How the weather affects applause

gineer. A musical comedy now cur

as the basis for the series Of ex-

Il believe" says DR.. Free, that
the amount and length Of applause
in a theater is not only the result
of appreciation by the audience.
but Is largely determined oy
weather conditions.
"Ail actors will tell you II Is a
constant puzzle to them how on
some nights, certain lines VIII re-
ceive applause and on other nights
the same lines delivered in exactly
the same way will receive no ap-
plause. The difference in the per-

Rupert Hughes Talks
Are Worth Hearing

Since Rupert Hughes has
taken to directing his own pic
lures at the Goldwyn Studios.
in Culver City, he. has been
swamped by visitors. They like
to hear him spouting epigrams
through his megaphone. Here
are some of them:
You can't use imitation silk
before the motion picture cam
era. The lens is even quicker
to detect imitation emotion"
Horace said, He who would
make others weep must first
have wept himself Every mo-
tion picture director should have
that on his wall"
Ever since I was years old
people have been prophesying
; that l was going to kill myself
with overwork. All the prophets
are now dead"
We could make some very
fine motion pictures II we didn't
have to bother with cameras and
lights"
THE censors are going to stop
crime by censoring the flms.
Why don't they put an end to
diseases by burning the medical
books which describe them?"

To Investigate Alleged House
 Of Ill Repute

Arraigned in the City court today on a charge of keeping a place re- puted to be a house of ill-fame, Ada Smith of 49 Gilbert street, the place better known as the Gilbert House had the disposition of her case con- tinued until Thursday so that the case might be further investigated and precedent looked up and the present case disposed of accordingly.
 There was a doubt in the mind of the prosecuting attorney and also the judge as to whether the fact that a man arrested there and who admitted performing an immoral act in the house could testify as to the reputa- tion. At the time the place was raid- ed the smith woman was not there and Gladys Martin of New York and Eddie Allen also of New York were found in an upper bedroom together.
 She, however, came in later and was placed under arrest. The case of Allen was also continued. Gladys Martin by failing to appear in court and answer to a charge of frequent ing the place forfeited a s100 bond.

 In June, 1921, Adgie again entered the state when she played Bridgeport with the Joseph F'erari Carnival com pany, showing on the Fairfield avenue circus lot.
