Empress The Empress anounces as Its
feature photoplay attraction for the first
four days of the week "Tin Pan Alley,'
featuring Albert Ray with Elinor Fair.
The story on which the picture Is founded
Is by William C. Longel and tells of the
struggle of a youth to make a success mu
sically, of how he finds the true source
of inspiration in a place most unexpected
to him. "The Challenge Accepted,"
starring Zena Keefe, will be the photoplay
attraction Thursday and for the remain
der of the week. It is a rapid fire story
of the effect of the selective service draft
on the natives of the Blue Ridge moun
tains. Miss Keefe plays the role of the
patriotic belle of the village who helps
in the reformation of a certain young
man. '
Bun Nothing Is aa pitifully maddening:
nothing brings home the horror of it all
to those who must remain behind while
their men folk go forth to fight as the
tramp,' tramp, tramp of thousands of feet
as they march silently by. The full
psychological effect of this truism Is con
veyed in Geraldine Farrar's new Goldwyn
production, "The World and Its Women,"
which will b shown at the Sun theater
today and until Wednesday evening In
clusive. The screen flashes view upon
view of feet, feet, feet, going by like
animated scissors. The monotony of the
motion, the realization that each pair of
reei means a man, some neaa or a nouse
hold or a beloved son, reach their full ef.

Another Star Reaches Million Sarary Mark
WILLIAM DUNCAN by sign
ing s Universal contract, be-
comes the hfghest paid serial
star, and begins work immediately
upon a super-serial on which it is
claimed over ?I,0W,W0 Will be ex
pended. '
' Immediately after ' signing his
contract Mr. Duncan said. "I am
convinced that the day of big seri
als is here at last; and that from
now on every first-class theater
will run these continued subjects in
the same fashion as every first-class
magazine runs serial stories."
Part of William" Duncan's success
in serials may be traced to his
early days when he appeared on the
stage as a partner to the famous
Sandow, the professional "strong
man." In addition to his seial
work he has .appeared in stage pro
ductions and in motion picture fea
tures. He always insists on being
his own director.
He recently completed "Smash
ing Barriers," now being seen week-t
ly in thousands of theaters through
out the United States and Canada.
J. Warren Kerrigan's popularity
has the enviable quality of mani
festing itself now and then in a
material form. Not long ago he was
presented with a valuable garnt
bracelet by Ram Kerkhah, prince
of the province of Asam, in north
ern India. Now he has received
notice through a legal firm in Sac
ramento, that he is sole owner of
a Newhall orange ranch and 60 acres
of alfalfa land near San Jose, Cat.
The property was willed by Mrs.
Mary Polk C&vanaugh, a wealthy
young widow who died recently in
the east. She had never met the star
in person, knowing him only through
his work on the screen. The pro
vision in the will which makes
Kerrigan beneficiary of the ranch
holdings reads: "To my dear irfcmd
and entertainer, J. Wartn KerKiartx.
whom I have never seen In caaifif,
but who has been, notwithstanding,
my constant companion, I give all
my properties in Newhall and San
Jose, Cal."
Kirrigan intends to donate the
income of the ranches to theActors'
Fund of America.
Work on Champion Jack. Demp

will begin this week on the Brunton
lot. The story is a livelywestern,

writers of Frederic Chapin and
Harry O. Hoyt, authors of "Down
West" and "Tornado Jim." The con
tinuity is by Jack Cunningham and
W. S. Van Dyke, formerjy director"
for Al Jennings, will handle the
megaphone. Several of the episodes
will be taken in the timber country
around Flagstaff, Ariz., and at least
one location trip will be made to
Wyoming.
Six of the screen's foremost, hardi
est, craftiest heavies have been en
gaged for the picture and others
will probably be secured. Ordinar
ily, one heavy is sufficient for a se
rial, but Jack is-expected to com
pletely wear out a villain or two in
the making of each episode. Those
who have already been engaged are:
Herschal Mayall, Frederic Starr,
Frank Lanning, Edward II earn, Al
Kauffman and Albert Cody.
Lillian. Gish, famous as the hero
ine in most of D. W. Griffith's photo
plays, has become the director oi
her sister, Dorothy Gish.
