What Took Place When
French Tried Hands at
Observing Uncle Sam1 s
Own Fourth oj July
iOTHING has to attested
M. I the gratitude of France
I -to America as the im
I pressive celebration of
our Independence day
Jast Fourth of July, in
Paris. Impressive (- mo-
tion pictures, snowing
all phases of the celebration in the
French capital, are io be exhibited at
the Orphcum as an added attr action
to the vaudeville bill for the week
starting Sunday August 25. The
marching of French and American
trcopi in the great pageant will" be
vividly shadowed forth on the screen.
Spectators will be given opportunity
to behold the dauntless spirit of the
French after having passed through
four years of the country's most tragic
era of history. These films are au
thentic, and arc not a photoplay.
They are the exclusive property of
the Red Cross and all revenues de
rived therefrom go to the Red Cross.
No beholder can see them without
feeling the thrill of patriotic pride.
Had he not broken an ear drum
while diving in the swimming tank of
a naval academy, Sessue Hayakawa,
the famous Japanese motion picture
star,might now be an officer in the
navy of his native land. But in in
capacitating him for national serv
' ice for Japan this accident has made
Sessue known internationally as the
foremost actor of Oriental parts on
the screen today.
He is a man of varied accomplish
ments, be;ns an expert linguist, an
artist of ability, an expert fencer and
very proficient in jiu-jitsu. He likes
athletics and is often seen swimming,
riding or playing tennis. In person
he is tall for a Japanese, standing five
feet seven and a . halt inches and
weighing 157 pounds.'
His picture "The White Man's
Law." which appears at the Sun this
week, is one of his best pieces of work
in which he has appeared, being a
tale of Sierra Leone and the ivory
traders with an interesting love plot
interwoven in it.
Who that hasn't seen "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," sorrowed for the sufferings of
that faithful black slave, rejoiced in
Little Eva, laughed over Topsy, who
"just growed" and thrilled for Eliza
and her child when they leaped from
one slippery cake of ice to another
' while crossing the Ohio with the deep
bay of ferocious bloodhounds ringing
in her ears?

chance of a lifetime has come thW
week at the Strand with dainty
Marguerite Clark in the part of Little
Eva, and doubling in the part of
Topsy. Because you know yon
couldn't really have an "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" without a double part some
where. One of the reasons the play
was such a success in the decades
past was that if you lost a player the'
show could go on someone else
simply doubled the part, And in the"
good old days the applicant for a part
with a company had one test to pass
before he got by the first person he
inquired of. ,
V'Vou say you're an actor? Let's
hear you bark." , .' .
For every actor who was really a
traveling trouper had to help "bark
the bloodhounds" in the great scenes.
