Mats. Wei Tbors. WIVES GO WRONG" ilacEtstone Theater I GIVES HER ESTIMATE OF MOUS FILM COMEDIAN. STRUCK BY PERSONALITY Chanca Introduction to Chaplin in Berlin Leads to the Development Rapid-Fire Courtship. I When two geniuses in any one art meet there is apt to be great mutual attraction or else repulsion.

When Charlie Chaplin made his triumphal tour of Europe two summers aso and met Pola Nert In Berlin, at a dinner at the Talais H' in-roth. the two film artists found themselves mutually attracted to each othrr. Chaplin was only a name to Mile. Xeri. Her host rose suddenly and gesticulated widely as two men.

one of them small. appeared in tho doorway. The two Americats joined Mile. Negri's host at the table and she studied the American comedian of whom she had heard such wonderful things, but whose pictures had not then been shown in Berlin. "I have always found my first impressions correct." said Mile.

Negri recently and my first impression of Mr. Chaplin was no exception to the rule. I was immediately struck by his engaging personality. And when I saw his serious mein change to a smile I had that intuitive feelln? of sympathy that comes to one only when one meets someone who appeals to the heart. "It was Chaplin's first night in Berlin and he was entranced with everything.

I didn't understand half the things he said, but frarely needed to have them translated. When he saw I was puzzled he acted in pantomime and time after time I was convulsed with laughter. Feels Artistic Soul. "Mr. has th srreatct tragic as well as the greatest comic sense 1 have ever encountered in all my ears in the theater.

I felt he had the soul of a preat artist soon after I first met him. It was three months later that I first saw him in the films and confirmed my first impressions. "We danced together half a dozen times in the Palais Ileinroth. We complimented each other on the other's acting in the movies and at the time I thought I was playing a yrat joke on him as I had never seen him on the screen. As I found out later, had never seen any of my films, so the joke was really on me.

However. I must admit he was most gallant. "So many friendships that one makes at a warm dinner party are cold the next morning artists, especially live on their enthusiasms. But not my sympathetic attachment for Charlie Chaplin." They met at other luncheons and dinners. One was at a birthday lor one of Berlin's leading lawyers.

Versatile Artist. "When Chaplin learned I had attended the Imperial Ballet school in Petroirrad, he insitd that I do a Russian dance with him. And we did a burlesque, of a Russian dance as well as a classical dance together, if Charlie had not become a film actor he could have become anything he wanted to behind the footlights, for a more versatile artist never lived. I saw him do scenes from "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" that would have been a credit to the greatest tragedian, and at one of our little parties he played the violin like a virtuoso. What is even more surprising, he played with his left hand.

"When I am depressed nothing puis be In a letter humor than a Chaplin film. Perhaps that is why I am so anxious to tmrry the man 1 love, then I s'lall never more fcl depressed in spirit as seems to bo HEW VJMTE EAGLE (THEATER 1125 West Division Street Carl iMimlr presents Clad; Biwkfll ami Muart la "PAID BACK" Do jm like a big- mtory told im-ply aad wtthaat waatlaa; time?

PLANS QUEER PICTURE, Director Would Film Tale of Man Sneaking Into Frank Borsaxe, who directed "Humoresaue. Is ready to start fllmlns story he has planned to film for.

two and half years. He has just signed a new contract with First National and his first picture will be based on a magazine story written by Triston Tulpin several years ago. It should be an unusual film. The central figure In "Terwilli-ger" Is an old man who tends a park. He sits down to sum up his Ufa and visions himself at the gates of heaven, He -believes that if he can tell St.

Peter a sad story that will make him cry he may be able to sneak Into heaven while St. Peter Is wiping, his eyes. He tells St. Peter of his experiences in tending the park and St. Peter cries and the old man gets into heaven.

That is only a sketchy outline of the story, but it is sufficient to show that Borxaxe has rotten off the beaten path. More directors should be encouraged to essay the novel and the extraordinary in picture stories. Borxage's name is probably more generally mispronounced than any ether In the film business. The proper pronounciation la "Bor-zay-gee." Tho is hard, known him to be. "Pasteur" is an interesting ezperiencp in play-gOing the more so because you have to ask yourself a In "Morphia" a new cure is prescribed for those who are victims of the deadly anodynes; At least I presume it to be a cure, for at the end of the play it seemed that Julian Wade, a novelist arid an addict, had abandoned his hypodermics and was about to begin life anew, unimpeded by the drowsy Mr.

Wade, acted with dexterity by Lowell Sherman, was on the downward path when "Morphia" began. Secluded In his Ftudio. he found for-getfulness in wassial with the opiates. A- brilliant fellow withal, he was rot-thig himself away in a slough of indulgence, much to the distress of those who loved hini. Fiction, it was feared, was soon to loso one of its most sightly practioners; for the naughty poppies were in his blood, forbidding: him to pursue with proper assiduity his chosen profession.

When It seemed probable that he was doomed a childhood sweetheart appeared (Miss Olive Tell), disguised as a nurse, though she was a prominent actress. He then began to take himself seriously. He banished the nepenthes and in their place he substituted love. White arms and rod Ijps conquered the less seductive toxics. 'The play is by rLudwijr Herzer, adopted by It.

Duncan McXab, and it is one of those showy, rococo things in which Mr. Sherman excels. lCoprlhti New York Trlbuu. ISIS. MARY ALDEN WILL SOON BE DIRECTOR MARY ALDEN.

Mary Alden. wlo has leen starred In several productions, including- "The Old Net" and "A Woman's Woman," is soon to become a direcfoi. It is rumored. This is a field seldom entered by a woman, but experts agree that Miss Alden is peculiarly fitted for directorship. Miss Alden, a comparatively young woman, has for j-ears covered her natural beauty with makeup in the name of art.

Many thousands of her followers even to-day believe that she is an elderly woman, as s'ie haa specialised on mother and grandmother roles. She has played the featured role in six big- motion picture productions within the past several months, and day by day has been growing younger and younjrer. In the first she played a grandmother, in the second a mature, old-fashioned mother, and in the third a -smart modern mother of the sort who pals with her flapper daughter. One of her recent pictures was filmed in Porto Rico. This picture, "The Tents of Allah." Is -sheiky- in theme, and Miss Alden portrays the role of an oriental princess.

Mary Alden is on of tie few women experts on theatrical makeup now appearing- on the screen.

Ruth Hiatt. who is familiar to comedy fans, has Just sisned a contract to play the leading feminine role in the remainder of the seiios of Kdu-cational-llamiltun pictures. Miss Hiatt played in all the earlier releases of these comedies with Lloyd Hamilton. Their antics have amused many comedy lovers and Miss Hialt now feels that she is arriving with her nice new contract all signed. One has to watch these pretty, young comediennes, for before one realizes it they graduate into serious drama with high salaries, names electric lights and all the rest of it.

Just now, however. Miss Hiatt's one aim In life is to make good comedies but the admits she hopes some day to enter the d-r-r-r-r-ama. THE STAGE. from Pare Fire. motion picture director, a role moulded to him by the author.

This rugged and beautiful locution attracted the attention of the young author when he was appearing in a photo play with Margueiite Clark and the idea of the play took root in his mind.

The supporting cast includes Mrs. Thomas Whiffcn. the grand old lady of the stajre. Vivian Oerden. Helen Weir.

BY PERCT HAMMOND. The -jrays of the great actors, are sometimes as inscrutable as those of a man with a maid or a serpent upon a rock. Here is Henry MillerJ renowned for bis astuteness as a showman, electing to appear as Pasteur, the French physician. In a biography of that noble chemist, whose life, we gather, was largely scientific. Why.

it can be asked, does Mr. Mil ler thus bestow himself on a role so absent from routine glamours? Pasteur was a respectable though a ruthletis germicide, and his career contained few of the elements of a hero in the theater. Such dilemmas as perplexed his existence were not romantic. No women interfered with his investigations; and there is no woman in Mseplay. His ardor in the pursuit of serums was dramatic, of raurse.

but it was of the laboratory rather than the stage. He was not as Interesting as his work. It was said on the opening night of the play at the Empire that most Broadway drama lovers believe Pasteur to be a brand of milk bottle, not a human being. Few of them were aware of his achievements In fermentation and the antitoxins; and he was known vaguely as something or other that Henry Miller was going: to play. You may recall that Louis Napoleon Parker, author of "Dls-raelL" said that Americans thought Disraeli was a breakfast food until he came alonz with his drama and en lightened them.

These are exaggerations, oi wuiw, but even so, Pasteur seemed lacking in appeal to American showgoers. In France, as written by the younger Gultry and played by the elder, it was a different matter. Mr. Miller, desiring to Impersonate a benefactor, might expllcably have been attracted by a drama called "Edison or -Hoover- or "Ford or "Orville Wright." But he selected "Pasteur." and thereby added another to the many mysteries of the theater. Sometime, no doubt, a play entitled -Wilson" will be composed.

It Is interesting, is it not. to speculate on which Eugene O'Neill or Samuel Shipman of that period will re-create its great eveny. snd which George Arliss or Henry Miller will endeavor to impersonate its leading role? -Pasteur," however, has one subtle advantage. The compassionate healer who relieves human sufferinr: is ever an endearing flgure. as you may have been, with an ailment, you have found nothing so heavenly as the physician who feels your pulse.

Even though he be a surgeon you confidently entrust to blm your, welfare, sure that his amendments of your person will be Improving. The doctor who has what used to be called a good bedside manner is an auspicious spectacle, for the time being, and he is amongyour best -beloved. It is possible that Mr. Miller in choosing Guitry's play a bis this season's implement thousrht of that valuable quality. At.

any rate, he represents, Pasteur as a sympathetic country doctor, with whiskers and baggy pants; not as a nerve bacteriologist. And at the first performance his audience put its feverish little hand In his and trusted blm very much. Mr. Miller's reproduction of the scientist is therefore at least a thoughtful one. It Inspires confidence.

The play is in detached episodes, after the fashion of "Abraham Lincoln." and It a testimonial to Pas-Mtw than a. Tolav. It- has. nevertheless, its theatrical Incidents. One of these is the episode in wmcn Pasteur, addressing1 the Academy of Medicine on the topic of smallpox, is heckled by his reactionary colleagues.

ontmnents are scattered throughout the audience, andi they startle you by jumping up ana snouting -I object!" proceeding; thereafter to argue with the lecturer about mimhM mil vaccination.

Tet they were all Just as much astounded as I was when a dignified quiet little fellow in our midst began to mutter and curse under his breath and to shake his fists at Pasteur upon the stage. That, at least. as one of the thrills of the performance Another was in the episode where a small boy came to the laboratory, his hands and legs lacerated by a mad dog. He was to be Pasteur's- first human adventure in the prevention of rabies. Mr.
