DRAMA
ON CENTRAL
SCREEN

"The Mysterious Witness"
adapted to the screen from the
Saturday Evening Post story,
"Stepsons Of Light" by Eugene
Manlove Rhodes, to be shown. the
first, tfre days of next week at
Crandalls Central Theater, points
it's climax with a surprisingly
novel dramatic device. The story,
In which Robert Gordon and Sli-
nor Fair have the principal roles,
concerns the experiences of a
youth who started out in the
world to earn money enough to
support his aged mother in COM
fort. After a series of extremely
trying vicissitudes, he is unjust
ly accused of murder and rob-
berry, his arch enemy testifying
that he saw the lad shoot the
victim Of the tragedy from horse
back. The prisoner suggests to
the judge that the witness re-
enact the scene, using the same
horse he had ridden. At the first
shot the horse bolted and proved
the testimony perjury by his OBJ
vious gunshyness. The romantic
thread of narrative that relates
to the boys love Of both his en-
ployer's daughter and his moth
err thereupon becomes the chief
interest. Many auxiliary attrac-
tons will add to the enjoyment
of the bill. George O'Hara will
appear with Clara Horton and his
gifted associates in the eleventh
installment of the Fighting
Blood dramalets and Jimmie
Adams win supply a strong vein
Of comedy in 1.-THE Dude" Other
short reels and pipe organ recitals
by Mr.. Thompson will round out
the program.
Allan Forrest, VIOLA Vale and
Edna Murphy will be the pictured
stars at the Central on Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week
in 1.-THE Man Between"
Zone Stolen Night in which
Vitagraph presents Alice Calhoun,
will be the major feature of the
bill for Friday and Saturday.

RINGSIDE

same name, which Universal will
present at CrandalTs Theater the
first three days of next week,
beginning Sunday at 3 p. M, with
Reginald Denny and Mabel Jul
ienne Scott in the stellar roles.

bit of direction in this fascinat-.
ing tale Of the roped arena and
padded Ynits and Reginald Denny
perhaps gives better perform
ance than he would had he not
previously starred in the "Leath.
er-pusher" series of fight pictures.
The romance of the narrative
springs from the love of the
young pugilist for q society heir
ess ignorant of his profession. A
new Aesop Fable also will be In

Following a several weeks So
journ in England and on the con-
tinent, Gilbert Miller, noted pro.
Queer and head Of the Charles
Frohman Company. returned to
New York recently on the liner
Olympic. In a discussion OF his
European observations the man.
ager dwelt on the present state
Of theatricals in Paris and Buda-
pest. 1.-THE French capital" was
his report, has struck an amaz-
ing condition Of commercialism.
AS everybody in the theater
knows, I have been more or less
consistent in contending that the
French drama was something we
might keep intimately in touch
with Ito our advantage. But this
is no longer the case. The plays
in Paris this season, with one
exception, are notably bad. The
Partisan theater is in the grip Of
.sordid syndicates who pander to
a low boulevard taste in a way
which exceeds anything Broadway
has ever known. The one excep-
ton is the brilliant comedy, la
Sonnette d'Alarme," by Maurice
Hennequin and Roman Coolus,
which Avery Hopwood has done
into a gay and yet highly in.
teIligent and interesting play
under the title, 1.-THE Alarm
Clock" 1t is the last current
French play Of any value what
ever that the American public
will see for some time.
Everything that Paris had
has jumped with remarkable eff
feet to Budapest. Hungary is
surging with talent. One cannot
exaggerate the culture rampant
there. The native dramatists,
men such as Molnar, Lengyel,
Dregley, Herczeg and Lakatos
are able to proceed on the as
sumption that their public Is so
well grounded in dramatic
sources that they can express
themselves fully without box
office compromise and yet pro-
duce a play which has enormous
national appeal. Although the
center of q comparatively small
country, Budapest is none the
less a true center and as such
imbued with a concentrated form
of its artistic impulses. In fact
the very smallness scf the nation
drives its dramatIsts to extra
effort in their desire to create
something which will reach not
merely their own countrynen but
the rest of the world as well.
Furthermore, the Hungarian cap
ital is well placed to catch on
one side the influence of Asiatic
melancholy which provides mys.
terry and subtlety, and on the
other the powerful flavor Of
French technique with all it's
spontaneity, charm and vigor.
AS a matter of fact. Budapest
may be said, in a sense, to be
turning out far better French
plays than Is Paris.
incidentally, the native point
OF view gibes in many ways with
our own, Hungarian light'heart-
edness, mingled as it Is with
common sense, the Hungarian
love or personal liberty and ma
tional independence are qualities
which must inevitably bring our
respective native dramas into
close harmony. l predict q day
when the exchange of plays be-
tween us will be as common as 1t
il with London,
"Ah, yes" added Mr.. Miller, II
suppose one can't return from Eu-
rome and not say something on the
prohibition question. My sole

MOVES INTO
PALACE

Emerson Hough, author of
1.-THE Covered Wagon" generally

Next Door," the charming love
story of East and West that has
been picturized as a Vitagraph

direction Of Victor Schertzinger,
who has brought to it's interpre-
tation a cast including Alice Cal,
houn, David Terrence, Frank
Sheridan, James Morrison, John
Stepping, Adele Harrington, Mary
Culver, Bruce Boteler and many
others.
1.-The Man Next Door" has it's
locale on the wide plains of the
western cattle country and in the
homes of the socially prominent
in the East. It's story revolves
about the love affair of Bonnie
Bell Wright, the heiress of a
cattle baronstcy, who is sent East
to be educated and who, on her
return, proves 80 eminently fitted
for the career of a society queen,
in her fathers judgment, that the
old cattle baron builds a nlagnl-
ficent city mansion. The result
is an a1l-round snubbing that he
receives from the Wisners, Il
socially prominent family 1ext
door, and the building of a spite
fence between the two houses
From this situation, though, love
finds a way.

Lloyd Hamilton
Replaces JoIson

$ AL JOLSON need have no
n fear of receiving poison
gas from the Griffith Office
now, All is serene at the
Marmaronek studios for the
reason Lloyd Hamilton has
been engaged, to play the
leading part in "Black and
White" and there seems to
be a general feeling that he
is an adequate substitute for
Mr.. Jolson and there is now
no reason for sadness over
the Jolson detection.
There is a suit pending
now, instituted against AL
Jolson by Anthony Paul Kell
for services in writing the
scenario of "Black and
White" "and as commission
for arranging his contract
with D. w. Griffith.
It will be remembered Mr..
Jolson, after being engaged
for the lead in the picture
and after three weeks work
rehearsing, sailed for Europe
without even saying adieu to
Mr.. Griffith.
