OLGA PETROVA HAS
HER OWN IDEA OF
EMOTIONAL ACTING

In the care-frce old days. there
once transpired a most significant
little scene between Olga Petrova
and her Aim director. They were
filming a typical triangle" plot, in
which an English wife returns to
the drawing room for a fan and
finds her husband in the arms OF
the blonde ingenue.
Nine. Petrova walked naturally
into the room, glanced at the guilty
couple with an air Of bored detach-
ment. found her fan, and walked
out again.
The director gasped. The fact
that this was probably the way an
Englishwoman of poise would act
under these trying circumstances
had nothing to do with the case.
In the cinema they don't do 1t that
way
"A little more action. please" he
pleaded. You ought to attack her
or reproach her. There might even
be a struggle-nothing rough, but
enough to show she can't get away
with that stuff"
Petrova didn't answer, but she

NO MASSIVE SETS
BUT STRONG TALE
MOVER THE HILL"

One of the great epoch making
photoplays of many years is the
beautiful William Fox photodrama
of mother-love. entitled over the
HILL" which will be seen at Moore's
Rialto Theater as the special Eas-
ter week presentation, the showinS
being the first one in this city at
popular prices.
There Is no suggestion OF big
massive scenes, no spectacular ef-
fects. no crowds-nothing but the
simple. thrilling and powerful story
that touches the heart of all hu-
mainly and brings everyone to real
ize the love and affection with
which a mothers memory should
always be revered.
Produced in New York by William
Fox in September Of 1920. without
ostentation, without undue exploit
tation, without any furore or news
paper fireworks, the fame OF tho
simple and beautiful picture, over
the HILL" spread. 1t must be re-
membered also that "Over the Hill"
was presented in leading first-class
Broadway theaters. at the top scale
of 81 for the best seats. and for
many weeks this single attraction
playing daily matinees drew the re-
markable gross business of more
than $4,000 per week. These fig-
ures are absolutely accurate and
have been the marvel OF all who
have been familiar with the pre-
sentation OF feature pictures on

The screen could he served well
right now by an experimental
workshop. New ideas in stories and
the treatment Of film subjects can
be tried out only occasionally. and
seldom satisfactorily. in the studios

panies which are always chiefly
concerned about their profits. Yet
the development OF the motion pic
ture language is absolutely de-
pendent upon experimentation. upon
the working out OF the visions and
ventures Of people interested in the
screen for its own sake, says the
New York Times.
So an institution devoted TO the
development of CinematoE raphy
rather than to the making of money
is an acute need OF the immediate
present. II such an institution
were established, Ereat many
foolish and fruitless things would
be done under its auspices, I'M
doubtedly. but IT would as certain
ly provide the means for the pro-
duction OF many fine works and its
influence in the commercial field
would be decidedly beneficial.

Miss King suggests. She asks
why not?" And the answer is
because no one has put up the nee

1t cannot be started with much
chance of success unless il is freed
from financial worries for the first
year or two of its existence. And
it would not need a good deal OF
cash and credit from the beginning.
How the money might be raised
is the question. Kenneth Mac

there is no intent here to rob him
OF his rich man. but il there is
anyone who feels that he would

Toasted upon the Indian lore OF the
region. Two or three times, he made
trips into the Indian territory.
where the Indians still lived under
government supervision upon reser-
vations. All OF these forays re-
suited in the collection of many
articles OF Indian manufacture and
use. But never since he became
famous until he became the Indian
brave in "Tip-Top," had Stone been
able to collect his Indian relics into
any sort OF an exhibit.
Since he has been appearing in
'"Tip-Top," he has received many
presents OF blankets, pottery. bows
and arrows. hunting shirts and
other Indian material. This will
have an honored place in stones

Of his collection will be the arrow
heads. beads. buckskin and feather
ornaments collected during his boy
hood. and preserved during all OF
the intervening years.
Stones first impulse was to trans
plant his Indian room around the
country from one theater to an
other. The walls OF his dressing
room are always hung with lariats,
spurs. chaps" somoreros, brides
and horsehair headstalls, while two
or three stock saddles are stored in
the corners. Fred Stones dressing
room at the National is probably
the nearest approach to a ranch
