Jackman's next venture. It will be made In the remote regions of Colorado, near Buena Vista and at; the head of the Royal Gorge.

The story will be called "Rex. King; of the Wild Horses," and was written by Jarkmsn in collaboration; with Hal Conklin. It was only after much difficulty that two wild stallions, to be fea-j tured in the story, were captured In Arizona. They belong to the roaming herds of wild horses which the government in threatening to destroy, due to the fact that they graze on the finest grazing lands In the country, eating the fodder that the tame herds should con-aume according to the notions of the tame herds' owners. Beside the two stallions, wild herds of horses will be a feature of tho picture.

Jackman expects to spend three months In the making of his picture. 'He leaves today for the wilds, accompanied by his technical staff. The human actors have not yet been selected to appear In the picture, but the casting of these will take place as 6oon as the director is all set In camp at Buena Vista. Virginia, VaUI to Travel Just as soon as ever Virginia Valll completes her work In Ho-bart Henley's production of "A Lady of Quality," for Universal, she Is going to take a trip to Chicago. That may sound like a wild plan, considering the time of year, but Miss Valll's mother lives there, and the actress considers this compensation enough for any sort of weather she may encounter.

Miss alh a husband, Demorefit Lamsen, isn't going east, however. He is to remain in the West attending to his own work of assisting Nat Ross in directing a Universal special, and In seeing to it that his wife's pet cat doesn't cat up her pet canary. Will Film Big Scenes Speaking of "A Lady of Quality," 800 extras will tomorrow fall under the direction of Hobart Henley, when he makes the scenes showing Queen Anne, played by Aileen Manning, reviewing the return of the Duke of and his troops from the battle of Blenheim. This will be one of the most picturesque scenes of the feature. Aileen Manning, as Queen Anne, will wear two different costumes during the making cf the double sequence of scenes, the cost of which costumes aggregate more than $1000.

They are made of rich brocades and races, together with antique Jewelry of great value. Theda Bara May Play It It is a good deal more than Just possible that Theda Bara may play the leading feminine role In Elinor Glyn's "Three Weeks." when Goldwyn films that play. It Is said that Mrs. Glyn herself Is strongly in favor of Miss Bara for the part. Another strong contender for the role Is Eileen Prlngle, lately signed with Goldwyn.

Trtxle Frlganza. Here Trixie Frlgansa has arrived in the city, and is visiting with her fitter, Bessie Friganza, during a short vacation, before going on at the Orpheum late in July, she will also appear with her pie-! ture, "Tish." from Roberts Klnehart's story, at the Hlllstreet. feo 2nd Week of America's Greatest LJvins SonebirrJ I I I 1 i 1 1 Ctruu'i luKflHT it tlx Mtretltu Off CiMr THE tiOMIS TWTV-i MAMVK AVD VTRfJIMA lied or at least sufficiently numbed probably not to know whether' Avery llopwood, tho author, was' absolutely the most Immoral writ-X er for the American stage, or still possessed of tils virtue. I hops he i Is. After seeing "Getting Gertie's Garter I -could believe aloioat any-; thing.

But I hope none Um less. It Isn't that anything really bad happens, you' know, It just sounds that way. For three you're kept wondering. You're' never quits sure but that somebody may really bo Involved in a terrible scrape, but you're never, really in doubt either that they aren't, I won't tell you the plot, though I mlghtv If you want to see the play some of the fun might bo spoiled, and If you don't you might accuse me of Indulging in a Bmut-ty conversation. All that I need say is that one of the scenes and the principal one at that la laid In a barn, and then, if you can think of all tho jokes you've ever heard about barns and not the parlor variety, either you can guets.i something of what happens.

"Getting Gertie's Garter" just simply goes to prove how far a smart playwright may actually go in a play without mentioning an imposaJbly nasty innuendo. Hop-wood has devised about 3568423 ways, of doing this altogether during his lifetime, and he uses at least 60 per cent of this knowledge during the actual unfoldmont of hia present effort. A few episodes come near being so risque thut you wonder how they could possibly be put on the stage, but nt least none of them are so shocking that you can't live through tho whole production if you can stand the first half You are sorry, of course, to see such an excellent actresa as Grace Carlyle the center of such an extravaganza of suggestlvcness, but at the same time she, plays her role Shi Is an interesting-looking woman and a fascinating actresjj. The most delightful character, perhaps. In this type of play is furnished by MJas Frano Dale as the unsophisticated wife bent on being compromised.

The comedy hit is William Burress as Allen, the butler, when he does not overdo his part. He adds mirth to every situation he Is in. Harry Hayden is alsothoroughly amusing, while Agnes Sanford Is piquant. Herbert Hayes plays a straight lead whatever that may mean In this play, and Miss Lela Bliss and Robert Glenn White and Robert Fellows are also In the cast. The tempo of the performance still needs speeding.

But then "Getting Gertie's Garter" is really quite fast enough. LA ROCQUE SIGNS LASKY CONTRACT Tct another, leading man has been ndded to tho Jmt- of players at the Famous Players-Lasky studios, with the signing of Rod La Rocquo on a long-term contract. Mr. La Rocque is playing in Cecil B. De Mille's "The Ten Commandments." the modern story, and has been so favorably considered even though he has made naught but tests as yet that the Paramount officials decided to engage him.

In the theater almost continuously since he was 7 years old. La Rocque has recently alternated between the stage and screen; He played in the spoken drama in "Thy Name is Woman," in which was seen with Mary Nash locally, and in "Nice People." His recent film features include "Slim Shoulders." "Notoriety" and "Jazz-mania." Mr. De Mille and Jenso L. La sky both entertain high hope ror nis ruture. Lead In Piigriniag Play" The interpreter cf the role of the Christ in "The Pilgrimage Play" has been selected.

Herbert B. Grimwood will assume the part, owing to the fact that Henry Herbert could not return for' the season. Mr. Grimwood Is know-n here from previous associations professionally. He was formerly a member of the Benson Players In England and last season supported David Warfield in "The Merchant of Venice." Grimwood Is noted as an actor, being possessed among other things of that Important require, men for the Christ role an excellent voice, it Is said.

In Clpatr' and LIES" First Program of Convention Given by Allen The first of the three-day series of organ recitals which are being given as part of the first Paclfc Coast Organists'- Convention at Bovard Auditorium and the First Presbyterian Church, was- given yesterday afternoon by Warren D. Allen. The organist, who is head of the Music Department of Stanford University, presented a program that was an evidence of organ mastery in every way. Rhythmic exactness marked the first number, Purcell "Trumpet Tune and Air." In the lacy Mozart number he wisely adhered to the style of Mozart rather than giving an Interpretation that followed the heavier traditions of organ playing.

The Schumann "Sketch" shows that we have as yet only begun to hear the beauties of Schumann. His organ compositions, though few in number, are too seldom heard. The greatest organ masterpiece by Saint-Saens, "Fantasie in Flat" was played. The "Borree In Major," by the San Francisco organist. Wallace Pabin, proved interesting.

Barie's "Toccata" was technically brilliant. Unusual In registration harmonic and melpdic content, the "Sketch of the Steppes." by Borodin, arranged by Mr. Allen, was one of the finest numbers for this instrument presented to a Loa Angeles audience In rnsny a day. Again he scored something new In Hyril Jenkins's "Dawn." His last group consisted of three numbers by Edward Khlppen Barnes, a scherzo, a chanson and the brilliant finale from his "Suite in tt T'V'V'C POPULARITY GROWS IN "BAD MAN' "The Ead Man," with Holbrook Blinn in the title role Is now in its twelfth week at the Majestic Theater. Despite the fact that the play has been presented more than 100 times the eleventh week of the production resulted In the largest patronage during any week of the run of the play.

The production stands ss one of the signal successes of the year. The story deals with a border "had man," who accldently enters an unusual situation and endeavors to do a favor for 'the man who once saved his life. i I Admiwlen Prlf IS I All, SEAfS 1 Vn O'NEIL SISTERS KIDDIE REVUE with eleven of the mnt teteoted younster In America ULMARK.

According to Leon Rice, president of the company, several stories have been submitted to him but for various reasons they have not met the company's requirements. "We want only stories that are constructed of clean situations, built on true to life situations and not Illusions, that do not take sides with any sect or creed, no se.x play, no stories dealing with gambling or other forms of vice and no story in which there Is any gunplay," declares Mr. Rice. "These are pretty strict requirements but if it Is possible to obtain this type of stories we will confine our attention to the production of them." "ROBIN HOOD" SPANS TIME AND DISTANCE It's a far cry from the days of "Robin Hood." to the wild and woolly plains of the Western United States. This is but one of the gaps that is upanned in Douglas Fairbanks in "Rnhin Hnnd mhlrVi is now showing at the Mission The- aver.

In the days of "Robin Hood," the bow and arrow and, the bow gun were the principal weapons for distance fighting. Every man had bow or a bow gun. Fairbanks in the role of "Robin Hood," is called upon to do much shooting with a bow during the production, and he hnd to have one that was trustworthy. So he sent to the Black Foot Reservation In the Dakotas and secured a bow that had been in one Black Foot tribe for a century or more. He made it Into a bowgun and used it through the picture.

ENJOYABLE COMEDY "Kiss Me at Burbank lias Some Clever Dancers The latest musical comedy presented by the Hi-Jinks orgsnlta-tion at the Burbank Theater is very enjoyable. "Kiss Me Again." is a potpourri of clever dancers, popular songR, flashy costumes, snd clever antics. Lee (Bud) Harrison heads tho cast In his droll blackface make-up. With him Georga Clark entertains for an hour or more. Others who are contributing their share toward th success of the show are Gene Darby, Orsre Hutchinson and William McKee.

Th beauty chorue lends Its charms toward the edification of Burbank audiences. The setting Is a beautiful one, modern and elaborate. George Clark staged the show7. lamMii lun-msiint trie el dumiiroui kirmoeitu. filll I 1 II Inn.
