Tom Moore has chosen "Duds," the
exciting serial story recently fin

on to the silver screen, and Madge

of "Burglar by Proxy," Jack Pickford's
latest picture which will be shown at the
strand Sunday, and the first three days
of the wefk. Thirteen policemen attempt
to capture Jack and his notorious friend
"Spider" without success and the "law
breakers" never leave the room in which
the police are assenfbled. Neither do
they hide In a trunk, under a table, or In
any other secret place. Both excitement
and romance abound In this photoplay
and it la sure to attract large audiences.,

have, treat yourself to a sight of "Six
Feet Four." This big dramatic super
structure, just released after six mouths
of production work, will be shown at the
Sun, Sunday and the next three days of
the week. William Russell, the hardest
rider, the quickest shooter, the manliest
love maker, the truest friend of them
all, enacts the part of Buck Thornton,
nick-named "Six Feet Four," because of
the excess Inches which make him stoop
to enter all doors save those In his own
house. There Is - an absorbing plot, lr.
which mystery, comedy and romance are
blended, with plenty of action every min

of the new Madeline - Traverse picture

day engagement starting today. The

"The Blue Bonnet," Billie Rhodes new

for the last three days. The Salvation

ONORS came thick and fast
to Billie Rhodes, the piquant
picture star, durine Fleet
Week in Los Angeles. Besides the
pleasure she derived from having
her first Hodkinson release, "The
Blue Bonnet," selected as the fea
ture attraction at the spacious Ki
nema theater for the big celebration
period, Miss Rhodes was prevailed
upon by her horde of admirers
among Admiral Rodman's sailors to
accept the invitation of a govern
ment aviator to accompany him on
a trip among the clouds as a spe
cial Fleet Week attraction.
Arriving at a hangar for her first
flying trip, the star of "The Blue
Bonnet" was greeted by a large
crowd, and showed no sign of
nervousness when David E. Thomp
son, the pilot, tucked her into the
machine.
The airplane soared all over the
city, and thrilled the throngs even
more than it did Miss Rhodes, who,
on leaving the machine, appeared to
be somewhat disappointed because
she had not been a party to a loop-the-loop
or a tail spin. "Oh, it was
wonderful!" - exclaimed the star.
"But I had hoped my presence in
the machine would not prevent Mr.
Thompson from doing some stunts.
He was horribly careful."

DIRECT and businesslike, typi
cal of the western girl of the
. great outdoors, Miss Catherine
Curtis, the only woman producer of
moving pictures in America today,
is a charming personality whose
executive ability promises to carry
her far on her chosen path. For
Miss Curtis, be it known, while hav
ing made a hit in the leading rble
of Harold Bell Wright's "Shepherd
of the Hills" is averse to being called
a star.
.As frank in baring her ambitions
as she is novel in her ideas,' Miss
Curtis, at present engaged in the
picturization of a story of the real
west, which is being filmed in the
wilds of north Idaho, frankly admits
that she is not a star, doesn't know
if she will ever be one, and is not
particularly aoncerned.
"I have appeared in 'The Shep
herd of the Hills' and I will ap
pear, in the picture which we arc
now staging, but I don't know that
I will ever appear in another," says.
Miss Curtis. "I am less concerned
over my future on the screen than
I am over my future business
career, for it appears to me that
there is a greater field in production
than in starring.
"Most assuredly the plaudits oi
the public are pleasing, and I would
not be a woman if I were to deny
that it has an appeal for me, but I
have resolutely set my face to the
making of pictures that are 'differ
ent and if I can achieve success in
this field I will not worry over
stardom."
What you will see it) The Omaht
Daily Bee Screen Magazine No. 35

tive. It opens up introducing some

seen distinguished service in the A.

Comment has been made by re
viewers and others who have seen
pre-release presentations of Flor
ence Reed's latest United picture,
"Her Game," on the marked excel
lence of the double exposure work
which is a notable feature of the
technical side of this production, and
these commentators ha,ve remarked
uoon the magnificent effect-; ob-
tained throughout by the camera
expert. Every owner of a pocket -kodak
knows the difficulty of, pho
tographing interiors, evrn with time
exposure. Everybody in the motion
picture business knows that to se
cure lights enough to make possi
ble the filming of action in a large
church interior would cost thou
sands of dollars and days of labor
to install. In "Her Game" the caKi-
eraman by use of his own special
devices is said to have produced ef-"
fects representative of action in his
photography at the rate of 16 pic- .
tures to the second in these interior
scenes.
Louise Glaum is to wear. 22 dif
fe'rent new exclusive gowns in hei
iatest picture, which is to be started
at the Thomas H. Ince studios with
in the week. The picture is from
an original story, by C. Gardner
Sullivan, who allowed his highly im
aginative brain to run riot, and ome
of the most unusual situations ever
woven in . a story are said to be in
this new ' Glaum production. J.
Parker Read, jr., is assembling a
splendid cast to support his talented
star, and it is thought that this story .
will eclipse all of Miss Glaum's for-,
mer successes.
Putting new wines into old skins,"
or reversing the process applying
the figure of speech to the movies
is a thing of the past. The fed-"
eral trade commission, thanks to
Bill Hart, the star, who carried the
matter up for a ruling, has decreed'
that old films shall not be re-exhibited
as new under a changed title;
that old parts of any film shall be
"plainly, distinctly, definitely and
unmistakably shown" as such and
as previously having been put on
exhibition.
"Investigations by my attorneys."
said Hart, "showed that one firm"
of swindlers made more than $2,000,-

my name; and while they were do

Theodore Kosloff is to portray the
first man in "The Tree of Knowl
edge" to be started this week at the
Lasky studio, under the direction of
William De - Mille. Mr. Kosloff
wardrobe is not worrying him.
The serial to be made in .30 reel
by the Frohman company, witl
Kuth Clifford as the star, will b
distinctly different from any film
serial heretofore made. It will not
be a thriller, but will be made on
the lines of the continued stories 'of
the magazines, with suspense link
ing its episodes from week to week.
