Persons who know little of the vast
organization required to furnish a enn-
tlnuous supply of screen plays to Xhe
Triangle combination at the Chestnut
Street Opera House may be Interested In
some concrete facts and figures.
F D. W. Griffith's studio is caDable of
turning out 10,000 feet of film a week.
Five hundred actors are on the recular
salary list; many thousand more are em-
p:oyea almost every week as "extras,
and ten producing directors are kept
busy. The place where these activities
JO on In Hollvwood, asuburb of Los
Angeles, Is called "the lot of many build
ings." There are more than a score of
structures upon it, and a now factory and
two new studios are in course of construc
tion. The electric light generator Is so
powerful that five electric light stages
for night worly can be added at once.
There are 200 dressing rooms, 20,000
costumes In slock nnd uncounted thou
sands of properties.
Yet this Griffith studio Is only one of
the three constituent nlnntn of Mia
Triangle. The one at Inceville on the
Pacific Ocean, controlled by Thomas H.
Ince, Is Just as large. And, by the way,
Mr, Ince receives distinguished visitors
la true royal style. An Idle steam yacht
Was out In thfl hnv when h trnt rieflnllA

Mr. Ince Immediately chartered the yacht.
si weeK he turned It over to Mlsa
Burke nights and mornings for her daily
trips to and from tho Catallna Islands,
to the meantime reserving Its daytime
for producing nautical scenes.

WALTON, IN "HANDS UP"
I euled to tho tired business man of New
York, When the dansnnt was llrst begun
It was hard to get tho really desirable
men to come. But when they discovered
what fun It was nnd how easily they
could forget all their business worries at
a tango tea, they came in hoidts. And
now they are still enthusiastic about It.
"It's tho one harmless wny they have
of forgetting all their bothersome old
luHlntps, nnd tho T. U. M. is no longer
tin d when he Is dancing, nt least. I
think that no other amusement gives
filth a sense of friendship with one's
puitner us dancing. Just think of the
mnny romances that have grown out of
tho modern danco how many young
people, and older people, too, have been
married who first met nnd liked each
other nt a tango tea."

It, with the studios, offices and buildings
straggling far oer the crest of the Coast
Itange.
Mr. Ince's community Is so complete
unto Itself, with almost every form of
self-sustaining Industry and many of
the polite arts and crafts, that It seems
as if little could be added to It. Last
week he found that a department of
oil pointings had been omitted and im
mediately put In one. Half a dozen
artists were at once put to work mak
ing the oils and water colors to deco
rate the Interior scenes In which Blllle
Burke and other stars will appear. It is
a long wny from Inceville to Broadway,
so It is better and cheaper to manufac
ture your chef d'ouvres on the spot.
Mack Sennett at Keystone Is some
what behind the two other directors as
to size, but is rapidly making amends by
rebuilding nnd enlarging his studios. On
the other hand, Mr. Sennett has prob
ably surpassed the two others In the
novelty and ingenuity of hlsMribors. For
example, for a new film calfeU "Wars of
the World" he has had constructed In
perfect models Zeppelins, aeroplanes,
railway trains, terminals and bridges, 4i
centimeter Krupp guns, etc. Theso taken
close up to the camera give the exact
appearance of reality.
Mr. Sennett Is also tho porfector of the
svcalled fragrle china, which his actors
employ with rare effect In domestic dish
throwing scenes In Keystone comedies.
The stuff Is so light that It shatters to

Borne of the sailors even tumbled from

on there was a continuous discharge of

deafening.
This was as things appeared In the

four "movie' cameras and several hand

MANY FEATURE FILMS
FOR COMING WEEK
$2 Movies Continue at Chestnut.
"The Blindness of Virtuo"
nt Metropolitan
By the Photoplay Editor
I'hlladrlphla has at last seen 12 movies.
Only one feature of tho throe nlms pre
sented nt the Chestnut Street Opera
Houso Inst Tuesday was disappointing.
As the reviewer then snld, It wrts nn ac
cident that ccry management must face
-attlstlc Infallibility has yet to be dis
covered. On the whole, the occasion was
highly enjoyable, especially In Mew of
the beautiful, tasteful nnd comfortable
reconstruction of the opera house. The
city undoubtedly looks forward, with a
great deal of Interest, to what the Tri
angle people will show us nt tho Chest
nut Whether a ff2 program of feature films
can be mndo n financial success anywhere
outside of New York Is another matter.
One piece of the cnllbre nnd length of
the "Birth of a Nation," advertised for
over a en by Its phenomenal success
on Broadway, will draw In tho shekels.
Whether peoplo will fill a theatre week
after week to see a program of thrco
shorter films nt prices such ns the Chest
nut Street Opern House has established
there are, of course, a majority of good
sents nt considerably less thnn $2 Is on
the lnp of the gods. Certainly, however,
the Triangle people will do everything In
their power to put their Idea through. It
wilt have a long nnd fair trial, nnd It
will be backed by the fortunate fnct that
the rentnls of the films In smnller towns
and smnller theatres after tho "first run"
at the Chestnut Street Opera House will
settle nnv temporary deficit that may
nrlse while the venture Is winning nn au
dience. It Is only a pity that the legit
imate theatre cannot havo such a "life
preserver."
It Is nlso a pity that the legitimate the
atre hns not more producers nnd mnn
ngers of tho artistic nnd business cnllbre
of tho gentlemen behind the Chestnut
Street Opera House.
The second week of Triangle films at
the Chestnut Street Opera Houso begins
Mondny nftemoon, with four stnrs in
stead of three, nnd with four feature
films. Next week Mnck Sennett will pre
sent two two-reel Kej stone comedies
one exhibiting Cddlo Kn- nnd t ni" In
"A Favorite Fool," dealing with circus
life. The other will show Raymond
Hitchcock in on environment of tho
Orient. Tho film Is cnlled "Stolen Magic.'
and Mabel Norman assists.
The Griffith contribution next week
will be "Old Heidelberg" from the piny
In which Mansfield starred. Wallace Iteld
and Dorothy Glsh will have the leading
parts. Last week the Grlfllth forces car
ried off the honors, but In the new bill
the management insists that the piece
de resistance will be ThoniRs H. Ince's
drama, "The Coward." It will give
Frank Kecnan the part of a Mexican
war veteran who enlists In the Civil
War.
The second week at the Metropolitan
Opera Houso brings the long-awaited
film version of "The Blindness of Vir
tue." The production on the screen of
Cosmo Hamilton's English drama of the
girl who almost reaches tranedy through
Ignorance has been made by the Cssanay
Company. With "Tho Blindness of Vir
tue" will gp shorter comedy nnd travel
films and a variegated surrounding bill.
The latter Includes a condensed version
of "The1 Chimes of Normandy." Grand
opera will be presented by selections
from "Cavallerla Rustlcana," the Anvil
Chorus from "Trovatore" and the "Lu
cia" sextette. Arthur Aldrldge will sing
There will be a final patriotic display en
titled "Liberty."
Next week the Stanley will show Marie
Doro In a film of Japan. It is a plcturlza
tlon of "The White Pearl," by Kdlth
Barnum Delano, who wrote Mary Pick
ford's recent success, "Bags." In "The
Whlto Pearl" the love of two Americans
triumphs over the machinations of a band
of Japanese Geisha tradesmen, the in
fluence of a Hindu legend of death and
the caprices of destiny. The supporting
cast Includis Thomas Holding, Walter
Craven and Robert Brodcrlck. The stage
direction Is by fJdwin S. Porter nnd Hugh
Ford.
"The White Pearl" will be seen nt the

A Man With Faith
in Melodrama
Rol Cooper Megrue has still to snow
Philadelphia n play of his. And yet Kol
Cooper Megrue Is the author of two erf
the last season's phenomenal successes,
"Under Cover" and "It Pays to Adver
tise," and of a new pleco that seems go
ing their way, "Under Fire." "Under
Cover," which he wrote with Walter
Hnckctt, ran from Christmas to 4th of
July In Boston year before last, all last
year In New York, nnd Is making ready
for a stay In Philadelphia. No wonder
Mr. Megrun believes In melodrama. This
Is how ho explains that belief
"Public tnste In matters of theatrical
entertainment changes about every seven
years. When you think you have the
public properly set for a long and un
broken patronage of this or that kind
of play you suddenly realize that tho
dear public Is slipping away from you
and giving Its attention to some other
style of drnma. This means, of course,
that you ennnot keep public taste for
ever centred upon farce or the problem
play, and that even the greatly over
produced musical play Is not able to hold
Its own ngalnst the uncertainty of dra
matic favor.
"But melodrama why, melodrama goes
right on In ono form or another and tho
public never wavers In Its loyalty. Thero
never was a time when good melodrama
could not stand on Its logs In the face
of all competition. Melodrama Is the
basis of nil theatrical entertainment, and
It would Indeed be a deadly thing for the
theatres of tho country If, even In dull
times, a waning Interest In that stylo of
play should overtake us.
"If you will look back with me, I think
you will see that good melodrama waj
never out of the race for patronage a
new thrill always has friends In the
front of the house to applaud It The
crook plays which have so lately attracted
attention will In time piss on and somo
other form of melodrama will take Us
place. But while farce and problem plays
movo around in cycles, you may rest
assured that melodrama will always be
among those present."
