LOBBY CHATTER by MIQUE O'BRIEN

"On account of the war" ie a very prevalent alibi these days. All of the loafers, the etallers, the recalcitrants are using it and since we find some of these folks in the theatrical business is it any wonder we find many things blamed on the war that would otherwise be charged up to pure cussedness, downright negligence, indifference to public opinion?

cite instances indicating the

soundness of my contention? I might, but I would have it distinctly understood I am picking cases at random, offhand as it were.

Mr. Skinner who played in Muncie, Ind., of a Friday night was deeply chagrined when he found that owing to tho non-delivery of his scenery for "Mister Antonio" at the Grand until nearly 8 o'clock Saturday night he couldn't raise the first curtain until 9 O'clock. Mr. Skinner's management overlooked a bet. The troupe could havo reached Terre Haute in time to give a matinee Saturday with a little common sense understanding with the railroad people. Every telegraph operator between New York and Muncie knew the train on which Mr. Skinner was scheduled to travel was many hours late. Ivory, ivory everywhere and no marbles to play with!

Why were the programs for The Man Who Cam3 Back" that were distributed at the Grand Friday night labelled "The Man From Home?"

Really can't say. It might have been intended as a compliment to Harray Sleight a Terre Haute boy in the cast. Very Good Eddie blames the printer and the company manager hoped Billy Brady wouldn't hear of it.

Speaking of Mr. Brady, I have a letter from him explaining his withdrawal from the managing directorship of the World Film Corporation. Says Mr. Brady: "After two years of the most intensive aplication to the production of a regular program of weekly releases, at the same time carrying on my many theatrical and other enterprises, I have decided, in justice to my own interests and the demands upon me at this time, to withdraw from *"7 active responsibilities in the World Film Corporation, retaining my seat upon the directorate and my interest in the company.

SIXTH F1RAR FILM COMES TO OKPH

"The Devil Stone" to Be Presented Today and Monday With Big Cast.

The Artcraft production of "The Devil Stone," which will be shown at the Orpheum today and Monday, marks the sixth Geraldine Farrar production filmed at the studios of the Lasky company since the famous prima donna firut entered the field of the photoplay, two years ago.

It is interesting to note that all of the Farrar productions have been created by practically the same workins organisation, including the director, Cacil B. DeMille, who has been responsible for the staging of the entire series of remarkable features, and Jeanie MacPherson, who wrote the scenarios for the six photoplays.

Tho selection of appropriate vehicles for the noted star has been a serious problem, but the great success of the Farrar films bespeaks well of the judgment of the producers, who have based the stories on big themes, the more recent of which, "The Woman God Fotgot" and "Joan the Woman," created the new epoch in cinema art. "The Devil Stone" is a story of weird fascination which presents Miss

In it, the star ia supported by Eugene O'Brien and a capable cast, and the picture is directed In* Charles Miller, who also directed Secret of the Storm Country" "Ghosts of Yesterday," Miss madge's two previous offerings.

Vivian Martin, the petite blonde stop Mho once played "The Wax Mode and looked the part, is indeed a veritable fashion plate. In "Molly Entangled," her latest Paramount pi- turo, which is to appear at the Orpheum, she wears several stunning cost'imenu She is first seen as Molly Shawn, bright-eyed Irish colleen, when her costume consists of simple gingham frock, heavy apron and tha coarsest hind of shoes and hand knit sock i. Perhaps still more attractive is her costume in a later scene where she is the bride of Jim Barry and wears a filmiest—no fun intended—dress of white chiffon over shell pink with wee bows of pink sc'rtMorcd here and there and tiaiest rosebuds as girdle.
