DOROTHY HALL
Is NEW FILM
STAR

Dorothy Hall is playing the femi
nine lead in the newest George
Walsh starring vehicle now being
filmed in New York studio un.
der the auspices Of Excellent Pic.
lures Corporation. The picture is
entitled THE Broadway Drifter."
Miss Hall is much more familiar
to the patrons Of the spoken dram
than she is to the picture public.
She is starring now In the stage
production on view at the Princess
Theater in New York. Last year
she was on B iway In white
Collars" and before that in "The
Complex" and 1.-THE Bridegroom,
naming them In the reverse order
OF their production. Invariably
she has played the role OF
bride" She is young, bautiful
and according to the directorial
experts she screens beautifully"
This Is not the first time she
has been In pictures. Her very
first theatrical attempt was in a
studio and she did get on the set.
That was when they were filming
Get Rich Quick Wallingford."
She invited all her friends to see
her in the picture, only to find that
the editor had eliminated the en-.
tire sequence in whit i she had
been photograpt Right then
and there she forsook the movies
for the spoken drama. Now she
returns to take a star role.
An Interesting sidelight on her
contribution to THE Broadway
Drifter" Is = she designs and
makes al her own dressoe She
has talent for that realm Of art.
When she first came to H-ew York.
SIC was student at the, School,
of Fine and Applied Arts s,n
ported herself by ma"t,y dresses
for students at the Three Arts
Club, where she lived.

Deems Taylor, the polished
writer on music and composer
Of the new Metropolitan opera
in English, "The Kings Hench-
men," is being showered with
congratulations as is Edna st.
Vincent INLAY, who did the
lyrics for the GATH Gassasa
troupe. Taylor did a musical
show, which had very brief
career at the old Garrick The
alter on F Street and was called
"Heigh Ho." Incidentally he
led the orchestra at. the pre-
miere of that musical, which was
another instance of his versa
tility. The piece folded up after
its one week in Washington,
although it is generally admit
ted Mr.. Taylor supplied it with
some gorgeous melody. Later
he commanded the attention of
Broadway by doing the Incl

To relieve anxious iriquirers
it may be stated that "The
Legend of Lenora,'' which
Grace George will present at
the Belasco the week of March
IA, is one of Barrie's plays
that is not available at the

title, ''The Adored One" but
only in a limited edition and
it is not available in America.
Maude Adams did the play 90
years ago and found it pros

with two seasons work. She

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.--Some
Of the widest, wickedest "hell-holes"
on this hemisphere have sprung up
in the West Indies since the first
rum-runner established base there.
for operations to the Florida coast.
The rum-runners who smuggle
liquor into Florida and who inhabit
the little Bahama villages where the
stuff is loaded on board are, for the
most part, the most lawless of char
acters, according to the description
OF the coast guard, which has cap
tured quite a few of them In the
course Of 100 seizures made in Flor
la pEatsrs since February.
Bahamas Headquarters
The headquarters of these bands
are located in some of the islands of
the Bahama group lying nearest the
Florida coast.
The notorious Gun Cay, which is
Aabout a mile long and very narrow,
Tiles less than seven miles south of
South N8imini Island. Small boats
can find good shelter within the cay
by passing around the southern
edge. Gun Cay is only fifty miles
southeast of Miami.
Another rum-runners' nest is the
Cat Gays, two narrow wooded islets
some forty feet high, separated by
small channel and about four miles
southeast of Gun Cay.
Harbor Is Crowded
North and South Bimini, names
synonymous with rum-running, are
two irregularly shaped, sandy islands
some fifty miles east of Miami.
The Grand Bahama Island Is
about sixty-five miles long, east to
west 1t is the South Atlantic
smuggling iifdustry's biggest center.
West End, at westernmost tip, is
the point where most of the liquor
is shipped from, as it offers fair
anchorage and is nearest to the
American coast.
Scores of vessels are often to be
seen in the harbor at West End, ac-,
cording to coast guardsmen who
have visited the place, and nearly
all of them are rum-runners. Large,
warehouses and vast quantities of
liquor are stored on shore. waiting
to be taken away in "hams." A ham
is half dozen bottles sewed up in
a burlap bag.
