Wilbur 30 married to Cecile Stanton Earle Williams 36 not married Kathlyn Williams 28 married to Eyton Clara Kimball Young 24 married to James Toung Thus it will be seen that as a general rule the hero and heroine are not married to each other And you can never tell whether an actress Is really in love or only registering The dialogue of The Great Lover offers numerous examples of genuine wit and real philosophy Here for example is a comment on the great American cocktail spoken by Leo Dit nchsteln in the role of Jean Paurel the singer Tour ladies elles ent ravlssantes but the cocktails they are like your nation a very funny mixture Tou put in bitters to make it hot ice to make it cold whiskey to make it strong water to make it weak lemon to make it sour sugar to make it sweet then jou say Here Is to you and you drink him yourself As a contrast to the above lines It may be well to scrutinize the following dialogue in which the great lover tells how he experienced for the first time the emotion of true love and laments his unworthiness But cherie what I can It is life Tet as long as I have you and we are together I am indeed a lucky man We take the first steamer to Italy and go to my villa at Como which is the Garden of Eden without any snake to poison ones mind We will marry and you will help me to forget Ah I want you cherie you do not know how much Dear one I am jealous of each hour that keeps you out of my arms Can you not understand the hunger that eats out my soul for you Sometimes I think le bon Dieu punishe me because I am not always a good man Yes what comes to me now is the tragedy of the man who has never denied himself anything One day comes the one woman he can really loe and then he have nothing new to give her If only a boy could know when first he grew to be aman that the day will come when he would give his soul to have a clean heart again I want new speech for you new love words new caresses I want my arms to hold you differently I long to give you something that has not been desecrated by the touch of other women But kisses are kisses whether you mean them or not Oh cherie ever since Tve loved you I realized what a tragedy that Is Thus a lifetimes history Is epitomized In a few words Warner Oland who is pictured in the role of Baron Hurokl the Japanese diplomat in Patria the film serial now on exhibition at Keiths is a master of the art of make up A majority of theatergoers who have seen the first episodes of the serial are persuaded that Oland In spite of his name is a Japanese When he appeared as the chief of the secret service in The Yel low Ticket he was mistaken for a Theatrical News and Gossip Margaret Anglln ha followed the unsllent majority into the silent drama Particulars are lacking Francis Wilson former musical comedy star was married In St Louis last Thursday to Miss Edna Bruns of St Charles Mo The bride was Mr Wilsons leading woman In When Knights Were Bold and other plays Barrie as a dreamer Barrle as a novelist Barrie as a master of whimsy and Barrie as the king of make believe as he has been styled recently are some ot the attributes which have been accorded to the author of The Little Minister Quality Street What Every Woman Knows and Peter about his nationality are tributes to the actors skill As a matter of fact he was born In Umea Sweden almost at the top of the world as he expresses It When he was 10 years old he was brought to America by his parents A great ambition lurked In his mind He aspired to become an opera singer but his dream of picking up gold in the streets of New York was quickly dispelled Instead of receiving the plaudits from the Horseshoe Circle at the Metropolitan he was riding around the ring at Madison Square Garden in com pany with Frank Kramer Eddie Ball Lloyd McFarlane Harry Elks and other famous professional bicycle riders of the day But all the time he was humming the pathetic Italian aria Addla from Traviata and his dream of operatic life continued Finally tired of bicycle riding he went to Boston landing there with 9 in his pocket S3 of which he spent for a vocal lesson For months he had a difficult time obtaining enough to eat but finally got a position as a super in the production of Hall Calnes The Christian which was to have its premiere in Boston From among the supers the stage manager wanted a young man who could sing Gounods Jesus of Nazareth Oland jumped at the opportunity and because he could do the solo he was granted the munificent sum of 18 a week His success from this time was rapid His first picture experience was gained in support of Theda Bara and he soon became her leading man His work attracted attention and he was chosen for the villain in Patria A GUIDE FOR THE PLAYGOER CONTINUED

the Scotch dramatist been spoken of as Barrie the prophet Yet in one scene of the new play Sir James in a whimsical mood as is his fashion has distinctly established his claim to a prophetic soul The scene is a ballroom the dream of a cockney child who being lonely and half starved derives her pleasure in life in imagining that she is Cinderella In a fevered sleep she dreams that she is at a great ball a cockneys Idea of a ball for she can only Imagine things in glorified terms of her dally experiences The king and queen of the ball are garbed like the king and aueen the child has seen nictured on playing cards and they speak in cock I ney accents One of the most striking characters at this ball is Lord Times the embodiment in human form of the English dally to whom the girl has often heard her employer speak of writing about all conceivable things Lord Times has only a few words to say but he is the most powerful figure at court even daring to declare to the king Less talk when his majesty begins an harangue from the throne Later on when prince queen and courtiers are protesting at Cinderellas request for a certain Important test for goodness Lord Times steps forward and sternly announces well within his right as the epitome of modern publicity It must be done These lines and situations seemed but whimsical travesty on the part of the dramatist when the play was first produced In London a yeaT ago but during the very week that gave us the American premiere of the fancy as Barrie calls the new piece the North cllffe press of England of which the Times is the foremost representative had succeeded in saying to the government less talk and had accomplished Its aim of overthrowing the Asquith ministry followed by the elevation of the Northcliffe champion David Lloyd George to the premiership and head of the war council In other words Lord Times mandate in Barries A Kiss for Cinderella had been carried out In real life Two members of the original

The custom of wearing this charm dates rrom tne eariy oman uum Royal potentates and even popes have been known to wear them while the average Italian would rather part with his right eye than be deprived of his calamlta In The Great Lover Leo Ditrichstein as Jean Paurel Is reluctantly persuaded to give his little charm to Ethel Warren as a proof of his love From the Instant he places It about her neck bad luck breaks in upon him The calamlta Is usually a small flat disk shaped bag containing seven substances Mr Dltrlchsteln as Jean Pauvel describes the contents of the one used In The Great
