West Point Interested.

WEST POINT, y. Y, August 13.-
The new picture of cadet life at
the United States Military Academy,
taken at West Point by the Donald
Crisp Co. of the c. r. DeMille or
ganization, is nearing completion.
The most important scenes have been
shot, with the exception of the
maneuver sequence, and some of the
pictures show extraordinary artistic
value.
The picture taken of the hop Sat-
urday night has shown up on the
screen satisfactorily and graduates
who have seen the picture are
pleased with the success of Mr.
Crisp, the director.
Many interesting incidents have
arisen during the taking of the pic
lures Most frequent is the mistake
made by many cadets and officers
who commence conversations of an
official nature with either Clarence
Gelde.t. who is filling the role Of the
commandment, or William Boyd, Wal
Ter TennysOn, Hugh Allen or Maurice
Ryan, men of the cast appearing iii

rected these members of his COM
pany to scrupulously fulfill every de-
tail of regulation and custom, re-

of officers or cadets, even when not
actually working in scene, when
ever they wear a uniform.
In their efforts to obtain an au-
thentic picture Mr.. Crisp and his as
sistant director, Mr.. DeRuelle, had a
search made for young lady
familiar with cadet customs. In one
such personality. Miss Sally Sharon,
academy officials and graduates be-
leve they have succeeded in obtain :

with cadet life the past few years.
Miss Sharon, who is still in her
teens, was resident of the garrison

NATIONAI-"The Donovan Affair"

1.-THE Donovan Affair."" which will
be offered at the National Theater next
week, following The Swan" is de-
scribed as an artfully concocted mys-
terry play, fashioned by that prolific
person, Owen Davis, who in his time
has turned out $50 plays.
The story deals with a young man
named Jack Donovan. who considers
every woman his prey. He is MUIR
dered in the library of Peter Rankin
in Westchester while that gentleman
is entertaining a houseful of guests.
The police come in, close the doors and
allow no one to depart until the mys-
terry Is cleared up.
Every one in the room prior to the
stabbling has reasons for disliking the
Donovan fellow. Consequently, sus.
picion Is distributed among all. The
crime was certainly committed in the
room. No one has left the house.
Consequently, the guilty one must be
numbered among the guests.
The action is concerned with clear
ing up the loose ends and discovering
who was quick and silent enough to
slip n knife between the roues ribs
during the moment the lights were
put out to permit Donovan to show a
luminous and peculiar cat's-eye ring.
1.-THE Donovan Affair" Is success
Of last season in New York, and was
seen at the National toward the close
of the season.
