SUGGESTED Irish Luck. "
ToHN MCCORMACK, the noted Irisl

John MCCORMACK, the noted Irish
- tenor, is credited with having in
spired the making of Thomas
Meighan's new picture, Irish Luck" +"
McCormack's devotion to Ireland,
his homeland, is we'll known. He
never loses an opportunity TO tell the
world of the glories Of Killarney and
the Emerald Isle.
Nearly a year ago Mccormack and
Thomas Meighan, who are old friends,
were having dinner together in New
York and naturally the talk veered
around to motion pictures.
Il notice you've just finished an
Alaska picture" said Mccormack, re-
ferring TO Meighan's production of
The Alaskan" Not so long ago you
were making a picture in Panama
Why don't you do a picture against
an Irish background"
I'D be glad to-" said Meighan, 'if l
had a good Irish story"
Il know just the story said Nc
Cormack. II read it the other night
It's a Saturday Evening Post story,
called The Imperfect Imposter,' and
If you hurry you can probably get the
screen rights"
That was the way Irish Luck. :"
which is a retitled version of The
Imperfect Imposter," came TO be made
and why Tom Meighan and his com
pany journeyed 5000 miles to Ireland
10 get the real Irish scenery that
makes the picture such delight aside
from its romantic aspect

Movies Are Grateful.
THERE is an adage in the NOV

THERE is an adage in the movies
that 1t requires only one good part
to make any actor celebrity.
Lon CLANCY proved the truth of It
when he leaped into fame in THE
Miracle Man" Norma Shearer also
was made" with her one performance
in broadway After Dark" Scores of
other instances might be cited, among
them the case of Roy Darcy, the vii
famous young Crown Prince of Eric
Won Stroheim's production of The
Merry Widow"
Roy Darcy, hitherto an unknown"
on the screen, following his hiStrionlc
success in The Merry Widow" it ap-
pears, has been signed at d consider
able advance in salary to act villain
ously for Marion Davies in her next
picture; and 1t is now being predicted
that for the rest of the current season
at least he Is likely 10 be ranked as
HollywoodS prize package of Villainy.
The Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer biogra
ply of Darcy only serves to stress
the rapid rise Of this unknown young
actor. He was born in San Francisco,
but received much of his education on
the continent, attending universities
at Leipsic, Berlin, Vienna and Paris,
where he picked up much of his
knowledge Of the European military
type of character, which he graphi-
cally presents in The Merry Widow" "
He also has an excellent tenor voice
and once planned a musical career
After rambling around South America
for a year or two he returned to the
United States and got a small part in
the musical comedy, "Oh. Boy" A
succession of obscure parts in other
stage productions followed and then
he went to Los Angeles, where he ap-
peared with Peggy Wood in a produc-
tion Of The Clinging Vine" Here
it was that Won Stroheim saw him
and offered him an opportunity to
play the villainous Crown Prince in
the picture that probably has just
about made" Mr.. Darcy for the
remainder of his screen career.

District National Guard

With such a situation confronting
the Guard, Col. Oehmann is looking
ahead so that the drill schedule Will
not in any way be interrupted should
the organization find itself without a
home after June 80. The Engineer
regiment commander proposes TO
change the drill from Tuesday nights
TO Sunday mornings at the rifle range.
Under the scheme he is working out,
the troops could report at the range
Saturday nights, where sleeping quar-
ters would be provided for them in
the barracks there, and they could
start their drilling at I O'Clock in the
morning and continue until o clock,
when those who wanted to go would
he dismissed, while the others could
engage in target practice on the
range there. 1t would give the or
ganization a high state of efficiency
for 1.-The arduous field training at the
annual encampment and Col. Och
mann hopes by this plan TO qualify
% per cent of the members of his
command on the rifle range
All of the equipment could be kept
ready at hand, and while target prac-
tice was being engaged in by some
during the drill period others could
practice the other duties required of
combat engineers in the field, such as
II,
etc. And even the cooks would be
given some real training by being re
qu.red to prepare the breakfasts for
the men who stay at the range all
night.

Artists Are Human

IT is not possible for all people TO
come into close contact with artists
who draw for the magazines, paint
portraits and otherwise follow the
career of a genius.
The fact that those who know
artists personally readily admit they
are very human people is brought out
very definitely in the first Bernarr
Macfadden film production, The
WronEdoers," which stars Lionel
Barrymore.
