LADIES’ WEEK ON BROADWAY BIG SUCCESS (Continued From Page Six.) colorful, sinister and picturesque. It was that of an Indian prince. The play Is a melodrama of the approved style, with mysterious doors and cabinets, and much Intriguing. There is a surprise finish which thp authors beg shall not be divulged to prospective playgoers, and as there was much mystifying action and dialogue, the better part of valor would be to accept their wish as law. lan Maelaren and Sydney Shields gave good support, and the designer of the settings contributed largely to the effectiveness of the play. “Candida.” one of Shaw's smartest comedies, was revived at the Greenwich Village Theater last week with Ellen Von Valkenburgh, Maurice Brown. Maroni Olsen, Janet Young, Charles Webster and Harry Nevelle. It has often been revived in New York—Arnold Daly was the last to revive it —and it is now, as it has always been, one of th e most amusing of the Shaw skits. The casting was very good in this play, and the event passed off smoothly. After hours spent on “Back to Methuselah” one welcomes “Candida'’ as a breath of fresh Air in a stifling room. * Emanuel Reicher is planning to establish a repertory company oh Broadway. He will produce several new plays with a company assembled principally from the students in his own shool. Richard G. Herndon, manager of the Belmont Theater and many successful plays, is arranging to give over his theater to a permanent repertory company for neat season. Interesting plans are promised shortly to be announced. It will prove as original as interesting. MONTE BLUE IS COMING TO SEE HIS HOME FOLK (Continued From Page Six.)

OYer for a second week, beginning tomorrow afternoon. The movie version follows the stage manner of presentation, with the exception that the movie shows the life of Joe on the race track. Rex Ingram directed the picture and is largely responsible for its success. The cast includes Alice Terry, George Cooper, Lydia Knott, Betty Allen and others. -I- -I* -IRF.AL SEA SETTINGS USED IN* VALENTINO MOVIE. Meiggs Wharf, one of the best known water front locations in San Francisco, is the scene of some exciting action in “Moran of the Lady Letty,” which George Mulford has produced for Paramount, with Dorothy Dalton in the faeture role, and Rudolph Valentino as the male lead. The majority of the scenes are actually laid in the locations used by the author, Frank Norris, whose work was translated to the screen by Monte M. Katterjohn. Water scenes were also made aboard ship outside the headlands and through Golden Gate. In Magdalena Bay was located the lair of the notorious Captain Kitchell, an Eurasian cutthroat, played by Walter Long. Rudolph Valentino appears as Ramon Leredo, a wealthy scion of an aristocratic Spanish family, who is .shanghaied aboard a smuggler. Thus he meets Moran, the hardy, elemental girl; who dresses as a man and bandies a ship like a master. Then follow fights with Kitchen's gang of bloodthirsty miscreants, struggles with mutinous sailors and the blowing up of the ship. A real sea tale! “Moran of the Lady Letty” will be tte feature offering at Mister Smith's next week. *1- -I- -IMONTE BLFE HERE IN PERSON. Monte Blue, local movie actor, and Tove Danor, a model who has posed for magazine covers for Harrison Fisher, the artist, will make personal appearances at Loew's State next week. This theater is observing “Welcome Home Week” in honor of Blue's visit to this city. The movie feature will be “Footfalls,” a Fox production. “Footfalls” is based upon the story of the same title by Wilbur Daniel Steele, which was awarded the O. Henry Committee short story prize for 1920. It deals with a blind cobbler whoso acute sense of hearing enables him to recognize the football of every resident of the little New England fishing village where he lives and works. Furthermore, the

footfalls of his son and other Intimates reveal to him changes of mood—distress, anger, Joy. In the later scenes the blind cobbler listens constantly, eagerly, for the footfalls of a murderer returning to the scene of his crime, knowing they will come. The production was directed by Charles J. Brabin. The cast includes Tyrone Power, Estelle Taylor, Tom I iglas and Gladden James. -1- -I- -|- RAY AND KEATON ON CIRCLE BILL. Charles Kay and Buster Keaton will share headline honor at the Circle for the week beginning Sunday afternoon. Ray will be seen in his latest picture, "Gas, Oil, Water,” and Keaton will appear in "The Paleface.” As George Oliver Watson, a United States secret service man, Ra yis sent to the Mexican border to capture and break up a smuggling ring. When the picture opens he Is lord and master over a gasoline filling station near a tourist hotel on the border. The hotel proprietor has a daughter nearly too beautiful to be true and George Oliver promptly loses his heart and head, but

By the time he has picked them out of the hotel guest list the winning of the girl has become his chief thought, but emergency and allegience to his country and his employer, bring him back to duty several times when he feels like fleeing the country with his love. Ray proves himself an athlete and a daredevil stunt performer In several scenes of the picture. He presses Into service an airplane, automobiles, motorcycles and bicycles In chasing down the lawbreakers. Buster Keaton has something new to offer in “The Paleface” that Is said IN THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE (Continued From Page Six.) were 731 favorable answers, twenty-three unfavorable and fifty-four non-committal. There was little comment upon this query most editors answering with “yes,” or

“decidedly so.” Som& doubt was expressed, however, as to whether the films depicted the type of playß that would bring out the appreciation of finer things, or “illusory” nonsensical, high falutin' lies which lull the wicked.” A similarly unanimous response in the nfflmatlve was received to the question, “Im the motion picture theater where productions are carefully selected an'lnfluence fo r better citizenship?” There were 695 “yes” answers, forty-two “no” and fifty-eight non-committal. “Do picturegoers make a more efficient censorship authority than a politically controlled committee?” brought forth a storm of “yes” answers. There were 245 who answered “yes,” as against sixty-two “no” and seventy-seve'n noncommittal. A large number of editors declared the solution of censorship lies with the producer, that neither the public nor politically controlled censorship will prove to be efficient. “Politics should not interfere with the movies.” “I am too

prejudiced against official censorship to answer fairly,” “Public opinion is better than the opinion of a few,” and sflmilar comments were made by those who objected to political censorship committees. Among the reasons for political censorship advanced were: “A publicly appointed committee with power to act is essential,” and “picture-goers have no means of expressing themselves.” The increase in popularity of motion pictures throughout the country is reflected in the answer to the question of “Is the popularity of the motion picture increasing in your community?” which resulted 1 522 answers of “yes,” 152 answers of “no” and 10S who were noncommittal. Financial depression In many parts of the country is responsible for many of the negative answers, which are explained In comments of modification. Increase In attendance. Increase In use of films in schools, clubs and semi-private affairs, and increase in number of theaters, are given as supporting state-

ments to many of the editors who answered In th e affirmative. “Do you consider the present high standard of screen drama more safc for minds in progress of development than the run of fiction lierature offered for sale on news stands?” To this question there was 376 answers of “yes,” 172 “no” and 216 who were either non-com-mltal, or who answered to the effect that both were on a par or that both contained good and bad. A surprising result was obtained from the question, "Does the public want productions featuring star players or productions featuring the story?” Os 790 editors who answered this question, 469 preferred the story, 252 the star and seventy were non-committal. Most of those listed as non-commital, expressed the opinion that both storj and star were equally necessary for a good gcreen production. A few of those who listed stars as mostly favored by the public, added the word “unfortunately,” to the answers.
