MOVIES VS. POLICE REPORTING AND LINOTYPEjyiACHINE WORK Ruth Blair, Star of "The Fourth Estate," Gets More Thrills Than Sarah Bernhardt; Likes the Newspaper Game Tluth Blair, the pretty girl of the famous newspaper play, "The Fourth Estate," says the newspaper business Is almost as exciting: as the movies. The youngest star of the William Fox forces was given every opportunity to find out just how exciting the news paper game might be during the film ing of "The Fourth Estate," for the Breat scenes of the play were actually taken in a newspaper plant, the Chi cago Herald, during the getting out of the paper. "I'd rather be the police reporter or run a linotype machine," Miss Blair chose soberly, after going all through the plant, bobbing her yellow curls into the pressroom, and filching a T>lue pencil as a souvenir from the city editor's desk. "A linotype machine is as fascinating as a moving picture camera," she declared. "It clickety clieks and there is the whole record of e day spread out into letters, just as the camera puts them into pictures. But the man who runs a linotype must get rather bored sitting in a corner and making little metal letters go clickety ellck into lines. So I don't know but what I'd rather be a police reporter and see things. "You know I went into the moving picture business because I wanted ad venture," she admitted naively, open ing her big brown eyes widely and Kazlng abstractedly Into space. "1 was born in a little town in Pennsylvania where there wasn't much to see or do, and I was crazy to go on the stage and to travel and see things. So I ■went on the stage, but there wasn't very much to be seen there—did vou Itol The Telegraph Bindery Will Rebind Your Bible Satisfactorily FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 28, 1916 ever do one-night stands? No? Well, you saw the railroad station and the hotel and the theater, and you could never recall the name of the town you were in. They all looked alike. One night. stands!" "But the movies! Cowboys and prairies, and Indians and soldiers, warß and strikes and horeback rides, and races in automobiles, and fires and runaways and leaps for life, and ro mances!" (Miss Blair sighed an ec static sigh just here.) "Then one week it is Chicago, and another month it may be the Pacific Coast or New Jer sey. I haven't had a dull moment since I've been in moving pictures. One could play a whole lifetime on the stage without crowding as much ex perience as I have in any month in the movies. I bet you 1 get more thrills than Sarah Bernhardt or Billle Burke, and I expect when I've been acting for the films a few years longer that I will have done about everything a movie heroine is supposed to do. There is the submarine and the aero plane. two experiences I haven't tried yet. But I've done ever so many in teresting things. Adventure! I don't believe that even the newspaper police reporter lias done as many queer things in his line of business as I have in mine." Miss Blair's newspaper predilections are natural enoijgli, for she has sev eral newspaper men In the family. "My father ran a country paper," she admitted, "just a weekly, where nothing much ever happened, and per haps that's why I grew up wanting to have something doing' if T had to make the news myself!"

PLAYS AND PLAYERS "Avaunt. flve-reelers, the public pre fers short, crisp plays," says H. M. llorkhelmer, the Balboa manager. He believes in concentration of the long reels into two or three short ones on the ground that the majority of the long pictures lag in Interest. Perhaps In the main the statement is true, but Just the same we certainly have enjoy ed a great many of these "long-drawn out" kind. The president of the Sellg Polyscope Companany prophesies that within the next few years the motion picture camera will have been installed In every schoolhouse. Films teaching na tural history, botany, science, methods of horticulture, the birth of a flower, and all manner of Instructive films will, in his opinion, be one of the most mod ern and effective means of inculcating knowledge into the minds of the young. "Under Fire," Roi Cooper Megrue's war drama now at the Park square Theater in Boston, had three of the theater's boxes filled with distinguished guests at a performance last week, when the officers from the three In terned German ships In Boston harbor came up to see how their country fared at the playwright's hands. The captain of the Kronprinzessen Cecille wrote to Mr. Megrue, after the performance, that his representation of the German forces was admirable. Still another company of Robert Mc- Laughlin's sensational play, "The Eter nal Magdalene." which Selwyn and Company presented for 100 perform ances at the Forty-eighth Street Thea ter, New York, has gone into rehearsal and will start a six months' tour to the Far West on January 31, with Flor ence Roberts in the role of the curious, haunting, brilliant -woman who figures so baffllngly and so effectively in the play. This is not the company which will play In Harrisburg next Tuesday night, February 1. Miss Roberts says that the role of "The Woman" in "The Eternal Magda lene" is one of the most powerful she has had in years, and that she antici pates her appearance in the new play in the West almost as keenly as if she had never before been west of Jersev City. LOCAL THEATERS Four Good Shows In Five Days The Orpheum will completely outdo itself In the matter of attractions at that popular playhouse next week. A succession of productions has been booked that heretofore has not been equalled even at the flood-time of le gitimate plays. On Monday evening, Grace La Rue, In a "Costume Song 'Recital In Eng lish." will present a program that is said to he masterly In selection and ar rangement. Miss I-a Rue Is following the path of musical aspiration trod by Mary Garden and Geraldine F'arrar. Tuesday evening "The Eternal Mag dalene" will be the attraction. This play, from the pen of Robert McLaugh lin. caused much comment in New York. The scenes of the play are laid in a fair-sized American city that is troubled with the vice question. The man who makes possible in the play the driving out or vice from the city Is brought by a woman to the realiza tion that he Is not fitted to pass judg ment upon his fellows. Wednesday, matinee and night, the musical comedy and melange of danc ing called "Nobody Home," will in all probability play to a large crowd. This much advertised show, with Its wealth of music, comedy and dancing, the company of which is owned and direct ed by John P. Slocum. Is sure to find a hearty welcome In Harrisburg. Friday evening John Colt will pre sent his great success. "The Princess Pat," hook and lyrics by Henry Blos som. music by Victory Herbert.

Holbrook Blinn, who Is starring in the one-day production at the Vic toria. "Life's Wliirl (Shnntlj- pool," is the redeeming Production at feature of the five-act tlie Victoria reel, which critics say presents possibilities for wonderful characterization as well as dramatic and decidedly human situa tions. Holbrook Blinn and Fanla Marl noff have been exceptionally well chosen for their parts, the former as an ex -1 tremely brutal man and the latter as 1 his miserly wife. The Philadelphia i Press says of this picture: "So far as 1 direction, realism, consistency of detail and camera effects go, this production is faultless, but it is a ghastly thing. ' showing the seamy side of life In all 1 its sordidness, and squallor—and then 1 some." Of importance on the Colonial's splen did current Triangle offering is the so ciety drama, entitled William S. "Between Men," a Hart In Thomas H. Ince pro "Betwen Men" duct that stars William S. Hart, of importance on the Colonial's splen- House Peters, Knid Markey and sev eral others. A comedy feature is the unusual Triangle comedy called "Dar ing Hearts and Dizzy Heights." in which some notable aeroplaning is done. Chester Conklin. who has been featured in several very clever com . edies, carries away the stellar role with 1 honors In this feature. This attraction ■ tells the story of Wall Street intrigue and physical combat. Brief snapshots show the unsuccessful lover success ful in ruining the girl's father, but not In winning the girl's love. It happens that the girl's father turns to an old time friend, William S. Hart, a suc cessful mining man of the West, for aid. This Is where the distinguished player of Western roles is seen to ex cellent advantage in Broadway. Mean while, the daughter has grown to be a charming young woman. Love affairs at this point reach tne boiling point, as well as business affairs, and how everything turns out must be left to the spectator.

Mechanicsburg Carpenter Injured by Falling Tree Special to the Telegraph Mechanicsburg, Pa., Jan. 28. —Oliver G.
