WILLIAM GILLETTE TO PLAY SHERLOCK The best, description of William Gillette, ae Sherlock Holmes, in the play of the same tide at the Murrette Thursday and Friday, is that Mr. Gillette is Sherlock Holmes. He Is the embodiment' of all the calm and reserve that the whole world associates with the famous character. Lured to an air tight gas chamber, Holmes quietly effects his escape and locks the emperor of crooks himself in the death house which he had prepared for the detective. This is but one of the many tense situations in a picture surcharged with heart-pounding, breath catching suspense, and throughout which there runs a story of love as appealing as it is strange and fascinating.

Murrette Monday

HARRON PUTS UP BATTLE OF FISTS To look at Robert Harron, who plays in Triangle pictures with Mae Marsh, one would not think he was the sort who would be proficient with his fists mainly because he seems like an amiable chap never in need of such pI3.CtiC6 But in his new play, "The Marriage of MollyJ0," at the Murrette Wednesday in which he is featured with Mae Marsh, he has a fight with James O'Shea, who plays the villian, which looks as though Douglas Fairbanks had better look to his laurels. O'Shea is a rather heavily-built man, while Harron is slight. Yet Harron meets O'Shea's onslaught with the firmness of a rock.

STORY OF DRINK TOLD IN PICTURE

Drink, too, is the worst enemy of George Bell, son of a wealthy ranch owner of Paradise Valley. George was spoiled. His" indulgent father had granted every whim of his headstrong son, and every attempt to curtail his drinking and worthless manner of life had met with chilly rebuff. The father finally decided that the only way to make a man of his son was to turn him adrift in the world and make him achieve his own salvation. This he started to do in the distant city in which Polly had Just been left an orphan through the death of her good-for-nothing father.

John Ganzel It getting $1,300 per month for loafing but John isn't wildly happy about It. ... "I've spent every summer of my adult life In working and I can't get quite used to this 'taking It easy' idea," says John. "I'd like to handle a ball club again." John managed the Rochester Internationals until long toward the latter part of the 1915 season. Then Lea Magee quit his Job as pilot of the Brooklyn Feds and the Ward family hired John at $7300 per season. The Feds are no more but that con

tract Is. It was a personal agreement f

between Ganzel and the late Robert B. Ward and it wont expire until the end of 1917 season, meaning that John Is going to get $15,000 for doing nothing. "But I reiterate that I'd rather work than merely to drop around the Ward factory twice a month and collect the mazuma," declares John.

Scene from "Sporting Blood," at the Murrette Monday.

COLORED ACTORS ROLL THOSE BONES

Director Bertram Bracken has discovered a novel but expensive way to get realism into the movies. In one of the racing stable scenes of William Fox's "Sporting Blood," at the Murrette Monday, Mr. Bracken wanted to show the little negro boys at the barn at their usual game, "craps." He tried several times to get a scene that embodies a little life and liveliness, but he couldn't get the atmosphere. So he sent an assistant to the nearest bank for the change of a ten-dollar bill, then assembled his negro boys, divided the change among them, and told them to shoot all they wanted.

CLOSE UP FILM PROVES REAL TEST The acid test in motion picture work is the "close-up", which requires that the person photographed be as close to the camera as possible. When this is projected on the screen, the face is enlarged many hundred times its natural size; every facial blemish every line and every mark is emphasized in this ordeal. Photodramatic artists who use much make-up, or are older than they wish to appear, cannot submit to this. The only instance where an actor with false beard and nose, done so artistically as to withstand this test, is seen in the Jesse L. Lasky production of "A Gutter Magdalene" in which Fannie Ward is to star at the Murrette on Tuesday.

MISS SWEET ACTS IN STRONG FILM

The artful devices' of the fake fortune tellers and palmists are cleverly exposed in the Jesse L. Lasky production of "The Thousand Dollar Husband" in which Blanche Sweet, the beautiful and distinguished photodramatic favorite, will be seen . at the Murrette on Sunday. As the Sweedish maid of all work in a college boarding house, she suddenly becomes wealthy and is entangled In the toils of a band of palmists who attempt to bleed her of her newly acquired fortune.

BRINGS STRONG CAST

"The Flower of No Man's Land," with the charming and winsome Viola Dana in the stellar role, will be the next Metro attraction at the Murrette theatre tonight This five part wonderplay serves to introduce Miss Dana on the Metro program, where she is to be a permanent star in the future. Miss Dana is surrounded by an unusually capable cast

CHARLES RAY GETS TO SHOW STYLES
