Use of So Much Heavy
Coin
In the production of "Tno Wanderer" nt
the Metropolitan Opera House, wnen tho
prodigal Bon squanders' Ills fortune, In riot
ous llvlnjr, there have been many nllusloni
to the "shekel," which every ono knows was
it coin In biblical times. Hut Just how
much was a shekcl7 Ulbllcal authorities
disagree. Anyhow, certain students of lllblo
times who have seen "The Wanderer" de
clare that the adapter, Maurlco V. Samuels,
ougl)t fo revise ono or two lines In tho play.
In tho eamblliiB noetic, where Jether gam
bles with leaded dice, tho Htukcs at Issue
ire a thousand shekels nt each throw.
A letter from a critic of biblical an
tiquities was leculvcd by tho management
of "The Wanderer ' company last week. Tho
critic wrote:
"In the second act of your play Jether
iambics a thdusand shekels n throw. Now,
the.o were two kinds of shekels In tho time
oi so Bible. A silver shekel was worth
flfU or sixty cents; a gold uhekcl was
worth at one time about M, and at another
period of time the gold shekel was worth
as much as $10. It Is, 'of course, possible,
that Jether did gamble a thousand shekels
rfor each throw, but that would make the
turn of tno alco cost anywhero between
jour thousand and ten thousand dollars, ac
cording to -tho exact aluo of tho ejhekcl at
that time. This might all bo very well in
theory, but how did these young men carry
around o much cold with them? In Ilia
t' play they produce this money from leather
.purses, wnicn Jiang irom a girdle around
f their waists, but a shekel of gold weighed
! a little more than a quarter of an ounce,
more approximately one-third of un ounce.
J A. thousand shekels, therefore, weighed
i about 300 ounces, in these days there was
, no such thing a Troy weight, or twelve
ounces to tho pound, but tho only standard
of weight was tho avoirdupois, or sixteen
ounces to tho pound. A thousand shekels,
therefore, would weigh something llko eight
ten pounds. Inasmuch as theso young men
on one occasion ran tho stakes up to 4000
shekels, It is Inconceivable that Jether and
his friends carried around as much as seventy-two
pounds of gold in ono little leather
purse. I really think Mr. Samuels ought
to look Into this matter, 'How much la a
ihekel?'"
The management of "The Wanderor"'com
pany has forwarded th!j letter to Mr.- Sam
uels for comment, and In the lneantiina
Jether continues to gamble heavily for theho
enormous stakes. Any btudent of biblical
matters who can bring forth nn argument
io prove that a thousand shekels does not
weigh eighteen pounds will bo cordially
welcomed at the Metropolitan Opera House.

"Cold baths may bo nlco for some of tho
people part of tho time, and I thought they
were ery fine myself until tho other duy,"
Ss&ertcd Vivian Martin recently, as she
stood near tho edge of tho "stHge" at the
Paramount studio, clad In overalls and
talked about tho ducking she had received
during tho Miming of her nowest produc
tion, 'The Sunset Trail," which will b
ehown on Thursday at the Strand Theatre.
"It was very wonderful up In the moun
tains where we took tho picture; we had
to make a large part of the trip In nn old
wagon and even forded a stream, almost a
river, fifteen times before wo got to the
place Mr. Melford had selected.
"Sometimes In fording tho stream tho
water would he up to tho bottom of the
wagon .and I could have reached out with
a cup and got a drink. High above us we
could see tho snow from which the water
came, lying In -white patches on the moun
tain sides. Harribon Ford, who plays with
me In this production, had to go In wading
for boine of the scenes, and ho claimed that
the water was ley cold, but we did not pay
much attention to him then.
'Tho day I got wet wc were on u fishing
trip, and I had climbed out along the limb
of a tiee right over a deep pool In tho hopo
of catching a particularly tempting trout
I could see hiding under a rock. All of a
audden, however, I slipped, and before I
had even time for one shriek I went out of
sight In that water, I never felt anything
like It In my life.
"One minute I was warm and comforta
ble and the next second I felt as though
I had been packed In Ice for years. When
Mr. Melford reached down and pulled me
out I was actually blue with cold. We were,
a mile from the camp where we had been
stopping and I had no extra wraps with
me. My teeth were chattering as if they
would break.
"Mr. Melford grabbed me by tho hand
and wo ran the mile to the cabin, where I
as Immediately put to bed with a lot of
hot water bags'nnd heavy blankets. No
rnpre cold plunges for me.
"Out In spite of ull theso adventures, or
misadventures, the picture will bo very,
Very beautiful frpm a photographic point
of view at least, as thero are mountain
scenes that rtvul tho Alps in grandeur."

PROCLAMATION No. 4
LET'S ARGUE THE POINT:
The pentlemen who direct the Co
Iwnbia Amusement Company long
ago realized that clean, witty and
scintillating entertainment naina the
confidence of the women folk. Once
they (jet to patronizing the class of
burlesque shown a the CASINO
they become the best advertisers. (
Thxs, because it's o' form of light
and diverting amusement that
"pleases the jaded business man and
the tired housewife or the society
woman who seeks relief from the
nnui of social obligations.
We invite the women to view next

PLAY WRITING AS A
LUCRATIVE TRADE
Marcin Confesses to Writing for Money.
New Ideas Are
Nuggets
Like Arnold Bennett, Max Marcin, nuthor
of "Cheating Cheaters," which will he tho
Garrlck's bill n week from next Monday, lj
not ashamed to admit that ho writes for
money. The discovery that dramatic com
position was prolltablo Is chiefly what In
terested this now successful dramatist In
footllght material.
This In his confession: "I had been writ
Ing fiction for about tluco ye.ns and was
getting tired of the grind. I looked tho
Held over and decided tho only placo thero
was any money was In plays. I derided
to take a year olt and learn tho trick.
"I never rend a book on how to vvrlto
plays. I studied plavs In the theatre. I
went to beo plays. I'd go to seo tho same
play flvo or six times and try to figure out
htfw tho other fellow was doing it. I'd
study out ono point after another until I
understood how a thing was done and why.
That was my education for dramatic writ
ing. "Tho plays that Influenced mo most were
(leorge Cohan's. I got more out of his
'Seven Keys to Ualdpato' and 'Walllngfotd'
than any otheis.
"Hut once you get in things are easy.
'Cheating Cheaters' was put on as soon as
I could have wished, and another of my
plays will go on bhortly.
"All my plays are dramatizations of my
stories. That baves some time. And I
still have about HOO published novelettes
and three novels on hand to dramatize, so
I don't expect to run out of material for
bomo time.
"I udmlt frankly that I took up play
writing to make money, of course, we nil
have our Ideals behind It all. I liavo mine.
To mo the solo function of a play Is to
amuse and divert. And I find the man
agers In accord with this Idea.
"And right hero you may b.iy for me
that all this stuff about managers being
hard to reach or to deal with Is all pure
nonsense. Tho managers are waiting with
open arms for any one who has Ideas and
shows any ability to write a good play.
"A. II. Woods and CJoorgo Cohan took
mo in and told mo anything I wanted to
know; showed me what I lacked and did
everything for me. Most of my success Is
due to their kindly aid and Instruction
These men will .do as much for any one
who has an Idea. They can't bo blamed If
they have little patienco with the many
people who have nothing to interest them.
The managers are always hungry for new
material, new Ideas, new writers "

FAIRBANKS REFUSES
TO FAKE CRACK SHOT
Fellow Player Demurs, But -Thrilling
Scene Is Acted ns
Written
In his latest Artcraft picture. "Tho Man
From Painted Tost," nt tho Stanley next
week, Dnuglas Fairbanks discloses sevcrnl
new cowboy tricks learned from champions
of a recent Itodeo meet, who appear with
him In the photoplay. Tho story of Wyom
ing cnttlo rustling days Is said to present
tho versntllo Douglas In thrilling situations
offering typical Fairbanks surprises.
Among other things Douglas is called
upon to shoot two holes through tho "bad
man's" lint whllo It reposes peacefully upon
tho lalter's head, some hundred yards away.
When tho usual substitute was suggested,
Fairbanks refused to listen to It, thereby
retaining his distinction of never "faking
a stunt" before the camera, Frank Com
peau, tho popular Ilroadway actor, who por
Mays tho outlaw character, being familiar
with Douglas' ability as a rharpshooter,
readily agreed to go through tho bit, but
when tho star leveled his guns and fired
two shots directly at the actor's head, even
ho had a sinking feeling. "I know Douglas
Is a crack phot, but even at that, when I
looked Into tho mouths of those "oung can
nons,' It made me a bit uneasy," said Cam
pcau later. The scene was enacted ex
actly per schedule, however, and Ciim
peau's hat lay on tho ground before ho
realized It was all over.
"The days of trick photography nro de
cidedly over, with the exception of the slap
stick comedy." said Douglas, in speaking
of tho Incident,, "and thoso scenes, prove
'hat ou can easily recognlzo a faked bit
by tho unnatural tempo of the action.
Whenever a scene does not look natural,
Sou can tnko It for granted that It has
been faked "

WAS UNPROMISING
But
"Professor's Love Story"
Turned the Tide of
111 Luck
When J. St. Barrio wns a growing boy
Ills mother, Mho Is said to be the, Inspira
tion .of nil his delightful and charming
heroines. Intended lilm for the ministry.
Ho wanted to bo n newspaper man. Tho
mother did not quite approve of this at
tlrst. but after frequent tnlks rho was recon
ciled to tho belief that her boy could write
for tho newspapers and still bo a good, God
fearing man.
Ills university course at an end, Mr. Bar
rio sought and obtained a position on ono
of the Irfindon dallies. Ho wanted to write
for tho stage. Ills first play was called
"Walker, London." nnd Nat Goodwin se
cured its rights for this country. Then
feeling nfrnld of it ho parted with It nnd
tlio work was given In this country by
James T. Towers. Tho comparative failure
of "Walker, London," greatly disturbed the
wntlmcntul Scotchman. Ho had much dif
ficulty in placing his next play. Wlllard,
tho actor, was coming to this country and
ho promised to read tho piece when he
had time. AVIllard opened in some of his
old plua In New York nnd had small suc
cess. A. St. Palmer, his manager, nsked
It there was not something clso that he
could do.
"I hao n manuscript by a. young' Scotch
man somen here in my trunk," nnsuercd
Wlllard. "Wo might have a look at It."
Tho manuscript was of "The Professor's
Love Story." The play was given a
"scratch," hurried production nnd mado an
Immense hit. This encouraged Barrio to
persevcro until now there Is no more Im
portant news on tho dramatic horizon than
uu announcement that the author of "Peter
Pan" has written another play. His latest
footllght offering It "A Kiss for Cinder
ella," In which Maude Adams Is to enact
the lending role at the Broad Street Thcatro

A JAPANESE ACTOR
OF SERIOUS IDEALS
Sakukichi Hatakenaha, Versed in
Oriental Art, Now Studies
Western Methods
The one Japanese actor employed In "Tho
Willow Tree" Is Sakukichi Hatnkenakn,
whoso vivid pantomimic art as the bird
seller heightens the nppcal of ono of the
most effective Incidents of the play. Mr. Hat
nkenaka Is said to bo tho only Japanese ar
tist on tho American Btago whose early
footllght training was acquired In Ills na
tlvo land. It was In order to learn some
thins nbout western world histrionic meth
ods that he Joined tho company. His asso
ciation with the drama la qulto naturnl;
for his father, one of tho leading merchants
of Koch!, Mr. Hatnkenaka's native city,
owned tho principal theatro there. At the
nd of his third school year he pleaded with
his father to allow him to apprentice him
self to nn actor for It Is tho custom In
Japan for tho young actor to learn Ills
profession by serving as make-up boy Mid
valet to nn established Thespian. From
this position ho Is graduated In time to
small pantomime parts. Finally he Is al
lowed to speak, but only after ho has at
tained remnrkablo proficiency not only In
acting but In tho allied art of dancing
which In Jnpan necessitates a rigid nthlctlc
training, similar to that undergone by tho
dancers of tho Imperial Ilusslan schools.
Tho elder Hatakenaka, however, was not
In symapthy with his son's ambitions, nnd
forbado hlm even to mention tho subject
again. Young Sakukichi complied with tho
letter of this command, but tho stage had
such a firm grip on hlm that lie could not
obey its spirit. Ho continued to study for
the stnge. and even played minor parts
occasionally when his father was out or
town.
