Thursday and Friday
Cecil B. De Mile Shows the
Real Thing in "Mansls ugh
ter"

Cecil B. DeMille, accompanied
by his production staff and sew
eral members of the cast, went
to Santa Barbara for an exciting
days work on location in con.
nection with the filming of
"Manslaughter," which will be
presented at the Peoples Theatre
next Thursday and Friday.
The incident filmed-one of
the most important in the story
was the accident in which a
motorcycle officer meets his death
because of the careless and reck-
less driving of the chief feminine
character 10 the story. On these
scenes is built most of the subse-
quent story.
A dislocated shoulder, many
bruises and several miles of valu-
able negative were the net re-
suits. The producer refused to
use the customary dummy in this
series of scenes. Hence the
bruises and injured shoulder.
Leatrice Joy and Jack Mower
were thes principals engaged in
the action. Thomas Melghan,
Lois Wilson Edythe Chapman,
Julia Faye, Dorthy Bumming,
Casson Ferguson and the other
members of the notable cast en-
joyed a day vacation in the ab-
sence of the producer.

THE DOVER ROAD
ATMURAT MONDAY
Walker to Close 1923 Season
Next Saturday Night,

The Stuart Walker company will on
Monday night enter upon the last
week Of their 1923 season at the Mu-
rat. AS the farewell bill of the year,
Walker has selected A. A Mines
comedy-drama. The Dover Road, :"
which ran for an entire year at the
Bijou Theater. at the time of its New
York presentation.
A skeleton of the plot Of The Dover
Road" has to do with the efforts of an
eccentric -philanthropist to prevent I'M
happy marriages. Eloping couples,
who are dIscar ding lawful wedlock for
dubious happiness are his chief con-
Germ. To this end he brides chauf-
feurs and contrives to have the run
aways halted at the gate on the road
10 Dover, under the impression that
his house is a wayside hotel. BY a
willy, whimsical treatment he brings
them to their senses and induces them
to return to their proper fire-sides and
heart-mates.
Milne makes his play plausible from
beginning to end. He creates his
scenes with incidents of every day
life which show human nature in all
its weaknesses and yet contrives to
make human nature very lovable. Ac.
ton is paramount in the play. III
cident follows incident in rapid sue
cession, and the plot complications are
sufficiently diversified to keep the OBJ
server guessing to the very end.
