-SCEN E TH E BARN STORM ERS ?

THURSDAY. The many readers who have followed the writings of Augusta Evans Wilson will be delighted to learn that this writer has entered the moving picture field at last. Admirers of her work will not be surprised to learn that her drama has been released as one of the Mutual Master-pictures, a series which already includes dramas by Richard Harding Davis, Thomas Nelson Page, the American ambassador to Italy, and Cyrus Townsend Brady Miss Wilson's drama is called "Wod's Witness" and is divided into four parts. ' f

"If people realized the hardships encountered by the average player there would be mighty few stagestruck Individuals." This was the statement recently made by a man who i3 regarded as one of the foremost stars upon tbe legitimate stage. In the years this player has been an actor he has known what it meant to be without an engagement without a single one in prospect and with not a cent in his pocket. He also knew what it was to make one night stands, traveling with a company each member of which realized that the next stand might be their last. Consequently when this player was piven the opportunity to see Kalem's four act "Broadway Favorites" feature, "The Barnstormers," he frankly declared that it would cause more than one person who believes his or her future to lie on the stage to be content with their present humble lot. As a matter of fact "The Barnstormers" is virtually a personally conducted tour over a tank route. The plioto play patron accompanies a musical comedy company and thus learns at first hand of the discomforts and hardships which are the average actor's lot. Probably no other photo p:ay has ever torn away the glamor and romance surrounding the stage with so ruthless a hand.

Miss Myrtle Tannehill, a star of the legitimate stage who has won fame in this country and abroad, enacts the principal role in this "Broadway Favorites" feature. Miss Tannehill appears as Nell Lavelle, a soubrette, who, Imagining herself in love with the worthless, good looking leading man, turns her back upon the boy who really loves her. Adam, the proprietor of a country hotel, is this boy's father. Ignorant of the affair between his son and Nell, Adam meets Nell in the city and falls in love with her. Mason, the leading man, and Eppstern, the manager of the troupe, become aware of the old mans love. Learning that he is wealthy, they concoct a plot whereby Adam becomes the "angel," thus saving thf show from financial rocks. Nell is ignorant of this fact, believing that the old man accompanies the troupe because of his affection for her. Later her eyes are opened, and shs learns of the despicable manner in which Adam is being robbed. The?: comes the discovery that ho is lioi suitor's father. This comes after sh has saved Adam from blackmail at the hands of the leading man and the manager. The story, of unusual henrl interest, is sure to delight every photc play patron fortunate enough to set "The Barnstormers."

the concluding chapters of the serial will startle the moving picture world. Those who have seen "The Campbells Are Coming" now realize that Francis Ford is without a peer in his handling of battle scenes.

Nat Goodwin in "Business Is Business" Nat C. Goodwin, veteran of the speaking stage and America's foremost character actor, of whom it has been said that he has spread more of the gospel of cheerful genius through mournful humanity than any of hia peers, is featured by the Universal in "Business Is Business," a six-act tragedy adapted to the screen by F. McGrew Willis from the famous old French play by Octave Mirabeau. Mr. Goodwin considers it the finest exposition of his art, and upon its completion said: "The actor's art, since the coming of moving pictures, need not die with him. I am willing to permit posterity to judge of my place on the American stage by "Business Is Business.' It is the best thing I have ever done. I put my heart and soul and the training of a lifetime into it. If it fails, then I am a failure as an actor."
