MINDING THE BABY AT THE MURRAY

William H. Thompson, the "dean of the American stage," does not impress one as being the sort of man who is perfectly at home with squawking infants and the divers articles of apparel that go with them. Yet he offered evidence in contradiction to this impression recently when he was working at Inceville in a Triangle play under the supervisi6n of Thomas H. Ince. Mr. Thompson was enacting some scenes for "The Eye of the Night," at the Murray Sunday, a heart interest drama of a sea coast town in England, when the occasion on which he demonstrated his paternal accomplishments arose.

LIGHT AT DUSK AT WASHINGTON Advocates of an actual literature of the screen as preferable to the photoplay reproduction of novels and stage plays will note with approval that the Lubin company has turned into an imposing screen feature, Anthony P. Kelly's original scenario, "The Light at Dusk." at the Washington next Thursday and Friday. The story, which describes the evolution of a Russian peasant into an American citizen of wealth and influence, was written for photoplay production. On acquiring it, however, the Lubin company was in immediate receipt of offers from, several publishing firms for the right of issue in novel form in advance of the screen production. It was contended by the publishers that the novel would increase the value of the screen version of "The Light at Dusk." It is the belief of the Lubin company that there is much to be said on the other side.

BREACH OF FAITH BASIS OF FILM

To a sincere and straight-forward person there is nothing which is mare shocking and which arouses more righteous ' indignation than to have one's faith betrayed. If the betrayal be the act of one who is loved, then the offense passeth all understanding. It is upon this great basic truth that the powerful photoplay, "The. Feud Girl," is founded, in which the Famous Players Film company is starring Hazel Dawn on the Paramount program. It will be the featured attraction at the Murrette Wednesday. When these pioneer producers determined to stage this big story of the feud country it was at once decided that Miss Dawn and her supporting cast should be sent to the mountains to obtain the propers atmosphere for the settings.
