Norma Talmadge Wins Eternal Fame by Her Dramatic Work in ‘Secrets'

By WALTER D. HICKMAN LACE the crown for the best dramatic characterization on J the screen in the past ten years upon the head of Norma Talmadge. It is my sincere opinion that Norma Talmadge is the most commanding dramatic character actress before the movie public today. She has been headed in that direction for at least two years, but she arrived at the very top when she made “Secrets” under the direction of Frank Borzage. JlaH released by First National. I am nnt unm in and ful jfe* that my statement regarding the poIr sition that Norma 5$ has reached on the screen is a *$ . . mighty broad one. It has been my duty for many years to study the screen both as to ( -i the development of she artist as well as the entire industry. I am NORMA satisfied in my TALMADGE own mind that Norma Talmadge by her character work in ‘'Secrets” leaves no room for argument as to the most commanding dramatic actress on the silver screen. This vehicle is of such a character that it permits Miss Talmadge to become a national institution. She has a powerful mother role in “Secrets.” By the use of the flashback she is seen as a young wife of a man when the West was really the West in this country. We see her as the mother of a growing family in 1870. Then she becomes a tragic but sweet character in the late 80's. Then we find and leave her as the sweet and lovely aged mother and lover near the end of her journey of life. A New Title Mary may still retain the title of the “Nation's Sweetheart,” but Miss Talmadge becomes more than that —she is the Nation's best character film actress. I am sure that as the influence of “Secrets” is felt that there will be no general controversy upon this point. Miss Talmadge really plays six or seven different characters although it is just the same character. The impression for this is arrived at by the fact that she plays the leading character at various ages. It requires consuir.ate artistry for a woman the age of Miss Talmadge to make up as a mother endowed with the right of being considered a grandmother. She has given the screen an aged mother characterization which rings true every second. Then the flashback makes her a girl just in her teens. She ages right before your very eyes. The really fine dramatic moment of the play comes when Miss Talmarige as Mary Carlton faces the mistress of her husband. The situation is not cheap. Mary Carlton knows that her husband still loves her although he has been unfaithful. She flehts as only an honest woman may fight. And she ■wins. It is seldom that a dramatic scene is so well projected as you find it in “Secrets.” It is intimate drama done in the best style of the screen. Concerning O’Brien

To make “Secrets" the big fine success that it really is, the director decided that th leading male player opposite Miss Talmadge must also be a big artist. The man must age and in the flashbacks he mU3t be youth itself. Eugene O'Brien was selected to play the role of John Carlton. Here is more careful and splendid character work. Must mention the highly colored work of Gertrude Astor as the woman who attempts “steal” a husband. Fine work although it is an unsympathetic role. The cast is so important that I give it in full: Miry Carlton Norma Talmadge John Carlton Etiemr O'Brien Susan Pattereon Dial Mrs Marlowe Emily Fitzroy Elizabeth Canning Claire McDowell Mrs. Manwarring: Gertrude Astor John Carlton. Francis Feeney and George Cow!. Blanche Carlton Alice Dav Boy Harvey Clark Dr McGovern 7 Charles Ogle William Marlowe George Nichols Robert Carlton Frank Elliot Audrey Carlton. .May Giracy and Clarissa Selwvnne Dr. Arbutnot Winter Hall Robert Carlton Winston Miller Lady Lessington Florence Wix “Secrets” is the sweetest story of the home that I have ever seen filmed and easily the best acted. You will find "Secrets” with Norma Talmadge at the Circle this week. This theater is celebrating Its eighth anniversary. Constantine Bakaleinikoff and the Circle Theater Symphony Orchestra i have been in vacation for several months. They remake their appearance this week in a splendid program. This director and orchestra are welcomed hack. The Circle is presenting a splendid j ly satisfying bill this week. -I- I- -ITARKINGTOX’S BEST IS IN SECOND MEEK “Monsieur Beaucaire,” Booth Tarkington's charming romance of old France, is in its second week at the Ohio.

The some and charmentino, the cast includes Behe many other well- I known screen players.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“A Woman Who Sinned.” She was trapped into her first mistep under melodramatic conditions —millionaire, yatch and the like. Somehow or other I can’t think of a minister’s wife sipping wine on a millionaire’s yatch with nobody present but the servants and the millionaire sheik After the minister’s home is broken up, Mrs. Hillburn lives for revenge. She becomes the painted thing. She gets her revenge and finds peace and salvation when her own neglected son beccmes an evangelist and converts his own mother. Story is too melodramatic to be convincing. It is just two old fashioned. The cast is as follows: George Ransdell Morgan Wallace Mrs. Rarsdell Irene Rich Rev. Hillburn Lucien Littlefield Mrs. Hillburn Mae Busch Her son, as a boy Dickey Brandon Her son, grown Rex Lease Mitzi Ethel Tears Burlesque Queen Cissy Fitzgerald Tuttu Hank Mann Grabini Snitz Edwards Snoops Hugh Fay A Sailor Bobby Mack Apache Dancers Carlos and Jeanette “A Woman Who Siuned” is on view all week at the Apollo.

DEATHS IN GOAL MINES STEADILY MOUNTUPWARD Open-Type Electrical Equipment Presents Deadly Menace, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 New York Ave. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Deaths In coal mines of the United States are increasing, according to figures of the Federal Bureau of Mines. In the first six months of 1924, 1,302 men were killed in coal mine accidents. The death rate was 4.76 men per million tons of coal mined. In the first six months of 1923, the death rate was 3.91 men per million tons. Explosions of gas and coal dust continue to be the leading causes. But many of these explosions are directly due to carelessness, the Bureau of Mines declares. Electrical Equipment Faulty "The use of open-type electrical equipment which fails to safeguard against transmission o£ sparks and flame to dusty and gaseous atmosphere is a real menace to the elec-

Park. As many times as they like they can ride for “a penny a whack” or. everything that moves at the park. Managers Coulter and Goodman have made preparations for 35,000, a crowd heretofore unsurpassed. They had a lot of fun last year on the same offer, “every ride a penny,” but this year the added attractions at the park and the Improvements generally will attract as never liefore .they feel. Too much rain "would postpone the “Penny L>ay“ until Friday, said Coulter. And one new ruling goes into effect this year, that is that after you ride you must get off and take your place in the line instead of Just riding and riding, 'till you can't ride any more. That's fair enough. BERMUDA TRIPS IDE POSSIBLE

If anything. more delightful in the summer than during the winter —a haven when the mainland is sweltering. But Bermuda with its soft winds and blue skies and millions of flowers does not have to be made sweeter by description. Until special tours arranged by the Union Trust Company's expert ‘ arranger,’’ Rich ard A. Kurtz, few Indianapolis folks realized the exquisite beauty of the place. Now on the palatial steamships. “Ft. St. George" and “Ft.

trical miner,” says a report on the subject just made by the bureau. Three disasters of the past six months are cited, one in West Virginia, one in Pennsylvania, and one in Utah, all supposed to have been caused by electrical apparatus. “All three disasters would seem to have been avoidable :'f proper equipment had been used,” the report says. Approved Machinery Okelied The Bureau of Mines tests all machines and apparatus for use in mines to determine whether or not it is safe for use in explosive mine atmospheres. No disasters have been caused from any of the equipment so approved, the bureau claims. However, there is no means by which mine owners can be forced to use only approved apparatus, except by State laws. Bituminous mines are more dangerous than anthracite. Os the 1,302 killed this year, 1,049 lost their iives in bituminous mines. Accidents due to falling of roof and coal, haulage, and explosives are decreasing in number. Apparently Alaska mines are safer than those of this district. There have been no fatal accidents there in 1924,* although four men were injured. During this period, 40,971 tons of coal have been mined. Drought in West Drought has brought a lack of good feed on the ranges of the western States, especially those west of the Rockie. Ranges showed the effects of lack of rain as far east as the western third of Kansas and Oklahoma.
