Detroit "VFree Press. - FARRAR'S DOUBLE w 1IILE Geraldine Farrar, ar rayed in her brilliant cos tume as the half-Spanish Pancha O'Brien, was going through a scene in "The Hell Cat," a girl rode-up, and her resemblance to the singer was startling. In stature, coloring and arrangement of her hair she was a replica of the celebrity. There the resemblance stopped. The girl's speech was confused and the light in her eyes was unsteady. She held out her hand limply, saying that she wanted to take Geraldine Farrar's place in "The Hell Cat" when the diva became fatigued. For a moment neither the star nor Regi nald Barker understood. Then one of the cowboys' called them aside. "She is Clara Snell," he said, "and she's not right in her head hasn't been for years. She's harmless." Quick to take advantage of the situation, Miss Farrar arranged for the girl to go through a scene in the play while Percy Ililburn, the cinc matographer, pretended to crank the camera. Then Clara Snell rode away, happy. . .When Cecil de Mille made his first picture. "The Squaw. Man," some years ago, it was. with almost no properties; the studio was a ren ovated barn and there were only hazy ideas as to lighting effects and other secrets of the motion pictures. Today he has reproduced the p. ay with all the finest equipment that money can buy and with thejivealtli of knowledge that years of directing have brought to him. In speaking of his new picture, he says: "Why did I wish to again produce ' 'The Squaw Man'? Well, there are several reasons, sentimental and professional. "It was my first picture. In the in terim I have produced a good" many films of different character, and I feel that each has- in some measure surpassed its predecessors. And I also believed that I could, by reason of the fact that I have already pro duced 'The Squaw Man,' accomplish something really worth while in the reproduction of the drama. With what I have gained in knowledge, practice, experience, with the great er facilities in lighting, investiture, t etc. the technical advancement, in a word and with the truly superla tive company I have assembled. I am certain that the new version of 'The Squaw Man will be infinitely better than, the old." Managers Ledoux and LeMar quard of the Empress theater an nounce the completion of their new $30,000 Wurlitzer-Hope-Jones organ and with Miss Jane Davis, an or ganist and demonstrator of wide ex perience at the keys, will be better . than ever ready to entertain their patrons. The organ contains all the tones usually found in the ' church organ, combined with such orchestral instruments as clarinets, flutes, ' piccolos, 1 violjns. cornets, trombones, saxaphones, etc. There are three sets of "human voice" pipes located in the different parts of the building. lhese produce wonderful effects, both in solo and chorus. Two? large harps, costing $1,000 each, are built in the instru ment. Sessue Hayakawa, who is feat ured in a new picture at the Muse today in which the svvord of the Samurai is-involved, uses a sword. in the production which ,has been in the Hayakawa family for 400 years. 'Time was not so long ago either" remarked the actor a few days ago, "when a man's honor con sisted m his preservation of certain' traditions that in some instances were not wortny ot preservation. Among these was a too ready use of the sword to avenge insults,, sometimes imaginary ones. Now we take our troubles to tlie courts, just like Americans. Ihe sword of the Samurai is a noble tradition, but we don't use it with old time indiscriminacy. It hangs on the wall in the place of honor anfong the portraits of our an cestors who were good old fighters of a different regime." 11 I 733 Omaha National Bank Bldg.
