By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 10, 1861.-A Wisconsin
regiment in the division of Gen. Nc
Dowell. stationed on the Virginia side
of the Potomac River. thought this eve
ming that it had discovered the Con-
federate Army advancing in large
force upon the Union lines defending
Washington.
In an instant this news" wss tele-
graphed to military headquarters here
and in a quarter of an hour the d.
visions commanded by Gems. Summer,
HeintZleman, Franklin, Blenker, Nc
Dowell, Porter and Mccall were all I'M
der arms and preparing to meet the
foe that was believed to be marching
upon the Federal City
Scouts were thrown out instantly to
feel for the enemy in every direction.
So far as could be learned up to-
late hour tonight, the Confederate Ar
my is not moving in this direction at
all. The Wisconsin regiment seems to
have been entirely in error. Probably
the volunteer soldiers, who were re-
SponSible for the excitement, mistook
accommodating force from Blenker's di-
vision of the Union Army for the
Confederates.
Thus far. no signs of the Confederate
Army have been found this side of
Fairfax Court House, Va.
The Mount Washington arrived at
the navy yard tonight from down the
river and reported all quiet on the
lower Potomac. The steamer Yankee,
having completed her repairs, left the
yard to join the Federal flotilla in the
lower river. She is expected to re-
lieve the Harriet Lane as flagship.
Seamen at the navy yard today
manned the launches and cutters at
the yard and, under Lieut.. Parker,
rowed out into the stream, where they
engaged in a sham fight, lasting some
time. Each boat carried a rifled
howitzer, which played away in furi-
Gus style. The men performed adj
mirably and executed the various evo-
buttons with their little feet in man.

their officers.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 10
(N.AN.A0. -Greta Carlo will go right
on talking. Now that she has broken
the ice, her forthcoming audible has
already been chosen. Romance" the
colorful story by Edward B. Sheldon
which served as almost a lifelong We
hicle for Doris Keane, is the story de-
cided upon.
This will present the repressed and
somewhat glacial Carlo in the role of a
tempestuous italian prima donna, Caval-
lini. Her English must carry heavy
Italian accent and her raven curlS
should bob vehemently as she emotes.
Hollywood has compulsion for casting
people in roles that are directly anti
pathetic for what they are endowed by
nature to do. It is the same notion
which, working through Samuel Gold
wyn, found Ronald Colman speaking the
lines of a Partisan sneak thief with his
best Mayfair accent.
1t is this same thing which keeps
Norma Shearer, a charming American
girl, with cleannesS of beauty and a
certain valuable patrician air, in a
colony where ariStocracy is rare, playing
the parts of British heroines-this de-
spite the fact that the British accent
had to be elided from THE Last of Mrs
Cheyney' SO far as Miss Shearer was
concerned. She simply couldn't get her
tongue around it convincingly. So she
will play the part of British lady
again in Lonsdale's THE High Road"
And if precedent is closely observed
we may find Rin-Tin-Tin cast as st.
Bernard. Who knows?
Village production economies are al
ways a source of amusement. Motion
pictures cannot be subjected to penny
pinching without grave loss. So hun
dreds of thousands are spent on story,
cast, settings, cameramen, which leaves
the efficiency man nothing to work upon
but the minor details of production.
Imagine his horror when he discov-
cred that the casting director of Jour
neys End" the British war picture be-
ing made, was paying 81 each for the
rental of oochroaches and 50 each for
rats. These charming live stock we're
imported to make the field kitchens
realistic and the trenches SAVIOR of the
wartime flavor.
