J. Iluntrr WiKon and C. Kenton McFvoy present Searle Allen' riot mil hit of (.tree "Regular Pals." Thin cleverly devised little sketch of news paperdom is brilliant in repartee and exceedingly well handled by these two brilliant ftmmakcrs according to all report. The l;our F.rrotes are balancing humorists. Their act while thrilling and sensational is replete with com edv moment and decidedly original. Kverybody will laugh loud and long at the antics of 'Little Jim" who, by the way, is a big brown bear. Jim roller skates, wrestles, does the latest jazz dances and all in all is a 'beast of remarkable intelli gence. On the great organ Arthur plavi "Bamboo Bay.' Mary Aldcn, Cullen Landis and Slyvia Breamer appear in a picture feature of unusual worth called 'The -Man With Two Mothers." Two distinct featured acts are to be presented in the vaudeville show which opens at the Empress today. One is to be the act of Four Kings and Dad, three sisters, brother and Dad, who are to offer, comedy har mony singing. The act features Lorctta, the little comedienne and tenor. All are youthful and possess natural voices combined with clean wholesome comedy. The other fratured act is to be presented by Rov La Pearl, conceded to be the world's greatest aerialist. All of his tricks are of the sensation ally, thrilling kind, that stir an audi ence to the limits of enthusiasm. Such daring and such precision in executing the most difficult feats stamps him as a super-artist. Laura Marsh, known as "The Girl from Lyric Lane" is to appear in an act that is pleasing in its newness. Miss Marsh does not use any pub lished numbers,, all being specially written for her,' and she also has a line of comedy talk that is entirely her owttf Completing the vaudeville program if the team of Monroe and Pardy who are to entertain with comedy songs and dancing. They are char? acter comedians and eccentric dancers and their combination of wit and tal ent makes their act most entertaining. Mabel Normand's Latest Just as the city fellow, who, with his family seeking recreation and a change of season, leaves the humidity of the big town for an exclusive and shady country location, so has Dick Jones, director general of the Mack Sennett comedy organization, made a big jump, from one extreme to an other. Jones has just completed the pro duction of Suzanua," a storv of the early days of southern California, in which Mabel Normand is the star. Jumping from the semi-tropical at mosphere of this story, in which the romantic lives of the historical and picturesque Spanish dons are por trayed, he lands, amid settings of the frozen north, with a story, the basis of which is satire in the extreme, and tVi ctar ic irnni ntlipr tlvm Ren Tur- pin, who will be supported by the beautiful Phyllis Haver. Work on the production of 'The Frozen Trail," which is the title of the new picture, has already been started. Paul Powell ,has completed "Bor derland," starring Agnes Ayres. After a short rest Miss Ayres will start work with William de Mille in "Clarence." ' -..(' vVVil V'' tt I w-A: wmi: r 1 e . . . a t -3 . . .. 3 t 2 . ' i : ' ' Norma May Want World With Fence Around It Next Cullen Landis Wins Popularity I iitB 1 Pie Comedy. Who was the first to use the cus tard pic as a comedy "prop? - The general impression is, per haps, that to Mack Sennett, the comedy producer, goes the honor. Snitz Edwards, who is playing with Wallace Reid in 'The Ghost Breaker," claims that he used the custard pie 35 years ago when he and Sam Ber.nard put on a vaudeville act in a little concert hall in Ho boken. The proprietor, a German named Gansberg, engaged' Edwards and Bernard at $15 a week not $15 apiece, but $15 for the act. They went over good for a week and were approached for a rc-engage-me.'it. "We went back for another week on three conditions." says Snitz. "The first was. that he raise the sal ary to $18; the second that he lend us his head waiter to play a straight part, and the third that he provide one custard pie every night for the props. He agreed to all conditions and we went on again. The last evening of our engagement Gans berg didn't show up with the pie until just before we were to go on the stage. " 'I'm all tired ouid'," he ex plained. "'I went. to six bakeshops but couldn't get any custard pie. So you'll have to use cocoanut.' "The cocoanut served the same purpose, however, so the act went off all light" Deep Drama. t It took practically an entire week to. film the dramatic trial, conviction and sentencing of a girl on a charge of manslaughter in the new Cecil B. DeMille picture, "Manslaughter." Thomas Meighan is the district at torney, Leatrice Joy the defendant, George Fawcett the judge, Edythe Chapman and John Miltern the de fendant's supporters, and Edward Martindale the attorney for the defense. Gangway, please! Stages to the right of them, stages to the left of them, and still not enough for the super-production which is to be Norma Talmadge's next picture, "The Voice From the Minaret," by Robert Hichcns. Three stages alone will be utilized for her sets representing Bombay, Damascus and London. A spired mosque, such as can be seen any where beyond the threshold of the Straits of Gibraltar or across the Suez canal, in architecture reminis cent of Moor and Turk. This will be the extraordinary Damascus set. A notorious and polyglot club in Bombay will show a scene of orien tal grandeur, while London will be represented by the reproduction of a ducal estate. Altogether, the picture will have sets to rival any of those built by Joseph M. Schcnck for a Talmadge production. Frank Lloyd will di rect with Eugene O'Brien and Ed win Stevens as members of the sup porting cast. For the immediate future Eugene O'Brien will be seen on the vaude ville, the star , having turned to his old love, the stage. Betty Compson Has New Side Line Betty Compson has a side line. Besides being a violinist of con cert grade, she could go back into vaudeville with a mind-reading act on one condition. This is, that she have Charles Boyle, one of her cameramen, ask her the questions. They worked out their "system" dur ing, the evenings of a six weeks' loca tion at Trackee, Cal., making scenes for "Over the Border," current this week at the Rialto theater. Kirug Park! Cullen Landis, who made such a success of "It's a Great Life," one of Mary Robert Rinehart's stories, last year, has a fine role in Alice Duer Miller's first original screen story, "The Man with Two Moth ers," at the World theater this week. For nearly a year now, movie fans have been asking what has happened to Landis, and why he hasn't been given something to equal "It's a Great Life." He held out great prom ise in that delightful picture, and while his work in "The Night Rose" and "The Old Nest," two following pictures, was excellent, the movie fans wanted more Cullen Landis. In "The Man With Two Mothers," Landis has another big chance. It's a five-part photoplay and the' young actor has been showered with con gratulations by his professional friends for his characterization of Dennis O'Neill, the boy in the Pic ture, .

Pat Chrisman is a former cow boy pal .of Tom, who was given a place iii-'pictures when Mix became, a star and has been playing in Tom's pictures ever since. It was through Tat that Tony was found, so there is really an element of poetic justice in the horse being returned to the Chrisman family should Tom die. Tony and the Chrisman child are devoted friends; in fact, the horse loves the youngster almost as well as he loves his owner. It was a display of affection between the horse and the daughter of his old pal that prompted" Mix to the pro vision referred to in his will.
