screen offerings Miss Macdonald
has not had many opportunities to
prove that, as an actress, she Is
capable of almost any demands that
may be made pom her. but in The
InfdeI." which is the First National
attraction at the Strand this week,
she has light comedy moments,
strong, sincere. dramatic scenes that
prove her absolute mastery of the
technique of screen acting, while
toward the end of this thrilling and
romantic story of the South Seas the
star shows that even in melodrama
she is capable of powerful and
praise-compelling histrionism.
Katherine Macdonald is seen in
the role Of Lola Daintry, a young
girl who has been brought up to
Fate ministers, the Gospel of God
and everything of a religious char
acter. Chance takes her to a South
Sea isle, with its missionaries and
natives. and in the thrilling expert
ences which follow and eliminate
in a happy romance, Lola undergoes
a revolutionary change in her ideals.
The South Sea settings are pictur-
esque and the story teens with vivid
action, including a typhoon and an
island uprising. which is quelled by
the L. S. marines.
An excellent supporting cast APP
pears with Miss Macdonald, whose
leading man is Robert Ellis. Other
players are Joseph Bowling. Boris
karloff, Melbourne MacDowell,

THEATRES


A story of the pains taken by d.
w. Griffith properly to cast his
masterpiece, orphans of the
Storm" his picture version of the old
stage favcrite The Two Orphans"
is told by a writer in the Boston
Herald.
Now that Mr.. Griffith is assured
of the Disness of his newest photo
play" goes the account, "he has told
us who enjoyed ii some interesting
facts about how it was made:
TO beg.r with, he held at first
what he calls a tournament of act
ing: ana put of 800 actors and ac-
tresses who tried for places in the
picture. those who now appear in
the film + those who qualified in
the struggle for survival of the fit
test.
Each actor or actress was meas
ured against the other ~aspirant.
This applied even to the Gish sis
tiers. and IL was not until after the
trial tha- Miss Lillian was chosen
for the Part of Henrietta and Miss
Dorothy fer Louise, the blind girl.
I'm the list of those who tried for
places are the names of many Ia
nous actors and actresses.
"As 1t is Orphans of the Storm
is n of the most pretentious pic
lures ever made by an American.
For one set Mr.. Griffith constructed
a reproduction of Paris $50 years
ago; he built a city with twelve
streets and several blocks of build
ings. The picture has more costly
sets than any Mr. Griffith has filmed
and are even more generous than
Intolerance"

the dissatisfaction of the Republic

which we have campaiSned Il
what we have found it glaringly
manifested.
There are several incidents with

MARINE BAND TO GIVE
CONCERT HERE SEPT. q

While not mentioned on his pro-
gram, it is pretty well understood
that Leader William II. Santelmann
will. in response to many requests,
have the Lucia Sextette available as
an encore in the concerts of the j.
S. Marine Bands present tour. 1t
has already been asked for by nu-
merous music lovers in this city. 1t
is an audaciouS piece of spectacular
music, surprising in briliiancy of
effect even the brass band march in
troduced in the Soldier Chorus IN
Faust The Soldier Chorus was
definitely provided for as a number
for the horns by the composer, Gou-
nod. But it may be doubted whether
the melodious DoniZetti ever
thought that the tragic episode in
the history Of the bride of Lammer-
moor would be thus reflected in
ringing gorgeousness. Probably the
first arrangement of this sextette for
horns was made by the popular
bandmaster, Pat Gilmore, whose
love of spectacular a%udacity subject
ed him to much criticism in conser-
vative musical circles, but made him
nevertheless the idol of the holiday
throng. A Gilmore's Band audience
expected something thrilling and it's
leader hesitated at no device which
ingenuity could summon to crafty
this demand, even going so far as
to use artillery in the distance to
represent the strokes of the hammer
in the Anvil Chorus from "Trova-
tore" Leader Santelmann is will
ing to reproduce Lucia" in brass,
recognizing the marvellous effective
ness of the Interpretation. He has
not yet been persuaded, however, to
request the Navy Department for an
allowance of ammunition hat will
permit him to reproduce the Anvil
Chorus a la Gilmore. The Marine
Band is making its present tour un-
der the direction of w. l.. Radcliffe,
of Washington, ID. c. The concerts
here will take place on the after
