ban
quet," which will be his frst photo
drama under his new arrangement with
Goldwyn, Marshall Neilan made the
interesting statement that "the end Of
the string Of sausage pictures has been
reached"
with the coming season." Mr..
Neilan asserted, 'fbeginning in Septem-
Der, the program picture-the picture
which Is made and sold as part Of a
series-will be conspicuous by It's alb
sence. In its place will be Che big pro-
duction, produced and sold individu-
ally, more on the order of stage play.
Every company has cut down its out
put for the coming year-the larger
organizations having cut their number
Of productions in half--and motion
picture patrons are bound to expert
ence notable advance in the quality
Of their entertainment.
Producers in Hollywood and Culver
City are no longer striving for guam
tity Of pictures. In former days it
was no joke to give a director $500
feet of film with the order to make a
five-reel picturev-it was fact. When
the film was shot the picture was
finished. To a certain extent this idea
has been carried out in picture max
ing for years, and up until recently.
when the plan Of big productions be-
came universal among producers, the
program type Of picture has predomi-
mated.
CAS- striking example, Goldwyn,
with its vast producing facilities in the
East and West for turning out hun
dreds of pictures, for the coming year
will produce only twenty pictures. The
product Of my own organization is in
cluded in these twenty pictures. An
other big organization that has been
releasing nearly two hundred pictures
year now announces it will offer
forty-one pictures the coming season.
This holds true Of every organization
in the industry.
Stories that have been held up for
years because of the quantity demand
Of pictures are now being produced
on a scale never before attempted. An
example is my own picture, The
Strangers Banquet by Dom Byrne. !
purchased, this story two years ago. but
not until now has it been advisable to
stage this film as it should be produced
Other big productions now in work
in and around Los Angeles to be re-
leased for the coming season include
Broken Chains the $4,000 prize win
ming story, Passions of the Sea- Hall
Gaines world-famous The Christian,
Anzia Yerzierska's Hungry Hearts,
Douglas Fairbanks's Robin Hood,
Mary Pickford's Tess of the Storm
Country Peg O. My Heart with Lau-
rette Taylor, Quincy Adams Sawyer
with Blanche Sweet, The Garden of
Allah with Norma Talmadge, Guy
Bates Posts Omar the Tent Maker
and THE Masquerader' and other SINH
larly popular subjects
"Theaters throughout the country
the coming season will show more CON
sistently big pictures than ever be-
fore in the history of the business.
This change, at last realized, should
result in a year of rare cinema enter
tainment starting this fall"
