Bert Lytell and
Lone Wolf

IN private life Bert Lytell is SAID
to be quiet and unassuming, ar
athlete and good fellow among his
own sex. He is a deep student of lit
erature and is celebrated as one Of
the best toastmasters and after-dinnel
speakers in the profession. With his
wife. Claire Windsor, he leads an idea
domestic life in the Hollywood hills
and is happiest when studying roles
for his many pictures.
Speaking of his experience with the
famous Lone Wolf character when
he was in this city recently, LyteI
said:
Il enjoyed playing the Lone Wolf
some years ago, when he first began
his screen adventures, but / enjoyed
it still more doing his return in the
new production which Ralph Ince has
just made.
There will he no more Lone Wolf
after this picture. In one way | shall
be sorry, and yet it is comforting to
know that he is winding up his spec
tacular and adventurous career as he
does. 1t is the greatest of all his
great adventures / shall not tell you
what it is. That would not be fair.
You must see it for yourself.
You will remember that the Lone
Wolf always said that if the day ever
came when he saw gem more beau
tiful than anything he had ever seen
the jewel of all jewels-and he had
seen the finest the world had to offer
that the Lone Wolf would cease to
exist.
We'll, in the new story of The
Lone Wolf Returns he finds the price
less Jewel unexpectedly, and he Is sat
isfied"

half a mile long in its entirely, yet it's

replica of the principal railway station
of Berlin. The road was built from
plans and photographs of European
railroad trains with their character
istic continental locomotives and cars.
The railroad station itself, thronged

more interesting.

generally speaking, the military side
of the picture has been depressed

Dancing of American
Girls

a MEXICAN girls make the best
dancers in the world"
\ SO says Cortez Of Cortez and Peggy
the famous dancing team, just re
turned from five months in England
and the continent
In the past five months I've
watched dance, and danced with, Eng
fish, French. Italian and Spanish girls,
and although there are exceptions. ]
find that in general the Continental
girls are neither as quick nor as pro
ficient at modern dancing as American
girls.
"Independent as she may be in
most matters, the American girl is
correctly dependent while dancing,
with the result that she is easily led
and catches with amazing swiftness
the most intricate steps. In contrast
to the Spanish and Italian girls, who
are inclined to be dangerous. the Amer
lean girl is buoyant alert, keen. Her
brain and her body are tuned to quick
action.
1T would be revelation to Euro
pean ballet masters to watch the work
of the Foster girls at the Hippodrome.
In a single mornings rehearsal, i
have watched a troupe learn as many
as five entirely new routines..
Before ! started theatrical dancing
| conducted dancing studio. | dis
covered then that any American girl
can learn to dance. They have the
inclination plus the pep plus the
natural grace"
