SUNDAY WASHINGTON C., AUGUST
News and Photoplays.

THAT news value sometimes makes
a photoplay Is illustrated in the
case of Legally Dead" the sensa-
tional Universal production, in which
an executed convict is brought back
to life, after hanging.
Charles Furthmann, former deputy
district attorney of Chicago. wrote
the story two years ago, after read
ing of strange experiments physicians
had made in restoring life to bodies
after the heart had ceased to beat.
It's too fanciful-a pipe-dream"'
said the producers.
Then-just a few months ago-the
medical world was electrified by the
news that life had actually been re-
stored by the use Of adrenalin--not
once. but a dozen times. News dis
patches had borne out the prophesy
in the attorney -playwright's story.
1t was accordingly hurriedly pro-
duced from Furthmann'S files, SCI
entists were sent for to check the
details. and n big cast, headed by Mil
ton Sills and Claire Adams, was en-
gagged
AS the play went on. changes were
made almost daily as news dispatches
brought new developments in the dis
covery of adrenalin's life-restoring
properties.
The actual operation, with ad-
renalin and pulmotor, conducted in a
real hospital, under the supervision
of physicians. is an intensely dra-
matte climax to the remarkable story.

Initiating the Elements

or course, everybody knows 1t
would be almost impossible to
take motion pictures in a real storm.
The camera would get all wet, and
1t would be too dark for photography
during the spaces between the light
ming flashes. Tho rain would short
circuit arc lights.
So the movies decided TO make
storms of their own. Then they could
have them when and where they
wanted them and nobody need get
wet or be struck by lightning.
The creation of the thunder storm
for the stagecoach robbery scene in
the filming of "Salomy Jane" is said
to have left Mother Earth Easping.
She was completely fooled until 1t
was nearly all over. Then she saw
the camera and knew 1t was only the
movies again.
A gasoline pump was lowered 120
feet into the canyon and hundreds of
gallons of water pumped up to
sprinklers hung on wires strung from
the tree tops. Huge electric wind
makers lashed the water obliquely
across the scene. In the background
a man in a wartime dugout set OFF
huge flashes Of magnesium which
doomed into the night.
Giant trees crashed, apparently
blown down by the force of the storm.
Mother Nature never made a worse
night.
But it was all homemade, genuine
artificial.

BY ELENoRE DE WITT ELY.

THE most pretentious display Of
gowns at Keith's last week was in
the colored motion picture of the
Westchester- -Biltmore fashion show.
A screen announcement stated that
several million dollars worth of CO.'S
tunes had passed before the camera.
and also before the reviewing stand
filled with society folk, which was
glimpsed in the background of the
pictures.
Fashions for all occasions were ex-
hibited by stage beauties, and the
artistic color photography enabled the
audience to get a very definite idea of
the elaborate and beautiful creations
rlrst OF all came summer apparel
sports costumes with vividly en-
broidered jacquettes, three-piece suits
or light crepe fabrics with contrast
ing blouses Of printed crepe; filmy
garden frocks of organdy and lace
with long bouffant skirts and quaint
basque bodices collared in berthas or
menus, and beach costumes with capes
10 match. One of these was of pale
peach and green changeable taffeta
with cape of self material trimmed
with narrow taffeta frills; another
was OF Japanese crepe in a fantastic
printed pattern, with cape and para
sol In harmonizing design. and a
third was OF brilliant scarlet worsted
cut in one piece.
The early autumn display contained
an attractive cape-costume of heavy
plaid-patterned fabric: a tailored rid
ing habit, and a hunting suit of dark
green, with short fiaring coat. The
inevitable knickers also passed in re-
view, as well as a collection of stun
ming fur jacquettes. One of the most
original of these was of black and
white fur, put together in checker
board fashion. Another unusual
model was of pale yellow fur, collared
in silken black monkey
Among the evening gowns were
several quaint crinolines, with skirts
as long and voluminous as any grand

Looking Into the Future.

STHE future OF the motion picture
industry is full OF great possibili-
ties declares Harry NJ Warner, of
Warner Brothers.
When the pendulum swings toward
a finer realization of the immensity
of our industry. afd its manifold .un-
discovered possibilities. the making
of productions will. not. entail the
helter-skelter tactics now employed.
L look forward to the day when a
motion picture will be- az stable a
product as anything consumed by the
public. do not mean to infer that
pictures will be standardized, nor do
intend to infer that they can be for.
mulized with great success. Tho
trend will be to get out OF our swad-
ding clothes into a moro fitting and
becoming attire.
There is no denying the >fact that
no one person or group of persons
can ever hope to have q. monopoly of
this great educational and entertain
ment factor. 1t is too big and too
vital a public commodity.
Within the near future there will
be no such thing as, the star system.
More pains~wiil be taken by directors
with production. The unscrupulous
producers who resurrect old films be-
cause of some one who happens to
be in the limelight today will be elm
mated. and the showmen of tomorrow
will be those who manifest a keen
sense of motion picture values and an
appreciation of public taste. Popular
books and famous plays will con-
tinue to be produced, and the !origi-
nal story also will come. into its own
with the greater development of the
photodramatists.

Flora -Zabelle as the f1ashing-eyed
Spanish girl-that was some time be-

musical piece turned the main street
upside down, as it were, and even the
lift" boys whistled "Hitchy's" songs
wherever they went.
One of the best things In the show,
and which has a peculiar significance
in these Volstead days, was the toast
to the ladies recited by Hitchcock at
each performance. 1t will probably
be treasured by more Broadwayites
than anything else Blossom ever
wrote.
We can still. recall the roar that
always followed. that toast and the
Zabelle acknowledged the pretty compli-
ment. Only they didn't call 1t "vamp-
ing" in those days.

The Magic of the Writer,
"Wraith of Gay Vienna

Prater gave the one note of sweet
spring madness. The fountains had
lost their rainbow lights. The grass
in the parks was tangled with weeds.
Women were still beautiful. but their
beauty was no longer framed In fash
ions latest extravagances. They were
in mourning. most of them wearing
shabby mourning. Gone were the ia
nous bands-gone with the smartly
dressed officers and the uniforms.

"Of primary importance will be the
fact that production will be carried
on a sane. business-like basis. Ex-
orbitant salaries will no longer be
paid. Experienced actors and ac-
tresses Will be more than content to
carry good stories to their conclusion.
Tor the story will be the main factor,
first. last and all the time.
The conscientious director will be
he who knows story values the artist
in the sense that he will direct only
the biggest stories containing a
theme Of vital importance to human
ity. They will not lean to cheap clap

manity itself
The moment we interested David
Belasco and the word was spread that
the great theatrical producer had be-
come definitely identified with the in
dustry, .unscrupulous producers i'm
mediately dug up anything and
everything labeled with the name of
David Belasco. AS a result motion
picture audiences Will be fed cheap
limitations Of this great mans work
pictures that he has had nothing
whatever to do with in any way.
In the final analysis this tends to
ruin the industry. and the theater
owner who stoops TO buying such
limitations will suffer in prestige.
Once an exhibitor loses the conf
dence Of his patrons he may as well
go out Of business.
THE showmen of tomorrow will be
those who use discrimination in what
to exploit, and then exploit properly.
The wise showmen will be those who
have "A keen sense OF public appre-
citation, and can mix this with true
and tried business ability"

and taffeta as the predominating Me-

however, so it seems that milady may
suit her own fancy during the com

was of pale rose brocaded satin, cut
with wide mandarin sleeves, and
trimmed with dangling silken taSseis
in pastel tones.
Two negligeE, one of pale pink and
the other of delicate blue chiffon.
brought the fashion show TO an ap-
propriate finish. Fluffy marabou and
charm to the long clinging diaphan-
Gus draperies, which dropped in grace
full angel sleeves over the arms, and
extended in sweeping trains at the
back.
Florence May. who appeared in a
sketch entitled Blondes" also a.
Keith's, wore a frock Of peach colored
georgette, trimmed with self-color
lace. The bodice had 4 rounded neck
outlined with narrow lace yoke and
diminutive lace sleevelets. which cir
cled the arms trifle below the shoul
ders, with an open space in between.
The gathered skirt was cut in several
rounded points at the lower edge,
frills of the filmy peach-colored lace.
A girdle Of self-color satin ribbon,
tied in a bow at tho back, and dotted
with light blue satin rose, completed
the frock.
Marjorie Campbell, also in
"Blondes," appeared in an evening
gown OF light green chiffon. Tho
ba Iue bodice was cut with a batcau
neck, and lad short kimono sleeves.
slashed open from shoulder to edge.
A camisole foundation with straps of
shade deeper green was visible be
meath the bodice. The skirt was
fashioned with a straight gathered
foundation. and two wide circular side
panels. which dipped almost to the
floor. 4 girdle of braided green rib
bon, darker than the chiffon, with 4
medallion of vari-colored flowers
framed in a ribbon shower, at the CEN
