VARIED BLLS IN PHOTOPLAY AND VAUDEVILLE
iTOPICS OF INTEREST
Norma Talmadgo as a Screen
Innovator Some New
Wrinkles
I
CLASSIFYING THE "VAMP"
Norma Talmadge, although he 1 one
of the youngest of the big stars at the
head of her own corporation, has been
responsible for many innovations in the
fjlm world.
One of them is her own persona)
photographer, who has his studio on her
premises and is ready at any time to
make photographs of this beautiful Se
lect star for magazines and newspaper
publicity. It is also his duty to make
'the "ttills" of the various productions.
MUs Talmadge's extensile wardrobe nt
fae picture studio admits of many
changes. Her make-up table for dif
ferent characterizations is always at
hand.
Another department Miss Talmadge
has established at the studio whicb im
proved an aid is a permanent research
.department, whose business it is to
look after accuracy of detail. Miss Tal
madge will be seen in her latest Se
lect picture, "The Way of a Woman,"
at the Stanley next week.
- Under the direction of R. William
Keill and supported by carefully se
lected players, Catherine Calvert ap
'pelrs in the Paramount-Artcraft pic
ture, "The Career of Katherine Bush."
which will be shown next week at the
Arcadia. This, is the photoplay adapta
tl6a of Elinor Glyn's novel of the same
name, the scenario having been written
by Catherine Stuart.
Discrimination was exercised in the
to
i
e,,...- u. ..... .-- r. i
baa Been unaer way lor neariy icu
days and virtually all the minor scene
had been filmed before Miss Calvert's
leading man was selected.
The word "vampire" Is in danger of
becoming one of the most abused or mis
used words in the English language.
Used in its movie application it sign
ifies, of course, an adventuress of no con
science who seeks to win a man's love
from motives of revenge, of cupidity or
of inordinate vanity.
The injustice of the application is
manifest when the woman concerned
Is merely a flirt because' nature made
her a lively, fun-loving girl of good
Viw Kt--n rtf or-il intent tnivnrd tllf
sman 'she attracts, even though she i
would not marry him. In other words
she is a fool, but not a criminal.
Upon the stage and in tho motion
picture the genuine vampire has held a
position for years. No vampire of the
screen ever has approached Theda Bara
a most estimable and amiable woman
In private life in depicting characters
' of this sort. But in her latest photo
play, "A Woman There Wa," she
enacts the role of an impassioned South
Sea Island princess who is far from a
Tgrnpire though she strives desperately
to win the love of a white man. This
picture will be the feature ncit week
at the Victoria

AN IMPROMPTU SCENE
Camera Man Is Quick on the Crank.
In "Mickey"
There is one scene in "Mickev." now
on view at the Forrest, which was not
called for in the scenario, but as the
situation was funny, the camera-man
snapped the scene and it was put in the
pictuje. The particular scene was en
acted when Mabel Normand was dust
ing a chair, which was part of her dut
as a servant in her aunt's elaborate
home. In her hurry in getting around
Mabel tiipped over a rug which landed
her head-first against a tall hall clock
and as the clock was not fastened to
the floor it began to start on its way to
the floor lengthwise. "Mickey" was
quick to realize that to let it fall would
mean the smashing of the timepiece and
quickly got to her feet and braced her
self against the side of the clock, where
she used all her strength to hold the
clock up until the butler in the scene
came rushing to her rescue and righted
the clock. The camera-man, being on
the alert, realized that it would make
a good action s.ccne and filmed it and it
wa put in the picture.
"IDEAL" AT GRAND
Trick and Fancy Aquatics Are Her
Specialty
Ideal, fancy swimmer and diver of
the world, who is at the Nixon Grand

turesque and out of the ordinary by
the stage setting. In the course of her
performance she introduces tricks of
fancy diving, including a number of
aquatic stunts that are of her own
creation and that are performed by no
other swimmer.

PICNICS AT WOODSIDE
Edna Wallace Kinney to Be New
Soloist
Woodside Park is now at the zenith
of its season and the number of picnics
and excursions which are daily in evi-
dence at this popular resort is a
striking illustration of the position
it occupies among the pleasure seekers
of Philadelphia and vicinity. The sea
son, which will close about the middle
of September, has been the most suc
cessful in the history of the park, and in
spite of the wet weather during the
summer, the standard of attendance
has been fully maintained. This Is
largely due to the many amusements
which have been added this year and
also to the varied and interesing at
tractions offered to pntrons.
Rodin's Concert Band continues its
concerts. Conductor Hodia has several
novelties in iew. Gertrude Mac
Donnell has won a host of new friends
v:ith her sieging. She will close her long
engagement Friday night when Edna
Wallace Kinney will be the soloist.
Fireworks will be continued as a Friday
night feature.

leased From Musical Comedy
When Weber and Fields abandoned
their prospective tour in "Back'Again,"
Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman were
released for vaudeville and they will be
at Keith's the coming week In a new ,
bong sketch, "A Ray of Sunshine." At
the close of a short vaudeville tour this
couple will be featured in a musical pro
duction. Clark and Bergman gained their rep
utation in vaudeville and then entered
musical comedy, where their success
continued until they are recognized us
among the most popular of the younger
stars of the stage. For their return to
the two-a-day they have staged an ex
ceedingly elaborate vehicle. Up at the
Thousand Islands, about two miles
northeast of Alexandria bay, on a bend
just above the main channel of the St.
Lawrence, is a "hide-a-way." There,
built into a tree, is a unique, "comfy"
and picturesque little house. This is
the scene Clark and Bergman use in "A
Ray of Sunshine." A pretty young
miss has lost her way and the meeting
with an attractive joung man Is respon
sible for songs, stories and dances which

NAZIMOVA A BLONDE
IN NEW PHOTO DRAMA
"The Red Lantern," Billed for
Stanley, Boxer Revolt
'Story
In variety of theme, wealth of cos
tume, direction, setting and lighting,
"The Red Lantern," Mme. Nazlmova's
latest photodrama, which will be the
feature at the Stanley the week of
August 23, Is said to excel any pic
ture she has offered. "The Red Lan
tern" affords Nazlmova with a role of
emotional display. The settings are
mainly Chinese, and provide the atar
with a background both picturesque
nnd quaint. The plot, adapted for
the screen by Juno Mathls and Albert
Capellanl from Edith Wherry's novel
of Pekln In the dffys of the Boxer
uprising. Is a story of great sweep and
power, pained in bold colors.
In "The Bed Lantern," Mahlce, the
Eurasian girl, who becomes to the
Chinese what Joan of Arc was to
France, Is the outstanding, compelling
figure. Some of the poignant quality
of Cio Cio San In "Madame Butterfly"
is Mahlee's; but she Is also the war
rior woman, leading her yellow compa
triots in battle against the Euro
peans in the stormy days of the Boxer
rebellion in 1000. Nazlmova, however,
does more than play Mahlee. She has
a dual role. In addition, Nazlmova
plays Blanche Sackville, aristocratic
daughter of the English diplomat whose
"Chinese wife" was Mahlee's mother.
As Blanche Sackville, Nazlmova ap
pears for the first time on the screen
as a blonde.
