Dorothy Dalton, who comes to the
Strand this week in what sounds
like a vampire role, "The Home
breaker." declares that it is not that
sort of a play at all but a comedy
drama with just a little spicy role in
it to make it interesting and to lend
color to the action of the story to
make it real. She has given up the
vampire admitting frankly that she
had an ambition along with every
other motion star to be one once at
least.
Her reasons for the retirement of
the "vamp" idea she tells in her own
words, saying: '
"I have decided that the vampire
role is flat, stale and unprofitable
and am determined to forever es
chew all forms of screen wicked
ness. -
"I caught the vamp fever myself
and vamped my way through several
photoplays, but I soon found that
this sort of character was tiring to
the public as to myself. If you can
not gain the sympathy of the au
dience, you are not doing yourself
or the public justice. And who will
sympathize with a wicked woman
unless she reforms. And even then
she is always regarded with more or
less suspicion.,
So. I repeat, no more vampires.
There are plenty of good women in
the world; plenty of charming young
girls, who may have trying experi
eriences, but whose hearts at least
are net steeled to every fine emo
tion;, and whg sometimes think cf
other things than luring unfortu
nate men to picture doom.
La vamp est mort, vive la vampl
That ir my slogan henceforth! She
has served her purpose if she had
one that was worth while. She is
done, finished not only so far as I
am concerned, but, I really believe,
with the screen itself."

FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BEE' WANT ADS
TO friends and interviewers, Mr.(
Hart has often confided his de
termination to write' a strong, virile
story of the Western owpuricher, not
as the average novelist pictures that
individual, but true to life as Mr. Hart
has lived him. Well, "Bg Bill" cre
ated Lem Beeson, a real cowpuncher,
and afforded him a suitable environ
ment in his story, 'The Money Cor
ral." 7
-and he could shoot the
date out of a dime"
THEY overpowered the new watchman, battered in the huge
door and thought the coast was clear. But when they tried
to touch the money they found someone waiting for them some
one who could shoot the date out of a dime in mid-air. ,
The police came but "Big Bill" didn't need them finished the
job before'they got there. Come to see that fight!
IN order that no important point of
"The Money Corral" might be lost,
Mr. Hart himself directed the picture
with the assistance of Lambert Hillyer
and to say that they have made a good '
job of it, goes without saying. "Big
Bill" is as capable a director as he is
a player and scenarist.
