"The only trouble with a picture like "The Man Without a Country" la that It makes your actors too patriotic if such a statement can be made, said patriotic Director Ernest C. Warde, who produced the Thanhouser timely feature, "The Man Without a Country," which Jewel Productions. Inc., brings into the Lyric Theatre on Saturday. .- ' ' v . ' "It was necessary at times to work nights and Sundays to get through with certain characters who had determined to bo real heroes. I applaivd their patriotism, but I wished then they had waited to enlist until the picture was completed," said Mr. Warde. . "For example, there's George Mario. In the photoplay he is a patriotic young American. In real life he's the same. George is a wonderful auto driver, and h.e goes to France in a few days to drive an army machine. Perry Horton Is a gallant naval officer in the picture. He's up at Madison Uarracks. Sackett's Harbor, now with the Second New York Field Artillery. Joe Arken was a soldier in the courtmartial scene. He's a sergeant in the regular army, and has a good chance tor a commission. Hope he lands It."

"I any man safe from a marriageable lady?" asks the Washington Theatre, at. which the new William Fox production, "Alll For a Husband," opens up a two days' run Monday. According to the story of the picture, no man is, when the lady has the beauty and charm of Virginia Pearson. As a matter of fact, almost any man would

The autocrat at the breakfast table and the baby who appears in "The Man Hater," the Tringle play featuring Winifred Allen, which will be shown at the Murray theatre Sunday, may be related. This particular infant, although an American, does not believe in democracy, at least not where ice cream is concerned. One scene presents juvenile party with the two-year-old tyrant presiding. He was placed on the floor before a large plate of chocolate ice cream, and immediately, without any word from the director, commenced to act his part with a zest. But suddenly, also without heed for the director, the young actor made scornful gestures, pushed the piste aside and started to weep copiously, as though the scene was tragic. Director Parker rushed to his young player and inquired the trouble. All the response he could get came in great sobs, "wite-wite-wite." Finally, a mother, who had made a special study of baby language, discovered that serious objection was being

raised to the chocolate color of the j ice cream. So an automobile was rushed to the village near the studio to j

obtain vanilla ice, wnue tne players waited patiently, the director soliloquized on the temperamental fits of screen stars, and the baby chortled

nounclng the best photoplay Douglas j Fairbanks has yet appeared in, ro-j leased by Artcral't, which will be pre-1 sented Wednesday and Thursday at ; the Washington. The picture is based j

upon original ideas of Fairbanks, which accounts for the rather odd title. "Reaching For the Moon." v Douglas' is somewhat of a philosopher, and has always contended that if a man can make good in a small way he can develop himself to succeed in a bigger venturo; that the attainment of happiness in really success, and that one should take advan

tage of exsting opportunities instead I

of "reaching for tne moon. Anita Loos and John Emerson prepared this philosophical story, dealing with the dreamer who envies the big man. The co authors have a unique twist at the end of the stry. which 1? a surprising finale, and would spoil the pleasure of those seeing the film if told in advance. Mother love is the theme employed in the coming Select production, "The Secret of the Storm Country," In which Joseph M. Schenck is presenting Norma Taluiadge. Miss Talmadge plays the role of a little squatter girl, to whom love and marriage come in secret ways, andher interpretation of thr character is a fine bit of emotional work. -.N Tessibel Skinner, daughter of Orn Skinner who is serving a life sentence in the penitentiary, is the adored favorite of the squatter settlement on the shores of Lake Cayuga. She listens

to their woes, fights their battles and I binds up their wounds. Her cup of i

happiness is overfilled by the devotion of Frederick Graves, a young divinity

and squirmed about in ecstatic contemplation of "wite" ice cream. In the making of the Triangle play, "The Iamb," the director was very grateful that the star was Douglas Fairbanks, rather than some other actor, particularly wherein a band of Yaqui Indians was employed. The Indians were necessitated by the story and were expected to attack Fairbanks while he defended himself with a machine gun. Now In the picture realm, it is a well known fact that Indians when employed as actors will do precisely what they are told and nothing more or less. In order to get the necessary realism, the director told the Indians to attack Fairbanks and do their best to down him. For several minutes there was one of the liveliest scrimmages that was ever seen on the studio lot. The star was really very nearly killed, and in self defense he nearly killed several of his opponents. He actually and literally won the battle, independently of the machine gunvor any other aids. Consequently, the person who lets this part of the action of "The Lamb" at the Murray theatre today carry him away completely has a. splendid alibi. It is an authentic record of a genuine fight.

GERMAN AGENTS HAMPER DRIVE

NEW YORK, Dec. 22. Manager of tha American Red Cro6s membership campaign announced' today' that the federal department of Justice had been asked to investigate reports of proGerman efforts to Interfere with tha drive to obtain 500,000 members ia this city. Impersonation of Red Cross officials seems to be the favorite method of the pro-German agents, according to Frank Presbrey, publicity director of the campaign. Several times during the week these men have called on the telephone the headquarters of the four Minute Men. which has been providing 6peakers for the campaign, and posing as Red Cross officials, have said the help of the Four Minute Men was not needed as other arrangements had been made.

Lupine and the black box were gone. During the nights that followed, the squaw and the girl often saw, from the lift above, the cunning Lupine working over a loose stone in the fireplace, his face distorted with fiendish delight as he fondled the black box. Whatever treasure it contained, surely its lock secured nothing of good. "Wild Sumac" tells the whole thrilling story in the Triangle play by that name at the Murrette theatre on Wednesday and Thursday.
