This edition reminds one of a
dictionary or an atlas because it is
so large. AS usual more than a
hundred and fifty pages is devoted
to greetings from men and women
on the stage and screen, producers
and the like.
One of the features is a re-
production of the first edition of
Variety, Dec. Is, 1905. Since that
time variety has grown into COM

I went back stage and met Cesar
Romero who plays the role of Count
Di Ruvo, the romantic opera singer
who has strictly dishonorable in
tentions' toward Isabelle Parry,the
southern girl, who nearly goes on a
fling of a rather wild nature, but
doesn't. She is content to go to bed
with a Teddy bear, meaning the toy
that children play with.
Romero had to raise a mustache
for the role. 1t looks mighty young
and tender, but it is getting the best
of attention. I doubt if it ever
grows up, but Romero must have a
young mustache while playing this
role.

With the farm lands of the mid

setting, The Right to Love" is
concerned with the romance be-
tween Naomi Kellogg ruth Chat

David Manners. Parental opposition
to the match leads the lovers to
meet secretly at the brook between
the two farms.
Their plans to marry are blasted
by the tragic accidental death of
Copeland. The girls parents dis
cover the secret love affair and insist
on her marriage to a stern, middle

up without learning the true facts

desperate struggle between the

lates, that some one might be in
duced to print it, if I threw IN two
illustrations. Luckily, didn't SEND
them with the manuscript, however,
as Mr.. Mcclure had considerable
taste. and 1 can't imagine reading
anything the writer of which had
done anything like them"
The final goal of publication for
this one romance converted prac-
tically overnight young man out
in Indianapolis, wasting his time In
seeming useless literary Efforts into
a new force in American romantic
writing.
While Mr.. Harrington no longer
resorts to the doubtful aid of pic
lures to capture publisher, his
artistic instinct is by no means
dead, as the piquant little sketches
in his personal correspondence will
testify. And planning some OF his
later work. he has been known to
resort to pictures to visualize scenes
and characters.
1.-The Two Van Revels" was worked
out in this way. This particular work
was published after Booth Tarking-
ton had won his audience through
the successes of "The Gentleman
from Indiana" and Monsieur
Beaucaire." But the germ of THE
Two Van Revels" was short story
of two thousand words written
many years before.
In anything like the form in
which it finally appeared, "The
Gentleman From Indiana" was not
begun until 1898. Yet as early as
1898 the author had written 10000
words of tale about a young col
lege graduate who became an editor
of a country newspaper in town
very like Plattsville.
But the early narrative had end
ed abruptly one day when the au-
thor had his hero in the middle of
walk, and suddenly found him
self unable to carry him even one
step further. AS a matter OF fact,
one part of the story had an even
earlier origin. The circus scene,
one of the best descriptive chap
tiers in the book, appeared in a
Princeton college publication when
Harrington was still an UNDER
graduate.
And so with Colonel Satan. Mr..
Harrington never rushes his friends
and his characters in books, plays
and stories are his friends-more-
integral parts of his own innermost
being. He lives with them, plays
with them, loves them, and then
some fine day, like parent who
has given all he can to a child,
sends them forth in the world to
stand or fall on their own merits.
Aaron Burr, the man, has always
fascinated Mr.. Harrington. He is
probably THE authority on this
troublesome, alluring spirit OF
American history. Always walking
and talking with Burr, and having
lived much in Paris, it was the nat
ural thing for Booth Harrington to
seek out Burr's haunts in the
French city: to find out to the last
detail how the man spent those Bit
ter months Of 1911.
From this great knowledge, GER
tain facts forced themselves to the
front; certain events refused to be
longer ignored; they had become
real substance-no longer dreams.
And Colonel Satan" was born,
years ago. And when he had
reached his full stature, the author
of his being sent him forth.

Today's burglars are far too smart
Tor that sort of trick, knowing that
they would easily be detected by
modern burglar alarms. In trying
to devise a logical substitute for the
antiquated method, Director Wood
conceived an idea from watching the
night work of telephone company

duits under the street paving in
front of his home.
Observing the operations of the
hnesmen, it struck the director that
such a disguise might be employed

was put into action, and that is
why in the new Crawford film the
racketeers seize a telephone truck,
drive it to the scene of the planned
robbery and use it as a. mask for
their nefarious activities.

OPENS AT APOLLO

The indefinable charm and joy
BUSINESS Of Vienna, the ancient and
glamorous capital, is caught and
preserved in "Viennese Nights" the
screen romance which opened today
at the Apollo theater, for one
weeks engagement.
For some reason gaiety seems to
have been a little more natural there
than elsewhere, youth little more
carefree, music a bit more tender.
Songs sing themselves more easily
in such an atmosphere and young
love dares more in its kindly en-
virons, it has been asserted.
ALI Of these intangible things Sig
mund Romberg and Oscar Hammer
stein II have written into the
haunting romance. Ronberg spent
his own youth In Vienna, and his
love for it is sincere, it is thought.
"Viennese Nights" is famous alike
for it's glorious musical settings, the
color photography that adds so
greatly to the beauty Of the produc-
ton, and the featured cast includes

NEW HARRINGTON
PLAY TO OPEN MONDAY
Booth Harrington, author of
Colonel Satan," which will be pre-
sented by George G. Tyler at the
English Opera house on Monday,
Jan. 5, believed more firmly in his
pencil than in his pen, at the be-
ginning of his career.
That most delightful romance of
eighteenth century Bath, Monsieur
Beaucaire," grew from a picture
which Booth Harrington started in
his undergraduate days at Prince
ton. One day he started work on
picture which showed ladies in
powder and brocaded petticoats
with their attendant beaux in knee
breeches-the dress of eighteenth
century England. The picture be-
came a part of him. He studied it
by day and dreamed of it by night.
From these dreams and hauntingS
there gradually came the story Of
Monsieur Beaucaire." But when
the little novel was finally written,
it Travelled a long and heart
breaking time-being returned time
after time to its author. So long
was this period of seeming failure
that Mr.. Harrington was tempted
to draw another picture-a pencil
sketch of the final scene of the
story, where Beaucaire steps from
his false position and appears as a
prince of the blood and cousin to
"his most Christian majesty Louis
XIV Of France"
