FB.H STARS GALORE IN GRAND FEATURES

"The Brute," "Million Dollar Mystery" and "Classmates" for This Week.

The film features announced at the Grand for the week beginning: this afternoon Include a Famous Players' success, "The Brute," the first reels of the Thanhouser serlel. The "Million Dollar Mystery" and Klaw and Erlanger four reel production of William C. De Mille and Margaret Turnball's "Classmates."

The opening bill -will be "The Brute," Frederic Arnold Hummer's powerful story descriptive of a strong man's triumph over a woman's pride. Malcolm Williams, one of the stars of the legitimate stage who has made good in ^the movies, will enact the role of Donald Rogers, "the brute." Mr. Williams was the villian in the original production of "Madame X." He last appeared

In Terre Haute with Madame Nazemova. Mr. Williams was one of the stars of the "Lamb's Gambol" last season. "The Brute" will be shown on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "The Million Dollar Mystery," the first reels of which will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday, is adapted for the screen from the novel of Harold McGrath by Lloyd Lonergan.

The story is acted for the camera by an all star cast as follows: Sidney Hargreave, the millionaire, Alfred Norton Jones, Hargreafve's butler, Sidney Bracey Florence Gray, Hargreave's daughter, Florence LeBadie The Countess Olga, Marguerite ]Snow Jim Norton, a newspaper rejporter, James Cruze Susan, Florence

Gray's companion, Lila Chester Braine, one of the conspirators, Frank Farrington.

The Black Hundred, a secret band of Russian millionaires, figure in the plot. There are railroad wrecks, accidents to balloons and thrills innumerable.

This first episode will reveal the secret sessions of the plotters, the uncanny disappearance of the million dollars and the remarkable escape of the millionaire, Hargreave, even though surrounded at every point by his deathdealing pursuers.

The bill for Friday and Saturday will be "Classmates," a four reel production in which such stars of the motion picture world as H. B. Walthal and Blanche Sweet, who scored In "A Million Bid," Lionel Barrymore and Thomas Jefferson appear. All of the above features are exclusive, the sort that are shown at the best theatres in the larger cities. The fhct that one may see the best there is in the way of motion pictures In comfort no matter what the atmospheric conditions, is having its effect on the attendance at the Grand. Never before did motion pictures draw one-half so well as they are drawing since Manager Charles E. Smith started in with the intention of making ,us like his programs by giving entertainment of irresistable appeal.

I' I "Lucille Love" seriel, with anIII other entitled "The Trey of Hearts," by Louis Joseph Vance, with Cleo Madison in the leading role. Mr. Vance is the author of the novels, "The Brass Bowl" and "The Bandbox."

Mary Pickford is the star In the Famous Players' production of "The Eagle's Mate," now running at the Strand theatre in Nev York. It is the film sensation of the summer season in the big city.

Those plays in which Mary Pickford first gained tame on the screen as an Imp star are to be re-Issued by the Universal Film Manufacturing company. This was recently decided upon because of the great many requests to that effect which have reached the Universal from exhibitors and fans all over the country during the past month or so. The first play, entitled "In the Sultan's Garden," will be released July 20, and from then on one will be released every other Monday for an indefinite period.

In "The Great Universal Mystery," which will be shown in serial form at the Princess, all the Universal stars will appear from time tc time.

One million feet, or 1,000 reels of films, were sold at public auction at the New York Film works last week. Thirty film manufacturers offered their releases at the sale.

At the Dayton convention last week it was shown there are 6,615 motion picture theatres within a radius of 300 miles of Dayton.

Leah Baird is back with the Vitagraph people.

The Rams company is producing Paul Potter's "The Conquers" at Fort Lee, N. J.

"When the World Was Silent," which the Imp will release July 13th, is the first production of Herbert Brenan turned out since the sensational "Neptune's Daughter," showing Annette Kellerman as a diving nymph. William Welsh, William Shay and Leah Baird are in the cast.

The Essanay company has added a reel to its weekly program. Heretofore the company has been releasing five attractions weekly, as follows: A comedy drama or drama on Tuesday, a comedy on Wednesday, a comedy on Thursday, a two-reel drama on Friday and a western drama, on Saturday. The new release, which will be on Monday, commencing July 13th, will be a slapstick comedy introducing a new character and entitled "Surding, the Swatter."

Gus Hill ie to film "Happy Hooligan,"* "Mutt and Jeff" and "McFadden's Flats."

King Baggot, the Imp star, will be featured in a series of Broughton Brandenburg's detective stories.

Irvin S. Cobb, the humorist, has become a motion picture actor, as witness his recent appearance in "Our Mutual Girl," and not content with that has written an article for Reel Life, on how a film star should deport himself.

His experience before the camera is limited for, it will be remembered, he merely exercised his facial muscles for a few moments while he told stories to Norma Phillips, the Margaret of the series.

It is settled that photoplays of the highest class are to be given In conjunction with excerpts from grand opera at the magnificent structure which is Oscar Hammerstein's latest contribution to the list of New York'o play houses. It was intended as a rival to the Metropolitan Opera house, but the courts enjoined Mr. Hammerstein from carrying out his plans, holding that his agreement' to stay out of grand opera in New York for ten years must be carried out. Under the new policy the best seats at the Hammerstpin amusement palace will be 25 cents.

On Monday rehearsals of "The High Cost of Loving," in which Lew Fields is to star, Will begin in New York. It is due at the Republic theatre later on. In Field's supporting company are Alice Hegeman, Vivian Martin. Kitty Brown, George Hassell, Billio Taylor, Horry Beresford, Ernest Lam­

Francis Wilson, the comedian, built a fine home at New Rochelle, N. Y., some years ago. Efforts were made to lease the house for making the films for "The Million Dollar Mystery," the Thanhouser Mutual serial, but the owner refused to close the deal when he learned that hundreds of soldiers, actors and camera men would be camped In the yard for several weeks Thereupon President Hlte of the Thanhouser company asked the price of the property, and when told that it was held at $200,000 he bought it. This is the highest price ever paid for a house to be used In making a motion picture.

Margarita Fischer is put to an unusual test in "The Other Train," a drama soon to be released under the Beauty brand. She plays the part of a character that is first seen In girlhood and is at old age at the ehd of the play. Miss Fischer's versatility is such that she successfully accomplished the feat.

servable. Almost any night you will And at the Grand the sort of people you'd expect to see at a two dollar entertainment. Of course, you will And the :egulation movie fans, those who are glad of an opportunity to see old favorite stars of the film world in better productions and amid surroundings that are as comfortable as are to be found anywhere. Among other things Mr. Smith has discovered is that the best photo plays are staged by men who never were heard* of until a few years ago, that the best acting usually is done by young persons, whwere absolutely unknown outside their own home towns half a dozen years ago. Indeed, Anita Stewart, one of the most talented of the film stars recently screened at the Grand, is an overnight development of the movie world She's only nineteen years old. The more I see of the feature fllma the more convinced I am that the stage director is the "whole works" in the screen productions and the best act­

ing is done by young people, who are content to do exactly what the stage directors, like the wonderful Griffiths, tell them to do and some of the worst acting is done by the "legits," who feel they are lowering their dignity when they consent to act before the camera, for a consideration. By all accounts our old friend Malcolm Williams, a recent acquisition from the "legits," Is quite as good in pictures as he was in emotional drama and that's good enough fcr anybody, for Malcolm Williams, as a character actor, Is very close to Wilton Lackaye. We will have a chance tc look him over for Mr. William's shadow will be with us In "The Brute," at the Grand.

"Happy" Warde, after several years retirement, caught the stage .fever while out gamboling with the Lambs and will return to the boards next season. He will star in a musical comedy with his wife, Lucy Daly, as his chief feminine assistant.

Elizabeth Murray, who "arrived" as a musical comedy star the night she first sang "Oh, You Dublin Rs*" In "Madame Sherry," has been having a controversy with Otto Hauerbach as to the merits of "High Jinks" In which she performed for a time. In an interview Miss Murray declared she and not Mr. Hauerbach was the author of that laugh-getting line, "It's a great life if you don't weaken." To which the author made reply: "Tell Miss Murray that since she left the cast welve cut that line out and that she may now go and write a piece around It."
