SCHAEFER'S CAR
BACK HOME But
NUMBER Is CUT

Whether it is stealing automobiles
or anything else, this is a small
world and full OF surprises. With
that statement both Pete Schacfer
and the man who stole his automobile
some three months ago when he was
at Silver City, NJ M, no doubt would
readily agree. To Schaefer the sur
prise was when he found his auto
mobile. To the other fellow it was
surprise that brought court ex-
rerience yet to be determined Here
is the story.
Mr.. Schaefer was temporarily at
Tyrone for 9 period on some business
and during his stay there he took
occasion to visit Silver City one day
When he went to get his car to
return to Tyrone, the car was miss
ing. He reported it promptly to the
sheriff and peace officers and they
started a search. Nothing came of
the search from the official angle
and Schaefer met his needs for a
car by getting another one, Dut he
had not forgotten the lost one and
was keeping his eye out, figuratively
speaking, in the hope that he would
some day see it. And he did.
Some days ago, Schaerer returned
to Warren, his home town, and was
getting ready to make a trip about
town with Mrs. Scheefer and it
happened that he left the house
ahead of her and was standing look
ing about when some 100 or more
feet away from him standing beside
the curb he observed the car as his
property, the one that had been
stolen from him at Silver City. so
he acted promptly.
Calling his wife, he had her go to
the telephone and call the police and
they came and took possession Of the
car. They found that the engine
number had been changed but there
were other identifying MARKS about
the car that made it easily possible

Although the mechanical difficulties

the climactical scene, where the greater
part of the talking is done, is tense
with drama and convincing. Miss
Dresser'S portrayal of the role of the
ambitious mother is masterful and Miss

EARLE-"The Wedding March,"


That long-awaited and much-dis-
cussed picture drama, which original
ed in the mind of Erich Won Stroheim,
and was then worked out through
couple of years and at an enormous ex-
pense by this same originator, THE
Wedding March," is now ready for pub
lie consumption at the Earle. The en-
tertainment value of the photoplay is
above the average, but it shows, with
out doubt, that considerable trouble has
been experienced in getting it down to
an exhibition basis. The final fade
out leaves the audience in the air; after
1t is all over, one is inclined to wonder
what it is all about, and why.
The scene of the story is the gay
Vienna of pre-war days, when the
Austrian city had reputation rivaling
that of Paris. Won Stroheim, who
plays the leading part, is the typical
Austrian officer of the period according
to fiction ideas), and he Is forced by
his parents into marriage with the
crippled daughter of rich man, while
he is in love with daughter of the
people. All this comes about through
financial difficulties, and the title of
the picture is derived from one of the
final scenes of the drama, when the
elaborate cathedral wedding unites the
young officer and the heiress. The Of
flcer'S neglected sweetheart watches the
proceedings from a sidewalk view
point; the bride and bridegroom ride
away IN their carriage; the story is
ended
Considerable of the popularity of the
picture will come from the attention to
detail, the selection of players for the
character photography. One of the
outstanding features is the procession
of Corpus Christi, a ceremony in which
the late Emperor Franz Josef has a
part.
Fay Wray is given her first real
chance, playing the part OF Mitzi, sweet
heart of Nicki won Stroheim). ZaSu
Pitts is the crippled heiress, and her
wealthy father is well represented by
George Nichols. George Fawcett. long
known to photoplay fans, has the
character part of Nicki's father and
Maude George is the mother. A syn
chroniZed music score is well selected
and the program is concluded with an
abbreviated news reel.
In viewing THE Wedding March"
one is confronted with the idea that
the picture, in its entirety, must have
been a monumental work. Won Stro-
helm devoted his attention to it-writ-
ing, directing and acting-for year or
4IICI1, d1bCl ola CApClloC VI 1AN1A~
dredS of thousands of dollars, his cut
ting room was filled to the ceiling with
reels. The producers started him on
the cutting process, and after months
of such work Won Stroheim announced
that he had the picture down to about
so reels; that he could not, in justice
to himself and to the story, cut any
more. At this point the picture was
taken from the directors hands and
other experts were put on the cutting
job Months passed. The drama went
from one expert to another. One idea
concerned the making of two complete
pictures from the Won Stroheim reels,
but this was not done. Finally THE
Wedding March was ready for exhibit
ton, and it would be interesting, al
though probably somewhat tiresome, to
see the so reels as Won Stroheim left
them.

COLUMBIA-"Our Dancing

The audience and spectators waited
full 80 minutes for Our Dancing

lays were quickly forgotten when Joan
Crawford opened the piece, playing for
tissimo with a pair of twinkling ankles.

10 best. Joan is vivacious, dynamic and
breath-taking in the first scenes. when
she exemplif1es the mighty person of a

picture predicts the logical development
of American f1apperism; it will become
an institution of elite society, as the
soiree litteraire or the salon. Your
Honor, Miss Flapper, is to emerge a
highly socialized creature given to the
utmost frankness and frivolity; but, as
Joan shows, there Turk somewhere in
her makeup the solid refinements that
make honorable women.

singer and was frequent guest at the

the little flower girl, the opera singer
has occasion to prove her devotion by
protecting the empress in several in
stances from scandal. A satisfactory
ending to a love theme adds the usual
interest. The historical atmosphere is
