METROPOIITAN-"The Dancer of
Paris"

1.-THE Dancer of Paris" a love story
of Paris, the first of the Michael Arlen
stories to reach the screen, will be the
First National attraction at Crandalls
Metropolitan Theater this week, begin
ming this afternoon, with Dorothy
Mackaill in the title role and Conway
Tearle in the stellar male part Robert
Cain, leads the supporting cast. So
unusual is 1.-THE Dancer of Paris" in
development and denouement and so
faithfully does it preserve the unique
Arlen flavor" that extraordinary care
has been exercised in the selection of
the subsidiaries of the bill, which will
include the Fox two-reeler, His
Own Lawyer" of the "Helen and
Warren series; the Metropolitan
World Survey and the Pathe Review.
'"The Dancer of Paris sets forth
the divergent viewpoints of two young
men--one an Englishman, the. other
an American-with regard to the love
of a beautiful American dancer, whose
attitude is frankly spiteful toward
Sir Roy Martel, and for good reason,
Consuelo Deane, the dancer, decides
to make Sir Roy sorry by banning him
from her company, although permit
ting him to see her in the arms of
other men. The strain proves too
much for the neurasthenic nobleman
The orchestra will offer Ponchielli's
dance of the Hours" from the opera
la Gioconda"; '"The Palms" as a
trumpet solo by Michaux Crump, and
an interpretative accompaniment of

scriBed as a Termination" of the
George Barr McCutcheon story and
Winchell Smith play. Miss Daniels
Is supported by Warner Baxter, Ford
Sterling, Andre Beranger and Miss
BereSford.
Miss Daniels has the role of a New
York miss of the present who longs to
exchange 81 table at Childs' for one

for Fifth avenue gowns to replace
her own sartorial creations. While
deep in such broodings, she learns
that she has fallen heir to a mil
lion dollars left her by an uncle, and
she Is promised five millions more by
another uncle If she will spend her
Inheritance in 80 days.
Miss Brewster promptly sets out
to spend something over $11, 900 a
day, Sundays included, while the mil
lion lasts. In the process she makes
New York, Paris, Monte Carlo and
way stations sit up and take notice,
and just as she succeeds she learns
to her horror that the uncle who
promised her the five millions has lost
all his money in the stock market.
A Sennett comedy, From Rags to

Comedy as Langdon Sees It.

"Q ETURNED unopened and un-
read, with our cordial thanks" ;"
These words are the unfailing re-
sponse which accompanies the rejec-
ton of manuscripts submitted to Har-
ry Langdon.
"The chief reason for this policy"
Langdon says, "is that 60 per cent of
most any comedy develops right on
the set.
'Of course, l have a main idea, and
sketch the story as completely as pos
sible, but it never fails as we go along
with production to develop new angles
and twists. Most of the laughs de-
velop spontaneously on the set, and
have five gag men originating bust
ness as we go along.
Have a story outline, put the come
dian in makeup and a certain atmos-
phere, start the cameras, and, before
you are through, you have better
comedy than any which may have
been painstakingly plotted in advance.
Above all things comedy must be spon-
taneous, and it can never be so if in
tricate specifications and blue prints
are to be relied upon. That is my
theory"

Something Of Harold Lloyd.

HAROLD LLoYD's middle name is
Clayton and there are no lenses
in the spectacles he wears on the
screen.
The toss of a coin decided his career.
He was once an extra and left a
certain studio because his salary was
cut from IS to $3 day.
He is a serious minded chap off the
screen, and he sold popcorn and
papers, ushered, did bits in stock,
went to high school and taught in act
ing school all in days work. His
chief hobby is hand ball. He is
magician, chess player, superb all
around athlete, acrobat and specialist
in makeup
+ He bushes easily and people seldom
recognize him without his gla sses.
He is modest, unassuming, typical
American boy who never thought he'd
be famous.
He once played in stock with Frank
Bacon, who made the stage character
of "Lightnin" famous. He appeared
in comedies for seven years before he
became a star.
His latest comedy. For Heaven $
Sake' is being released by Para
