Brief Bits of Furniture
History
"a Series)
EliZabethan

IN Lne Gays OF Queen
Bess, when craftsmen made
a chest, q cupboard, or a
chair with equal else, the
high degree of technical
training that is now de-
manded did not exist.
The furniture was sturdy,
clumsy and heavy in keep
ing with the time. 1t is
easy to see a clustering
cavalier Of that period
could not sit with fitness or
comfort in a Sheraton or
Heppelwhite sofa.
The Elizabethan and ia
cobean were one and the
same as far as style was
concerned.

Ditmas Feature

1t is sometimes thought that un.
less a role is full of variations and
completes, an artist a not create
a memorable figure.
Yet in 1.-THE Flame of Life" the
Hobart Henley Universa1-Jewel pro-
duction on the screen of the Ditmas
Theatre the last half of the week,
Priscilla Dean presents a portrayal
great in its very simplicity.
The figure is that of an ignorant
girl in a mining village whose life
is bound by the simple pastimes OF
working all day as a slate picker,
getting beaten at night by her father
and dreaming all night of being q
lady
The story is thrilling, but human;
fast moving, but complete. It pic
lures a novel atmosphere, the min
ing country in 1870. It's people are
the toll slaves of a mining village,
its action the big and little events
in their simple lives. A smashing
climax is engineered through a mine

THEATRES
Majestic Attraction

Picture patrons who will be flock
ing to the Majestic next week to
see Mary Miles Minter in South OF
Suva," find it a most unusual and
refreshing story of the always fas-
cinating South Sea Islands.
Ewart Adamson, the author. has
departed from the usual South Sea
story and gives US something that
strikes really true, a tale of two
planters, n successful, the other a
prey to the degenerating influence
of the tropics. The drama, which
ensues when the English wife of the
failure arrives to join him, gives
Miss Minter one of the hardest bits
of acting she has yet been offered.
And she acquits herself in splendid
style .
The two men in the case are John
Bowers and Walter Long. We have
seen Mr.. Long in many villain
roles. but never in one that for
sheer quality of sustained and accu-
rate characterization surpassed that
of his Latimer.
The direction by Frank Urson IS
smooth and even. Altogether 1t Is a
somewhat different" and decidedly
intriguing picture.

COMING ta lha Strand

For every foot of film that was
used in Harold Lloyd's new feature
thrill comedy, Safety Last" vir-
tually nine feet were thrown into the
cutting basket. And that just goes
to show further the t~ireless efforts
OF the popular young comedian In
turning out a come6y-a comedy
that must satisfy him In every way
before he will permit it to leave the
lstudio.
To give a few very interesting sta
~tistics: Safety Last" which is I'M
usual in that it is the first seven reel
comedy ever made. was almost six
months in the making. During the
production, the cameraman used a
total of 5000 feet, or roughly.
twenty-five miles of raw film stock.
Of this amount, 11S,07S feet, or ap-
proximately twenty-three miles was
developed, and nearly half was
printed. All this means that the
seven reels of film seen on the screen
was culled from about ten miles of
film that had been o. KID. by Har-
old Lloyd and printed.
But there is one thing of the ut
most Importance. Before Harold
will ever permit one of his pictures
10 be shipped east. he has 1t pre-
viewed in about seven different thea
tres. catering to different types of
audiences. He watches the effect.
He listens to the. criticism of every
one, from the lowest truck driver to
the northumberland and the
shrewd theatre owner.
When Safety Last" comes to the
Strand theatre Monday, no one will
doubt the fact that Harold Lloyd Is
n rItN- f~H ~r@- n-v~ .--I- -
the offering show Harold climbing
the side of a twelve-story building
and the thrills brought by the many
obstacles he encounters in his dizzy
climb, surpass anything that has
ever Seen filmed, or anything that
will ever be, for that matter. The
picture also has a charming love
with Mildred Davis, of course,
being the girl in the case.
