Miss Vidor $ Career.

FLORENCE vIDOR, Paramount

1915 when the movie industry was a
bowling infant. She was given small
parts to play by the Vitagraph Co.,
but directors did not see her posi-.
bilities as a leading woman. so she
departed to appear in "A Tale of
Two Cities" directed by Frank
Lloyd
Lloyd was the first to realize that
Miss Vidor's poise, beauty and culture
could be turned into box office ap.
peal. He started her on her road to
fame. Some time later she joined the
Paramount organization as leading
woman with Sessue Hayakawa. Cecil
B. DeMille gave her another chance
in 'Old Wives for New" and her sue.
cess was assured.
After a two-year retirement, Miss
Vidor came back to the films, and the

her head to one side or another. and
carols or trills her speeches with all
the abandon of nature herself. AS
for the men in the cast, they carry
with them into the play the spirit of
the olden time to the extent of max
ing what they have to say consider
ably less important than the manner
in which they wear their hnery.
Lienel Atwill has a new play; an
other new play. 1t is paradoxical
fact that most Of the new plays do
not show promise OF wearing as well
as the old ones. In spite OF the
heroic intentions suggestive OF an
Anthony Hope novel, The King Can
Do No Wrong carries out demo-
cratic spirit into the mis- son OF the
stage and gives high life touch
of the underworld.
1t is always the privilege, some
times the high moral duty, Of a
popular star to feel that he must be
we'll in evidence frequently and for
long periods of time in order to pre-
vent interest from tagging. On
whom does interest depend, If not
on the star? In this respect Mr.. At
will sacrifices himself nobly. Pistol
in hand, while the clock ticks off
many weary minutes, he stands on
guard over the center of the stage.
There are trapdoors and battles in
the distance. exchanges of person
atty and almost everything that
heart could desire for the making
of highly aristocratic melodrama.
Yet the events do not coordinate.
They rattle independently of one
another and give the effect OF sweet
bells jangling harshly out of tune.
Mr.. Atwill should procure good
play which does not appeal so OBJ
viously to the market instead of his
own artistic sense. The obvious
market appeal is seldom convincing.
1t was this market appeal that
obtruded itself in the latest Kill
bourn Gordon production, Tia
Juana." Mr.. Gordon has made pre-
vious experiments conducted on the
theory that the public is interested
in the study of vice as it flourishes
under various social conditions. Tia
Juana' steps out OF the current
news as a place OF song and sin. 1t
has a touch of a Where -is-my- wan
dering boy" theme SO common in the
drama of just now. One of its nov
elites is woman who revels III
rough slang, some of it excellent in
comic force, but so perpetual and
abundant that it becomes unconvinc-
ing. The audience is perfectly will
ing to be amused, but does not get
chance, owing to the fact that one
laugh doth tread upon another S
heels. The slangy woman IS about
the only novel character III the play
and she rolls out her lines with a
glibness of phonograph.

The best actors in the entertain
ment are members of the string trio

served the atmosphere of Latin

The battle is not always TO the
strong. The daintiest, most fragile
bit of theater that has delighted
audiences for long time proved the
really reliable source of entertain
ment among shows that limit their
engagements to one week only. The
other dramatic shows were strong
too strong to be palatable.
"The Marquise" is typical of the
productions more recently emerged
from the Ziegfeld laboratories.
However fancifui may be the ideas
employed, the costumes are the
height of elegant realism, true to
period and contemptuous of all ideas
of economy. The search has ap-
peared to be for some detail which
will absorb expenditure rather than
to find pretex for substitution in the
interest of some bit of thrift which
the ewes of the spectator would
probably never note.
The stage has been unusually gen.
erous this Autumn in affording
plimpses of our jolly, gallant and
withal frivolous ancestors. Frivolity
with them appears to have been a
refined art to be cultivated with the
most punctilious regard of the ways
of fashion. The gentleman affecting
wigs, ruffles, brocades and silk
needed only spurs just above their
red-heeled shoes to make them giant
replicas of the game cocks from
whom apparently they borrowed
their dispositions.
Such plays as "Pickwick," and
"Old English" (Which George Arliss
has decided, to the regret OF many
admirers, to replace with a new ve-
hicle) and lately The Beggar's
Opera" and so to Bed have given
opportunities to glance at the quaint
personalities and the droll side OF
English humor. The old play deal
ing with manners took unto itself
usually as a text What Fools These
Mortals Be-" Eccentricitics OF
thought were analyzed more than
superficial appearances. There were
filings at the fashions inspired more
by a shrewd political desire to dis
courage extravaganza than TO point
out what now seems ridiculous even
though beautiful.
Even the Sheridan plays concerned
themselves more with the desire Of
a character TO be regarded as a wit
and a man about town than with a
study Of magnificent fopperies. 1t
remained for the Mansfield produc-
ton OF Beau Brummcl to measure to
nicely the flick OF kerchicf or

B. b. C. GETS RENEWAL AND
NEW RIGHTS

Radio broadcasting in the United
States has been rapidly changing in
the last year or SO, but one hesitates
to say whether or not the changes
might be called advancement. In con-
trast to our "free-f or-al" radio poll
cy, which has brought broadcasting
in the United States to it's present
state of uncertainty, we have the
broadcasting monopoly which has serv-
ed England with considerable success
in the past and which has been re-
Gently reorganized and licensed for
the coming ten year period.
1t is not intended to infer that a
monopoly such as that of the British
Broadcasting company is the best
means Of controlling broadcasting, or
that it is at all desirable in America,
but by virtue of its past successes, its
present stability and organization,
and its future prospects, it is entitled
to close consideration by those who
are attempting to improve the I'M
stable radio conditions in the United
States.
Broadcasing in England has proven
to be a very profitable institution for
the government as well as for the
radio service. Nearly $3,750,000 is
available for broadcasting in 1927
This is based on 100000 licensed
listeners, each paying fee of 10 shil-
lings annually. The government, in
this case, the postoffice department,
receives about SLIPS, 900, and as it
costs only about 100000 to issue the
licenses, this leaves a good profit. Of
the remainder, the New British
Broadcasting company will receive
80 per cent Of the first million license
fees; 80 per cent of each of the second
million license fees; 70 per cent of

each of the third million license fees
and go per cent out of every license
fee after the 100000 limit has beer
reached
Fifty Per Cent Increase
Hitherto, not more than about
/ S2,500,000 might go to the British
Broadcasting company in any one
year, irrespective of the number of
licenses issued. The effect of the new
scale will be an increase of about SO
per cent in the amount available for
broadcastng service.
The following rights enjoyed by the
new British Broadcasting company
were not accorded to the cd B. B. c.:
They may borrow money by mort
gage or any other means up to
$2,5O0,000. This means that they
need not wait to save money in order
to start work on erecting new power
stations.
They may acquire land.
They may establish or support pen
sion funds for employees, or may
grant pensions.
They may subscribe or guarantee
money for charity, or for any public
general, or useful object.
They need pay only $50 annual
royalty fee to the postmaster general
for each. station, where the old B. B.
G. paid $3.50 each.
They may collect news in any way
they like, whereas the old B. B. G.
might only receive it from four
agencies.
The charter says nothing about the
broadcasting of news. This is to be
the subject of negotiations between
the new governors of the company
and the newspapers.
An interesting restriction laid on
the new corporation is that it shall
not enter into any negotiations with
