Giant Film Robot

What is described as the most
remarkable man ever seen In
Hollywood or anywhere else, for
that matter, is about to put in
MS appearance at the Lasky
studio.
He will be introduced formally
by Roy Pomeroy, who parted the
waters of the Red Sea in "The
Ten Commandments" and who
has achieved other marvellous
screen effects.
The new man, who has been
brought to life by Pomeroy and
who will be one of the chief
figures in Get Off the Earth ;,
a fantastic comedy, starring Ray
mond Griffith, is approximately
thirty feet in height. He runs,
talks, throws missiles, eats and
thinks-a little. He is strong
enough to push over an ordinary
office building.
So far, Pomeroy and his twenty
helpers who have been working
for the last year and a half pre-
pairing for the filming of this pic
ture, are the only ones who have
seen the stranger.
Griffith will not begin work on
Get Off the Earth" for about
two months. Right now he is
busy making wet Paint" with
a supporting cast including
Bryant Washburn, Helene Co.'S
tello, Natalie Kingston and others.
Arthur Rosson is directing It.

OF all the Ibsen dramas, this
one, which Miss lie Galliene lis
presenting at five of her eight per.
forrnances at the Belasco this week
is probably the sketchiest, the
least important, the least interest
ing. Ibsen has thrown together an
insane fear, an insane grief and
an insane idealism But the
fear is not quite insane enough
to awe; the grief is too sane to
be really impressive and the
idealism ID too trivial to thrill.
It is the product Of Ibsen's last
years, and, perhaps, he didn't
care. It seems that he didn't,
at any rate.

Elliott Nugent, co-author with
his father, J. G. Nugent, plays

the hour. It isn't until he dis
covers the right girl that he
really finds himself, and then he
asserts his right to a career as
q botany professor, scorning the
greater advantages Of the bust

Having helped create the char

also derived from the many
normal youths who appear In
minor parts. There Is no age
limit to enjoying this play Of
clean, wholesome humor and wit

trimmings, and the close of act

antics of Percy HeIton as q rous-

Rumor says that Mission
Mary" the Ethelbert Hales
drama that has been kicking
about New York offices for 10,
these many years, Is to be done
again next season.
1t was recently tested in Wash
ington with this same Miss Rit-
tenhouse in the leading role. The
author is said to be rewriting 1t.
George M. Cohan was the first
manager to zee production pos
sibilities in mission Mary" some
three years back. But after a
few weeks OF elaboration he
finally decided his calendar al
ready was too well filled with i'm
pending plays to have room for
another, and so it passed on to

William A. Brady, jr., is still

Fay BANTER, who left the cast
of Charming Pollock's "The
Enemy" on Saturday night, has
been placed under contract by
the younger Brady and the rest
of the troupe doubtless will be

Gen. Lincoln G.. Andrews, major
domo of prohibition enforcement,
isn't the "czar" he has been pic
tured at all. Instead, he's kind
ly, tolerant, considerate gentleman,
whose methods of enforcing the
Volstead law and the Eighteenth
amendment are so mild and genteel
and courteous as to render them
ineffective.
Such, at least, is the impression
one gets when one compares pro-
hibition enforcement, as practiced
by Gen. Andrews, and prohibition
enforcement as preached by that
champion catch-as-catch-can enemy
of Demon Rum. Pussyfoot Johnson.
Pussyfoot recently disclosed
some of the inside history of the
campaign that caused the enact
ment of the Eighteenth amendment
in an article in Hearst's Interna-
tional Cosmopolitan magazine un-
der the title: 81 Had to Lie, Bribe
and Drink to Put Over Prohibition
in America. Now, in the August
number of the same periodical, he
presents his program for positive
prohibition under the heading: 81
Could Make This Country Bone
Dry in Six Months.
Actual enforcement, Pussyfoot
holds, wouldn't require any new
laws or any changes in existing
ones. Senator Jim Reed and his
congressional investigators could
call off their inquiry and adjourn.
Gen. Andrews, given the Presi-
dents support. would need no ad-
ditional grants of authority. But
the busy bootlegger and the sur
reptitious cocktail would be
doomed!
