UnknOwn's Choice

How he came to select Francis
Howard to play the heroine in
1.-THE Swan" is told. by Jesse L.
Lasky. 1T may seem extraordi-
nary that we should give q part
. of the Importance of the leading
feminine part in The Swan to a
young woman with no screen eX-
perience," said Mr.. Lasky, hut
we believe that in Miss Howard
we have acquired the ideal player
for the role. She has a thorough
dramatic training and youth and
beauty. She was chosen from q
large number of players-severa
of them well-known screen artists
who were considered for the role.
Actually her discovery was one of
those happy accidents. 1 was in

Fedak at dinner about our efforts
to fill the part of the Swan for
the screen. When Miss Howard
appeared on the stage Miss Ee,lak
nudged my arm and suggested that
the girl on the stage was just the
one for the roles After the per.
formance we arranged for Miss
Howard to go to our studio for d
film test. We were delighted with
the results. Although Miss How.

PRODUCING TEN
YEARS WITHOUT
A FAILURE

Andre Chariot, whose revue Of
1924 is ntw at Polls Theater,
produced another revue in Lon
don recently and the cables re.
port it a success. He has had
no failures since he started ten
years ago to give London an
intimate form of entertainment
rather than a spectacle. Wise
Englishmen were chary about
sending to America show which
would have to compete with the
Follies. the Music Box and all
the other lavish combinations of
scenery and costumes. But Mr..
Chariot sent Beatrice Lille, Ger
trude Lawrence and twenty-four
bright skits and specialists culled,
from his ten years of produc-
ton abroad. He sent a chorus
of but twenty-five (the same num-
Der seen here), but they were
all hand picked for looks and
Gancing ability. AS no speciality
ran over ten minutes and some
of them only three or four, the
entertainment was found to have
variety and speed. 1t has been
highly popular since last Christ.

Eddie Hall with his tramp

show along with a rush. These

NEW FIRE RULES
CLOSE SOME
ASYLUMS
Commissioners Approve Dras-
tic Changes Asked BY
Watson

Proposed fire regulation changes
which may result in the closing of
several orphan asylums in the Dis
trict. were tentatively approved to-
day by Frank H. Stephens, District
Corporation Council. No action
viii be taken, however, until Mr..
Stephens determines whether the
Commissioners have the authority
to make such regulations, or wheth-
err congressional action will be
necessary.
The drastic proposals, drafted by
George S. Watson, chief of the Fire
Department, were drawn up as a
result of the fire which destroyed
the Bruen home, 1885 Eleventh
street northwest, and threatened
the lives OF a number of children.
The regulations provide the aboli-
ton Of all frame structures which
house children, aged, sick and in
sane. Only 100 per cent fireproof
buildings would be allowed under
the regulations.
