Inc great AIlSriCdh ptStuf0 -

markable screen version OF Emerson
Hough's story, 1.-THE Covered Wag-
on" which will be seen at the Opera
House, for two days beginning Wed
nesday evening, March IL, matinee
on Thursday. at Els and S.16.
It is different from most American
epics heretofore shown on screen
stage, for the reason it deals with an
intimate and widely appealing phase
of our peculiar national develop
ment. 1t shows q nation not SNUG
and contented with unusual benefits
and blessings. but answering that
greatest urge for expansion and the
carrying forward of the best in ira
dition and ideals. Nothing over
placed between the pages of book or
behind footlights has so wildly
shown that spirit which alone made
the United States the greatest OF
nations. The trials, struggles. hard
ships and bravery Of men. women,
girls and boys in that great forward
march Of civilization epitomized in
the closing forties, when progress
moved westward, Is at last brought
before our eyes and quite correctly
in this, the superlative Of film crea-
tons. Those who see this motion
picture wonder will they feel justly
proud If they happen to have been
born in this land and others who
have core here from distant shores
will have a vast satisfactory thrill
over their wisdom in adoption. The
finest players in pictures were re-
cruited to make lasting fame in the
great Characterization of this story.
Among them are j. Warren Kerri-
gan. Lois Wilson, Ethel Wales. Err
nest Terrence, Tully Marshall and
others.
A selected symphony orchestra en-
tour with the company will play Hugo
Reisenfeld's special score. 1.-THE

What Is q Gag?

What Is a gag?
Webster defines it: Something
placed in the mouth to hinder
speech"
That doesn't describe the gag" in
the movies. There gag becomes
something placed in the mouth to
hinder speech, according to Johnny
Hines. laugh producer, whose latest
picture, Conductor 1852" is now
playing at the Colonial Theatre as
the feature attraction. IF, therefore,
laughter provides the wherewithal to
hinder speech, laughter to Hines is
the modus operandi of gag"
Gags used in comedies are the
evolution of humorous quick witted-
ness" he says. They are actions of
top-speed and their climax usually
provokes a burst of laughter. A gag
often suggests itself to director
during the making of scene, when
1t has never been prepared in the
scenario.
"A gag should never be longer
than a minute on the screen, il pos
sible shorter, as can be seen in Con-
ductor 1902 Although the gag pro-
vides laughter. the filming of it Is
most serious business. A few we'll
thought out gags will create more
genuine laughter than the old-fash-
Toned comedy picture. which was just
a series of nonsensical gags. hooked
together with titles"
