FIVE MEN KEEP
THEIR EYE ON
MUTUAL

There are five men constantly
travelling the Mutual circuit.
While. specifically, their duties
call for the inspection and the inn
provement of the shows, they
nevertheless find time to get
around the various cities visited,
and by observation and converse
ton, are enabled to acquire a
pretty good idea Of general condi-
lions surrounding the burlesque
business.
Compared with the average for
the last five years on October 1.
the gross receipts of the theaters
on the Mutual circuit are this sea-
son 2z1z per cent greater. This is
largely accounted for by the Gu
xnulative interest that has steadily
manifested itself in the burlesque
form of amusement. And this
growing interest undoubtedly is
due to the improved quality and to
the increased extent Of our pro-
auctions. Regular patrons Of bur-
lesque and theatergeers generally
have been quick to recognize these
changes, and now patrons by the
hundreds, both men and women,
are being acquired at every point
on the circuit.

How the Flag of Erin

When Jubal Cain, in the dawn

and shamrocks, to ease the burden
of the heavy harp he carried on
his shoulders, he unwittingly made
the first irish flag. For when he
took the harp down he saw i'm
pressed on one corner of the green
mat the outlines OF the harp.
He liked the design and wove
another mat of linen fibers. dyed
it green and had a woman en-
broider in threads OF gold pic

All of which is brought out to

LON CLANCY AS
HIGH CLASS
COP

Cooking 'soptical'' food for pic
ture sets is a branch of culinary
art distinct and different from the
art OF the restaurant chef, and In
many ways more exact. For the
foods that the actor eats in BAN
quet scenes, cafe revels and so
forth, isn't like the food Of the
dining table at all-and tateS very
different indeed.
They are prepared to look like
ordinary food to the camera.
where regular food would look
very different. For instance,
corned beef, which is q deep red,
would film as black, except that
for pictures It is first bleached by
being picked.
Lon CLANCY, in while the City
Sleeps" his new Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer starring vehicle now play
ing Loewss Palace, had to eat an
odd bin Of fare in the cafe scene.
He ate pale pink frankfurters and
light blue sauerkraut. In fact,
the makeup Of the dinner was as
strange. he maintains, as any Of
his own famous diguises.
The frankfufters were ''bleached"
so they wouldn't be too red and
photograph black. and the sauer-
kraut was made blue by being Inn
mersed in BURBERRY juice so that
its natural texture would "pick
up" in the lens.
CLANCY plays an entirely new
role to him in the new picture, in.
which he appears as a police
plainclothes detective in a vivid
battle against gangsters in New
York. The play IL a vivid ro-
nance OF the inside" of life on
the New York police force, with a
dramatic romance told in an
underworld feud. Anita Page is
the heroine, and the cast includes
Carroll Nye, Wbeeler Oakman.
Polly Moran, Richard earle, Lydia
Yeamans Titus. Clinton Lyle and
many others OF note. Jack Con-
way, director OF Twelve Miles
