No Make-Up Used.

FOR the first time in Paramount
Pictures history production has
been made without the use of grease
paint or "make-up."
Artificial aids to facial attractive
ness have been sacrificed for reality
The picture is Zane Grey's THE
Border Legion" filmed in the rugged,
mountainous country to the North
where the story was told to MIR. Grey
and where he wrote the novel.
Because the story is essentially
outdoors and deals with outdoor peo-
pie, and because the usual motion pic
ture makeup lightens the counte-
nance and makes the skin photograph
a uniform white. it was determined to
do away with makeup for the pic
ture and to photograph the principals
as they really are.
1t is expected the result will be a
true perturbation of the characters
dealt with in the story.
1t had another result-the saving
of considerable time. From 20 min
uteS to two hours is required for the
application of the cosmetics COM
monty used in motion picture make
up, which in this case was used for
actual production.

Palace-"O Open All Night.

a story of cultured Young
matron's desire for cave-man adven-
ture and mastery is revealed in vii
lis Goldbeck'S smart, sophisticated
comedy of Partisan night life, entitled
open All Night which opens
week enga cement at Loew's Palace
this afternoon, with the principal
roles enacted by Adolphe Menjou.
Viola Dana, Jetta Goudal, Raymond
Griffith. Maurice C"Lefty'D Flynn.
Gale Henry, Jack Giddings and
Charles Puffy
A real lesson for lovers is incor-
porated into the theme of open All
Night which was written and
adapted by Mr.. Willis Goldbeck from
the stories of Paul Morand
The atmosphere of the story blends
the two worlds of Partisan night life
the world of society and the world
of athletic sport. Miss Dana has the
role of cultured Young woman who.
while endowed with all the accom-
plshmentS and reserve of a high So
cial station. tires of the never-failing
courtesy but apparent Indifference 10
her charms of husband who comes
from the same walks of life Her
elemental nature lying close to the
surface. she determines to find an adj
mlrer who may substitute brutality
for her husbands Indifference, but
who will, conceivably, not attempt to
disguise his admiration for her
charms.
Through the assistance OF a friend
from America, the arrangement is
made to introduce the young matron
to and throw her in contact with a
famous six-day bicycle champion OF
the day. whose muscular proves is
unqueStioned. but whose mental
agility is an unknown quantity. In
revealing the series of ludicrous and
embarrassing events that follow the
picture drives home the moral that
such romantic alliance is by no
means satisfying to either of the
principals.
The production will be supple
mented by new and hilarious Harry
Langdon comedy from the Sennett
studios; the Pathe news views OF
world events, new edition OF Topics
OF the Day, and most ingratiatinE
musical program by the Palace Sym
phony Orchestra. under the direction
of Thomas Joseph Cannon.

About the Usually
Unimportant Author

WHO is the author of the play?
Does any one ever ask that i'm
portant question? Usually the name
of the important member of the cast
are brought out in bold type and the
title of the play is put up in glaring
electric lights. Even the favorite
criticisms are placed before the pub
lie eye with the names of the critics
who attested how interesting, or ex-
citing or wonderful the acting or the
play was. Meanwhile the person who
made all this possible. glazing cleo
tric-lighted title, good performance
by the actor and good criticisms by
the critics: hides away somewhere to
write another success or dig one out
of his trunk which had been refused
for production before he had written
this enormous success. Some day this
author might care to look behind the
scenes during the long successful run
of this play. the stage hand might
bump into him. or curious by
stander might ask the actor waiting
for his cue in an entrance who that
curious man was gazing about 50
raptly:. and no doubt the actors reply
would be. "Oh, that's only the au-
thor

American Films Popular
Abroad.

A MOTHER evidence of. the ever
growing popularity in foreign
lands of American made movies is
contained in a letter from Calcutta
recently received at the Douglas Fair
banks studios.
Written by Dorothy Randolph, an
American girl, the letter deals with
the Calcutta showing of robin
Hood" and sets forth the reactions
of the natives.
You would perhaps be interested
to know she writes, that two
thirds of the moving picture audi
ences in Calcutta are Indians-that
is, Hindoos, Mohammedans, sheiks
etc.-and it is remarkable to notice
that during the showing of Robin
Hood the Western points of humor
were understood and appreciated by
them.
AT least 80 per cent of the Indian
moving picture audiences are Hitter
ate. but in Robin Hood the plot was
clearly expressed to those who could
not read the titles, through the me-
dunn of action, which proves a big
point in the excellence of this pro-
duction."

Columbia Rudolph Valen-
tino IN Monsieur Beaucaire'

At Loew's Columbia this afternoon
Rudolph Valentino will make a re-
turn to films, after an absence of
nearly two years, in Sidney Olcott's
perturbation for Paramount of the
famous story by Booth Harrington,
Monsieur Beaucaire."
Valentines temperance on the
screen is an event in any case. and
coupled with the enactment of the
stellar role of such a story as Mon
sieur Beaucaire" the occasion is one
of Importance in theater annals. The
production has already achieved sue
cess in several other cities, and VAL
entino's performance has been praised
by critics.
An unusually fine cast has been as
sembled to support the star. Lowell
Sherman. suave villain of both stage
and screen, has the role of Louis XIV
of France, while Bebe Daniels as the
Princess Henriette, the heroine; Lois
Wilson as Queen Marie: Doris Ken
yon as Lady Mary Carlisle. the belle
of Bath; John Davidson as Richelieu;
II. Cooper-Cliffe as Beau Nash; Flor
ence O'DenishaUn, Frank Shannon
and Ian MacLaren complete the lead
ing roles.
Under the direction of Sidney OIL
colt the INSTALLATION of Monsieur
Beaucaire' has called into play great
array of artists, craftsmen and de-
signers. Laid in the luxuriant and
dissolute atmosphere of the old
French court. the production reflects
with realism and beauty the costumes
and backgrounds of the period, as do
also the scenes at Bath, the gathering
place of the English nobility, to
which the hero of the story has been
forced to flee for disobeying the King.
Valentino has the role of the Due
de Charities, favorite of Louis XIV
and handsome. dashing philanderer.
Into such an atmosphere comes the
Princess Henriette. fresh from a con-
vent and adoring the daShing Char
tres, whose desire to make her his
latest conquest rapidly changes into
devout SacriflCial love.
Nine. Pompadour. who has been
Gaily snubbed by the princess, plots
a revenge, and when she sees that
the lovers have quarreled over some
trifle she persuades the King to order
the due to marry the girl. Rather
than force the princess to such
choice, the due disobeys and is forced
to fight his way out of France.
After many adventures. Chartres is
denounced as a barber, the disguise
he was forced to assume to prevent
apprehension by the French, but at
the moment of his disgrace the
French Ambassador penetrates his
disguise, announces that he is none
other than the Duo de Charities and
that King Louis XIV has forgiven
him and desires his presence in
France.
Owing to the length of the produc-
ton the usual short features of the
program will be omitted.

Metropolitan-Jackie Coo
gan in Little Robinson

Jackie Coogan will be seen this
week at crandalrs Metropolitan in
a production directed by Eddie
Cline. Little Robinson Crusoe." and
it was written especially for the
star by Willard Mack.
Little Robinson Crusoe" begins
in San Francisco. where. at the
opening of the story, the hero. little
Mickey Hogan, is found bereaved of
San Francisco's police force, was
killed. The boy is now fatherless
as wei: as motherless. The story
opens as the lad is being made
ready for long journey to Aus
tralia, where he is to be cared for
by a sister of his mother. The
voyage is abruptly ended-in mid
ocean. The ship is wrecked in a
typhoon and all hands on board, ex-
cept little Mickey Hogan. are
drowned There the similarity to
the Robinson Crusoe" story begins.
The boy saves the ships cat. and
together they were cast up on an is
land in the South Seas But, unlike
the Robinson Crusoe Island. this
place is inha bited-emphatical so.
Mickey, no sooner reconci.es himself
to a life on a deserted island than
the cannibals and the fun and
thrills appear.
The plot is not too elaborate nor
complicated, and 1t revolves around
one character-that impersonated by
Jackie. 1t is a perfect combination
for Jackie thrill follows laugh
only to be followed by a dash of
pathos-being sure, of course, that
happy ending closes the story
The story is a realistic bit of mo-
ton picture photography, but the
best Photographic elements of the
picture are those that relate to the
island with it's cocoanut groves, it's
impenetrable forests and it's placid
lagoons and combing line of surf.
Every picture that Jackie makes is
his best. This one will prove that,
for it has everything in it that
Jackie does beSt-eyerything that his
millions or ADMINISTRATORS him for.
