ORIGINAL "MADAME X"

Dorothy Donnelly Re-creates
Jncqualine at Opera House
This Week
By (he Photoplay Editor
MADAM X A rathe Gold nnoiter film,
featuring Dorothy Donnelly. Released Jan
jyiry 8. Alt week at chestnut Street Opera
House.

Those of us who had the opportunity of
seeing Sara Rernhnrdt ns Madam X
when tho great French actress was last
seen hero In repertoire, nnd also saw
Dorothy Donnelly play the same role In
English, were strucrt by tho Infinitely
more striking nttentlon paid to detail
found In Miss Donnelly's portrayal. Horn
hanlt relied on her wonderful voice alone,
while with Dorothy Donnelly tho minutest
details of costume and action were stud
ied out to tho finest point.
Now Pnthe has put this really mem
orable characterization on the screen, and
It stands tho test of wordless action ad
mirably. Mss Donnelly, never good look
ing, suffcis. so far as physical appear
ance goes, but her acting Is really moro
Impressive than when sho was playing
on tho legitimate stage.
The play needs no explanation. The
company surrounding Miss Donnelly Is
good throughout, while the plot Is hnn
dlcd consistently nnd carefully, losing
comparatively little from lack of spoken
lines.
The problem of finding attractions for
the Chestnut Street Opera House, which
should have a full week's drawing power,
nnd enough surplus to pny the high rentnl
of the theatie, has been no little task
for tho management. Hut nt Inst tho
Chestnut seems to have lilt on a very
sure solution. It Is the first runs of tho
Fox films. They will begin with n screen
veislon of Mnnsllcld's vehicle, "A Parisian
Komance."
One of tho most Important feature
pictures now being produced by William
Fox Is "Merely Mary Ann," Israel Zang
wIU'b delightful comedy-drama that was
successfully presented on the legitimate
stngo by tJlcnnor llobsoti. Dainty Vivian
Martin wilt be seen ns tho slavey In tho
film version, the part originally created
on the stage by Miss Itobson, John (.!.
Adolfl Is the director In charge of the
production.
Vnlll Vnlll, tho Metro star, who has
the stellar role In the new Columbia
Metro feature production, yet unnamed,
was bitten on the nose by a greyhound
while working In ono of the scenes. Di
rector William Nigh, who Is producing
the feature, had his company of players
on. Stntcn Island making exteriors. The
greyhound used In tho picture proved a
vicious animal, and he snnpped Miss Vnlll
on tho nose before she could avoid him.
The wound did not prove serious, ns
Hobcrt II. Thompson, the nsslstant di
rector, rushed in upon the scene and
drove the hound nway.
One of the most amusing sights nnd a
familiar one about the Rdlson studio U
the sight of Vloln Dnnn, the lUtle Edison
stnr, sitting with Oriental ease and
languor tho while some nctrcss rubs her
head In rhythmic motion. This sleepy,
restful fingering of tho scalp Is well
known to all mothers as n great quieter
when baby's nerves get on edge or when
sho wishes to put It to sleep, Tho situa
tion is ono of many exhibiting. In this
diminutive lending lady, striking traits
of tho lttlo girl who wll not "grow up."
Likely it is due to this child nature that
Miss Dana is able to picture so oppeal
Ingly her little girl Impersonation. To be
F''ct "to make her sleepy" Is the sure

"Papdiacci" Followed by "Coppelia,"
Both Excellently Done
The Indifference of Philadelphia to fine
opera when It Is not presented with the
own words, shod give nnme or n acw lorit organization was
any tlmo to have he head
anything
rubbed.
Clara Kimball Young, the lovely World
Film star, while not pretending .0 1.0 an
expert in ndviee on "How to remain beau
tiful,' firmly believes that most persons
eat too much. She only eats meat once
a day, which may or may not account
for tho fact that her figure preserves its
perfect outlines yenr In and year out.
Poor Marguerite Clark has a terrible
time keeping Herself Btrnlghtencd out
as to who she is In "The Prince nnd the
Pauper." Sho has to change so often
and act with herself so much that she
must feel quite Intimate with Marguerite.
Tho patrons of tho Locust Thentre will
marked again last Saturday evening,
when ono of the most satisfying perform
nnces of opera since the senson began
wns nttended by a number of music lovers
far smaller than thnt which hns come to
very second-rate performances before.
Tho singers and dancers of the Hoston
Opera Company were heard nnd seen In
"I Pngllaccl" and In the ballet "Coppelln,"
both performed with amazing finish and
beauty.
In the ballet Anna Pavlowa appeared
In a Ftrnnge nnd almost unrecognizable
Incarnation. She looked moro fragile, more
beautiful, than ever and her representa
tion of the doll wns exquisite nnd dainty
of the most! In her company neither
Mile. Kuhu nor Mile. PlnskOvIetzkn was
at best, but tho ensemble had all Its an
cient vigor. Its perfect cuntrol nnd Its
delicacy which so seldom accompanies
these virtues.
Yet line ns "Coppelia" wns, It was
dwarfed by n masterpiece of operatic 1
work In "I Pngllaccl." That opera, al- I
ready so ancient, gives promise of per-
mnnenco In repertoire which fnr exceeds
tho promise of the other opera with which
It Is customarily given. Miss Teyte wns ;
u favorablo Xedda, but delightful ns she
wns to see, she suffered by her hnblt of
exposing herself to the audience rather '
than to her fellow players. Her Silvio 1
wns no better, so that the clrninntlc centre '
of tho opera wns Imperfect. To mnko up !
the Cnnlo of Zenatello nnd tho Tonlo of '
Bnklnnoff were both superb works. Mr.
HnklaiiolT precipitated a smoking room
controveisy by nppcnrlng for tho piologue
In tho hlnck cloak nnd mask of Pnntn
loon, n Justifiable garb and effective. Ills
clown wns nbsuid, almost Indecently
stupid nt the end, ns he stood without
comprehension, munching nn niiplo over
the ilend body of Ncildn. Mr. Zenatellu
again mndo it clear that be Is. In nil pos
sibility, the best tenor In Amcrlcn. Ills
volco has stiffcied, but not us severely as
that of Caruso, and he Is incomparably
a liner nrtlst. Ills entrance, nil lightness
nnd camaraderie, the strolling player's
case and insinuation, his gayety. all were
Immediately engaging. And except for
the moment when he Imitated Caruso nt
his worst, in the lament, the rest of tho
performance wns Inepronchnble. Ite
menibcrlng his Otello of a Saturday night
not so long ago, wo wonder when .Mr.
Zenntcllo will be returned to his own.
For these two opcins alone, without the
ballet nnd the interesting cxpeilments,
the Hoston Opera Company must bo
praised until criticism sounds like press
agentry. It ought to be a terrible lesson
to tho opera company which is killing
opera in America. G. S. V.
