Bnvmc nueined tooay. The first piny from llcnry W. Srtvase's collection to bo made a film feature nnd relenfcd through tho Pathe UxclmnRO Is one of the mnnnRer's mnny happy ex peditions Into fnrce undccornlod by music, "ntcmo Mel" Prom first to Inst It mnkea a consistently nmuslni? photoplay It has no tremendous cpoch-mnklnR momenta of mirth nnd which is not to be said of every flvc-pnrt comedy It has no yards of dulncsi nnd tedium. "fixcuo Me1" Is welt cast to start with, George V Marlon himself, Robert Fischer, Itnrrls6n Ford, VKInn lilnck hurn and some unnamed plnyers nil con trlliuto something' Rood. In production the film follows the play to a surprising extent. Indeed, It Is doubtful If nny previous successful screen production has ndhored so strictly to the undecorntcd action of the piny, once tho preliminary exposition of tho stai;e Is acted out. For four reels tho action passes entirely on a transcontinental train of Pullmans. It concerns an clopllic couple, vho missed the minister InMrnd of (ho trnln, nnd who havo all sorts of trouble find Inn another. Tho situation Is handled with even more propriety and restraint than on tho stnec. Tho rcsemblnnco to Rupert Hushes' nmuslng play Is still further Increased by the use to a considerable extent of studlo-hullt Pullmans with the, stilts cut away show hip tho ends of tho near scats, as In the orlfilnnl production. It would be hard to sn, however, Just where genuine trains could have been more often utlllrcd. Some ery clever use Is made of screen "nsldes" to tho audience. Announcement Is mndo thnt a feature of tho bill to be presented at tho Stanley Theatre, starting Just nfter the New Year has been ushered In and for the benefit and entertainment of those who have Journeyed to tho vicinity of tho City Hall to usher out tho old and usher In the new, will be Gcraldlno Farrar, In a first presentation here of "Temptation." In addition there will bo a supplementary bill of comedy and current event num bers. The performance will start at 12:13 a. m. on New Year's morn nnd continue for upward of nn hour. Beginning thus, Just ns the tumult and the shoutlnr; dies und when relief Is soiiRht from tho Jost' lliu,' crowds, no more pleaslnR or llttlnR manner of starllnR In the new-born jcar could seem to bo chosen. There will niso be special mtdnlRht per formances nt the Palace, Globe, Arcadia and Itcffent. After many of the 230 actors staRlnr; n war scene on tho largo sandbar at Mil ford, N. Y., for Paths Frerc's new film, "Tho Unlit That Failed." were found to havo worn Rloves, Hdward Jose, premier dltcctor for the company, ordered tho scene made over again, and despite the cold wintry blasts from Ixmg Island Sound the men had to "fight" with bare hands. Tho sandbar represents the Sahara In tho great production, nnd tho entire troupe, with at least 300 employed In this city, will remnlu In Jillford for the next week or so working on the Egyptian scenes.
