Gillette'S Tribute.

TO william Gillette, the actor, has
come mass tribute that few are
privileged to realize. The testimonials
have come from all parts of the Ma
ton.
The revival ofsthe Conan Doyle play,
Sherlock Holmes" for Mr.. Gillettes
farewell to the stage called them forth.
Washington has been honored in that
Sherlock Holmes" will come directly
from New York, opening here on the
night of January 8.
Through the mails there has come a
printed sheet, so huge that it had to
be cut into parts to be read, containing
reproductions of the letters received
by Mr.. Gillette. Extracts from few
are here given:
Calvin Coolidge: ct will be a real
opportunity both for enjoyment and
education to see and hear you again in
characters. I feel that you are per-
forming real public service for the
dramatic art in conSenting to present
the character of Sherlock Holmes again,
and wish to express to you my appre-
citation of your being willing to undergo
the inconvenience and sacrifice that I
know is involved"
Arthur Conan Doyle: "May add my
word to those which are addressed to
you upon the occasion of your return
to the stage? That this return should
be in Sherlock Holmes is, of course, a
source Of personal qualification, my
only complaint being that you make
the poor hero of the anaemic printed
page very limp object as compared
with the glamour of your own person.
atty which you infuse into the stage
presentment. But, in any case, you are
bringing back to the world something
very precious in your own great pow.
ers, and I rejoice to know it,"
Booth Harrington: Your return to
the stage is a noble and delightful
event and, speaking for myself, would
rather see you play Sherlock Holmes
than be a child again on Christmas
morning"
Rev. DR.. S. Parkes Cadman: May I
seize upon this opportunity to congrat-
ulate you upon your splendid career
and also to indicate the profound sat-
iSfaction that this decision will give to
all who know you? They compose a
multitude of the best wishers for the
theaters in every city and town
throughout the Nation"
Minnie Maddern Fiske: 1T Is with
utter joy that hear Of your return to
the stage"
Walter Hampden: 1.-THE news that
you are to return to the stage "
delights me more than can say.
Sherlock Holmes and Secret Service
are among my cherished memories"
Nicholas Murray Butler: ut is with
deep satisfaction that I learn you are
to return to the stage, If only for an
ave atque vale To see Sherlock
Holmes again will be rare treat, and
to hear the applause that will greet
the only actor member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters will be q
deep satisfaction"
John Philip Sousa: II am happy to
know that you are making another tour
to show the people Of this generation
that we had actors in our generation"
Winthrop Arnes: I'VE Of the theater

The Snoring Picture c4lbnm


What we must do Is gather together In
the wee sma' hours and work with our
rooster when we know he IL In the
proper mood to play this scene"
So the entire studio star assembled
at 4 am. and prepared for action. The
Count was there, too. smoking a brand
of cigarette which is said to be good
for the throat.
But this time the Count was more
cagey. He didn't intend to let the
rooster see him when he was Growing.
He went outside the studio, and when
the golden sun of California thrust its
head above the stately peaks of the
Sierras. he started to crow.
His voice drifted into the studio, as
from some distant barnyard, and the
rooster on the platform pricked up his
ears. widened his eyes. braced himself
and went through all the other neces-
sary motions. Then he, too, started to
crow. the cameras started to grind, and
there was wild rejoicing among the en-
ployes of Joseph p. Kennedy When
several hundred feet Of Aim had been
taken. the boys rushed out 10 congratu-
late the Count and to tell him he
wouldn't be needed any more. He was
nowhere to be seen. They looked and
peared.
Searching parties were instantly or
ganized. and one Of them discovered
the count. walking down the main street
OF Culver City toward the local police
station. He was not going voluntarily.
Indeed, he was being pushed and drag
ged thither by two stalwart oficers of
the law.
The count was protesting vigorously,
but the cops we're paying no attention
to him. They were saying soothin9ly,
Now that's all right, brother. We un-
derstand how you feel, and we're going
to take good care Of you. Everything
will be all right. We know you're q.
rooster, and we're taking you right back
to the hen house where you can have
q nice big pan full Of dried corn for
WHENEVER you see Pathe fea-
w ture picture, Pathe comedy or a
Pathe sound news reel you will see the
rooster and you will hear his crow
and you will know that this entertain
ment is being brought to you as a result
Of the Counts scientific understanding
OF the animal kingdom. AS to the
Count himself, he was, of course. re-
leased from the custody Of the Culver
City police, who had picked him up
while he was Growing in the middle OF
the high road at 4 am. Furthermore,
ne has found 1t profitable to abandon
his vaudeville career and to remain In
Hollywood, where he is earning huge
sums doing his specialties in talking
pictures.
The chances are you will never see
his face on the screen, but 1t is pleas
ant to know that It is he who doubles
for Rim Tin Tin, Rex the Wild Horse
and probably for the German zeppe-
Inns in THE Sky Hawk"
The conductor of this column wishes
all Of you, and especially Miss Greta
Carlo, an extremely Merry Christmas.

But when burlesque audiences see

A Century After-or Before.

ONE HUNDRED years after the date
of Jules Verne's birth, a picture re-
fiecting his famous fantastic idea of
the first submarine, is being flashed on
the screen of the Columbia Theater as
a sort of unique celebration of the an
niversary of the great author.
With all the advantages accorded by
synchroniaztion of sound and sight,
much of it was filmed below the white
caps and on the floor of the ocean, ana
hundreds Of people. strange submarine
creatures with Inanlike bodies, with ac-
tors walking about in diving armor,
amid settings Of natural colors, are thus
revealed in this Metro Goldwyn-May
picture as of life as it is today.
Verne was born In Nantes in 1928,
yet his first successful story was not
written until 1863, the time of the Civil
WGr in America. But others more dar-
ing in imagination quickly followed
until Twenty Thousand Leagues TN
der the Sea" fairly took the world by
storm.
Jules Verne died at Amiens in 1905,
before he had completed a novel en-
bodying his idea for story combining
submarine and flying machine.
