MOVIEGRAMS OF THE WEEK
What Is the Matter With the Leng-Run Photoplay in Philadel
phia? 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

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
