CHARIvOTTK IVES, who supports E. I-T. SoUiern in tho production, "The Man of Mystery," from Archibald Clavering Gunter's "The City of Mystery," and which is the attraction at the Strand theater today to-day only, forms an ideal leading lady for this most famous actor of the modern mod-ern .stage. Miss Ives, who is tall and dark, plays very well indeed with the renowned romantic star, and the combination formed in this production is a. most attractive at-tractive one from both viewpoints artistic, and dramatic. THE legion of admirers of Mary Pickford will find her new Art-craft Art-craft photoplay, "How Could Yon, Jean?" one of the best vehicles in which she has been seen since "Rebecca of Snnnybrook Farm." This is a delightful stor-y which emphasizes em-phasizes the truth that even aristocratic young women, -when impoverished, will find themselves equal to every requirement require-ment imposed upon them by their new environment., even though circumstances circum-stances force them to earn their livelihood liveli-hood as ordinary house cooks. This charming photoplay is based upon up-on the novel of the same name by EJeanor Hoyt Brainerd, published serially seri-ally some time ago, in a leading magazine maga-zine and later appearing in book form with great success. Jean becomes a cook in a literary family, living in the country, and he'r leisure hours are devoted largely to repelling re-pelling the unwelcome affection of Oscar, Os-car, a house servant, audi to confiding her petty troubles, to Henrietta, the cow-. She meets Ted Burton, the son of a grouchy millionaire, who instantly falls in love with her, and who, when he lea.rns that Jean is a cook in the Bonner Bon-ner household, bribes Oscar to resign his position while he takes his place as hired man. There are numerous thrilling incidents inci-dents and many pretty bucolic scenes, which attend their courtship, and when both come to a realization of their own Roek. leaning his elbow on the neck of the donkev lie outlined an idea. "Fine, and what do you think of this one?" came hack Director Howe as be crossed his arms on the donkey's back and cave forth an idea. "Not so bad." answered Earle Montgomery. Mont-gomery. "I think it would fit In well with this kind of a stunt" and "Monty" unconsciously used the donkey's tail as an emphasizing medium In outlining the stunt. There are some thinss donkeys won't sland for. This was one of them. The result was rather fatal to "Mont," but the laue:h was thoroughly enjoyed by Mr. Rock and Mr. Howe, and within a half-hour half-hour this Big V comedy troupe was at work on a new picture in which the donkey was given a principal role. HERE'S Joe King's way of getting a table In a crowded cafe just slip the headwalter a rase note and. presto, it is done! The debonair leading man put his formula to test in a well-known and crowded cafe the other night, and, strange to relate, it failed for the onee. This Is how it haf pened : Filter King, smiling and confident with a fair dam.-sel on his arm. "Hello. Charlie," Joe smilingly greeted the man at the door, his hand meanwhile mean-while seeking his pocket and drawing out a crumpled five-spot, which he placed tn the other's palm. "I want a good table, quick," murmured Joe. "Sure, Mr. King." was the rejoinder, and the man disapnearcd. That was the last King saw of his man and his note for some time, though he finally secured a table. Later a bunch of flowers was sent over to King's companion from Ruth Roland's table. Turning to bow his thanks, Joe's jaw dropped. The "headwaiter" King had slipped the V to was Miss Roland's escort. King Is still out his five bucks, but Miss Roland declares she gave it to the Red Cross. THK possession of which lit tie Marion Weeks, now touring the Orpheum circuit, is most proud is a letter and autographed photograph from President Wilon, who indorsed his approval of her Toice some two years' ago. Marion has a sister. Ada Mae. Weeks, a dancer, who is appearing in one of the -New York productions. According Ac-cording to a story published last week, Colonel Roosevelt has expressed his high approval of Ada Weeks's abilities. Just suppose there are two third-term candidates candi-dates at the next presidential election, who will conduct the peace parleys at the Weeks' home? HAROLD LOCKWOOD confesses that he thought the charm which had protected him against bodily injury in so many past cinema melodramatics w-as going to fail him while the storm scenes in his coming com-ing production were being made. He was to drag Rert Starkey, one of his coworkers, co-workers, from a wireless cabin partiallj' demolished by a falling aerial pole, when, according to 'script, the second pole started to fall while I.ockwood was frantically fran-tically trying to pull Starkey from under tbe mass of debris.

"Hearts of the World," Griffith had the assistance and co-operation of the British war office. It is tho opinion of all who have seen the picture that the great producer has outdone his own former achievements and given a photo-drama photo-drama that will live forever as history and go down in the annals of picturedom as one of tho greatest of all screen masterpieces. mas-terpieces. TH"E Eialto is a house of features for the coming yveek, beginning ' today with the beautiful and talented Pearl White in "The House of Hate," supported by Antonio Moreno and an all-star cast. This interesting in-teresting photodrama is getting more thrilling every week, and is pleasing many patrons. Op the same bill is George Larkia in one of the adventures of Grant, police reporter, the Universal Animated Weekly, Week-ly, with its latest official war pictures, a cartoon comedv and the O.

CAPTIVATING Mabel Normand comes to Broadway Sundav' and Monday in her newest and most original Goldwyn production, "The A'enus Model." Fitted with a role which suits her as perfectly as the dashing bathing costume cos-tume she wears as "The Venus Model,'' Mod-el,'' Miss Normand may be depended on to give an excellent account of herself her-self as Kitty O'Brien, who bound love with a silk "thread as a worker in the factory of Braddock & Co., makers of bathing suits so old-fashioned that they wouldn't sell. So Kitty works out a swimming garment which her acute sense of what women want tells her will 1 be a great success. And it is. The costume is called "The Venus Model," and Kitty herself is viewed bv the buyers in the chic costume. Business Busi-ness booms and Kitty is promoted to the desk of chief designer. She cm-plovs cm-plovs the son of the owner as an assistant. as-sistant. The young fellow's father is absent, and ho chooses to come under an assumed name in order to prove to his parent that he has the right stuff m biro. Kittv and the stranger become great friends and work together to put the business on a firm foundation. Love comes to both, but the girl thrusts it aside, feeling that she is unworthy. After other amusing adventures and escapes, the owner of the business returns, re-turns, delighted with what Kitty tells him of the stranger, who has proved such a help. The right conclusion is brought about in the happiest manner, and Kitty is given a permanent place, in the hearts of both father and son. IEN minutes after starting a selling talk for the war savings stamp drive at the Long Beach civic auditorium recently, Roscoe "Fat-tv" "Fat-tv" Arbuckle had sold ten "limit" pledges of J1000 each, and five of $500 each. At the end of an hour's work on the platform the comedian had secured more than $85,000 for the Long Beach quota. Assisted bv a band, "Fatty" kept things humming, while his coworkers circulated among the crowd of SO'JO people collecting collect-ing the pledges and cash subscriptions. A stirring patriotic talk, interspersed with funny war stories, by Arbuckle kept the audience until the end. Every time interest waned the comedian started things again with a new pledge from I someone in his company. Twenty-five hundred dollars was the pledge of the "Fatty" Arbuckle Comedy I company, of which sum the star comedian purchased the limit $1000 in stamps. T- O protect his organization from even the slightest suspicion of employing em-ploying any pro-Germans, William Fox has taken steps toward the discharge of any employee of the Fox Film corporation who is not 100 per cent American. At the recent convention of the. Fox exchange managers in New'. York, Mr. Fox called on al) those present to submit sub-mit confidential reports regarding anybody any-body whom thej' suspected of not being true Americans. These reports. Mr. Fox announced, would be investigated, and if it was found any employee was not wholly loyal he would be instantly dismissed. A LETTER from a Belgian youth, who is now a refugee in England, was received recently by Theda Bara. "While going to cinemas in England," En-gland," the letter said, "I made your acquaintance ac-quaintance on the screen, madame. and can't help letting you know how I admire your wonderful acting. I really wonder whether you know how the Belgian people peo-ple love your acting? They are able to understand the pieces so well by your extraordinary expressions. The people hope ever so well that your pictures may be shown in Belgium after the war." The letter, which was signed "Jean Gallemcart." stated the writer was 16 vears old and was slaying in Bourne-ipouth. Bourne-ipouth. England, with his mother and younger sister. A CHRISTMAS story told by Douglas Fairbanks is going the rounds In July, but Doug claims it's new; A poor chap from the country took his girl to a fashionable Broadway restaurant for their Christmas : dinner and committed gaucherle on I gaucheric. The bill of fare was in French and the chap pointed to an item on it I and said huskily, "We'll begin with that." "Sorry, sir," said the waiter, "but the 1 orchestra's playing that." I Then the waiter handed him a napkin. The chap looked at it carefully, frowned, got up, spread it on his chair and sat on it. The waiter, taking" pity on him, said; "Will you have the table d'hoto or a !a carte, sir?" "Both," said the chap, coughing. "Both, with plenty of gravy." B: EBE DANIELS is forever figuring out freak ideas for parties, especially espe-cially since she ha an opportunity to donate the proceeds of her affairs af-fairs to the Red Cross. One evening lately she gave a kid dress-up party at the Chestmerc apartments, apart-ments, where she had gathered about seventy-five couples, the girls bringing basket lunches, which were sold to the highest bidders among the men present. She was assisted by Harold Lloyd and Harry Tollard, her coworkers. JOE ROOK, his Big V comedy partner. part-ner. Earle Montgomery, and his director, di-rector, J. A. Howe, were "between pictures." They were in this slate simply because the combined brains of the three had as yet produced no new story for them to start on. They hetook themselves to the hack ranch at the Vita-graph Vita-graph fdudio wherein grazed a donkey. "Now, hero's a situation,'' offered Ji masquerades, they find happiness in their mutual love. The picture has been spletfdidlv produced pro-duced under the direction of William D. Taylor, and an .unusually excellent cast of supporting players, fully up to the Mary Pickford Artcraft standard, has been provided. These include Cas-son Cas-son Ferguson, who is the vis-a-vis to Mary Pickford, Spottisvvoode Aitken, Larrv Peyton, Lucile Ward and others. This picture will be displayed at the Paramount-Empress for four days, commencing com-mencing at noon today. CONSTANCE TALMADGE comes to the American theater today and tomorrow as the star of "Good Night, Paul!" her latest picture. It -was adapted for the screen by Julia Crawford Ivers from the musical musi-cal comedy success of the same name by Eoland Oliver and Charles Dickson. This is the laugh-provoking vehicle in which Ralph Herz recently appeared in the laiger cities; the photoplay has, of course, been considerably modified for Miss Talmadge's use, but the screen version is even funnier than the stage presentation and may well be called a bonanza of laughter, with a hearty giggle gig-gle in every foot of film. Matilda, whose role is interpreted by Constance Talmadge, is the young wile of Richard Landers (Norman Kerry); he and his partner. Paul Boudeaux (Harrison Ford), are in financial straits, with their credit exhausted. Paul's L'ncle Batiste announces that he is coming on to visit his nephew; if he finds him married, he will settle $50,000 on him for perpetuating the family name. Paul refuses to take the obvious remedy, for he is a confirmed woman-hater, woman-hater, and things look dark indeed; but when the uncle arrives, Matilda tells him she is Paul 's wife. The old provincial pro-vincial is delighted too much so, in fact for after ho gives Paul the promised prom-ised donation, he decides to prolong his stay from a few hours to a month. It becomes necessary to continue the deception, de-ception, of course, and Matilda's ingenuity in-genuity is taxed to the limit, but she gets through the trying time successfully. success-fully. In the closing, reel. Uncle Batiste finds a helpmate, and even Paul is paired off with a charming nurse, while Matilda makes full confession as she returns to the arms of her "lawful wedded husband." And the uncle is so wrapped up in his new-found happiness happi-ness that be forgives all the young folks and joy reigns over all. AN announcement' of interest to amusement seekers of Salt Lake is that "Hearts of the World," David W?ark Griffith's brilliant motion picture success, is to be shown at the Orpheum theater, under the direction direc-tion of the. Orpheum management, and with all the incidental attractions m the way of music and stage settings that have won such unstinted praise in other big cities where the p'.-ot.oplay has made -a pronounced hit. The local engagement en-gagement will begin Sunday, July 21. " Hearts of the World" is declared to be the supreme Griffith tri'imph, excelling excel-ling the great "Birth of a Nation" and "Intolerance" in massiveness and genuine genu-ine interest. It inaugurates a new era in screen drama, for in it Griffith, has filmed a simple little love story with the great war as a background. It has created a sensation wherever screened for public vicwT. Mr. Griffith realized that the public, which became enthusiastic over "The Birth of a Nation" and "Intolerance" would expect something big from him in this latest picture, and. therefore, instead in-stead of trying to outdo himself in staging stag-ing gigantic battle scenes, he used the world war only as a background for the filming of an attractive and tremendously tremendous-ly human interest story. '"Hearts of the World" shows the happy, peaceful life of the people of a small" Village before the grim horror of war reared its ugly head over the horizon. hori-zon. The causes that led up to the war are shown; the meeting of tae English parliament on the eventful night when the vote was cast lor war; the session of the French senate voting i.pon I he declaration of war; the session of the cabinet awaiting the fatal hour when the ultimatum to Germany would expire. These scenes come as a prelude; then the great drama begins when the Hun hordes enter Franco. In taking the battle pictures for |
