In Frederick A stokn Co (TO Hi: CONTINUKD) I.lttln Women," a plcturlzatlon of Louisa M. Alcott'a story, which will have Its Jlrst showing at tho Arcadia Theatre all next week, is said to bo a most no table achievement of screen production In every detail. "Llttlo Women" on a book has prob ably had more readers than any other book written In America wllh the pos sible exception of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Nearly every girt In the world has read I.lttlo Women" as it has been translat ed Into many languages. All girls love to read and talk about the woes and Joys of Jo, Amy. Meg and rfeth, tho gal lantries of Laurie the faithfulness of John and the honesty of Trofessor Bliacr. When produced as a stage play some years ago, "Llttlo Women" ran for eighteen months and then toured tho country with success everywhere. Many attempts hao been made to secure the rights of "Little Women" for the screen, but it remained for William A. Brady to persuade tho Alcott Instate to permit the picture being made. Harley Knowles, who directed the pic ture, chose the scenes in ami about the homo of Louisa M. Alcott at Concord, Mass. The house that she lived in has been preserved as a memorial of tho famous author. Mr. Knowles used the ery rooms she lived In to picture her scenes. The Plumfleld Orchard will be seen in the photoplay as it Is today. To those who loved "Little Women" this picture will be doubly attractive because of the fact that it was taken amid tho scenes where Miss Alcott lived and died. riven realism Isn't enough these davs, according to Annetto Kellermann, the Internationally famous woman .swimmer. "They wanted realism recently In a picture In which I was starred," sho explains, "and so they stretched a ca ble from a tower on a point of land, across from an arm of the sea, to tho mainland opposite. Then then' Induced mo to tret nut nn tho wire while some one chopped it near tho tower end and plunged mo Into tho elghty-nvo feet of space between my starting point and the water. I did tho stunt flvo times before the plcturo 'look.' 'Tho other day I was witnessing n private showing of tho production. A party of women wero present who did not know me, and I overheard one of them remark, knowingly: "Oh, that Isn't real: It couldn't be! They must have used a dummy!1 I didn't remain to sco tho rest of the picture. What was the use. after that?" Tho thrilling dlvo which Miss Keller mann mado is shown In tho new sub marine spectacle, "Queen of the Sea," which will have Its first presentation Monday for a two weeks' run nt the vic toria Theatre. When Henry Arthur Jones' celebrated melodrama, "The Silver King," was liro duccd In London In 1882, Its success was so pronounced that it was In great demand In this country It was first presented in New York at Wallack's Theatre on January 23, 1883, within a few months of Its London premier. The play achieved an Instantaneous success and it toured the country for several seasons. This celebrated play has been plctur Ized with WUHanf FaverRhain in the stellar role and will bo tho principal at traction at tho Stanley Theatre all next week. Tho "scenarist" was Burns Stan tic, a well known dramatic critic of New York; and Oeorgo Irving was the direc tor. One of tho big features of the pro duction Is a representation of Derby Day at Kpsom, and aside from this there are many other notable lews of scenes In and about London.
