THE WINDING STAIR." How far is a man justified in sacrificing honor, his eareer, his good name, for the sake of love? It is probable that no satisfactory answer no universal answer, that is ever will be found to questions of that fort. Kor, after all, evtry man and woman will have individual opinions on' the subject, often dictated by personal ex HTiei)ce or predicated on tbe degree to hicb he or she bas surrendered to tbe wiles of Cupid. Yet tbe questions strike deep at the heart of our human relations, for tbey deal with tbe most intimate and sacred relations between man and woman. If love and honor go hand in band, everything is serene but, when love finds lienor in conflict with it Well, that is the crisis that confronts the hero in "The Winding Stair," tbe William JFox production of the A. E.

Lloyd 'Hughes plays opposite the star. This player is exceedingly popular, es pecially among the fair fans. It ia recalled that he was recently designated by a prominent French sculptor as "the most typical and handsomest American lad." Also among the featured players are George K.

Arthur, who contributes an eccentric Juvenile characterization in "Irene," and Charlfe Murray, a character comedian who has long been held in highest esteem by movie lovers. Completing the cast are Kate Price, the able comedienne; Era Novak, looking prettier than ever on her return to the screen after a brief Lawrence Wheat, and Edward Earle. Also there are Maryon Aye, famed beauty Ida Darling, pioneer "grande dame" of the screen Bess Flowers, a recruit from Shakespearean drama Ly dla Yeamant Titns, too well known to need a word of and Cora Macey, who in "Irene" makes her screen debut after a notable career on tbe stage.

While enjoying tbe triple pleasure of wine, woman and song, the great war breaks out and both are drawn into it. This is the trend of New Commandment," the Robert Kane production. It. is a 'screen adaptation of Colonel Frederick Palmer'a celebrated novel, "Invisible Wounds," made by Sada Cow an and Howard Iliggin. A mighty box office cast headed by Blanche Sweet, Ben Lyon, George Coop er, Pedro De Cordova, Dorothy Cum mings, Effie Shannon, Diana Kane and many others support Kane's initial production under his own banner.

Howard Iliggin directed "The New story with thrilling situations that the movie' fan will never forget. Laughs, there are a plenty. Do not miss "The New Commandment." "MY OWN PAL" Tom Mix, western ace, bas had many narrow escapes from serious injury during his strenuous years before the camera but his "closest call," experienced during tbe filming of "My OwnTal," Fox Films version of Gerald Beaumont's short story "The Gallant Guardsman," had nothing to do with Tony and other famous horses used in Mix productions. This time is was a motorcycle that "bucked." In the Beaumont story, Mhx had to demonstrate to beautiful Olive Borden that be could make a dauntless police man. But determined nature and a faulty motorcycle are separate entities as the Mix cameraman learned when the famous Tjexns cowboy came skidding through Elysian Park at a breakneck pace.

Something had gone wrong with the throttle and this motorcycle had no brakes. Hence, when Dan Clark and bis assistant saw the renowned bronco buster leading straight for the cosily cameras, their first impulse was to seize the tripods and run forjbeir lives. But Mix wss equal to the occasion. "Don't rua!" he yelled, "If I can't stop it I'll miss tbe cameras Shoot the scene The skin of a gorilla is black, while that of a chimpantee is light colored. 1 P'U '4 Am pjr "Panics, Hard' Times, Lack Prosperity, an' Sudden Adversity, Past an Present," by Laurel Kite, is a notable contribution th' current issue o' Th' Weekly Sliphorn.

Only recently sglrl who appeared Jn numerous productions during to past few years suddenly became insane. An investigation disclosed she was the, sols support of an invalid mother and a young sister.

But those. in the theater audience who had watched her dancing and listened to ner singing and tne managers who bad paid fear $50 a week about thirty times a year never would have guessed the trouble she was having as head of a family. Then there is the story of a young Chorus mother. She had to work. A kind hearted manager of a company going on tour overlooked rules and regu so the baby accompanied its dancingxjnotber from coast to coast and back iratn.

Part time nurses are hard to pick up when a snow Is making one night stops. The baby speat most of tns time ia theaters with tbe mother. It ia nothinc unusual for a chorus girl to bays dependents, said Mrs. Dorothy' Bryant, secretary of the Chorus Equity! Association, and tbe tasks tbey under take in efforts to earn money are as ver sstffe ss tbe characters they perform. With tbe sverage salary and period of employment at 150 aad thirty weeks a year respectively, tbe girls are compelled to do other work.

Another ia the modern chorus girl must be well dressed as a part ef. bet business reqfuiremvnts. The burlesque show girl and chorus men ar better savers. They' are more accustomed to hard times and know how to prepare for tbe lean Chorus girls and men usually pay back funds losned them by tbe sisociatioa. During tbe recent crsse of managers for Russians, many of tbe girls changed their names.

The Smiths became Rmlts kys and tbe Browps evolved ioto Brun acrcys; oi gins come nere prom oin er cities expecting to find employment i on the stage. A surprisingly large number neither is beautiful nor equipped in any way for the Between and 8,000" paid up members now ar on tbe Equity's roll, which contains a total of 7,000 names. Many chorus girls marry. Those who marry their profession usually remain happily married. Thoisa who marry within escape the divorce court.
