most unheard of for a comedy fea
ture. Bothwell Browne is a female
impersonator. Ben Turpin, Charles

war. Earle Williams as Nathaniel
Dunham in "The Fortune Hunter"
is a vouth who in the big city has
failed at every .occupation. He is
advised to go to the country and

lin in "Tillie's Punctureed Ro

in his absence he telephones for the
police. Tillie, however, is having
her troubles with her unruly hus
band and in the chase which fol
lows, the cops in their automobile
drop 50 feet into the Pacific ocean.
The pictures of Sir Ernest's ex
pedition were made by his own
camera men and thoroughly cover
the expedition from the time it left
Buenos Ayres until it returned to
Valparaiso two years liter. The
film has been commendtd by lead
ing educators in all parts of the
United States.
Rialto William S. Hart in "The
Toll Gate" comes back to the
screen after a considerable absence
in what he says is "the best picture
I have ever made.!' And with him
comes Anna Q. Nilsson. Hart is
Black Deeringya, slashing, hard-riding
bandit chief.! Betrayed by one
of .his men, Deering is captured by
United States troopers, but he man
ages to escape and wih the sher
iff's posse hot cfn his trail finally
reaches seclusion after many thrill
ing scenes. In a little clearing he
comes upon the cabin of Mary
serted wife of the man who gav
him no to the law. In the davs that
follow Deering is influenced by her
noble character. He gives himself
up to the sheriff. In a subsequent
encounter he kills his betrayer and
for his good conduct, on that and
previous occasions is allowed his
freedom provided he keeps south of
the Mexican border. Mary Brown
loves him and wishes to accompany
him, but Deering, mindful of his
dishonorable past, feels he is un
worthy, and departs alone. Mr.

Empress William Russell in

press for the first part of the week.
Russell is a happy-go-lucky and rich
young man who is made to go to
work by his fiancee. He buys a de
tective agency and in order to make
a good showing, invites a gang of
crooks to town. They come with a
rush and some of the situations
which follow are guaranteed to pro
duce laughter. Doris Kenyon in
"The Harvest Moon," long a stage
favorite, begins Thursday. George
A. Lessey is leading man. Wilfred
Lytell, another member of the cast,
is a brother of Bert. Others are
Earl Schenck, Marie Shotwell.
. Stuart Robson, Peter Lang, Daniel
Pennell and Grace Barton.
Muse "The Virgin of Stambour
will be shown at the Muse today
only. Tomorrow, Tuesday. Wed
nesday and Thursday, Mack Sen
nett's comedy, "Yankee Doodle in
Berlin," will be the program; Friday
The New York Times in review
ing "An Eastern Westerner," the
comedy which will be presented at
the Strand this week, said:
1 hose Harold Lloyd comedies a
word about them is due. v Spectators
at the principal Broadway houses
have seen His Koyal Slyness,
Haunted Spooks" and. last week,
"An Eastern Westerner." There has
been more laughter and better
laughter on Broadway because of
them than there would have been
otherwise. Because they are funny.
Every one must admit that, those
who are bored by the usual slap
stick as well as those to whom
horse-play is the soul of wit. Some
parts of them may be a little too full
of the rough-and-tumble stuff to
amuse one class of spectators, and
some parts may be too subtle to pro
voke the guffaws of another; but
take any one of them, and just as
soon as it becomes too dully violent
to be amusing for some, Mr. Lloyd
will do something as witty as
absurb. and they will laugh in bois
terous relief; and then, just as the
comedy is becoming so delicate that
others are beginning to wonaer wnat
it is all about. Mr. Lloyd will smash
something or almost break his neck
and they will roar in blatant satis
faction. So the house is kept
laughing all the time.
Mr. Lloyd, or whoever writes his
scenarios, finds clever, unexpected,
original things for him to do stunts
irresistibly risible. And Mr. Lloyd
is a bright pantomimist. He has
tricks of gesture and facial expres
sion that put him out of the class of
crude buffoons.
So, thanks for the Harold Lloyd
comedies. They make plople laugh
whole-heartedly, healthyt-and most
people enjoy laughing that way
when they have a chance.

The Virgin of Stamboul," pro

ter feature, was written especially

The story has been faithfully fol
lowed and has produced the theme
in lifelike scenes.
In the role of Sari, the beggar girl
of Stamboul, Priscilla Dean is. said
to have achieved her greatest tri
umph. The part permits her to ex
ercise all those individual manner
isms that have made here a favorite
of the screen. The producers have
'urrounded her with every acces;
sory to make "The Virgin of Stam
boul' a triumph in realistic photo
drama. '

tensive new wardrobe to take with
her when she visits Paris in August
with the Keilau organization.

Helene Chad wick says that a

Will Rogers in "The Cowbov Phi

trom a bootlccirer in Kansas was
that the bootlegger was sober."

recting for the past five years in a
series of photoplays for such stars

Burke and Douglas Fairbanks.

Prohibition, the bolsheviki and the

Americans' today, according to John
Emerson and Anita Loos, photoplay
authors and editors who recently
received th'is report from their read
ers on nearly a ton of scenarios.
These scripts sent in by amateur
movie play writers throughout the
country during the last few weeks,
base their plots for the most part on
these three themes.
Mr. Emerson and Miss Loos be

thought, more efficient than straw
votes or referendums. Since a large
portion of the 300,000 persons who
attend the movies daily bombard
scenario offices with stories based on
the problems which worry the most,
