FUN IN UNIFORM
CHAPLIN SHOWS IT
COMEDY situations and humor
ous incidents in "Shoulder
Arms," the second million-dol-'ar
Chaplin production, to be shown
it the Rialto theater all this week,
were the moat difficult to develop
ind produce of any that the famous
screen comedian has ever attempted
in any of his pictures. According
to his own explanation, he felt that
he was literallv "treading on thin
ice all the time." In a statement to
the First National Exhibitors' cir-C-iit,
distributors of his productions,
he said:
' Military lite abounds with possi
bilities for humor. But to picturize
r.nv cf them without actually ridi
culing traditions, method and pur
pose proved more than a task. I
did not want to get effects which
would reflect in the slightest degree
upon the service, and still it was
i ecessarv to create action that would
involve the ordinary daily events of
a doughboy's life, and make them
appear really laughable.
"To do this I decided that one
central character a typical 'boob'
recruit could provide the situations
by his own stupidity and difficulty in
mastering the principles of soldier
ing, and properly draw into the
mix-ups representatives of every
rank and branch of the service. This
idea, carried out in 'Shoulder Arms
brought the proper result, providing
4'score of novel situations with
out detracting in the least from the
. dignity of soldiering."
Sessue Hayakawa, who is consid
erable of a linguist, is teaching
French to several of the members
of his company. The class he is
conducting, which developed into
quite a size, started while he was
producing "The Terpple of Dusk"
tor the Haworth Pictures corpora
tion. His first pupils were Jane No
vak, Sylvia Bremer and Lewis Wil
loughby. Hayakawa is the paster of six
languages. In the 1 University of
Tokio he studied Russian and Eng
lish, and when he came to this coun
try to attend the Chicago univer
sity he took up French, Spanish
and Italian, to prepare himself for
the diplomatic service of his country.
Although he was lured from his
early ambitions by the stage he still
retains a keen interest in the study
of languages.
He is taking as much delight in
the teaching of French as his pupjls
are in learning it. Some of them are
attempting to carry on their conver
sations in French when they are at
work about the studio. Miss Novak,
who is in correspondence with sev
eral French soldiers, is already en
deavoring to write her letters in
French. ,
Hayakawa has just organized his
own company, Haworth Pictures
corpration, which releases through
Mutual Hayakawa's latest play, in
whichhe will be shown at the Muse
this week in "The Temple of Dusk,"
an unusual and a strong story, writ
ten by Frances Marion.
A riot of splendor that outrivals
the time of the real Cleopatra is the
feature of the William Fox Theda
Bara superpicture, "Cleopatra," in
which Theda Bara, screen star, plays
the role of the -Siren of the Nile. '
In addition to the decorative crea
tions embracing the various periods
in which, Cleopatra reigned, there
have been used more than 10,000
people to add color and life to the
photodrama. These periods em
brace the Roman and Egyptian, giv
ing the director an opportunity to
picturize the various barbaric types
prevalent in those times.
In the interior tent scene more
than $50,000 worth of decorations
were used to give it the barbaric
appearance of splendor accredited
to the time of the great Siren of the
Nile. There were used alone, in
this wonderful set, two rugs valued
at $30,000. In addition, the various
tapestries, silks and .furniture
amounted to more than $26,000.
"The Woman the Germans Shot,"
a big special feature, based P the
death of Edith Cavell at the hands
of the Germans, is to be sent to
Omaha as one of its first releases
by the Select company. 1
