KOsLOff'S Dream.

From California the story Of a
100000 international film
corporation recently formed by
Theodore Kosloff, the Russian
motion picture player. who Is
under contract to Famous
Players-Lasky. OF course it is al
ways easy in the business to talk
in millions, in fact, anyone who
mentions figure less is looked
upon as a piker, still this story
has much interest in that 1t Is a
desire to help Russia via the
cinema.
Kosloff, who still has four
months Of an unexpired contract
with Paramount, expects to leave
for Paris as soon as his contract
is fulfilled to confer with his
brother-in-law, who is also
stakeholder in the new company;
Mr.. Kosloff is quoted as saying
there are already 800 Russian
cities pledged to support two mo-
ton picture theaters. The
corporation will have it's head
quarters in Paris, but it's distribu-
ton center will be in Russia.

Tyrone Power, one of the fore
most actors of the legitimate stage
and noted for his stage charactsri-
cations in support of Mrs. Fiske In
several productions, and as the
"Drainman" in THE Servant In
The House." has an important role
in "Wife In Name Only" the Pyra-
mid Picture production of the
famous Bertha M. Clay novel of
the same name.
On the screen, Power is rapidly
duplicating his earlier success on
the stage and at the present time
is in great demand among the pro-
ducers, sometimes working In two
and three productions at the same
time. Possessed of a strong phy-
steal personality and thorouehly
schooled in his art, Power lends to
every role that he assumes a
finished artistry that is caught hy

and his portrayal of the role of
Sam Dornham in wife In Name

performances of this latest produc-

Viola Dana's Next
On Partisan Life

Viola Dana is to do a story of
Partisan life next for Metro and
her director Oscar APPEL won't
have to get his ideas of Partisan

worthy of special mention and
should be told to those who. cry
for better films. Harrison Ford,

work.
POST--And a mighty good story

which made its debut with the
Subtitle Old New York" is
q film full of fun and charm, and
Marion Davies is excellent as a
girl who masquerades as boy.
TELEGRAM-Ther are many
other fascinating features in the
1t is told with much. liveliness
against a surging background,
which includes all the town OF
New York in 1907. Pretty little
Pat moves through it all with be-
witching little graces, sudden mo-
ments of drama and episodes of
real pathos. Miss Davies acts de-
lightfully always, and II she
makes a winning little boy she is
even more winsome in her fri1ls
and furbelows as the alluring Miss
O'Day. This is the most varied
role in which. she has appeared,
and she il at her best in it.
TIMES-For costumes and set
tings and photography, Little Old
New York" is one. Of the most ex-
quisite productions ever thrown
upon q, screen. The story
is sweet and. appealing and runs
along without single hurtful
halt, and Sidney Olcott, the direc-
tor, has shown excellent taste In
refraining from any of the usual
motion picture gymnastics. The
acting is quiet and natural and
the characterization is good. al
though Marion Davies is far too
feminine ever to be mistaken for
a boy.
TRIBUNE-Miss Davies is so
Intriguing, and at the same time
so satisfying and convincing
one of the best actresses
on the screen.
WORLD-And If we know any
thing about cinema acting and
cinema directing and designing,
here is one Of the loveliest and
simplest love stories which have
come to the screen in a season,
performed almost perfectly from
start to finish. she (Mar-
ion Davies) is irresistible and posi-
lively grand in pantomime.
a fine example of what is to be a
new order in the cinema play. It
Is worthy of the attention of every
person who loves good acting, and

One More Prize
Beauty a Star

WHO says that prize-win-
w ming beauties cannot
make good in the motion
pictures?
Mary Philbin, one of the
daintiest and sweetest young
actresses on the screen, who
plays Margaret Schofield,
Penrod's older' sister, IN
"Penrod and SAM" a forth
coming First National Pic
ture, is one of the latest to
prove that they can.
Her name is now linked
with that of Virginia Brown
Faire, Hazel Keener and
others who have won their
way to film fame by way of
a beauty contest and proven
their all-around worth.
This seventeen year -old
motion picture star captured
the first prize some time ago
in the famous beauty con-
test conducted in Chicago by
the Herald-Examiner and the
local Elks lodges. Eric Won
Stroheim, the celebrated
actor and director, had the
honor of choosing the win
ner and later gave Miss
Philbin her picture start in
"The Blazing Trail"
In that picture she showed
histrionic talent no less
marked than her beauty, and
Immediately it was seen that
in Mary the screen had an

that pretty face, a slight gift

cases nothing further than blind
alteration for some popular screen

cit was because of the very OBJ

Young Women's Christian AS

Hollywood Studio Club as dem
onstration of what could be done
to make life more nearly normal
for the young screen actresses
who have yet to arrive as well
as to care for the transient vic
tins Of movie madness until they
can be returned to their homes or
diverted to some other line Of
work.
THAT the demonstration has
proved a success beyond all ques-

whole-hearted support of the mo.

campaign for a new $3.50, 900 build

approval of Will H. Hays, presi-

announced that he would back

furnish $4,000, a large part of
