Some of his other recent showings have bee equally tame, so that he might have been accused of stalling by any box intr commission and disqualified. ,But in "On With the Dance" the veteran pugilist returns to his field in an honest-to-goodness' barroom scrap that tore up settings, reputa- tions and human flesh before it was ended.

AJAWIWNT;ARTCRArl.PICTURE: Spectacular Effects, Cabaret Scenes Amid Gorgeous Settings Feature The Film, "On With the Dance" GORGEOUS settings, . said to 6urpass in magnificence any thing of the sort hitherto at tempted on the screen, feature the George Fitzmaurice production, "On With the Dance," the attraction at the Strand this week. . For the cabaret scenes which form an important - part of the plot neither expense nor effort . were spared in making the. action thoroughly realistic. The plot cen ters around the chief charactor, Sonia (Mae Murray), who in, dire financial straights capitalizes her dancing ability by appearing masked in a well known cabaret. To, develop this part of the plot, Director Fitzmaurice reproduced the famous Montmarte . caie specially for this production. Painstakingly every line of the famous restaurant was reproduced at the studio from photographs of the original. Unusual shots of the entire view were taken by the cameraman from high plat forms erected in the middle and at the sides of the studio. Into this photographic duplicate of the- Manhattan pleasure resort, the motion picture fan is introduced to an absorbing slice of New York night life. As the jazz music starts several hundred couples begin to tinues with only intermittent stops until daylight. 1 The most beautiful effect is of fered in the Peacock room, one4 of the scenes of which plays a prom inent part in the settings of this production. The room derives its name from the appointments, all of which feature the gorgeousness of that bird. The spectacular effect is heighten ed by the costumes worn by f Mae Murray, who plays the leading role. Originality is hooked up in every eyelet, as 'twere, although there are not many hooks in her cabaret at tire. The hundred dancing figures who lend themselves to the action in this night scene at the Montmarte pro vide the final touch for what has been pronounced to be the most impressive spectacle of New York night life ever shown on the screen. American Audiences Tolerate Only Screen Productions of High Order By RICHARD A. ROWLAND. President of Metro Pictures Corporation. Whether or not the current com ment is true that the American public no longer will eat any but the very best cuts of meat or wear stockings woven from any material but silk, it is certain that none but the first quality of motion pic ture entertainment is now counten anced. Not only the cheap picture, but also the mediocre picture, has gone the way of the cotton sock, the shoddy overcoat and the paper col lar.

PLEASANT HOLYOKE 534 S'outh 40th Street Harney 5654 sureness of the moderately stocked cellar. Paradoxical as it may sound, the screen of the future and it is not a distant future, but one that will come tomorrow must present to audiences pictures that are consist ently exceptional. Every produc tion must be one of outstanding merit; the average must be superla tive. No use to hark back to the pio neer days when one-reelers were slapped together on the roof of a vacant house in New York, on a stage which revolved with the sun. Let us look back for a brief instant at the development of the motion picture within the last two or three years. Scenario-writers were paid high salaries, money was lavished on production, companies were fairly straining in their efforts to outbid one another for stars. It would seem that the height of ex penditure had been reached. But there was a flaw in this sys tein which a few progressive com panies saw; and that was the stereo typed story upon which the photo plays were founded. Picture audi ences knew by heart all the conven tional twists of plot, all the thread bare situations. Given a glimpse the first reel, any member of the audience could have worked out the story from memory of many similar ones witnessed before. The solution, was the purchasing for adaption to the screen of plays and novels and stories of shorter length that had proven popular. Dramas and comedies that had with stood the test of Broadway; novels that publishers had deemed worthy of investment; stories that had by their sheer merit passed the exact ing judgment of cold-eyed magazine editors these the foresighted mak er of pictures chose as the backbone of his business. The mere purchase of the best available photodramatic material ' is not the entire story of "fewer and better" pictures. It is only the first chapter; and that, as every reader knows, may often prove full of promise and interest, and then fall down lamentably in later and care lessly done parts of the book. The basic principle which is the understructure of this policy is that hurry and artistic work are incom patible. One cannot rush a picture through, improvising on the spur of the moment, substituting here and there without thorough planning, dcing the next best thine, and exr r.ect the finished product to be genu inely meritorious. Robert Louis Stevenson once said, in speaking of the art of writing, that if one cannot spend an entire afternoon in turn ing a phrase so that finally it will express his thought, that man should not go in for literature. In our art we feel likewise. The object is to produce pictures that will express with all the dramatic force and skill possible, the story we . have selected for t he . Metro screen. When changes in produc tion are necessary, they must not be hasty makeshifts, but the result of fully matured thought. And since such alterations from an original plan, no matter from what cause they have arisen, take time, it is not possible to grind out a picture weekly. y Kills 52-Pound Raccoon. Cottonwood Falls, Kan., March 27. What is believed to be the largest raccoon in the state was killed near here a few nights ago by W. W. Buckbee, a farmer. The animal weighed 52 pounds and its hide measured 26 to 42 inches at the widest and longest points. Constance Talmadge Tells How She Broke Into Movies How did I get into the movies? Well, although I hate ta admit it, I really did nothing more or less than follow Norma in, and that's the truth but it is also the truth that I stopped following her as soon as I was in and had a chance to look about a bit for myself. When I was 14 years old Norma had a job with Vitagraph, and I used to go to 'the studio with her and hang around until the directors were so used to seeing me that they really thought I belonged there. Then one day I just walked right in front of the camera andjno one thought to put me out. .End once really in I wouldn't go, so here I ami When Norma went to the coast I went, too, for mother didn't like to let her go alone, or to leave Natalie and. me in New Vnrt- Tt was like the old puzzle of the man crossing me pond and taking over one at a time, the fox. the goose and the bag of grain.

Norma can tell you that every night I came home from practicing to drive that chariot I was bruised from head to toe. After this, success I began, to dream of something besides being just Norma's little sister. I wanted a regular job with a name all for myself. Then I met Lewis J. Selz nick and he decided to try and make a star of ine though he didn't promise that he really could do it for usually when two sisters play on the stage or the screen there is just one who become known. For the other there is plain obscurity behind the title of "so-and-so's little sister."

Slowly, laboriously and with a seeming show of puzzled hesitation, "Wejee" spelled out the answer to the question, "How can a man at present prices keep himself clothed on an average salary?" Five men. gathered in a corner of the lounging room of an Omaha club, watched intently and in si lence, while a sixth, with closed eyes and apparently deep in mental concentration, moved the indicator uncertainly over the lettered board. "A-D-A-M," they finally grasped as the message "Wejee" offered. "Wejee" Must Be Mad. "That's , no answer," commented one of the group. "Probably meant 'dam.' Guess 'Weeje's sore and cus sin' us for askin' a question like that." The "medium" tried again. This time he got "L-E-A-V-E-S." "I get it now," the "medium" vol unteered.

MORE than usual interest has been evidenced in "On With the Dance," the coming George Fitzmaurice production be cause of the rumor that the inci dents and leading character in the picture are based on real happen ings and a real person well known to New York society. George Fitzmaurice, who directed the picture, and Ouida Bergere, in private life Mrs. George Fitz-. maunce, who wrote the scenario, have declined to discuss the matter. Briefly the facts of the caseare as follows: The plot ofN"On With the Dance" deals with the fortunes of a Russian woman, who, estranged from her husband, takes to dancing in a cabaret, masked. A shooting follows and later a trial in which the wife" gives startling testimony. To prominent New Yorkers the story of "On With the Dance" will have a familiar ring. It is said that the character of Sonia, the Russian, played by Mae Murray, is a thinly veiled picture of a French countess whefse escapades while' the wife of a well-known New York clubman, kept New York society agog for a long time. Tho name of the Fre-iich countess has been mentioned sever al times in tohnection with "On With the Dance," but, naturally, Mr. Fitzmaurice has disguised his characters sufficiently, if he is writ ing, from real life, to escape libel charges.
