Keith $ Open Again.

IN moving his popular Savoy Musical
Comedy Co. to Keith's this week,
Charles Emerson Cook believes that the
central location of Keith's and its ac-
feasibility will not only please the regular
subscribers but will interest many other
theater goers who are not yet weekly
patrons.
With the greater seating capacity of
Keith's and the fact that from each
seat in that beautiful playhouse one
can see and hear perfectly. the theater-
going public who have generously
patroniZed the musical comedy offerings
of the Savoy musicomedians for the
past Is weeks. will be able to secure not
only better seats, but seats at even lower
prices than in the past
The revised prices will retain only the
first IL rows Of the orchestra at $3.50.
All the other orchestra seatS-over 400
In number-will be $1.00. The low,
popular price Of rs cents Is all that will
be charged for the entire mezzanine-
450 seats-and only so cents will be
charged for the entire balcony~-over
400 seats. And for the mid-week
matinee on Thursday, so as not to
conflict with the National Players. the
charge will be rs cents and so cents
This viii be the charge also for the
regular Saturday matinee.
The new Savoy Players will present

: Dogs Present Danger.

|NAVAJO dogs, sinking through the
night, presented the greatest wild
animal" menace to the company from
the Paramount studio in Hollywood
during the filming of Redskins, +"
Richard Dixs new picture. almost en-
tirely filmed in technicolor and COM
plete with sound.
Most of "Redskin." was filmed in the
heart of the Navajo reservation in
Northern Arizona, in and about the
Canyon de Chiefly, about 100 miles from
the nearest railroad. The Navajos own
many dogs and the animals are never
fed. Food for man is scarce and
water is scarcer.
Consequently, when the moving pic
ture troupe established its kitchens, the
dogs within so miles learned the good
news and they came like a pack of
wolves each night. The Waterman was
forced TO build fires to keep the dogs
away. for, in packs. they are utterly
wild and would not hesitate to attack
a man, although. during the day, they
are towards and quietly herd the little
f1ocks of sheep from which the Navajos
get the wool for their we'll known
blankets.

Accidental Realism.

AN interesting, If accidental, touch OF
realism was to be found on the lot
during the filming Of Weary River. u
the new First National Vitaphone pic
ture starring Richard Barthelmess
which Is playing this week at the Met
ropolitan Theater.
It consisted of the scores of extras In
prison uniform waiting between scenes
usually in silent groups, such as are al
ways to be found in real prisons when
rest periods are being enjoyed. There
was the somber makeup and authentic
uniforms, the blank walls of the stages
and the general lack of conversation
all wildly reminiscent of the original
scene.
Weary River" is the first picture In
which Richard Barthelmess will bs
heard as well as seen, In the Vita
phone sequences the convict he portrays
viii speak and play the piano.
