REALISTIC STUFF
FEATURES FILM
AT EARLE

Some OF the most thrilling
scenes recorded by a camera were
"shot" for the Regal picture,
1.-THE Girl of Cold" starring Flor
ence Vidor, which is now at the
Earle Theater.
These scenes were taken in a
mine where an explosion occurs
during the progress of a society
dance, given on then sixteenth
level of the mine. The sequence
is truthfully executed in every
detail. Miners were employed
and they used drills, dump carts
and other paraphernalia. The res
cue Of the hero and heroine, i'm
prisoned beneath the cave-in, is
said to-he a masterpiece of di-
rection.
Supporting Miss Vidor in "The
Girl of Gold" are Malcolm Nc
Gregor, Alan Roscoe, Claire Du-
Brey, Bessie Eyton and Charles
French.
THE Girl Of Gold" is from the
novel by Cleveland Moffatt and
Anna Chaplin with the scenario
by Kate Corbaley. 1t was direct
ed by John Ince.
In this picture Miss Vidor ap-
pears as a blonde for the first
time in her long screen career.

NAVY HAIR CUT
FOR NOVARRO'S
LOCKS

Ramon Novarro, hero of many
a photoplay. who has just re-
turned from Rome with the ben
Hur" company, stepped off the
train in Baltimore yesterday
looking his handsomest. He was
driven off in a new Packard car
to Annapolis.
But tomorrow will, in all prob
ability, find him a changed movie
star. His glossy, curly hair
through which many a girl mas
often wished to run her fingers
will be subjected to the regulation
Naval Academy hair cut; and ne
will doff his carefully tailored
suits for the "plebe" and MD
shipman uniforms.
For Novarro has been selected
by the Bureau of Navigation in
Washington to portray the title
character in "Midshipman Ster-
ling" a photodrama of life as 1t
is lived in the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The entire production is to be
filmed on the Naval Academy
grounds by special unit of the
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures
Corporation and under the super
vision of Admiral Shoemaker,
Rear Admiral Mutton, Comman-
dant Jack Simpson, Commandant
Jones, Captain H. E. Cook, Cap
tain Blakely, Captain Fairfield
and Lieutenant Commander Lowry.
William Christy Cabanne, IA
nous for many notable photo
plays, has been appointed director
of "Midshipman Sterling "1by both
the Navy Department and the
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation.
He preceded Novarro and has al
ready made preliminary moves in
behalf of the production. Film
ing of the important scenes of
the story will begin tomorrow.
Arriving1 with Novarro to play
less heroic parts were Wesley
Barry, William Boyd, Harold
Goodwin, Gene Cameron, Maurice

WARMERS SIGN Up
DAUGHTERS OF

Company of America, in which
Maurice Costello was at one time
one of the best known and
earliest stars of the company, his
daughters, Dolores and Helene,
popularity known as the Cos
tello girls" were affixing their
signature to contract with
Warner Brothers in Los Angeles.
Jack Warner signed both of the
young women just two or three
days before Warmers took over
the company that their father
helped to make famous.
The young ladies are beautiful
and have appeared in vaudeville
and on the speaking stage. They
have been coached by their faith
er, who is now in vaudeville, and
are actresses of considerable
talent as we'll as possessing
beauty, youth and charm.
1t is the intention of the
Warmers to develop the young
women for the screen and assign
them to prominent roles. Maui
rice Costello, their father, was
one of the best known of the old
school screen players, and had a.
great following in his day. OF
late his screen appearances have
rot been frequent, and he has
been giving most of his attcu.
ton to vaudeville.

WHEN BROADWAY SHED
A HEARTFELT TEAR

The story Of how Weber and
Fields, after successfully running
their music hall as the most pop
ular theater in New York for
many years, dissolved partnership,
recalls what is still probably the
most remarkable farewell perform
ance in the entire history of the
stage. The two comedians had
through sheer force of untiring
effort raised themselves from the
ranks Of dime museum entertain
ers to the most popular team on
the variety stage.
May 20, 1904, marked the final
performance of "Whoop-dee-Dee"
at the New Amsterdam theater in
New York and the dissolving of
the partnership of the famous
team. The New York Herald re-
viewer wrote on that OCCASION:
"A Broadway audience iS not
particularly sentimental but the
tears that streaked the painted
and powdered faces on the stage
were multiplied many times in
the audience as Aud Lang
Syne' became the final musical
number"
But Weber and Fields were
destined to come together again
and their recent vaudeville tour,
interrupted by a break OF three
months during which time the
team assumed the leading roles
in Friendly Enemies" the fea-
ture picture at the Rialto this
week was veritable riot through
out the country. Weber and Fields
are an institution in the American
theater. Their comic antics, their
slap-stick comedy is as genuinely
American as ham and" From
coast to coast the public sings
their praise and waits with i'm
patience for their numerous ap-
pearances in the vaudeville thea
ters.
Not often have they put aside
their comedy lines to assume
dramatic roles but those few oc-
casions have been successful.

Unknown Beauty
Picked AS Star

Just few weeks ago Para
mount handed a considerable
jolt to film enthusiasts by
announcing that an unknown
girl, Kathryn Hill, had been
assigned to play the heroine
in "The Wanderer," the i'm
mense Biblical spectacle of
the Prodigal Son, which, the
company confidently pro-
claims, will be one of the
biggest and best pictures
ever made.
In lots of similar cases,
these unknown girls" were
well-known extras and bit
players, we'll known in every
studio in Hollywood.
But Miss Hills case is ex-
traordinary. She was select
ed without having had any
previous picture or stage
experience.
She is probably the most
famous artists model in the
world. Harrison Fisher has
asserted she is Americas
most beautiful woman. Miss
Hill has appeared on the
covers of more than 15,OOO,-
600 magazines. No doubt her
face will be familiar when it
is flashed on the silversheet.

Many of us saw the debut
here a year and a half ago of
Owen Davis "The Nervous
Wreck" and excellent as that
opening week was, | venture
that it requisitioned no more
laughs than this repetition in
the hands of the National
troupe.
Minor Watson is a revelation
as a farceur who can clown
role within an inch of the limit.
His talents as a light comedian
have not heretofore been en-
tirely hidden, by virtue of four
fine roles this season in New
York, but l doubt if he, him
self, knew his full capacity for
broad comedy until he got well
within the role. There is evil
dence in his work of Clifford
Brooke's direction and of his
own inventiveness.
In Leneta Lane, the National
has found a feminine lead with
all the attributes necessary, and
more. She has youth and
beauty; a fine speaking voice
and is a captivating little ac-
tress.
Charles Halton makes of Mort,
the cowman, a character that
stands out in the entire per-
formance, slight though it's op-
portunities are. Edward Ar
mold, the sheriff of the original
company, plays the part with
veteran skill. All the other ac-
countings are given without the
dropping of stitch nor in any
manner other than to indicate
IS they We all been playing the
piece 4or months.
The piece, as staged, is a
crisp replica of the first pro-
duction, down to the last drop.
AS in the completeness of this
detail and of the enterprise, as
a whole, it is plain for all to
see that the difference between
a good stock company and
bad one is in its direction.
Clifford Brooke has done a job
that enters the class of triumphs.
