a-nd of his own orsanlxatlon In particular
tanner the existing unprecedented condi

Mraln moving pictures are strong enough

The time when It was necessary to ex
perlment In tho matter vt players hns
passed. There was a period, not bo long
ago, when we were all 'trying out' mntcrlni
from the ranks of the legitimate. Some of
these try-outa were failures, many have
proved successful, and the result I. that tho
creen today has n recognized roster of
atari who are certain of their appeal and
Who have as powerful a following and aro
b capable and artistic as ever tho stars of
the legitimate stage could have been.
The same applies to those who write
for the screen, and while, as In tho case
ef the actors there aro contnual additions
of tho actors there are continual nddltlons
to experiment. Heal screen literature has
teen developed and able authors ato turning
dally to this medium ot expression.
"Dependability must be proved by con

"The public Is becoming dally more dls

and therefore the producer can never Hand
still. Stagnation means decay Pronresfl
means perpetual vigilance and continual
effort to Improve. That Is what we arc
striving for and tho results seem to Indicate
beyond the peradventure of a doubt that
we are succeeding."

One of tho most Interesting managerial

Heart" at his Burbank Theatre In Los
Angeles, later taking It to New York,
where It ran for two years at tho Cort
Theatre. Since that time this play has
feeen seen by almost eery theatiegoer In

MrH. Charles CJ Craig, who plays tho
black mammy In "Come Out of the Kitchen."
nt tho Broad Street Theatre, broke nil
existing records durln- the recent run of
ltuth Chatterton's newest vehicle In New
York. Unwittingly Mrs. Craig stumbled on
tho unique Instanco of theatrical nnna's of
something new for an actresn to lore
Mrs. Craig Is producer of her collection
of "character" .aprons than of anything
elso in tho wot Id, sao only the naturalness
of her chocolate-colored make-up Having
played negro mammies for more years than

without parallel She has aprons with red
ducks chasing blue flying fish and nprons
with alligators, embroidered in green, swim

Ono morning In her hotel Mrs Craig was

by mi open window was resting a freshly
Ironed apron, ono with cow and Hheep
eating yellow-embroidered grass on it. The
draft caused by tho open door lifted up
the apron and out tho window It flo.itcd.
Mrs. Craig mid tho mold rushed for the

thero was never a sign of the apron. Who
oer picked it up must have thought It

D. G. PHILLIPS NOVEL
FILM PLAY THEME
The late David Graham Phillips was one
of the most popular American noellstH.
'The Hungry Heart." w'llcli was one of his
best-liked stories, has now been screened
and will be Pauline Frederick's new vehicle
at the Arcadia Theatre all next week.
The story presents this problem: Can a
man be true to his science and at the
same time give to tils wife the unadulterated
affection she necessarily craves? It is
often said that "art Is Jealous and will
brook no rivals." Science In the case of
Richard Vaughn and his wife, the two cen
tral figures of "The Hungry Heart." Is
equally sclflfh. Vaughn neglects his bride
of a few weeks for his chemistry: she seeks
i place in his life equal ut least to hN
stud'es and finding the door closed against
her tho reeks consolation In the attentions
of another man. Basil, who Is assisting her
hunbar in his experiments. nbert Cam
Is said to gle n commendable Interpretation
ot this role that of n man who would
like to be honorable, but finds the tempta
tion too great for his moral, strength. Here
In the midst of an apparently hopeless sit
uation a solution Is found which ends the
story In touching fashion.
Robert Q. Vlgnola directed the film
drama. Pauline Frederick as Courtney la
sntd to have a role well suited to her emo
tional equipment. Howard Hall is tho hus
band and Kldcan Stewart plays the child
ot the couple

HOW SCREEN PATRONS
SUPPORT UNCLE SAM
William Fox Analyzes Tax Law
That Will Bring Millions
to Government
Every one knows that this week the Gov
ernment war tax on theatre admissions be
came effective, but comparatively few per
sons nre sufficiently familiar with tho law
to understand Just what Is going to take
place both In their pockctbooks and In
the theatres.
Hero In concise form and without con
fusing legal verbiage Is an explanation of
tho workings of the new measure by Will
tarn Fox, who produced "Aladdin nnd His
Wonderful Lamp," to bo shown next week
at the Stanley Theater. The tax law, of
course, npplles to both photoplay theaters
ind legitimate houses.
"On all tickets sold," says Mr. Fox,
the purchaser of a ticket will pay n tax
collected nt the tlmo of the sale. The holder
of a pass must also pay. Tho amount of
ihe tax Is ono cent for each ten cents or
traction of ten cents, thus:
Ic on n lOe tlrkrt,
Sc on n 15c tlrkrt.
.1c on n 2.1e tlrkrt.
4c on n 3Ac tlrkrt.
So on ftOe tlrkrt.
Sc on r. "3c ticket.
Ami so on.
"Whcro children under twelve years ot
ago tiro udmltted, nnd thctr ticket paid for,
the tnx Is ono cent per ticket regardless of
tho prlco. If a purchaser buys two seventy-fle-ecnt
tickets, he pays an eight-cent tnx
on each, not fifteen cents for the total of
J1.50. Tho tax Is on each ticket separately
and not on tho aggregate.
"The duty of collecting the tax Is placed
upon tho person or corporation operating
the theatre. The Government has desig
nated no special method for collecting tho
tax and makes no allowance for any deduc
tion for the expense to which the theatre
may be put by the new law.
"Whorn the highest ndmN'ton In a the
atre Is flvo cents, tho admissions nrc tax
exempt. This does not mean theatres which
have a live-cent admission In their t.cule,
but means theatres where the maximum
charge Is five cents."
Tho new tax will bring millions each
month to the Government. According to
the ticulo cited nbove, tho legitimate theatres
In New York city alono should collect dally
approximately $10,000, at a. conservative
estimate.
STAGE NAME BORN OF
SISTERS' QUARREL
People often wonder why most of tho
stago celebrities employ other names than
their own. In many cu&es the namo stago
folks use on the stage come to them by
accident. Sometimes tho nomenclature Is
suggested by episodes In the perfornier'B
life. This Is the fact as regards Floronzo
Tempest, who conie.i to B. F. Keith's Thea
ter this week In u "single" offering. Miss
Tempest is more familiarly known as one
half of tho sister team of Tempest and Sun
shine, and it Is ot these girls and their
weather-bureau names that the following
story nab recently told:
The family name of Tempest and Sun
shine Is Ijames, and Florcnzo Is the older
of tho two sisters. They wero born In
Loulsvlllo and became Infatuated with tho
theater In their childhood. They made
tholr debut at a church festival and when
Florcnzo "muffed" her lines Marlon burst
out laughing. Florcnzo stopped tho "act"
rlghf there and save her sister a furious
call down. After the affair was a" over
tho Kind old pastor said: "Girls, If you ever
go on tho Ftngo I suggest that you call
5ourse!cs Tempest and Sunshine, for you
uiv cxniily thnt "
So when Lincoln .1. Carter engaged tho
girls for "Tho Two Llttlo Waifs" they be
came Florenze Tempest nnd Marion Sun
shine. Florcnzo always played the boy and
since, that time has been Identified as one
of the cleverest male Impcrsontors on the
American utagc. Associated with her sister,
Florenzo Tcmpeet has run the gamut of
theatricals from Shakespeare to musical
comedy. This reason Mls3 Tempest Is ap
pearing alone ngnln, the Tempest and Sun
shine partnership having dissolved at the
u'oh-j of labt reason. Miss Tempest la still
pl,i Ing boy roles.

Winsome Star of "One Hour" Hao Defi
nitely Abandoned Vaudeville
for Screen
Tho celluloid presence of magnetic Zena
Virginia Kecfo will be revealed to patrons
of the Imperial Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday, when tho screen play "Ono Hour"
will bo thown there.
Miss Keefo Is a girl from out of tho
Golden West and one of tho youngest lead
ing ladles -of tho Vltagraph Stock Company,
as born In San Francisco, Cal., on June
:C, 18DC. Sho Is American through and
through, coming ,from purely American
stock, her father. James P. Kccfe, having
been born In Mobile, Ala., and her mother,
whoso maiden namo was Alllo TurbiUllc, In
Yazoo, Miss. At first glanco Miss Kecfo
would bo taken for n southerner, as uho
bus many of the characteristics that mark
the girls from tho land ot cotton and mag
nolia. Miss Keefo Is virtually a child of the
theatre, as she made her first professional
appearunco when but three years of age In
Palmer Cox's "Brownies In Fairyland."
After this engagement sho began her edu
cation In a convent In San Francisco, where
sho stayed until her parents moved to New
York. Here sho continued her education
until an alluring offer to play tho Llttlo
Mother In "The Fatal Wedding" took her
on tho road for three successive seasons.
Her work In this part attracted so much
attention that she was continually receiving
offers, not on'y from theatrical magnates,
but from movlng-plcture directors nnu
heads of film companies, who ten years ago
were Just beginning to break Into tho ranks
of tho legitimate actors. A child actress
who could register on the screen was a
rarity. In Miss Kcefe's caso tho movies
won, but only for a short time, ns she was
with tho Vltagraph a little less than a year
when sho became a featured attraction In
Keith's Vaudeville. Sho fluctuated between
posing for tho Vltagraph and vaudeville
engagements until 1913, when she played
her last Beason as a vaudewlllo headllner.
During the latter part of 1914 Miss Keefe
returned to tho Vltagraph Company, and

The business of making motion pictures
Is, in effect, tho retailing of Imagination.

turesqueness has vanished. Yet once In a

we live Is In fact the most picturesque and
romantic of nil ages. When you come to
think of It, modern industrial life Is dra
matic to tho very core.
Gilbert IC Chesterton, tho famous rng
llsh essayist, says that tho mailing of a
letter Is a drama In Itself. I never turn
on an electric light at my room at the club
that It does not occur to mo that, some

It often comes to mo with a queer f,,.,.
as wo sit around tho studio sweating Mo5
over tho scenario of a comedy. At ?!
times an idea strikes you and the echo if
that idea will presently bo heard t th.
ends of the earth. Something makes et.

Wo start a little Joke In front of .

We hatch out a little Joke and It toei b
funny llttlo theatres across the world, where
Japs sit squatting on their heels; to tMf,
little places in tenements where the chil.
dren find there Is still something to Uurv
nt In tho world ; to tho picture palaces la
the glare of Uroadwny lights; to Unai
across tho sea ; into prisons where nwn la
whoso souls there Is no longer any lauthut
somehow man a go to laugh.
This Is what makes our work worth while.
