In it ML3 Talmadije haa two leading men, Courtney Footo and Harrison Forde. "The Passion Flower" was a hit on liroidway last reason, with Nance O'Neill rlayln the part of Ralmunday, the mother. In the reen version, however, Norma Talmade playa tho daughter. 'The .Paeion I-lower" is a -jrlppinff and colorful story of Castillan peasant life, a tragic and romantic tale of love. Jealousy and hatred. In it Norma T.ilmadffe Is said to have been given a wonderful opportunity to display her emtional and histrionic powers. Snooky, tho humanzee, in "A Trayful of Trouble," is tho latest release of the Iklucational films, and Is without question of doubt ono of tho cleverest of comedies yet shown at the Blackfltone. "The Sons of the Soul," in which Vivian Martin Js starred, and which Is her first production by Meamore Kendal and Robert W. Chambers, have a unique dltlrction of being the first motion picture to be titled by Mr. Chambers. The movies have discovered Florida and the beautiful photographic effects which can bo obtained through the extraordinary southern light. "The Song of the Sour is taken from the story by William J. Iyckke, "Old World Romance," Vivian Martin's acting as the girl who laid the most precious of God's gifts on the altar of her love Is the most remarkable feature of "The Song rf the Soul." Fritz Llebler. who plays opposite Vivian Martin, and who recently appeared in South Bend on the legitimate stage in a Shakespearean role, plays an important part in this production.

OLTVKIt. The power of the screen to bring the familiar aspects of native drama before modern audiences in finely illustrated in the Maurice Tourneur production of "The County Fair." which opened a week's engagement at the Oliver theater yesterday. As is quite well known, this production is founded upon the famous rural racing drama of the same title which Nell Burges3 made an institution on the speaking stage. On tho stage there were hints and Incidents which set off the simple lives and methods of a typical New England farm community, btu In the picture version it is all presented with a realism that embraces every aspect of the play's suggested, possibilities. Tho escenes showing the county fair are exact duplications of this American institution. Wesley Barry chases the greased piy and climbs the slippery pole and the others enter into the sports and excitements, and popcorn venders and lemonade makers are as real as If you hear

j the shrill cries of the barkers boost- , ing their ware. I And then comes the climax when j the thoroughbreds prance to the

starting post and whirl oif to the best hörst rar that was ever pictured on the 4-crcon. with Cold Molasses winning the purse that saves

J the old farm for Aunt Abigail. ; Tourneur has pictured all the events 'faithfully and set the action against Lin attractive background. It is one i of those simple, appealing stories ; that never falls to enlist the svmj pathy and interest of all. David Butler and Helen Jerome Eddy play I the leading characters ! oniMir.rM Manager . Scharnberg of the Orpheum. who has succeeded In Installing some life into recent Orpheum programs, comes across in ' fine .tyle this week with an all around good bill which, if one Is to ju.lcro by spontaneous applause. is

about as good as can be procured

for a popular priced house. Ole 0!tson and Chick Johnsen head

, the bill with an original and clever act. It had to bo good when one

ders the five others on the pro

not counting the Kinos or

Bathe. Thes two lads, figuratively

speaking, tore the bouse down. Good natured foolishness in which members of two other acts joined them earned for them almost a dozen curtain calls a rare thing at the Or-

! pheum. Even Spikes Connell. the i property man. helped put the act over. Big timers, both of them, i The Black and "White revue. a modern minstrel fhow in miniature. ' also won popular approval. It feaj tured Mis.s Neilson. who with Miss ! Tiernan. sung a duet and later in i the act gave a clever toe dance. Two I black-faced comedians, four goodI looking girls and an interlocutor make up the act. The quartet numi her sung by the girls is immense. Jack Clifford, character comedian, and "Fid" Johnson, the latter an ex

cellent violinist, find favor with their funny line and droll mannerisms. They possess Just that quality that helps to make a first class bill. Ferguson and Sunderland, a slng-

ling and dancing team, start the proKram. Mr. Ferguson L a clever j eccentric dancer and is ably assisted ; by Miss Sunderland. They put the ! tudience in good humor, j Frcar, Baggett and Frear get their

stuff over big with a nonseical Juggling act, in which straw hat are brcusht into play Tluir act la

timely In that It has a baseball diamond as a stage setting. Goslar and Euby offer artistic bits of vaudeville, too dancing and some orlglna' songs. Mr. Goslar's number ridiculing the "blue law" advocates won instant favor. The bill as a whole is excellent.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER

A post-graduate ingenue applied to Harry B. Harris, the director, for a part in "What Can You Expect?" Gladys Walton's forthcoming r induction. To further her cause she said kittenishly: "Another director Just told mo that I suggested a poem to him." "WVus It 'Anabelle Lee?' " asked Harris. "How does that start?' eagerly asked the antedeluvian infantcss. "Many and many yeara ago," began the Universal director, as the maiden stalked away.

A director friend of Xorman Dawn, who is producing "My Iidy of the Island," starring Edith Roberts, was passing his opinion of th3 photodrama, which was taken from a recent magazine fltory by Beatrice Grlmshaw. "It's a big story. Xorman, and will hold the attention of the audience, but It's not plausible. They don't have any more mutlneering crews on the Pacific so close to the American shore." A day or two later tho newspapers carried a sensational story of a mutiny aboard a coastwiso steamer not many miles off the shore of Lower California.

TALKING MOVIES ARK HEARD .ViYEIT YORK

At !ast the talking movies are a reality. A few years ago when they first tried them out, they worked pretty badly, like all new things. But Wendell McMahalel and Orlando E. Kellum seem to have perfected the mechanism, at last, so that they absolutely synchronise the words and pictures. The people move about the Fcrem and do actually talk. There isn't a jarring whir of the ordinary talking machine and there isn't a pause In between the motion of the Hp and yound suposed to come from them. The achievement is really quite wonderful. They will be introduced in pictures shown in New York's Town Hall this summer.
