apply the finishing touches to
his latest production, THE Garden OF
Allah"
This picture has been photographed
in and about the very scenes Of which
Robert Hichens wrote in his famous
novel, territory that is familiar to Mr..
Ingram, he having worked here in
"The Arab" which he produced, with
Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry, three
years ago.
When the final scenes of THE Gar.
den of Allah" were being made in the
Trappist Monastery at Staoueli, none
other than Robert Hichens himself
appeared. In this same monastery,
IS years before. he had conceived the
idea for the novel which brought him
celebrity.
1.-THE Garden Of Allah" will prob
ably be released in this country early
next Fall: just before its appearance
there will inevitably come the an.
nouncement that Rex Ingram has de-
cided to retire from the movies--a de.
cision which will stand until he starts
wrok on his next picture.
interesting figures in the world of the
cinema-an uncertain quantity, but
an admirable one.
Born into the Irish gentry, he went
to Trinity College In Dublin and then,
about years ago. came to this coun-
trv and entered Yale. At New Haven
he achieved some. prominence as a
cartoonist and was elected to the ed
itorial staff of the Yale Record, the
work on his next picture.
1t was his ambition then to be q
sculptor, and he worked hard under
such teachers as were available. But
funds were scarce, and during his va
cations he picked up odd jobs at the
old Vitagraph Studio in Brooklyn.
Being a handsome youth, he was
elevated to the position of leading man
and played in several pictures with
Lillian Dimples) Walker, Earle Will
liams, Anita Stewart and other stars
of the period.
During the war Rex Ingram drifted
overseas as a member of the Royal
Flying Corps Canadian branchl, and
saw plenty of service. After the
armistice he returned to America
but not to sculpture.
His experience among the KliegS
and Cooper-f1eWlttS IN the Nltagraph
Studio had infected him with the film
bug, and he journeyed to Hollywood
convinced that destiny had pointed
him toward fame and fortune as a
director.
Destiny had undoubtedly done So
but destiny proved to be rather slow
in carrying out its plans. For a long
time Ingram flirted with starvation
in Hollywood, as many others have
done before and since and will con-
tinue to do. He had one suit of
clothes. the remnants Of his flying
corps uniform.
He did manage TO obtain employ.
ment at Universal City, but after he
had made two or three imaginative
and highly profitable pictures, he was
thrown out on his sensitive ear by

| pulSion that Rex Ingram 3 great break
| came. He was assigned by the merest
| chance to direct The Four Horsemei:
| of the Apocalypse.
This production. sponsored by the
waning Metro Corporation. was re-
| garded as an expensive joke by all
| the wiseacres of the movie industry.
| They pointed out that it was war
| story, arriving at time when every
| one was sick to death of the war.
Furthermore, it was being directed
| by an obscure young man with a
record of failure, and its leading parts
were intrusted to an actor and actress
of whom no one had ever heard.
The leading man was Rudolph Val
entino; the leading lady, Alice Terry.
THE Four Horsemen of the Apoc-
alypse" turned out to be the most
profitable moving picture that has
ever been made.
Since then Rex Ingram has directed
the following pictures: THE Conquer.
ing Power" with Valentino and Alice
Terry; THE Prisoner of Zenda," with
Alice Terry, Lewis Stone, Ramon No.
varro, Barbara La MARI and Malcolm
MacGregor; "Trifiing Women" with
Ramon Novarro and Barbara La
Marr; Where the Pavement Ends"
with Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry:
''Scaramouche, with Ramon Novarro,
Alice Terry and Lewis Stone; "The
Arab" with Ramon Novarro and Alice
Terry; Mare Nostrunf," with Antonio
Moreno and Alice Terry, and THE
Magician" with Alice Terry and Paul
Wegener.
With one exception, 1.-THE Magician"
these productions have deserved to be
called distinguished. They have all
displayed an unusual degree of
thoughtfulness. of imagination, of
artistic sensibility that lifts Rex In.
gram above the dead level of movie
directors and entities him to the rec
ognition that he has received.
In recent years Ingram has failed
to make any sensational discoveries.
1t was he who first recognized and
developed the talents Of Rudolph Val
entino, Alice Terry, Ramon Novarro
and Barbara La Mari.
There is one thing, however, that he
has maintained-and that is his in
defatigable independence. Armed with
the power and prestige that THE Four
Horsemen" gave him, he has consist
emily refused to knuckle under to the
authority of his employers. He has
refused to make program pictures. or
to work on schedule, and he has al
ways decided for himself what stories
he Will make, and whom, where ana
how he will make them.

Young George Dixon
Proves a Sensation

Young George Dixon, colored
Portland welterweight, of whom more
will be heard here and elsewhere on
the Coast, won from K. o. Weeks of
Yakima by a technical knockout when
Referee Harold Jones halted the un-
equal battle in the third round of
q scheduled six-round match last
Tuesday night at Crystal Pool.
Dixon, a cool and clever boy and
a thorough boxer, had Weeks goofy
in the second chapter and had he
rushed his opponent could easily have
ended the affair then and there. He
preferred, however, to take it easy
and play with Weeks, who was lit
erally out on his feet in the third.
Dixon will be staged in main ev-
ent in Seattle as soon as the promo
tiers can find a worthy opponent.

The Appeal of Roland
Haxs' Singing Is Universal

a recital by Roland Hayes, sucn
as this city win hear next Wednes-
day. March 16. at Meany Hall, is a
musical experience of the rarest
sort-but 1t is also far more than
that. OF course the music-going pub
lie of Europe and America cherish
the singing of the great Negro tenor
as one Of the finest things in con-
temporary musical performances.
But Roland Hayes public extends
beyond the, concert-going public by
many thousands. His appeal is uni
versaLl He is an outstanding figure,
not only in our music but in our
national life. This appeal is diff
cult clearly to define, but ii seems to
lie largely in his remarkable power
of illusion. a- 4ar,f
Roland Hayes sings song quietly
and directly, without thought of os-
tentation or effect. He genuinely
elves" its emotions. And his audi
ence, too, is lost in the tender lyric
ism of Schubert or the ecstasy of
Negro spiritual with its vision of
heaven. The singers marvellous to-
nal purity and sweetness-his utter
vocal mastery have, without obtrud-
ing themselves, only served to make
this communication of feeling the
more direct and complete. And since
the emotions of the songs are some
thing more than musical emotions
the singer has reached every men,
Der CT his vast audience.
He has Simply sung his way into
fame. His singing needed no exter-
nal help. 1t would be entirely at var
lance with his nature to trade on
sentimentality or in the slightest de-
gree cheaper his art. Roland Hayes
proves in singing what Fritz Kreisler
proves in instrumental performance:
the. public at large turns away from
commercialized music to seek the
very finest that there is.
