"Yellow Men and Golf" .
Pomanee and vivid" imagination

have delighted in, develops so many
twists and turns that every moment
is crowded with excitement:
All the elements or romance enter
into "Yellow Men , and Gold." A
beautiful love story, a treasure quest,
a ternnc s struggle oeiween two
groups of treasure seekers, the final
softens the memory of a life given to
conscienceless scheming, are all

public presentation during the month
of July.
This. Is the production in which
Rodriloti Cameron make hit first
screen appearance since hit marriage
to the star five yean ago.
A a rich young spendthrift,
Mr. Cameron plays the leading
role opposite hi wife and woo her
with all the ardor and romantic gal
lantry that marked hi couruhip ol
Mi Stewart five year hack. Hi
effort are more tuccetiful in real
fife.' however, for in the picture he
lose to another man.
Previou to hi entry in the film.
Rudolph Cameron was considered
one of the y'everest young men on
the stage. He played leading role
m many big Broadway productions,
scoring his greatest triumph in "Rich
Man, Poor Man." in which he inter,
prtted the former characters. He
met Miss Stewart at the Vitagraph
studio, where he wa her leading
man in "Clover' Rebellion" and otb
er picture. After their marriage he
gave up hi own acting career to
handle the business rein of her con
pany.
Mr. Cameron is very quick and de
cisive in his actions, and when he
made up his mind to quit the screen
he intended that it be for good, but
he reckoned without Fred Niblo. In
casting "Rose O' the Sea," the di
rector thought that Mr. Cameron
was exactly the right type for the
leading role. An argument ensued,
but in the end Mr. Cameron submit
ted to the demands of art His per
formance, it is said, is one of the out
standing features of "Rose O the
Sea." .

Actor7 Wants to Be Jockey
4 yjC t
As with most boys of the bob-sled and swimming-hole age, Darrel Foss'
early youth was fired by an ambition to become a jockey. His father owned
a string ol racing horses that used to run on the tracks of Chicago and Mil
waukee, and Darrel for a long time could not imagine the future unless it
held a striking picture of himself breaking die tape on one of his dad's
horses. , Indirectly, it was through his skill as a rider that he got into pic
tures years later 'when the family residence was transferred to California.
In his latest release, The -Woman He Married," starring Anita Stewart, at
the Strand theater tins week, Foss has one of the leading roles as a million
aire's son whose chief diversion is spending money and signing "I O. U's."
In the above picture he is seen with dainty Miss Stewart
Natives of Yap
Are Missing in
Coming Picture

clares he t is not a Scandinavian
either by descent or birth. He is an
American. ,
Anne Schaeffer is of Teutonic an
cestry; Edwin Stevens if American,

Arliss New Play
George Arliss has begun work on
"The Silent Call,", his next picture
for United Artists. In the cast are
Edward Earle, winner of the male
screen star, popularity contest re
cently held in New York, and Ant
Forest The leading juvenile role
will be played by Earle, while Miss
Forest is cast as the heroine. Arliss
will -take the star role as a musi
cian whose career is blighted by sud
den deafness when he is at the height
of success. Jules Eckert Goodman
wrote the play, and Arliss acquired
it from Otis Skinner. Like Arliss'
most successful film productions, the
human qualities dominate the theme.
More than any other, however, "The
Silent Call" is to give Arliss a wide
contrast of humor and pathos to
portray.

of the greatest character actors on
the screen, is cast as Denton Drew,'
a banker, in "Fools First" -at the

his hobby is employing criminals as
tellers and cashiers with the idea of
regenerating them. His is one of
the most novel parts ever seen in a
photoplay. . V
