gantly praised. Quarantine" is

One of the seasons quickest
flops was Henry Miller's "The
Man in Evening Clothes" which
was scheduled for premiere here
but cancelled on account of the
stars illness. The piece lasted
just a week on Broadway though
dozens of weeks had been in
vested in preparing it for pres
entation. The indifferent re-
ception accorded the piece so
grieved the estimable Miller
that he announced from the
stage his intention to retire as
producer and actor.
It is related that when cast
ing the piece, Mr.. Miller de-
cided it would be easier to get
a dozen real walters for the cafe
scene and teach them how to
act rather than to get dozen
actors and teach them how to
wait. Several days Of rehears-
ing, this experiment decided
the producer that walters are
bad actors. They were so utter
ly bona fide as waiters that the
rest of the cast was high
hated into exclusion and Mr..
Miller considered himself lucky
to get their occasional attention.

Miss Daniels, who portrays

had her hair cOnbed in many
fluffy ringlets with fish-hooks

piquant and saucy air to her en-
tire appearance. This couture was
very elective with crystal.bead-

Of scenes.
But when it was necessary to
take some daytime scenes during
which Miss Daniels wore a stun
ming ensemble costume of black
velvet trimmed with. black fox,
and q gold cloth tunic, 1t was
necessary to change the coiffure
to something more. suitable to a
tailored outfit. Removing her
smart black hat, Miss Daniels sat
down before a dressing table in
back of the set, and beckoned to
young man who stood nearby.
While the cameramen ordered q

become a film actor was a ter
rible descent, in prestige and
everything. The apostate be-
came a pariah from his kind.
But this was not always to
be. Men and women who were
accustomed to receiving the
plaudits Of the first nighters
found themselves severely shunt-
ed from the offices of movie
producers after the first costly
flop. It became apparent that
an excellent speaking voice was
the principal asset of entirely
too many stage stars.
There have been, as you know,
some outstanding successes.
John Barrymore has never
played in bad picture. Pauline
Frederick made a great name
for herself in the movies. But
Marie Doro, Nat Goodwin, Ray
mond Hitchcock-think of them.
They were flops. All Of them.
And hope is entertained that
David Warfield, the latest great
figure of the stage to capitulaAe
to the cinema, thinks of them,
too, as he embarks upon a sea
fraught with perils for the in
experienced.
Let him have a long talk with
George Arliss before he tries
his hand. Arliss learned quickly,
but not too quickly, the lessons
that every new film player must
commit to memory.

Won Stroheim spent more than
a year and a good slice Of the

completed state it had 1875 reels
which Won Stroheim, after
months of labor, reduced to

from the quality Of the picture

monumental tribute to clever
