Stanten Reopens With "Over the Hill" THE eppnuiR of the big special, "Over the 11111," nt the Stnnten Theatre tonight for an indefinite run, -nhich mny extend through October, brings up the question. What about Philadelphia and the lenfj-run photoplay? Doe thH fit v Ktnml almost nlenc nmenp the big cities of the East nnd Middle Wet In the eonapleiieui ahcnre of the cxtendeU. engagements of feature pictures? A insunl Mirwy would eem te point te that fact. Maybe It Is bemuse the fans here won't Hand for pirtnres running mere than a wceli. Then. n""'" mabc tlwc fame fans haven't had the rhanee. One SundaT reernll'- the theatrical pagci of n New Yerl paper shen ed five films en Indefinite rune in legitimate houses, tne mere pli'tuic In runi 'nnginc from three te five weeks nt picture 1ieiich and another photoplay entering en itH seventh or eighth week at a big Ilroad Ilread wav film palace Bosten has nt the present time three feature phetnplnvH nt "big-time" heuMs for long inns, nnd ether pictures plavlng for tne or three weeks ntTcg ntTcg elir movie houses. The same thing applies te the ether big eitle.s. New let s get down te the situation here. 'The Four Horsemen of the Apoca Apeca Ivpfe" Is near the end of n run of mere than two, months nt the Onrrick. They charged S2 for a top price there nnd get aaay with it. In fact, they could get away with It for a month or he morn If ether booking didn't conflict. And all that In a noteriouslj bad thcntrlcnl Beaen, But, except for that picture, we leek in "vain for runs of mere tbnn the tegular week. Te he sure, the Stanley , broke a linusp rule "Anatel" Should te let "The AffalrH Race Continued sf Anatel" stay one cxtin week, but thnt fame picture, en its merits, should hnve itayed twice two weeks or mere than that. Last spring the Feirest had a short and disannuls plcime se.ispn. but the pictures chosen were, for the most part. "The. Three Musketeers." Arlles in "Disraeli," Mary 1'ickferd In "Little Lord Fnuntelrey" nnd the unfinished "Twe Orphans" of GrffTJtb. They will ceme te the seen-to-be-opened AUllne. Then there nre "Forever," the re christened "Peter Ibbctsen," "Foel's Paradise." De Mille's production of Leenard Mnrrlck's story, "The Laurels and the Lndy" ; "The Golem, " thnt weird European play which hns been se long en Ilrendway; "Justice," with William rnverfdinm. Ven Strehelm's "Foolish "Wives," n dozen or se fenturch from Fex, nil of them verging en the "niele" class ; Hex Ingram's "Conquer ing Power." based en "Kugenle Orandet" of Ilalzac, nnd scores mere, some of them net se pretentious, but all worth runs of two or three weeks. Indeed, it mould hardly seem fatr te say that theic ere net enough pictures u e) thy of long runs, hut rather that I'htladclphians ci'Mer because of their own action or because they arc unlucky have failed te see these pictures, "Over the Hill" was a revelation In Xew Yerk. N'obedj net even these, who produced the picture hnd the least 'xpcctatien or hope of the run thnt wns finally achieved nearly one solid year onTSreadwny. It lias most of the elements of popularity, and, nbove all else, heart interest. Perhaps It will upset the dope, nnd linger en at i tbe Stanten for many weeks. It is nlwnys a delight te welcome bnck te the screen nomebedv who was net of feature caliber Tim Chestnut really an honor te it, nnd who held Street, sticking almost entirely te the leve nnd nd- Griffith, nlwius did well. The Acndemy Maraucrite Clark miratien of young .. ill, "IMn .. : ... llach en screen nnd old. wntcb the crowds nt the Arcadia this week who turn out te see Marguerite Clark who chose domestic Of Music illil fnlrlv well with "Itin Vnn Winkle," which was hardly of major rank either The Stanten, then, is the first of the regular picture houses te make the ! jump. They will run Fet pictures almost entirclv and their plan Is te fellow "Over the Hill" with "A Con necticut nnkee In King Arthur's Court," nnd "The Queen of Sheba." The extent of the runs will depend ea the public reception of thu plan. There really doesn't seem te be any ihertafte of fe.iture pictures, worthy of extended runs Kirst te the mind come hnpplness te screen fame or stage fnme, and retired at the height of her iiopu iiepu lnrltv. "Scrambled Wives" mnv be n pretty wild farce it was en the stage' but It will have the Clnrk personality anyway. Incidentally, there nre many who are still hoping against almost as sured fact that Marguerite may be given the Peter Pan assignment. Fer Mnrgucritc is Peter Pan In her ctcrant eutb. "Scrambled Wives," by the wuy, is a bit Ilka "Baby Mine," which she djd ten years or mere age en the stage, nnd which Is being played in stock here this week. Magazine renders knew "Cappy UIckH" pretty well. They aie also ac quainted with peter IJ. Kj lie's charac ter of "Malt Peaslcy." who has n prom inent role In the screen version of the story which comes te the Stanley this week, with Thetnns Mclghnn ns the lead-. The picture Is one of these snlty iiramns thnt ncters, directors nnit enm era men hate se te produce, nnd the fans leve be te see. Agnes Ajres. new a star In her own right, is the leading lady. "The Wemnn In His Heuse," which comes te the Palace, has n cracker jack cast, nnvway. It sounds like one of Arthur Wing Plnere's plays, but isn't, (iareth Ilughry, Mildred IlarTls (Chaplin), Themas Helding nnd Itnm sey Wallace all appear. The unusual featuic of the picture Is thnt it was made "straight from the director's mind." There was no continuity used, ninl the sub-titles were nil written nnd put in after the picture wns done. This Is real innovation. Watch for It. With all due respect te the ether fea tures in town, It leeks as if the Vic Vic eoria had about the best show te offer. Lionel P.arrymere, who has shown the screen Its greatest example of repressed action in "The Copperhead," appears In "Jim the Penman, that old stage mele of a clever creek and his final ledemp ledemp tlen. Lionel is playing up In Hosten new in a play called "The Claw," and be may come te Philadelphia. He has net always been fortunate in his screen materials, but lie has always been the artist and the great ncter no matter what he did "Jim the Penman" Is quite n fnmllv affair, with Bnrrymer.e's wife, Deris Itnnkin, and his nephew, Arthur Hankln, In the cast. Hns any body noticed speaking of Harrymere that 13i ether Jehn has done a "picture, erlslnnllv titled "The Letus Enters." which seems te have been lest In the- bliufuc? "Passing Thru" with personable Douglas MnrliCen is nt the Regent, and "Everything for Sale." with May Mc- Avey, nt the Capitel, Thev arc the only ether first showings. The first is light comedy, the second drama giving Miss McAvev a far different rele than thnt of Orizelin "Scntlmcntnl Temmy." According te Fred O. Nlxen-Nlrd-lingcr, the Fifty-second street picture houses nnd ethers under his mnnnge ment have been favorably affected bv the paslng of davllght saving. Mr. Nird llnger attributes the lncreas-ed crowds te this rather than the natural return of vacation crowds and the resumption of the regular fall season. In fact. Mr. Nlrdllngcr calls "daylight saving" n wartime necessity which should be done awny with, but there are likely te be a geed many who dlsagne The Ambassador. Baltimore avenue between Fifty-fifth enil Fifty-sixth streets, eppiib tonight with "The Blet," n Leis Weber production, instead of "Ne Weman Knows." with Mabel Julienne Scott The latter picture will lie shown beginning next Thuridny. Scheel teachers ought te like "The Blet," because the chief character is n school tcnehcr, and her struggles nnd trials form the plot. I'nderpayment Is bit, tee' "BABY MINE" AT ORPHEUM i Stock Players Produce Margaret I Maye's Noted Farce A jump from the serious te the highly farcical is being made by the Orpheum plnjers who will present Margaret Mave's old succesx, "Baby Mine," be ginning Monday night. Ituth Robinson, Dwlght Meade nnd the ethei Meck plnyers will all have congenial roles in this hilarious talc of tlu mix-up in babies, which results when a wife tries te adept one bnb without her husband knowing it. Clean, but continuous fun Is provided from that beginning te the final scene when there nre se many bnbies that neither hus band nor wlfe nor any ether pcrben en the stnge knows what te de. 4Vr First Time at Popular Prices SPECIALLY SET SCORE BY AUGMENTED ORCHESTRA Direction by HARRY MJLLARDE SCENARIO BY PAUL H.
