Physical hardship, labor, tech
nical difficulties and actual danger
involved in the filming Of DER
elict," George Bancroft's master
full drama Of the sea and sea-
fearing men, made this picture,
now playing Loew's Palace, the
most gigantic undertaking Of the
stars vivid career.
Filmed on a scale Of epic pro-
portions, "Derelict" called for
such courage from the he-man
hero of "The Wolf of Wall
Street" and Ladies Love Brutes"
as even he was unconscious Of
possessing, according to Rowland
v. Lee, director of the picture.
AS Bancroft stood in a narrow
outboard cabin Of a 4,O00-ton sea
going vessel, for one sequence of
"Derelict," he knew that the
action required a second vessel
of equal tonnage to crash, bow
on, through the steel bulkhead
of the hull at his side. Yet he
stood, feigning ignorance of the
terrific crash, while cameras
watched his reactions with pitilesS
eyes. A second instance requir.
ing complete nerve-control came
when Bancroft stood on the deck
of the vessel waiting for Is tons
of water to come sweeping down
upon him from trap tank IS
feet up a steep incline at his
back.
In neither case could Bancroft
set himself for the blow, or give
any indication that he Gntici.
pated it's coming. The ship COLI
sion scene was filmed far out on
the Pacific, off the coast of
Lower California, and according
to Lee, is one of the most spec
tacular scenes ever made for a
motion picture. It is recorded in
full sound, a special recording
laboratory installed on a lower
deck Of one Of the vessels captur-
ing the sound.
The storm sequences, in which
huge waves sweep over the side
Of the ship on which Bancroft
and his men are standing, were
filmed by Paramount at San Pedro
Harbor, Calf.
The force of each wave was
sufficient to knock the men from
their feet and to sweep them to
the opposite side of the ship.
All Of them, including Bancroft,
were severely bruised and bat
tered by the experience.

She hates the bother of shop

cause he looks upon this habit
as giving away talent, which Is

fully as bank president.
But, there is a reason for Mr..
Mahoney's seriousness. He learned
early in his life the value of
money and the care of it. AS a
lad, he played on the sawdust
heaps of lumber camps in the
Far West, where his mother,
widow, cooked for the lumber.
men. His elder brother took
dancing lessons and passed the
lessons on to Will. The pair
danced in the saloons and honky-
tonks and passed the hat for
coins.
Many a time they were strand
ed when they tried real show
business and had to send home
to mother for carfare. When
they eventually landed in a real
theater, famous Chica go
museum, it was such a big event
that they felt as important as
the President of the Republic.
Will Mahoney'S attitude toward
the theater has never changed.
He feels that he owes the best
that is in him to the people
who pay their money for seats
to witness shows in which he is
appearing. He has a trainer to
keep him in fit. condition that
he may render good service to
his audiences. The result has
been excessive popularity. The
promoters of charity events ask
him to do just some little thing
for the sake Of using his name.
This he will never do. His reply
Is always the same: "The public
Is entitled to your best-my best,
and I would injure my standing
with the public if I gave them
less than my best"
-. This season Maheney introduces
in Sketch Book" the greatest
novelty ever attempted by any
dancer, a dance on specially
constructed xylophone, and he
actually evokes jingling tunes with
his flying feet while dancing.

Helen Hayes Coming
Home Next Month

Helen Hayes is homeward bound
In a play of British origin called
"Petticoat Influence" to be shown
at the Shubert -Belasco Theater,
December 8. Her first produc-
ton Of the season, Mr.. Gil
1ooley," which Washington
missed, did not find favor in the
metropolis, although the critics
said that Miss Hayes gave the
best performance of her entire
meteroic career to stardom.
"Petticoat Influence" is a
charmingly witty comedy of high
political intrigue in the brilliant
drawing room manner and the
role of Peggy Chalfonte affords
Miss Hayes a splendid oppor-
tunity to display her unusual tai
ents as a comedienne. Her por-
trayal of the wee, canny Scotch
lady in Barrie's What Every
Woman Knows" several seasons
ago, was very much the same
type of part.
