terest in the venture and they lived
happily ever after. In addition to
Mary and Johnny there are Ia other
characters, cleverly drawn from fami-
liar types, six of the small town vari-
ETY. and eight of the big city brand.
During the unfolding of the plot 16
song numbers, three big finales and
six dancing features are introduced.
The music by Albert Won Tilzer, has
just the proper jingle and the lyrics
by Neville Fleeson are catchy with
the result that the tunes are whisper
ed and hummed everywhere. The
cast is an exceptional one and in
cludes several of the most popular
comedians and singers of the Ameri-
can stage. A chorus of singing and
dancing beauties assist the principals.
"The Bingham Girl" win be given
here on the same big scale that
marked its presentation during the
long runs in New York, Chicago,
Boston and Philadelphia.

LINCOLN MADE BY
TYPICAL MOVIE MIRACLE.
Billings Is Great Artist and Has
Ability Which Makes His Lincoln
True To Life.

It was out of Preston, Mimi,
that the man came who is near
est like Abraham Lincoln in ap-
pearance and who was destined to
impersonate the immortal Eman-
cipator in the most unusual screen
production since the invention of
the motion camera, Abraham Lin
coln," which opens at D & R Thurs
day, November 10.
Martha War was his mothers name,
and she was born and raised at Gin
cinnatti. She married H. o. Billings,
minister, formerly of New York,
and Shakespearean scholar, from
whom their son, George A. Billings,
doubtless inherited his talent for act
ing.
This George A. Billings, the SEN
sational Lincoln of the Rocket Lin
coin Film Company's perturbation of
the life and times of Abraham Lin
coin, is so startlingly like the martyr
President in appearance and tempera-
ment that he was a constant source of
wonderment to his fellow workers.
The exact height and weight of Honest
Abe, Mr.. Billings has also the almost
flawless Lincoln face, the same gait,
mannerisms and facial expression,
voice and disposition. The great
American tragedian Forrest said: IL
play Richard, Shylock, Othello, Mac
beth, but by God, l am Lear" And
so, too, is Billings Lincoln. Others
have played Lincoln, but Billings is
Lincoln, physically and in spirit.
He is a veteran of the Spanish
American war and the World war;
He served in the Philippines under
Lawton and Wheaton and was for
two years a member of the famous
Darlington scouts.
Previous to his coming to the screen
Mr.. Billings had several years. ex-
perience on the speaking stage in
stock and repertoire companies, but
he had never played before the camera
until the day he was tried out for the
Lincoln character by AL and Ray
Rocket at their studio in Hollywood.
He was chosen from a field con-
sisting of all the professional Lin
coins in the United States, and his
startling physical likeness to Lin
coin was not his. greatest asset, for
he has proved to be the rarest of all
actors-a natural player able to COM
pletely submerge his personality in
his Characterization.
The new Lincoln studied his role
six months before appearing before
the camera, and trained physically
after the manner that made Abraham
Lincoln SO strong and mighty. He
split wood at Sunland, CAL, where the
Rocket company reproduced the ia
nous log town Of Salem, Ind.
No effort was ever made to pic
turtle the entire life and events Of
Abraham Lincoln until AL and Ray
Rocket began in April, 1923, after
research work covering eighteen
months. This picture, the story for
which was written by Miss Frances
Marion, covers the time from the
birth of Lincoln, February IL, 1909,
to the events Immediately following
the assassination.

BINGHAM GIRL TUNEFUL
SPARKLES WITH HUMOR

The latest New York musical sue
cess, "The Bingham Girl" will be pre-
scented by Schwab and Kusell, its pro-
ducers, at the Grand-Sunday, Nov. 9.
The book was written by Daniel
Kusell, who has given the stage a
story which will be remembered for
long time; it has quality, simple
charm, much love interest and chain
of complicated situations which cause
endless merriment. It is a new YER
sion of the Cinderella theme in modern
dress and environment, sparkling with
snappy dialogue and wholesome
humor. The story begins in a little
New England town and deals with the
adventures of Mary Thompson and
Johnnie Cousins. The pair are sweet
hearts who leave their homes and
journey to New York in search of
fame and fortune. Johnny believes
he is of big city timber and his con-
ceit gets him into many amusing
predicaments in his efforts to con-
quer Broadway. Johnny is a dismal
figure while Mary succeeds in inter-
esting a biscuit magnet in a cookie
she made at home and now has a
cookie factory of her own. She is
generous enough to employ those who
once snubbed her; she finds Johnnie
who is now educated to city ways,
giving him her heart and a half in

NEW SMALL TOWN
FILM DROPS HICKS
Metros Along Came Ruth Makes
Truly Rural Types True

Rural Characters are characterized
and not caricatured in Viola Dana's
new Metro picture "Along Came
Ruth" which is coming to the Weir
Theatre Sunday Nov. 9. This treat
ment is the result of conference be-
tween Edward Cline, the director and
Winifred Dunn, the scenarist, during
the filming of the picture.
"The day of the vaudeville variety
of farmer with alfalfa protruding
from his cowhide boots and from
beneath his hat, wearing the clothes
of scarecrow-that day is past and
should not be aallowed to return,
said Miss Dunn.
81 don't believe the farmer ever
was the backwoods character he has
been so often pictured as being. He
is the backbone of the nation. The
farmer of today has a sound educa-
ton and he lives a healthy life.
HE provides his family with a good
home, sends his children through col
lege and, all in an, is Americas
most valuable citizen"
Though we have shown a sleepy
village at the start Of our story foi
purpose Of plot, this comedy-drams
is as true to life as it can be made
There are no comic valentine charac-
tiers although there are plenty Of
comic touches"
"Along Comes Ruth" is an adapta-
ton of Henry Savage's Broadway
hit by Holman Day. John Arnold
was the photographer.
