,HE season of '18-'19 will be
the final one for Geraldine
,Farrar at the Metropoli
tan. ' That information
was forthcoming this week
from one ot the director
ate board of the opera house, who
stated at the same time appearances
in filnls were responsible for the non
renewal of her contract. Miss Far
rar has appeared in about a half
dozen screen productions, produced
by the Jesse Lasky company, and re
leased, through the Paramount. . -
The- reaso the opera promoters de
cry the picture appearances is be
cause the Metropolitan charges $5 for
their 'star, who may be seen at the
!':l;n theaters at 25 cents or less. Ac
cording to the Metropolitan, Mary
Garden has also forfeited lier future
chances as far as grand opera in this
country is concerned through her pic
ture appearances.
The unusual side of the plaint of
the opera people is that they do n6t
hold Vaudeville appearances against
the stars. One case in point is the
offer made Marguerita Sylva for vau
deville. Mme. Sylva is under con
tract to appear wfth the Chicago
Opera company for a number of per
formances.. .... Due to a recent in
crease in the Sylva family, the
prima donna1 was unable lO'fill the
Chicago performances, which were
"Cleopatra" and "Carmen," and it is
improbable she will appear in New
York. All eveats point to her as the
logical successor of Miss vFarrar at
the Metropolitan, and when the direc
torate was informed 'she was consid
ering the vaudeville appearances they
stated that they did not hold vaude
ville engagements against their
singers. '
Jack" Gardner, featured in the' com
edy drama, "Gift O' Gab." tells with
a flood of (smiles df his first experi
ence as an' actor. Jack and three of
'his friends had a "barber shop" quar
tet and were imbued with the desire
to endow the world with their abil
ity. An advertisement in "The Clipr
per" gae them their opportunity. A
"one-horse" minstrel troupe desired
a quartet. x
Tack admits he passed the opera
nouse a dozen times Detore tney met
'the manager, dreaming pictures xof
how they were going tOibring down
the house. But to his dismay the
minstrel show "opined" in a remod
eled warehouse and the picture of
their debut was not inspiring. The
outfit lasted about three weeks, with
the sheriff on its trail. The afore
said official carried out his duties in
a "tank town" in Tennessee and Jack
went hack to Louisville ift a carload
of shelled corn, C. O. D.
The first bubble .of his dream was
pricked the first dayput, Jack 6ays,
when several urchins viewing the be

Abrams Holds.
For Raised
Prices for the
Movies
Hiram Abrams, president of Para
mount Pictures corporation, who, in
company with General Manager B. P.
Schulberg, is touring the country, and
who in -his visits to exhibitors has
gained many new"viewt of conditions
as they exist, has presented, in an an
nouncement, his view regarding the
admission price problem.
In this connection Mr. Abrams
said: "Photoplay followers must pay
more for their screen amusement if
they want motion picture producers
to continue making tne Dest motion
pictures that it is possible, to create,
and if they expect their favorite pho
toplay theaters to continue in business
and to provide suitable setting for
the t picture, including appropriate
music.
"We most realize that the entire
economic standard of the country has
changed and that the dollar no longer
represents 10 dimes, but four quar
ters. It is war time. The dime has
lost its buying power aoid besides the
cost of producing pictures has ad
vanced in a startling degree. A a
matter of fact from the beginning of
the industry, the cost of producing has
advanced steadily. A casual mental
comparison between the 'movies' of
several years ago and the photoplay
of today will make this readily appar
ent. "Aside from the apparent increase
of the salaries of the players, the elab
orate staging of a production which
the photoplay public has come to de
mand, has raised the cost from 500 to
1,000 per cent over the costs of a few
years ago. In spite of this, the motion
picture exhibitor has been backward
in raising his own prices to meet this
increased cost. This may be due, in
a measure, to the fact that in the early
stages of motion picture exhibiting
there was a great margin of profit; the
photoplay public of that day was con
tent with a standard - of production
that would not be tolerated by the
more discriminating patrons of the
ohotoolav today.
"A continuance of the prices In
vogue would mean that hundreds of
motion picture theaters would have to
close their doors, an event which can
only be regarded with the utmost
gravity in the present wartime condi
tions, where moderate-pwcea amuse
ments for the people are an absolute
necessity.
Monday William Russell In "Sands Ot Sac
rifice." Tuesday, Charles Ray In hla first
Paramount play, "The Son of His Father."

Widely different in theme, they were, never

In his first Paralta play, "A Man's Man."
Now personally, we have never cared much
for his style of acting with It grandstand

lime. However we were surprised and en
joyed the production as much aa any other
we have seen of lute, and you must consider
our prejudice hsd to be overcome. A new
Kerrigan has been born, he Is delightfully
cast in a semi-comedy rule, the scenes being
laid in this country and a South American
republic Of course there Is a love story
interwoven, and Kerrigan doesn't have much
opportunity for love-mnklng. but when he
doea a half-nelson at the Inst fade-out, we
were with him. It Is full of surprises, revo
lutlons, fights and -elever comedy situations.
Don't miss it. The other picture shown waa

ably with soma of the so-called mammoth

who have read the book.

she has studied the siren close-up. She has
analyzed the human heart more as psy

herself with the philosophy of fragile
darlings of all ages and has gone behind the
mirror for motives. She knows why men
leave home. She knows the ambitions of
woman, and, better still, how she may
gratify them. She has shown this in her

officers of the ocean dreadnaught,
"Connecticut," who conducted the
contest. It all came about in this
way: When the Connecticut had
been out almost a week, on the lat
est practice cruise of the fleet, it
was discovered that there was a
dearth of reading matter with which
to while away the long hours of
the night watch at sea. The single
copy of an illustrated monthly mag
azine that was unearthed by a young
middle, fresh from Annapolis, made
that youngster the most popular and
sought after person aboard ship.
When it had been perused and
thumbed by almost the entire ship's
crew, one of the officers came tor
ward with the germ of a big idea.
"Let's take the pictures of these
Broadway actresses here in the front
of the niagaatine," said he, "and we'll
grade 'em. We'll decide Ihe real
beauty of the bunch on points, eyes
shall count 10, nose 10, mouth 20
and so forth." Accordingly, the
monthly was passed ahout from one
middie to another, each setting down
his estimate of the stage beauties
therein pictured and then handing it
to one of the olTicers in a scaled
envelope. When all of the scores
were figured, which took almost a
week, it was found that Miss Grey
was winner with .a score of 98 out
of a possible 100. She first heard
of her victory when she received an
engrossed memorial, signed by all
the officers and men of the "Con
necticut," of the contest. The navy
men sent it to her at the Lyric
theater in New rork and the parch
ment is now one of t"he' most prized
possessions of Miss Grey.

Is he a woman, or is she a man?. The
