Suppose Pinchot had put his
strength and ability into enforce

thousands of his rumsellers arrested

eventually be uncovered. In a mo-
nlent Of irritation Hugo SHINES, Ger.

his fist on the table. just as he did
at the Spa conference, and shouted:
The German government is re-
sponsible for the invasion of the
Ruhr an6 for the difficulties which
ensued. 1t was a trifle to keep on
witt the reparation deliveries But
the German government, whoever
leads it, always does stupid things"

that he was Immediately reminded
that he had Influenced the govern

perfectly self composed and cynical.
He had used the government as q

pehtor. but at tie same time point ii
out that Marguerite was hardly
Mary's type of role and that the
Faust" of Goethe had very little
to say about thai feminine character
anyway.
Ferdinand Earle urged that Mary
appear as Juliet. d classical role he
said Shakespeare might have writ
ten especially 70" her.
When letters came pouring into
Mary from her myriad friends. most
of them taking the same stand,
Americas sweetheart abruptly drop
ped her Faust" plans on which Iu-
btsch had already done considerable
work.
Poor little Mary meets competition
whenever she turns to tie classics. it
seems. Now here's Norma Talmadge
as her rival. No statement has come
from the Pickford studio since Norma
announced her Juliet ambitions. but
it is unlikely Mary will give up this
cherished idea.
Juliet has always been n cause for
rivalry among actresses. Last season
saw Ethel Barrymore and Jane Cowl
presenting the role on the New York
stage. And back in 1916 two film
versions of "Rorco and Juliet wore
made. one with Theda Ban and the
other with Francs y. Bushman and
Beverly Baync.

This rivalry should prove inter
esting to screen viewers. The com
petitors in Shakesreare's most 70
mantle drama viii be the acknowl-
edged two most popular women Of
motion pictures.
And their Romeos?
Mary naturally wants Doug Fair

as well as at home in Beverly Hills.

dramatic sensation of New Works

Schlidkraut is row doing his first
work before the camera in Dust Of
Desire" an oriental story by Mar
garet Peterson. that Chester Frank
lin and Frances Marion are co-di-
recting. And in Dust of Desire"
Schlidkraut is playing opposite
Norma Talmadge.
It was Schlidkraut who suggested
"Romeo and Juliet" to Norma
Talmadge. He was eager to play
Romeo on the screen, aud told Norma
he'd like her as his Juliet. A few
days later Josenh Schenk twho is
Norma's husband as well as pgoducerl
announced that Romeo and Juliet
would be her vehicle next spring.
Mary Pickford was the first to an
nounce her plan to play juliet. Her
announcement came when she
signed Ernest Lubitseh, the Austrian
spectacle-master, who directed her
in "Rosita." to direct her in three
more pictures. one year. And the
first was to be Romeo and Juliet"
1t is interesting 10 note that the
suggestion that Mary PickfOrd play
Juliet originally came from Ferdinand
Earle. the artist-director.
Earle made the suggestion in self
defense after Mary announced she
would play Marguerite in film ver-
sion of Faust"
This prospect was rather discon-
certing TO Earle. who had put more
than a years time and labor on ex-
haustive reaserch in his prepara-
tions to present Goethe's milo
sophical drama in motion picture
form.
So Earle publicly welcomed the
lovely and popular Mary rs CON-
