Jones Scenery
Makes Macbeth
ReallyTragic
By JAMES WH1TTAKER.
NEW YORK In the Apollo
theater Lionel Barrymore and
Julia Arthur, attended by de
lirious liobert Edmund Jones' scen
ery, whimpering incidental music by
Robert Russell Bennett, and trick
lights by Arthur Hopkins, have
brought forth a ."Macbeth." The
ghost of Shakespeare, uneasy and
forlorn, wanders in the empty
standee room at the back of the
house and soliloquizes:
"Out, damn spotlight I Out. I
say! One. tto, why. then 'tis time
to do it. The stage ii murky. Fie.
my Lord Harryniore. fie! An actor
and afcard to own ill What need
you fear who knows it. when none
can call your power to. account?
"Vet who would have thought old
man Jones to have so much art in
him? Hero's the smell of his scen
ery still; all the lights of Hopkins
will' not lighten this production. Oh,
on. on,
"Wash your hands on't, Barry
more; put off your makeup; you
look pale; I tell you, Shakespeare's
buried, but he can come out oil's
Grave." ,
$. .
Art has tyrannized over this re
vival of Shakespeare, whose drama
'is slave, to Robert Edmund Jones'
scenery. What mesmeric cultural
spell has Jones cast over such shrewd
minds as those of Julia Arthur and
Lionel Barrymore? They, too, obe
dient to the mandate of Jones' im
pressionism, crawl into his paint
tubes to be squeezed out into a
series of pretty pictures. The whole
cast is ready for hanging in an art
gallery.
The two famous actors are starred
in the programs and advertising.
That is misleading. Jones and Hop
kins are the misleading men of this
"Macbeth." In the future Mr. Bar-
rymore and Miss Arthur may use
that as an alibi. Truly, they have
little to do with or in the show.
Mr. Jones has confused siniple
ncss with simplicity. He is mean
with his means, not economical. For
all thaj you can enumerate the items
of his scenery on the fingers of
one hand; his stage is cluttered.
AM of the "Macbeth" interiors,
for instance, arc "suggested" by two
screens, lie has cut three Gothic
apertures in each screen. They
serve variously as doors, window,
pillared halls, gates and alcoves. The
actors must remember which they
are at any given moment of the
plav. No doubt they do. But the
audience does not. The illusion is
shattered, for instance, when Mr.
Barrymore walks into an inner
chamber of the castle through the
same aperture which has lately
given him a view of Dunsanc woods.
The fourth wall of the stage falls
with the other three standing so
fccbJy.
For Mr. Jones' convenience, "Mac
beth" has been squeezed into three
acts, consisting o,f a dozen tableau
scenes apiece. The curtain fal ' on
actors frozen into picture posture
immobility at the end of each scene.
As far as Jones is concerned, the
action and speech of each scene exist
for the sole purpose of bringing the
cat into oil paint in groupings.
This "Macbeth" will make a won
; dcrful collection of colored photo-
graphs. It will makea poor collec
t:on of photographic records. Speech,
the soul of Shakespeare, opulent,
glorious speech, is stifled, that its
awkward, living concomitant, ges
ture, mav not mar Jones' pictures.
And, with speech, all life is stifled
out of the drama. This is not life.
It is still life.
Julia Arthur is the one passionate,
beautiful rebel against the Jones
tyranny. Not all the color schemes
in the rainbow can confuse this
great stage lady's conception of the
simple, downright truth of language.
She speaks her reading of the role
of lady Macbeth out of a cleanly
inenerating brain, and to your heart
While the, play withers about her.
her Lady Macbeth grows healthy
to the beautiful flowering of one
of the theater's most thrilling mo
ments of tpoken poetry her inton
ing of the "Out. damned spot!"
speech of the last act.
Barrymore is less lucky. Classic
ism is not his bent. And when he
takes Shakespeare's "Therefore.
Cawdor shall sleep no more," and
makes it "Thawfaw Cawdaw shaw
slewp naw maw," 'why, you know
another Barrynww's gone wrong
this once.
As , a protest against operanting
Shakcspcares, outdoor Shakespeares.
I.arldy's Seminary Shakespeare, and
Shakespeare moulding on the top
shelf of your bookcase. Hopkins'
Shakespeare serves. But methinks
vr the gent doth protest too much.
Bakst drew those fantastic sketches
,' of Russian ballet costumes and set
tings from his fevered imagination,
and brought them over to the office
where Price Diaghilcff sat with his
' practical carpenters, costumers. and
his nractical knowledge of what
dancing legs can dance in.
Then Diagliileif tempered Bakst to
the dance, arid we had ballet that
was beautiful, novel, revolutionary,
but was still dance. Bakst took
long vacations while his ' master
pieces weje being trimmed to tit
the theater. Perhaps he died of a
broken heart after seeing Shehera
zade. Who knows? If Jones had
; been in the Adirondacks while Bar
rvmore and Arthur staged the new
"Macbeth," we might have had less
art for Art Hopkins' sake and more
play for Barrymore's sake.
That's Right, Charlie
Trust Will Rogers to hit the nail
on the head. Charlie Chaplin was
visiting the Goldwyn studio and the
two comedy kings were treating each
other to imitations each of the other.
When Rogers commenced to stand
with feet turned out, after the fam
ous Chaplin fashion, Charlie called
out: ,
"Hev there! That isn't the way I
stand!"
Quick as a wink Rogers came
back, but with a disarming grin:
Why, Charlie, you ain't made a
comedy in so long nobody knows
, how you stand." ,

The Manchineal Tree,
And Lives to Tell of It
It was not alone in their voyage
over to the, Bahama Islands that
Mr. David Wark Griffith and his
specially selected company ran into
strange and unaccustomed dangers.
They had gone from Fort Lauder
dale, Fla., to make the final scenes
in Mr. Griffith's latest picture, "The
Love Flower," a romance of the
South Seas, which will be the attrac
tion at the Brandcis theater start
ing tomorrow. Nearly wrecked on
the voyage across the gulf stream,
they yet reached Nassau in safety,
but the rank tropical jungle in the
midst of which Mr. Griffith had his
final location was to his actor-tcu-derfeet
full of uncounted perils.
There was one day when, the cam
era being set in the midst of'a grove
of cocoanut palms, George Wr. Bit
zer, Mr. Griffith's chief cameraman,
noticed a huge black excrcsence en
circling one of the palms. Whether
he thought it hurt the beauty of the
palm or what, doesn't matter, he got
a long stick of sugarcane and start
ed to prod the thing. The whole mass
of blackness fell to the ground and
smashed, and out of it emerged lit
erally millions of ants; long whits
ants, an inch long, who, furiously
angry, ran at every living thing in
sight.
Mr. Bitzcr was the first to feel
the bites and he fled. Mr. Griffith's
leather gaiters did not protect him
and he hurried out of the way. Miss
Carol Dempster, leading woman of
the picture, tried to climb a tree1,
and finally the whole company had
to take to the water's edge where
on a coral ledge with the sea lapping
against their ankles, they were safe,
Bllt there was another day When i
, , , n.,Li '. ...n..i !., 1
Richard Barthlemess walked along
the skirt of the jungle and sat him
self close to the sea in the shade of
a huge green, spreading tree.
Here two native fishermen, pass
ing the point in in a boat, saw him
came ashore and literally hauled him
into their boat. By the timp they
got him back Mr. Barthlemess was
a very sick man indeed.
"It was a narrow shave." said the
local doctor, "someone ought to have
warned you. You sat down under a
manchineal tree."
"What's that?" asked Barthlemess.
feebly.
"It's a tree that is found only in
the Bahama islands and in some
parts of the West Indies," the doctor
told him. "It is so far as I know the
most poisonous tree in existence. The
natives, and we who live in the Ba
hamas, dread it so much because we
know that it is not safe for anyone
to take refuge from sun or storm
beneath its branches. Why. when one
of these trees are found, the natives
make a circle of fire around, its
I trunk and burn it down, and even
then they will not touch its ashes.
Its leaves drop into the water some
times and if that happens and. you
should eat any of the landcrabs that
ir.fest these jungle pools it would be
almost certain death."
Fortunately Mr. Barthlemess had
not remained under the tree long
enough to absorb too much of the
poison and he got well quickly.

N.VA. Day at Orpheum
Will Get Due Attention
From the Management
The management of the Orphcunl
theater is beginning preparations on
an elaborate scale for the coming
yearly testimonial to the National
Vaudeville 'Artists, the date for
which has been set for April 8. This
is the second affair of its kind to,
be held following the one of last
yfar and it is expected that the re
ceipts will eclipse those of the for
mer testimonial. The entire pro
ceeds of this matinee will be devoted
to a general fund, which is- being
derived from the receipts of over
600 vaudeville theaters throughout
the United States and Canada- to be
used as a foundation for an in
surance and benevolent fund for the
members of the National Vaudeville
Artists.
The National Vaudeville Artists,
an organization with a membership
of over 12.000 variety actors and
including many of the highest paid
Stars on. 'he stage, is an institution
to which both its members and the
public may well porpt with prid.
Not only throughout the war, but
since, whenever the vaudeville actor
has been called upon to assist in
national and civic movements which
had as their objective the promotion
of the welfare of civilization, there
was an ever-ready response no mat
ter how great the sacrifice that de
volved upon the actor.
There arc few professionals bet
ter paid than the vaudeville artists.
Many of them have become affluent.
They are thrifty, enterprising and
prosperous, with a cleancut sense
of morality, and, by nature of their
calling, worthy adjuncts to tur so
cial fabric. But out of such a vast
number .there are naturally a few
go, through misfortune or through
lack pf business acumen, have failed
to provide adequately for the future.
It is for these unfortunate ,oiies
that the insurance fund of the vaude
ville managers is being established,
feeling "that any encouragement
they can offer the N. V. A. will
add to the power of the artists m
elevating vaudeville to its rightfully
dignified position beside the most
highly respected of our arts. They
have unanimously determined upon
the insurance fund idea, which is
to provide each N. V. A. member
with a $1,000 policy payable im
mediately to the family upon the
member's decease. The manager
feels that, with a thorough under
standing )f the great good that is !
being accomplished by the N. V. A..
vaudeville patrons will be inspired
to a special effort to attend the
matinee performance on April 8,
where a "full-value-received" show
will be staged. N

Motion Picture
Theater on Truck
To Tour Country
To forestall the invasion of Brit
ish industrial films, which have just
been completed and are said to be
I on their way here, a campaign has
! been started by a number of larc
industrial organizations for the pro
motion of American trade.
The motion picture has been se
lected as one of the most effective
mediums for this purpose, and it
is proposed to show American in
dustries to our own and other peo
ples. There films will be shown free in
all the cities, towns, villages and
hamlets throughout the world at
regular stated intervals, convincing
all buyers of the worthiness of
American products.
Vor this purpose, a scries of auto
mobile trucks are being constructed,
the first one of which has just been
completed. The truck contains a
300-anipere generator and makes its
own electric current with which to
preject motion pictures. It is
equipped with quarters for the cam
eraman to sleep in, and carries 24
portable twin-arc lights, all safely
and snugly tucked away.
It is planned to start the truck
immediately on its way across the
continent, visiting all manufactur
ing centers where films will be
made of various industries and
shown under the auspices of boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
as it travels along. During the
spring, and summer months, films
will be shown from the machine
in public parks and city squares. It
is planned once and for all, to make
a composite picture of every im
portant industry in America. A
subdivided film will be made of each
industry of from six to 10 reels in
length so that an entire evening's
performance can be given of any
of the approximately 2,000 indus
tries of which America now boasts.
Not more than 500 feet of film, or
half a reel, of any industry -w ill be
made. Any manufacturer who has
films on hand now is eligible to have
them exhibited from the truck. Man
ufacturers who have them arc asked
to send the film for review.

Mabel Normaud, hoydenish com-:
edienne, was in a reminiscent mood
the other day. She told how in
the early days of motion pictures
she, the Gish sisters, Mary Pickford
and Blanche Sweet, used to hold
contests to see which could bring
tears the quickest. The loser had
to pay for the 30-cent lunch with
which they regaled themselves. Miss
Normand said that Blanche Sweet
nearly always won, for she could
start the teardrops without a mo
ment's hesitation. All of them are
stars now and don't have to worry
about the price of (luncheons, but
all still find their tear glands nec

Office Boy Rises to '
. Fame Thru Ambition
' A sleek, bright-cyed, impulsive
sort gi a chap of a tender school age
challenged visitors for their wants
in a large industrial concern in Chi
cago 18 years ago.
The lad was not of the variety of
office boys that chew gtini in a
stenographer's car, attend ball games
on week days or furtively brush his
shoes with the general manager's
handkerchief.
He was known about the buihlin;;
as "Johnnie," just plain "Johnnie."
Ambition Knocks.
'It was "Johnnie get me that" and
"Johnnie won't ya run across the
street for me?" and Johnnie, will ya
do this" for everybody from the gen-"
eral manager of the firm to the jan
itor across the way, ,
If the uncomplaining lad could
have foreseen his future at least U)
years ahead, he would have heaved a
healthy chest and a right smart spar
kle in his eyes.
For be would have seen in his
vision the name of John M. Quinn
in huge, bold letters on the door of
the general manager's office in one
of the largest film concerns in the
world.
And, seeing himself in his imag
ination in New York city as head
of Vitagraph Film company, the lad
would probably have wished all his
associates hard luck and clambered
aboard a train easthotind for au
earlier start tin his road to fame.
But little Johnnie Quinn just
forged ahead, pleasing everybody.
Visits Omaha.
His visit to Omaha last week oc
casioned a reunion with his former
business associates at the Western
Newspaper Union.
Omaha remembers John Quinn as
an able salesman for that firm.
Ambition ffispired Johnnie Quinn
along the road of hard knocks that
took him from Chicago to Wichita,
Kan., Benver, Omaha, California;
thence to New York city.
For 13 years Mr. Quinn plugged
up business throughout the moddle

man bright and true. His spirit was
independence and initiative.

lie should mix a little judgment with
his good nature.

Tod Browning desires atmospheric
interior shots of a big department
store for his forthcoming production
of Edna Ferber's "Fanny Herself."
So lie got a big mail order catalog
and looked for the headings "cinema, '
"film," "kinematograph," "movie,"
"pictures," orfscrecn," but in vain.
Tod Browning bad to resort to per
.tonal courier. He handed Billy Fil
dew, his ciuemalographer (that
means cameraman) a round-trip tick
et to Windytown and packed him,
his Bellanhowcll and 16 cans of raw
film on board the limited. Fildew
will also film outdoor stuff in the
ice skating country of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, and may even cross over
to Canada for a drink of water. .Who
knows?
