Daily Tribune, Terre Haute, Vigo County, 17 October 1915 — Page 11

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1915.

Bennett (William E. Shay) is a handsome man-about-town, but despite his sophistication and general air of being utterly blase he falls desperately in love with La Valencia (.Valeska Suratt), a dancer. Lavvton (George Middleton), a decrepit old roue, is a devoted admirer also of La Valencia, but while the dtwncer worships his money she detests the man himself. However, she decides with characteristic Broadway philosophy that, after all money is the thing. Bennett finally steals funds from the bank of which he is president in order to hold the love of the woman with whom he has become so madly infatuated.

In the meantime, however, and before he reaches La Valencia's side with the money he has ruined himself to obtain for her. he learns that she has also taken money from Lawton. He upbraids her furiously and is raising his arm to strike the woman who has betrayed him when Bhe snatches up a pearl-handled revolver. Bennett, beside himself with rage, snatches It from her. In the struggle it explodes and La Valencia is wounded. As she falls, the police rush in. They have discovered the robbery and traced the criminal to La Valencia's apartments. Bennett is arrested not only for the robbery but for attempted murder. He is tried and sentenced to prison for seven years.

When he gets out of prison the real story begins. There are stirring Bcenes in which Miss Suratt as the masked woman of mystery is always the central figure.

VALESKA SURAH A MOVIE STAR

Makes Screen Debut At the Grand Today In "The Soul of Broadway."

Valeska Suratt, as a screen star, will be seen for the first time in public in her own home town. "The Soul of Broadway," the Fox photoplay in which Miss Suratt is the bright, particular star, will not be regularly released to exhibitors until Monday, but Manager Smith, of the Grand, has made arrangements with W. S. Sheehan, general manager of the Fox company, which permits him to exhibit some of the Fox features a day in advance of the regular release day. "The Soul of Broadway" was written for the Terre Haute actress by Herbert Brenon, who also directed the picture. The story is melodramatic.

Replace "Audience"

Wanted—a word that will replacc "audience." According to President Richard A. Rowland of the Metro Pictures Corporation it is a misnomer as far as motion pictures are concerned, and there are many who will agree with him. "I rpprociate that folks are not staying up nights worrying over the subject," says Mr. Rowland, "still the fact remains that a new word must be coined tn be used instead of tile word

'audience,' when we refer to a group of persons, who assemble to view motion pictures. We all know that such an assemblage cannot be properly called an audience, for that means persons who hear something. The name applies to auditors. We might call them viewers or surveyors of motion pictures, but still there is no noun in the language used in the same sense wo use 'audience.' Heretofore the American people ha^e been Quick on the trigger to coin a new word when the emergency arose. I cannot, for the life of me, account for their negligence in this matter. "Sin-ce motion pictures are universally popular, and 'audiences' are steadily on the increase, it seems as if someone ought to bob up pretty soon with a bright, snappy, expressive, newly coined word. Here, indeed, is a golden opportunity for aomeone to gain undying fame and br^ak into the dictionary. I am even willing that a rival shall think a suitable word first and have it copyrighted, for we need that word badly

Making Pictures With Aid of Gendarmes

The switchboard of the mammoth police headquarters building In New York City, the largest telephone operating board in the world, is seen in full operation with its uniformed operators in "The Soul of Broadway," the sensational William Fox photodrama starring the far-famed Valeska Suratt. Such a privilege has never before been granted any picture company in fact, the proceedings at the switchboard over which come the swiftly flashed reports of crimes, large and small, In every section, have been kept a secret from outsiders. In "The Soul of Broadway," therefore, the public at large gets its first chance to see just how the New York police headquarters telephono system is worked, including the operation of sending out a general alarm for an escaped murderer.

The switchboard, which is shown in Its entirety and in "close-ups" is four hundred feet long and at it are seated twenty operators, all keen, alert, picked men in uniform. It ifl estimated that in the course of a year six million calls come over the wires, some trivial, some telling tragic stories of crime and death in their most hideous and repellent forms. In making the scenes at police headquarters, Director Hebert Brenon has the full co-op-eration of Commissioner Arthur Woods, every operation being carried out in minutest detail and according to the exact daily routine followed in such matters.

"Maid in America"

Due here Ncv. 10!h

Bewitching "Maid in America," the most pretentious of all New York Winter Garden entertainments, conies to the Grand oh November 10th with a chorus of sixty of the prettiest girls ever sent on tour with a musical show. Every lassie in the show is a queen of beauty and deserves a spotlight of her own. Where so many handsome women were collected from no one knows but the Winter Garden management and it won't tell. These beautiful "Winter Garden girls will make the "sumurun" runaway, a miniature stage that runs over the seats from the stage to the rear of the auditorium, as important to a winter garden show as the boardwalk Is to Atlantic City. The new show is a musical revue In two acts with twelve scenes ranging from Times Square, New York, today, to Egypt under Cleopatra and Athens when Socrates was a leading resident. The show has life, color, movement, attractive costuming in kaleidoscopic variety and goes with a swing and dash that seems to characterize all winter garden offerings. At the head of the company of 125 are Florence Moore, and Mile. Dazie, international dancing favorite, who will be featured In the "Ballet of Color and Motion."

merous changes in the cast have been made since first we saw "The Bird of Paradise," but in finding types to take the places of those who first caught the judge's eye In this play, Mr. Morosco and Daniel Frawley have shown quite a bit of acumen. Miss Carlotta Monterey may not impress you in the earlier scenes—you may recall Jessie Barriscale and her hojp& made dialect —but in the strongly' dramatic scenes which mark the ctfbse of the drama this young woman is a wonder. The matinee audience gave her an anti-climatic outragiously noisy acclaim, which really ought to be avoided out of deferance tu those who were spellbound out In front.

Two excellent actors are given opportunity as the beachcomber and the young doctor. Richard Gordon, -the beachcomber, is good all the way through and Hooper L. Atchley plays the part of Paul Wilson as well as it has ever been played. "The Bird of Paradise" will come back again next year and the year after that and in years to come. And when it does come back next season you will see the same old lineup at the box office. Why? Because^

hit in Boston, with John W. Cope as the judge and Willis P. Sweatnam as the colored body servant. The Boston Transcript says of the play: 'Back Home' is an artless, ambling and amusing little piece detugrtea to provide unpretentious entertainment in the theatre and resting content therewith. From the first rise to the final fall of th4 curtain, anecdote auoceeds anecdote, and while not a few of them lack plausibility, scarcely one fails to divert for the Instant the welldisposed spectator. They are. moreover, of abundant variety. Two or three, for example, have to do with the use of child labor In cotton mills in the south, and the best of these culminates in a fist-fight and in the death of one of the combatants by a Wow not intended to bo murderous, from the hands of the other. Two or three more concern the visit of a cirous to town and the expectations It awakens in young and old. Several others are pleasantly sentimental, playing about the affections of a young writer from the north for the daughter of the Kentucky judge, who is the chief figuro in the comedy. More—and some of the best—disclose the amiable and amusing traits of this Judge Priest and Jefferson Davis Poindexter, his black servant."
