THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: "JUNE 8, 1919.
LAST BIG PLAY
OF SEASON
In the field of music and fun
Cohan & Harris have another get:-,
nine success in "Going Up," fresh
from. its run of two seasons inNew
York. It will be seen at the
Brandeis theater for four days' start
ing bn Sunday, June IS.
Fashioned from "The Aviator," by
Jamej Montgomery, with lyrics by
OttO Harbach, with melody and
song by Louis A. Hirsch, "Going
Up", provides an evening of enjoy
ment "largely due to its interpreta
tion by Bobby Watson, Mary LaneJ
Bettie barker, Lillian Kaymond,
Ethel Dale, Jay Dillon. James H.
Manning, Raymond Ellis, William
Wadsworth, Arthur Cunningham. P.
II. Leonard and a big chorus.
The story related in "Going Up"
is interesting and timely. It isall
about an alleged aviator, who,
though -he has never been in the
air, is forced to make a flight in a
real airplane to win the girl of
his heart. He makes the flight, but
not before the audience has under
gone paroxyms of laugtcr. while
watching the preliminary prepara
tions, which are attended by so
many farcical situations as to keep
them in a constant state of merri
ment, "Tkkle-Toe," "Kiss Me," "If You
Look jn Her Eyes," "Going Up,"
"When the Curtain Falls." "The
Touch of a Woman's Hand," and
"Do It for Me" are a. few of the
song hits.
Lyman H. Howe has made a
picturesquely beautiful trip along the
Ocklawalia in the Florida Ever
glades an important feature of his
latest "Travel Festival," which
comes to the Brandeis theater for
four days starting today.
Ocklawaha, the mysterious, has
long been the goal of tourists. Its
narrow winding course leads through
tropical jungles.
There are numerous other notable
features on the latest "Travel Festi
val" program including a novel ex
position in motion of the insignia
of the , United States army; the ex
citing "capture pf sea elephants,
swordfish and i sharks among the
islands of the South seas; daredevil
.exploits of human skylarks in
somersaulting warplanes over the
city of Washington; a hunting and
fishiig expedition into the Cana
dian wilds, including the riding of a
wild moose by an adventurous
guide;, a' demonstration of 20th
centur. efficiency wherein a single
caterpillar tractor moves a large
frame dwelling through the streets
of a city;--a picturesque tour of
Japan, revealing the sacred shrines
and queer even-day customs of the
flowery kingdom; up-to-the-minute
vjews of the geysers, waterfalls and
Strange , formations of Yellowstone
National park, and scenes of Italian
sky warriors in training in the
Alps. ''. V - y-:-
When people jisk me how to
learn to act, I always feel like say
ing that the hardest thing in acting
is not to act. It brings to mind
comments without number I've
heard about actors, such as:
"He doesn't, do a thing in the
part, but he certainly is good."
A remark like that usually means
that the actor referred to is a mas
ter of technique, so much as that he
forgets about it, and just goes ahead
and is himself. V
The " best photoplays today are
those written for the star. This is
to help the actor-of actress in being
natural. The principal character is
drawn as nearly like that of the one
who is to portray it as possible.
Then all the star has to do is to
be herself throughout the picture,
act as she would in everyday life
under similar circumstances.
Take the pictures which have
been selected for me recently, "Blue
Jeans," "Flower of the Dusk," and
"The Gold Cure."
The heroine is in all of mem a
girl who is almost grown up mind
you, not quite grown up and who
is a little tomboyish and is, simple
and unaffected and has a sense of
what's funny. She grows up in the
picture, when she has her romance.
All of these stories appealed to
me. I enjoyed playing in them, and
I think the reason they were well
received was because I did on the
screen just, what would . have oc
curred to' me naturally. "
So my advice on how to act is
don't.
In some future articles which I
: am now writing I shall take up this
interesting" subject more fully and
discuss the technical side of the ac-.
tor's or actress' art.

Tears, Real, Salty Tears
Cinema directors encounter some
strange difficulties and perplexities
in the course of their busy days qf

psychology of tears," said Allen Hol

actors to cry is the hardest task in

age, to weep and, was equally im

"I'm a humanitarian. I couldn't
pinch them; I couldn't spank them.
Even if my inclination had been in
that direction I couldn't have pinch
ed or spanked the whole lot at the
same time nor would their fond
mothers have acquiesced, r I tried
numerous devices; none succeded.
If half a dozen wept, a dozen and
a half howled with laughter. Fin
ally, in desperation, I held up a
shiny half-dollar. 'Whichever child
cries the hardest,' I told them, 'gets
this money.' Not a tear was shed!
There was one youngster that
wanted the coin. She said she could

Then, at last, came tears, real tears,

loud, so continuously that the other
children became frightened and they

UT THE EMPRESS
A Plea For the Director
By MARY MacLAREN
Credit!
The star gets it all but the di
rector none. And the director
makes the pictures. .
At least that's what HE says.
But really, you know, the director
gets too much credit altogether.
Why he couldn't even make pictures
if he didn't haVe a star.
Anyway, that's what SHE says.
My own opinion and it is the
opinion of others of the cinema pro
fession, too is that the director is
something like the office boy he
does a lot of good, but nobody ever
gives him any credit for it! And
he's a thousand times more valuable,
of course, than the office boy.
There are many directors whose
genius lifts plays which the star
alone could not carry. My view is
that there must be perfect co-operation
between star and director, and
if this is not possible why the di
rector should have his way!
Directors like Lois Weber, who
really gave me my big chance in
pictures; D. W. Griffith, who
brought out Blanche Sweet and
Mary Pickford in the old Biograph
days; Rupert Julian, who has given
us Monroe Salisbury and Ruth Clif
ford at their best, and himself in
starring 1 vehicles of superlative
worth, deserve all the laurels their
talents have won.

George Beban in Person
- George Beban's first personal pro
duction, "Hearts of Men," which is
presented during Mr. Beban's per
sonal appearance at the. Rialto, the
last of the this week, was financed,
directed and virtually written by the
star himself. All these things, of
course, in addition to playing the
leading role himself. Mr. Beban
tells many amusing incidents of
persons who wanted to back him in
Ihis venture, but he preferred to
take the risk himself, as that way
he could make the picttire just as
he wanted to, take as long as he
desired to make it, with the result
that "Hearts of Men" is one of the
most finished photoplay productions
of the entire season.
He is of Scotch-Irish descent and
was born in San Francisco not so
many years ago, and has had a
varied career on the stage, being
both in legitimate and vaudeville,
in addition to making about 17
photoplays in which he played the
leading role. Mr. Bebar, is a firm
believer in the future of the motion I
picture, and for this very reason is
making a personal tour of the
larger cities of America, at his own
quence that surprised even himself an
eloquence that swayed that crowd of
rough tnen as nothing else ever did.
For a moment he forgot his aversion
to belief In Ood, and thought only about
the new power he had gained and of the
girl he had grown to love. Through her
tender Influence he became a changed
man. He determined the proposed theft
should not take place and he carried
this determination to the point of defying
his own gang when they tried to go
through with It. Then he confessed to
the girl.
It is a wonderfully inspiring story and
it has been filmed In "When a flirt

beautiful Mildred Harris Mrs. Charlie
Chaplin will appear at the Brandeis

Up," a musical comedy, book and lyrics by Otto Harbach and "
James Mongomery, the music by Louis A. Hirsch, which is shortly
to be presented in this city. .
"Going Up" is now on tour after a phenomenal run in New 1

The distinguishing features of "Going Up" are a well told and
coherent story, catchy music, wholesome fun and the general ex

the success that has attended its presentation elsewhere, "Going
