It was by this tlmo ( o'clock, and I had
some dinner and went to see John Drew
and Alexandra Carlisle In "Hosemnry."
TUESDAY.
In tho morning I got to the studio as
early as usual and had to wait nearly an
hour and a half before I was wanted.
Then I was put Into a car with a strange
young iaay wnom I had not seen before
and. together with her mother, wo were
taken a good long way to a perfectly
lovely house, situated on high ground,
with gorgeous mountain views nt the
back and great, rather barren, stretches
of country In front. On my arrival
there I found myself drinking rather
doubtful-looking mint Juleps with three
other boon companions In the dress of
1M0 or so, and presently along comes the
girl I had como up with In the car, and
sho drops her fan. I pick It up and
follow her, ns usual on the watch fo," a
flirtation. Then follows another scene
uhere I am looking after her as she Is
having tea In the veranda. (A man Is
mowing the lawn JiiRt In front of us,
occasionally stopping to watch us, but
not often. They arc more than ac
customed to movIeB here.) I then find
myself In another picture as I como up
to tho girl, sit down and flirt hard
am getting very used to this flirting
business In this piece. It Is becoming
a habit.) Ono or two more scenes nnd I
finish. En olture again! Wo return
to the studio.
Tlcase, Mr. Maude, will you become
young Pier CJynt now?"
Then I set about to try and revive
my youth nnd get Into my Illp-llko rags.
Again I find a fresh maiden, rather
plump, but small this time, waiting for
me. (What a devil f a chap Peer wns')
I am at once In a. scene where her oung
lumpish-looking husband Is very much
upset because, though he has been that
day married to her, she will have noth
ing to do with him and has locked her
self up In a barn. Nothing daunted, I
offer to help him by luring her out of
the barn and then I shut him In and
away to the mountains. Then home very
tired, but mostly tired In anticipation
of what I have to do on tho morrow.

Police Court Chronicles
A lonely egg aroused the hunger of
John Iledmond and Willie Holt, two ne
groes with healthy appetites. They
realized there wouldn't be much "pick
ings" on the egg, no matter what style
they served It. While they were thinking
up a plan to Increase the commissary
department, they passed a grocery near
11th and Catharine streets and saw a sub
stantial ham dangling from a hook.
At the same time the discovery was
made the proprietor, Joseph Itlchards, ap
peared In front of tho store. John and
Willie went Inside and made a number
of Inquiries about things which they knew
were not on sale. Willie wandered out
In the direction of the ham, from which
an appetizing odor radiated. Then he no
ticed that his partner was arguing with
the proprietor of Ibe store. Willie jumped
on a box, disconnected the ham from Its
looorlugs and fled up 13th street. But the
grocer aaw him,

"SALVATION NELL"
OPENS METROPOLITAN
Will Share Stnge September 25
With Tnbloid of "Mikado"
and "Spirit of 1776"
By the Photoplay Editor
While other prices soar, tho cost of
amusement has a general tendency to
decrease. The Messrs. Shubert will re
open the Metropolitan Opera House about
September Si with an cntortalnment quite
notable for Its diversity and distinct nov
elty, consisting of feature photoplays,
grand and comic oporo, symphony music,
water spectacles and patrlotlo tabloids,
A'l of this unusual variety of entertain
ment may be had In the elaborate en
vironment of the Metropolitan Opera
House at a scale of prices ranging from
15 to (0 cents. Among the musical fea
tures will be Paul Volkman, the remark
able tenor; the Hlppodromo Quartet and
n chorus of CO For tho opening program
a tabloid version of "Tho Mikado," with
the singing company In full costume, will
bo given. Besides theo there will be
several photoplay features, Including
"Salvation Nell." Symphony music and
a water spectacle In a real lake now a
permanent fixture In the Metropolitan,
add diversity to the program, which will
have as Its climax a patriotic tableau,
entitled "Tho Spirit of 1770." staged by
Edward Temple,
Next week the Stanley divides Its en
tertainment between Lou Tellcgen, the
distinguished French nctor, now starring
In America, and Donald Brian, whose feet
nre quite as well known as Charllo
Chaplin's, though for another reason.
Mr. Hrlan will make his debut In the
Alms with "Tho Voice In tho Tog." Mr.
Tellcgen will be seen In "The Explorer,"
founded on W Somerset Mauglmn's
drama of that name, and placed In scena
rio form by William C. Do Mllle.
Lou Tellegcn, by tho wny, has the dis
tinction of being tho first motion-picture
actor. Mr. Tellegen's first appearance be
fore a motion-picture camera was mado
when the art was still In Its Infancy and
restricted to the taking of moving trains
or flro engines nnd landscape scenes. A
cinematograph operator happened to ap
pear In a little town near Paris, where
Mr Tellcgen was spending a vacation, to
tako some street scenes. Mr. Tellegen
fiucceMtcd tn him that a little scene be
) carried out In tho street to brenk the dull
monotony of the buildings It was tho
first time a sccno was ever enacted be
fore a motion-picture camera Later Mr.
Tellegcn Induced Sarah Bernhardt to give
a performance of "Queen Elizabeth" be
fore the motion-picture camera nnd later
directed her In a number of other photo
plays.
William Alexander, knight errant of the
Fox Company, sends the Evening Ledoeh

sago: "Fox features took first prize at the
San Diego Fair."

What Local Managers Are and

If there's one thing that bothers some
photoplaygocrs moro than another It's the
tlmo tablo at the thentres. They want to
see a particular feature or portion of tho
program. All they can do Is to plunge in
and trust to luck. Maybe they hit tho tall
end of tho film they want and have to
wait through the whole program for the
favorite to come back.
The Stanley is doing eomethlng to help
tho situation by printing In Its program
tho announcement that "the main fea
tures begins as nearly as possible at U,
2, 4, 6, 7:45 and 9:45. It's good as far as
It goes, but It doesn't tell prorpcctlvo pa

"The Soul of a Woman," fill out the week.
A decided Innovation Is to be Introduced
in connection with the children's matinees
which are to be given each Saturday
morning throughout the winter season at
the Stanley Theatre. An invitation Is to
be extended to all Juvenile patrons under
the age of 12 years to act as crlt'ics of tho
pictures presented, and to submit their
criticisms each week In the form of a
brief review. These reviews will be sub
mitted to competent Judges, and to the
author of the one considered best there
will be awarded each week a cash prize
of J2.50. On the occasion of each award
the name of the winner and, where possi
ble, quotations from the winning criticism
will be flashed upon the screen at the
