Jake Rosenthal wires this
.Information from New York
to The Bee:
"Pretentious plans for a 'scamper,'
which will take the company clear to
the Pacific coast, have been completed
by the White Rats. A special train
bearing nearly one hundred slnnrr,
dancers and actors, will leave New York
early In June for Chicago, where the
first performance would be given at the
auditorium June 8. The company will
then go to Kansas City, Omaha, Den
ver, Colorado Springs, Cheyenne, Salt
Lake City, Reno, Fresno, Sacramento,
San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego,
Santa Barbara, 6an Jose and Oakland.
It will then come back to New York
without playing, ' The round trip - will
occupy but seventeen days. The profits
will go to the charity fund of the White
Rata and the actors' fund. Nora Bayes,
Grace Larue, Dorothy Jardon, Jose Col
lins, Clara Morton, Frank Fogarty, John
and Emma Ray, Dolmore and Lee,
Moran and Wiser, and Olive Briscoe are
soma of tha people who will go on tour
with The Scamper.' ' The tour will end
at Oakland, and after a three days' visit
at the Panama-Pacific fair the company
wll come direct home."
"The Christian," as a novel, reached
only one-twentieth aa many persons as it
has In the form of a photo-play. Count
ing its book circulation and the number
of men women and children who have
seen the film dramatisation of Hal)
Calne's masterpiece. It is computed that
"Tha Christian" had the greatest cir
culation of any literary work outside of
the Bible. ,
Few novels have been adaptable to
dramatisation without losing all of the
original atmosphere, but critics have said

that "The Christian" as a play Is mora
effective and convincing than It was aa a
book. Mr. Calne In writing the book
never dreamed It . would some day be a
picture play, but the dramatic intensity
of Its scenes led Inevitably to a movie
production. In the pictures. It is possible
to reproduce the scenes In the original
settings and In more detail than would
' be possible In the legitimate drama.
Miss Edith Storey, who has the part
of Glory Quayle In the play, was selected
for the part after all of the prominent
snars of the motion picture world had been
considered and rejected. Miss Storey
chanced to be the particular type of
woman for the part, and when her many
successes were taken Into account, It was
decided to entrust her with the biggest
role ever given a woman star. Miss
Storey appears In nearly every scene of
the play and at no time does nor work
suffer In the slightest from over-work.
"The Christian" with M!s 8torey and
Barle Williams a John Storm will be
seen at the Brandela theater one week
beginning with , the matinee this after
noon.' ,;Thre .Weeks,',' a film drama deput
ing the story of a queen without a coun
try and a king without a throne, will
be the attraction at the Brandeis thea
ter for four days only, June to 10. Tha
remarkable likeness of the principals In
the cast to the characters In the novel
add greatly to tha film version and
creates the impression that they are ac
tually living the lives of the famed lov
ers. As It stands by itself. It Is an ex
ceptionally entertaining production, en
tirely original and acted and produced
splondldly by aotors and a director who
thoroughly understood their work.
The Empress offers a vaudeville bill
decidedly different from tha ordinary for
the first half of the week. Toots Paka
and her Hawailans, singers and Instru
mentalists, headline tho bill. This aot
features Miss Paka In her original hula
hula dance. Houah and La veil e present
a comedy novelty skit, entltlod, "When

ported as gloom dlspellera. Harry
Holmes, blackface comedian and a bunch
of fun, together with Ramono Ortes and
company, tight wire artists, close the
vaudeville bill.
The new picture policy having proven
so successful, the management has com
pleted arrangements to continue tho as
sorted program. Tha picture program at
