STRONG CAST APPEARS ‘•IX “SENTIMENTAL TOMMY.” A cast full of big names takes part in "Sentimental Tommy,” which was written by Sir James Barry and which will be on view at the Ohio next week, beginning Sunday. In the title role Is Gareth Hughes, a young Welsh actor, whose brilliant histrionic ability has made him one of the best Juveniles of the stage, and who was suggested unanimously for the trying role of Tommy. For the role of Grlzel, the Intense, serious sweetheart of Tommy, May McAvoy, one of the most promising young actresses was chosen. "The Panted Lady" serves to introduce Mabel Taliaferro, stage and screen etar, at supremacy. George Fawcett, a veteran screen actor, Is Dr. McQueen. Others in the cast include Kate Davenport of the famous Dav-enport-Drew-Barrymore and Rankin family ; Malcolm Bradley, celebrated Shakespearian actor; Alfred Kappeler, Leila Frost, Kempton Greene, Virginia Valll, and Harry L. Coleman. No English author has produced more high grade works than Sir James M. Barrie, author of the ‘‘Sentimental Tommy” books. His plays have been produced in England and America with equal success at tbe most important theaters and the leading actresses and actors of the stage have played in them with striking results. Some of his important plays have already been picturtzed by Paramount, among which are “The Admirable Crichton,” screened under the title of "Male and Female,” and "Hall an Hour” and "Wbat Every Woman Knows,” in which Maude Adams starred on the legitimate stage. "Sentimental Tommy” was one of the most successful of his books and it lent Itself admirably for screen purposes. Arrangements have been made for sir James to write original photoplays for Paramount. “TOE GOOD BAD WIFE.” BOOKED AT THE ALHAMBRA.

German historical spectacles never seem to have caught the Los Angeles idea that art is chiefly a matter of quantity.” Quality! That’s what “Passion” and “Deception” are. They are the blue blood of pictures. They are the Man o’ Wars of film industry. They have rank, breeding, mettle, and Imagination. What powerful propaganda they must have been! What did we have In that line to compare with them? This is the opinion of Mae Tince. This department expressed Its opinion last Monday on “Deception.” • • * Paramount has eleven productions either In woi'k or about to begin In its three studios in Hollywood, Long Island and London, according to data furnished this department.
