It was none other than that great conioi.sseur of feminine beauty, Flo Ziegfeld, Jr. Of course, that was a compliment to Edith but Edith only rehearsed—she did not rfpen with the Follies. Edith isn't saying whether it 'N *a* a munitions maker, a stock broker or a slacker who made her see the folly of the Follies, but whoever it was, motion picture audiences will thank him for at least one good deed, it unintentional. iMith took the next train hack to

REVUE FOR

IIP" HEADLINER

'A Cycle of Hirth" to Be Presented Along With Paris-Made Patriotic Film.

Tn addition to the official Red Cross picture, "The Historic Fourth of July in Paris, 191$," which will be shown at the Hippodrome as an extra attraction for the first three days of the coming week, an unusually pretentious vaudeville program has been arranged. Heeding the bill will be "A Cycle of Mirth," six girls and one man, described as a "wheel of beauty, youth and song." The act is a song, dance and costume review in miniature form, and with the pretty costumes, pleasing singing voices and novelty dances, it makes a most enjoyable period of any vaudeville bill.

The Aeroplane Girls, two daring misses in a new sensation in aerial gymnastics, is another feature of the bill. Donald J. Dunn, late star of "The Naughty Princess," in a new comedy originality, entitled "Filling a Disappointment," adds another good number. Mr. Dunn is quite a clever impersonator and demonstrates his ability to fill the places of a cortge of presentday vaudeville stars by impersonating them in their acts. Frank Wilson and Hazel Van offer another interesting number, which they style "Entertainment As-U-ULike-lt," consisting of instrumental numbers on piano and violin and excellent singing. Juggling DeLisle, "novelty entertainer," in a comedy talking and juggling originality, completes the bill.

Heading the week-end hill, starting Thursday, will be the Great Golden Troupe, European entertainers, presenting a spectacular performance Irving and Ward, in a comedy gem Carroll Pierlot and Company, in "The Morning After Ruth Roden. singing comedienne, and the Arco Brothers, sensational Polish gymnasts.

Red Cross Film tor the Hippodrome

In conjunction with every Keith and Orpheum vaudeville house In the United States, the Hippodrome will present for the first three days of the coming week, Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, in addition to the regular vaudeville bill, the official Red Cross picture, "The Historic Fourth of July in Paris, 1918." This picture shows many of the fighting men of the Rainbow Division just back from the front in Paris on the Fourth of July also the Red Cross nurses from the war front and the parade of the different allies in Paris to help celebrate the day, for the Americans will remain as one of the historic events of the war. The picture is the property of the Red Cro.fs and all proceeds from rentals go to the American Red Cross Society.

BETTY BLAMES THE WEATHER.

Betty Blythe's hair was the cause of several retakes recently, and it all hap pened because Betty made a hurried trip to New York to get well "marceled." On the return trip a shower canui up and "blooey" went the marcel wave. Result—scenes taken 24 hours previously showed her coiffure in beautiful shape, those taken the next day. after the shower, presented her looking like a drowned rat. And the script showed only the passing of five minutes between the two scenes.

GIRLS REPLACE CHORUS HEN.

Charles Dillingham, following the policy adopted with "Jack 0"Lantern," will not employ any chorus men in the new Julia Sanderson-Joseph Caw-thorn-Clifton Crawford musical piece. This, notwithstanding the fact that the authors had given directions for an even dozen chorus men. In their place Dillingham has engaged 12 young women.

"TELEPHONE GIRL" FOR QUEEN.

"The Telephone Girl," which, produced by George Lederer 20 years ago at the Casino, was the forerunner of our present day musical comedy. Is to be put on the screen by Louis Bursteln, who secured the motion picture rights. "The Telephone Girl" really has a plot, which will help a lot. and the players selected will be especially competent.

"FRENCH" FOLLIES AT THE GRAND TODAY

Lena Daley and Harry (Hello Jake) Fields Are Still At the Head o£ Organization.

When the French Frolics burlescpie company opens at the Grand this afternon for two performances the favorites, Harry "Hello Jake" Fields and Lena Daley, will be found at the head of the line-up.

Surrounding them, besides other principals of note, are The Twenty Fluttering Flappers, doves of peace, whose dainty wings have not been clipped, we are told—not the hardened old birds of pre, but little squabs still young and timid, who nutter along the rose-tinted elevated runway with timely tingling tunes.

The gowns worn in "The French Frolics" are said to be gorgeous in their magnificent array, the color effect rivaling the rainbow, the designing of a modern modiste. The scenic, properly and electric effects are as elaborate aJid pretentious as ever. Prominent in what is known as the speediest cast, in burlesque are Charles Patrick, Grace Reid, Lester Fairman, Jack 0*Malley, Gladys Jackson and iDanrty Graham.

"THE CLAWS OF THE HUN."

Wonderful military scenes were obtained by Thomas H. Ince in the production of "The Claws of the Hun." the next Paramount picture in which Charles Ray will be starred. Mr. Ince was granted permission to "shoot" scenes of the government's artillery in action at Camp Kearney, San Diego. This will evidence once more the care in production Mr. Ince will go to obtain perfect pictures. It will be" shown here at an early date.

DAVE FERGUSON ENLISTS.

Dave Ferguson, who has played big time vaudeville circuits for the last seven or eight years, and who before that time was a prominent figure in burlesque, has enlisted in the British army. He has been assigned to the Jewish battalion,' and expects to see service in the far east. His most recent theatrical engagement was in "The Kiss Burglar.'' Ferguson, who is a Russian by birth, is 38 years «of age.

IT WAS WELL NAMED.

"Triple Trouble," which Essanay will release shortly, and which Chaplin declares he never made, and which the First National claims is a reissue, looks as if it's gQing to make trouble for all three. There will be some explaining anyway.

LOBBY CHATTER by MIQUE O'BRIEN

The outlook for dramatic and musical shows at the Grand this season is better than it was a week ago, it being taken for granted something will be done to settle the transportation problem in a reasonable way. For the first time since the lawmakers began talking about doubling the war tax on admission tickets to theatres, Manager a i a n s e a was gladdened last week by the receipt of several contracts calling for the early appearance of very

"Turn to the Right," the comedy treat of last season, will come back on the 27th and 2Sth of this month with much the same cast we had last year. George Kingsbury will bring the original outfit down from Chicago at the close of the engagement in that city. Neal O'Brien's minstrels will be here on Oct. 3. The Stuart Walker production of Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen/* which had a two weeks" ran at the Murat in Indianapolis, is booked for Oct. 4 and 5. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be here on Oct. 19. Then comes "Leave It to Jane," "My Soldier Boy." the stupendous dramatic spectacle, "The Wanderer," on Nov. 4, 5 and 6 "The Bird of Paradise," on Nov. 8 and 9 "Eyes of Youth," Nov. 15 and 16, and Nat C. Goodwin, in "Why Marry," on Nov. 29. There's plenty of solid enjoyment to look forward to in this layout.

After today's showing of the latest Irene Castle film, the American will close for a few weeks, and when its doors again open to the public Shannon Katzenbach will show us something nifty in the way of an up-to-date interior. Gustayus Brand of Chicago will have charge of the decorations and the American Seating company has already sent on large comfortable seats.

General Manager Brentlinger has apparently solved the problem of finding vaudeville acts for the new Liberty theatre, if the first bill is a fair sample of what we may expect. He has booked up with Pantages, the vaudevill king of the northwest and the "so-so" west, who has been branching out in recent years until he now has a chain of theatres sufficient to insure an entire season's booking to such artists as sign with him. Frank Bush, the old-time story teller, is the vaudevill headliner of the opening bill.

The call to the colors which Maurice A. Fox, manager of the Orpheum, has been expecting for weeks, came yesterday from the south side "hoard. Qm three hours' notice the youngest of

our theatrical managers left for Ft. Benjamin TIarrison, there to be inducted into Uncle Sam's service to await another call which may take him to one of the cantonments. It is understood he is to be used for the present as a typewriter, for which job he certainly qualifies. Young Fox has for nearly two years had full charge of the Orpheum, the owners of the theatre, his father and Mr. Keating, giving him a free hand in the matter of directing the policy of the house. He has, made good, too, holding his full share of the patronage of the public and winning the respect and friendship of the motion picture people he has come into contact with in a business way.

Some of the Chicago theatres in the loop have advanced the price for orchestra se«ts on Saturday nights to Si!. The two leading vaudeville houses, the Majestic and the Palace, have increased the price for best seats from 75 cents to $1. The La Salle will have branch ticket offices where tickets may had at the regular box office nates. These branch ticket offices are all in ticket scalpers' offices, too. The plan of the theatre management is to pay the scalpers a commission for selling the tickets.

A girl act known in vaudeville as "A Bit of Broadway," has been barred from the cantonments on account of an objectionable song suggestion, jokes and improper dressing of the chorus. Theatrical companies appearing at cantonment* ace under str,ct military

regulations the same as soldier, and are subject to punishment for breaches of the regulations. No one not directly concerned in productions is permitted either upon the stage or in the dressing rooms of Liberty theatres.

The Tobacco Salesmen's Association of America has undertaken to raise $100,000 for smileage for soldiers in cantonments where Liberty theatres are in operation. The campaign is now on, and will last until the start of the fourth Liberty Loan drive. Smileage will be placed on sale at retail cigar stores in New York Citywhy not here?

Richard Bennett, who produced "Damaged Goods," seeks a feminine valet, not, be it known, by way of putting over a press agent's yarn, but because he thinks it is selfish for an actor to employ a man to do work these days that could be performed by a woman. Says Mr, Bennett in explaining his position: "My wife is personally taking charge of our baby and I have secured a position in a munition factory for the nurse we previously employed. I would do without a valet altogether if it wasn't necessary for me to make a number of rapid changes of clothes and make-up. I see no reason why a woman whose husband is at the front and who is compelled to take care of her family couldn't do as well hs a man, and in some respects even better from the fact that she can sew and therefore mend my wardrobe."

IRENE CASTLE FILM AT AMERICAN TODAY

Arbiter of Fashions Is Star In "Hie First Law," Pathe Photoplay.

In spite of her recent bereavement, Irene Castle, the Pathe star, who comes to the American for today only in her great screen success, "The First Law," remains an arbiter and leader of fashions in America. In a recent interview jnst before she sailed for France, where she is now entertaining the soldiers near the front. Mrs. Castle said that American women will be the style leaders more by-reason of their manner of wearing clothes the expense of their garments. "The woman who wants tws wett dressed, and this is the natural desire of every woman, must first of all learn' to be honest with herself," says Mrs Castle. "She must see herself as she is, and not as she would like to be. If she is short and broad, she imist not imagine herself tall and thtn, and vice versa. If she is angular aad bread, she must not believe herself plump and rounded. And then, having seen herself honestly, as in a looking-grhMS, she should dress in a manner suitable to her own peculiar style. "Take the French women, tar instance. They do not hesitate to admi? their faults in face and figure, anJ this grand stndy of themselves leads them to the adoption of those patterns fabrics, and adornments which lemi Distinction, individuality and style .to their appearance. "Go into a Parisian restanraat. Ton will never see, as in America, women of every height, weight, age and individuality all wearing clothes cut after the same design. American women are what one might call vogue crasy. They see a model, run across some particular style in a magazine worn by somebody or other, and are not happy until they get one like it. How much more sensible it would be to choose a style suitable to one's own self. Surely it is more comfortable and self-satisfying tc be distinctive, individual, representative of yourself than to be merely one in a crowd, like a paper doll in a long row cut from one folded sheet. Regardless of patterns or fabric, the well-dressed woman is the woman whose gown, suited to the occasion, best expresses herself.'*

Follies Chorister is Now Fatty's Team Mate

From the front row of the famous Ziegreld Follies beauty chorus to a close-up with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in "The Sheriff," his newest fun riot for the Paramount release, is the ambitious venture of pretty bkmd'e Mildred Reardon, who last «eason thrilled the first-nighters on gay Broadway. Although Miss Reardon has had no previous motion picture experience, "Fatty" Arbuckle declares that she is one ot the prettiest girls that ever wooed fame before the camera.

From Ottawa, HI., her birthplace— to pictures in the papers and everything, was quite a step, but playing a part with "Fatty" Arbuckle before the motion picture camera frightened the Follies beauty far more than did the footlights and long rehearsals.

By a strange coincidence "Fatty* Arbuckle was the favorite film star in the eyes of pretty Mildred Reardon. In fact, whenever Jovial "Fatty** visited Broadway screens the beauties of Ziegfeld Follies—led by Mies Reardon—never missed. Little did the little beauty then reckon that in another season she would he playing la ft "Fatty** Arbuckle comedy.

All-Star Dog Star, For Universal City

An all-star dog show promises to be the next big event at Universal City, for majiy of the fair feminine stars and lesser luminaries are acquiring new canine proteges. Mae Murray stopped work in her newest picture, 'The Scarlet Strain," long enough to purchase a prize Boston brindle bull pup. and she has asked the title department at the studio to give it a name.

Betty Schade, airled and abetted by Harry Carey, with whom she is working to "The Man Who Would Not Shoot." is mothering a young bull pup, which was recently presented to h^r by a soldier admirer stationed at Ft. McArthur.

The two Parisian poodles earned by Helen Wright, who gave the wool from their backs to the Red Cross for malting downy pillows for wounded soldiers, are now taking on their usual appearance and seeming less like convict canines.

With these four-footed companions as a nucleus, the animal fanciers promise to stage a dog show de luxe at the Universal studios.

HOSPITAL FOE FILM HEROES

Plans for a J300.000 hospital and home for the incapacitated in the war were submitted to the architect by the Motion Picture War Service associatio* today. The hospital is to be built on a 50-acre site within an hour's ride from Los Angeles. The plans call for a central building and scores of bungalows. The hospital will have 500 beds and a vocational training school. After the war the hospital will be used as a home for aged and invalid motion picture actors.
