Still Nothorsolo was alwnys vulcnr, so tho pub lic decided that possibly "Sapho" was not wholly bad. Then Oscar Itnmmorstcln gavo tho oporn public Massenet's "Sapho" with Mnry Garden In tho tltlo rolo. Even Miss Garden's genius Is malting vulgar roles interesting and unobjectionable failed be fore tho Inherent foulncsi of tho charac ter. But Imagine Thoda Barn, "tho worst woman In tha world," "tho vamplro of the screen," etc ns her aspiring (and prob ably perspiring) pross ngent has termed her. In this rolot Sho fully lives up to all expectations ono might havo. Sho Is beautiful yet sensual, alluring yet vi cious, fascinating yet vulgar In tho ex treme, Bara Is an Interesting Sapho, not from tho same standpoint ns Garden, who mads her Sapho a woman of brains and feelings, notwithstanding her faults, but from the purely physical standpoint. She Is really bcnutlful enough to poso for sculptors. Sho poses aulto as If sho had done It all her life. Her Sapho Is a person of physical Instincts, governed by her passions. It Is wholly evil. Tho picture Is really beautiful as re gards lighting and Interior sets. The wholo cast Is competent but not dis tinguished. At least tho lovers of well acted Immorality will enjoy "tho Eternal Sapho." Two prominent Hngllsh actors havo Bono Into movies In well-known plays. Sir Gcorgo Alexander, assisted by Hilda Mooro, has made 'The Second Mrs. Tanquerny" and Sir John Haro has mado "Caste." Both will shortly be released by the Popular Pictures corporation. For tho first time slnco tho epidemic of motion pictures swept the country ono of America's most distinguished composers has written a complote scoro to bo used In conjunction with a photoplay. Tho composor In this Instance Is none othor than Victor Herbert, and his music will bo heard when ThomaB Dixon's "Tho Fall of A Nation" reaches Broadway. Mario Dressier, tho comical, was a visitor with old friends at tho Mirror studio In Glcndale the other day. She was not thrown out; neither did sho throw any one else out. Tha affair passed off quietly nnd without broad comedy. Following the production of the Sellg drama, 'The Crisis," William N. Sellg Is planning to film 'Tho Garden of Allah."
