''POTEMKIN" WILL
OPEN GUILD
THEATER

The Motion Picture Guild has
promised Washington that its
pictures and programs at the
new Little Theater, between F
and g on Ninth Street, opening
April Z, will he of real worth
every week, not just once in
while.
The guild therefore takes great
pleasure In announcing that the
moving picture that Douglas
Fairbanks, Max Reinhardt, Fannie
Hurst, Emil Jannings and many
others have pronounced A'the
greatest ever made" will head
the opening program. 1.-THE
Armored Cruiser Prince Potem-
kin" is that picture!
"Potemkin" has not been shown
in this country outside of New
York city, where it was presented
at $2.2O top. Even in New York
1t was cut before being exhibited,
so realistic and dynamic is its
grim story of Czaristic Russia.
The Motion Picture Guild has
secured and win show an abso-
lutely unabridged print.
Perhaps the best description of
the picture was made by the
National Board Of Review, which
selected "Potemkin" as the per-
feet cinematic creation of an
event" It's photography, direc-
ton. tempo, and continuity have
been called perfect. It has firmly
established the camera az an in.

FAMOUS. GOING
AFTER BIG
WRITER'S

The original story for the screen
play has come into its own at last.
For that is what Jesse L. Lasky's
newly announced plan to form an
Authors Council really means.
But don't remove the tarpauIin
from your typewriters, you who
would be scenario writer's. The
chances Of seeing your creation
on the celluloid are still about
10000 to one. Ideas and stories
will be considered and developed
by the Authors Council only when
they are submitted by acknowl.
edged literary figures.
William LIE Baron, author, play
wright and former editor of Col
lier's Magazine, will head the new
council. Mr.. LIE Baron becomes
available for the post because of
the transfer of Paramount prouuc.
ing activities to Hollywood. For
the past two years he has heen
production chief at the Astoria
studio. Hence, he is acquainted
intimately with the peculiar char
acteristics and requirements of the
screen story. as distinct from the
purely literary creation. Asso-
ciated with him will be Owen
Davis, master dramatist, and on
the International side, Frederic
Lonsdale, the British playwright,
and Alfred Savoir. French play
wright.
Establishment OF the council in
dictates a recognition. of the fact
that most of the really great films
have been developments of an
original idea. For example, THE
Big Parade" 1.-The Ten Com.
mandments," "Old Ironsidee," THE
Rough Riders" Wings" "Metrop-
oils" The wedding March," and
G. B. De Miles "The King of
Kings" all started from an epic
idea
1t will be interesting to watch
the results of this movement to
encourage the active support of
the worlds famous writer's in
working for the films.

because it contains more
than 500 of Squibb's Milk of

"Trelawny" is neat test for
the producer who wants to do
things because they present
problems in accomplishment.
George C. Tyler is not the least
valiant of the Davids who
thumb their noses at "trends"
and 90 on about the business of
doing what they want to do.
What he, did with such for
nidable circumspections as 1.-THE
Rivals" and "The School for
Scandal we know full well.
'Trelawny" is of a more modern
and appealing school, but it
still must be said that he COM
pliments Pinero by his levitat-
ing magic.
The cast is just that good to
be implausible. Unless you can
react to John Drew as a gentle
man being constantly and sin
cerely outraged by the lack "of
cheers one of us is wrong.
Pinero has written natural dia-
logue and Mr.. Drew gives his
share of it that spontaneity that
comes from a gentleman who
has just thought of what to say.
Things last night were dis
tinctly of a carnival tempo.
The house was visibly on edge
with each entrance, leaving the
play quite distant from being
"the thing" The, conclave of
stars is built on the amortiza-
ton plan: a plan clear to all
who have ever made invest
ments of from $50 up. To
others less fiscal, it might be
explained that the principals
dribble on in installments, few
to each act so that when the
fourth frame impends there is
still the estimable j. M. Kerri-
gan to appear along with some
lesser atmosphere. The shrewd
Pinero is probably the father
of the delayed interference trick.

Washington surely has never
seen a better production of the
Pirates. Each member of tho
cast seems to have caught the
joyful spirit OF Gilbert's droll
lines and the Sullivan airs are
sung with zest.
There is tendency to burlesque
the action in the last act notably
in the singing of the "A Police
mans Lot Is Not a HanDy One"
and "A Paradox" In fact, the
whole performances is done with
less seriousness than is usual,
which, we think, puts this Ames
presentation in class by itself.
The comic possibilities of the Po-
licemen's song were never more
fully realized. William c. Gordon
did a nice piece of work as the
Sergeant but his valiant men stole
the song from him.

pirate chiefs right-hand man:

pair of American doughboye with
a. penchant for mischief who es-

thrown into more difficulties than
they bargained for.
According to John w. Gonsidine,
jr., who is supervising the produc-
ton, the Two Arabian knights"
company is expected to finish
filming the prison camp sequence
within week or 10 days and
then journey into an imaginary
arabia" to complete the story.
Beginning production month ago,
the company spent two weeks in
the mountains at Truckee, Calf,
