PI.AYS AND PLAYERS
Annette Kellermann, star of the Wil- |
liam Fox million-dollar picture which
is being made in the West Indies by \
Director General Herbert Brenon, has
swum a distance ,of approximately
fifty-six miles since -work on the pic
ture was begun last August. The pic
ture, however, is not one of aquatic
scenes alone.
For the first time in the American
entertainment world Anna Held and
her well-known daughter, Lianne Car
i"ra, appear together for the benefit
of the theatergoing public. Tn "Madame
La Presidente." the Morosoo-Paramount
photoplay just released, in which Anna
Held makes her screen debut, the tal
ented daughter of the French comedi
enne also appears on the screen for the
first time.
Kenneth Hill. In the company of;
"[•"air and 'Warmer" at the Kltinge
Theater, New York, was the original
"English Eddie" in "Within the Law,"
and last season made a great success
in "It Pays to Advertise."
Pallas Players on an adventuresome j
trip in the San Bernardino mountains,
experienced a number of hairraising
adventures. one of which, a rather sad
one. we here recount:
"While Dustin Farnum was tramp
ing along through the deep snow on
the way to a location, one of the prop
bovs who was trudging alongside of
him kicked something that gave in to
the force of the blow. A hasty brush
ing aside of the snow- revealed the body
of a man who had been caught in the
storm and frozen to death. 'Dirsty'
« arried the body and assisted in mak
ing the crossing of a brook grown ,)
'dangerous by the Hood water. 'A sad
feature of the affair." said Farnum I
back at the studios, 'was the poor
woodsman's sweetheart, who had Jour- |
neyed on foot up the six-mile trail on |
hearing of the tragedy.' "
The dangers of the pliotoplayer's art I
n*-e very real and numerous, as Web- i
ster Campbell, of the Western Vita
graph Players, will testify. During i
the photographing of a three-part fea- |
lure at Truckee under William Wol-{
bert's direction. Mr. Campbell fell
through the ice of the rapid river and
was swept sixty feet under water to 1
an air hole, to whose edges he clung
until the frightened company rescued j
liim more dead than alive.
LOCAL THEATERS
"The Rlrth of a Nation"
In his great spectacle. "The Birth of
a Nation," D. W. Griffith utilized a full ;
operatic score for the first time In Its
i r lationship to the enlargement of bis -
\ dried themes. It is the Wagnerian
Idea fitted to the screen drama and
the synchronization was so perfectly!
adapted to this story that it becomes
a very important part of the epic form ,
SATURDAY EVENING, , HARIUSBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 12, 1916.
of narrative. The score was arranged
by Joseph Carl Breil. who spent months
with Mr. Griffith while he was making
the picture and caught his ideas in
snatches of tune that Griffith would
hum while he was working out his
big dramatic ideas. It is perhaps the
most unusual score ever devised but is
a wonderful feature in the production.
This spectacle will be seen for one week
at the Orpheum Theater beginning next
Monday with matinee daily.
William Vaughan Moody's famous
American play, "The Great Divide," the
story of a real East-
Western ern girl's hatred
Homnncr I* and eventual love
YH-torln Offering; for an untamed
rough character of
the West, which is well remembered
as the play in which Henry Miller and
Margaret Anglin starred successfully

to be made to motion picture fans at
the Victoria Theater. The play has
been produced in five acts by the Lubln
Company with House Peters and Ethel
Clayton in the roles formerly played by .
Mr. Miller and Miss Anglin.

"The Wood Nymph" during the first
three days of the next week. Miss Doro. i
who is a Duncannon girl and always
welcome In Harrlsburg. will play the !
part of Daphne, a child of the forest. :
There are some beautiful classic danc
ing scenes in the heart of a great for

Travel With Hone
One of the most interesting features
of the remarkably instructive and en
tertaining program of pictures in the
famous Lyman H. Howe Travel Fes
tival that was shown to two big houses 1
at the Orpheum yesterdav will be re- !
peated to-night without CTiange of pro
gram, is the logging scene in the Italian !
Alps. Giant logs, formed into huge
rafts, arc piloted by skilled navigators
with long sweeps down the rushing tor
rents of the Italian Alps. The revela
tion of the movements of animals,
where the pictures are run in such a
way that the animals are seen to
move at only one-eighth of their regu
lar speed, caused much amusement and .
speculation. Every detail of the work
ings of the muscles and the unusual
grace of movement is splendidly
brought out. Then. too. there are j
scetfes in Holland. Scotland, our own
Glacier National Park, and a visit to
the plant of the Willys-Overland Com- 1
pany at Toledo. Ohio, showing the com
plete manufacture and asemhllng of the
parts of their automobiles. In addition,
of course, there are the really scream-
ingly funny cartoon pictures, which
kept the audience in a constant gale of j
laughter.
The attraction at the Regent to-day \
is "Kilmeny," an exquisite gypsy love j
story, starring Ignore
A Oypsj- V'lrich, of "Bird of Para- i
l.ove Story dise" fame, presented by j
Is ••Kilmeny" the Oliver Morosco Co.
on the Paramount pro
gram.
Imagine with what deli<rht a wood
land sprite of a girl, who has grown up
all her life with gypsies would have
in pushing the "on" and "off" buttons
of an electric light switch in a city
mansion when sne saw it for the lirst
time at the age of 16! Above all things
don't fail to see how Lenore Ulrieh falls
in tlie bathtub. Myrtle Stedman and
Herbert Standing appear in the cast.
Monday and Tuesday "The Reform j
Candidate," which stars the celebrated !
American actor. Maclyn Arbuckle, will
be presented by Pallas Pictures on the
Paramount program.
"The Reform Candidate" is running
for mayor against the political machine
headed by "Boss" Hoke, the latter pro
viding a stellar role for the return to
the film of the widely-beloved Maclyn
Arbuckle.

Only Three Inches Above
Ankle Is Toledo's Limit
Special to the Telegraph
Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 12. Council
man Stanley Kryzsniak has prepared
an ordinance to be introduced next
Monday providing line and imprison
ment for women wearing- in the street
outer skirts higher than three inches
above the ankle.
Kryzsniak originally drafted the bill
to read "one inch above shoe tops,"
but changed it when he noted the
height of present day shoes.
"High skirts are bad for the
morals," says Kryzsniak. Women who
have heard of the ordinance have set
up clamorous opposition to it.

.
One of the most brilliant affairs of
i this season will be the concert of
Thursday evening, February 17, in
Technical auditorium, for the benefit
of Sylvan Heights Orphanage. The
principal artist will be Mary S. Warfel,
the American harp virtuoso, assisted
by her most talented pupil. Margaret
M. Vaughn, of this city, who will at
this concert make her initial appear
ance to the public of Harriaburg. Miss
Warfel has already had the experience
lof several master minds, under the
; rigid tutelage of Heinrich Schuecker,
I Carlos Salzedo and Ada Sassoli, names
most esteemed in musical circles. Miss
! Warfel has spread her fame both
I abroad and in America. As a soloist
she has won laurels in New York. The
exceptional technique, the ease, as well
as the depth of soul power displayed
by Miss Warfel, show that she is a
perfect master of her instrument.
I With such an able and intelligent in
j structor. a real lover of music eagerly
| awaits the presentation of another am
| bitious harpist. This we have in the
I person of Miss Marsarct Vaughn. The
latter has made a study of the harp for
! several years. While quite small Miss
I Vaughn showed marked talent and
real interest. In later years, during
( her college career at St. Joseph's Col
lege, Emmitsburg, Md., such zeal and
love of this instrument prompted her
| teacher to permit the rendition of a
j harp recital. Such a rarity was highly
I appreciated by the student body of
! this college. So successful were the
results that upon the request of Pro
fessor Fritz Gaul, a noted composer
and musical director of Baltimore, Md.,
Miss Vaughn rendered a harp solo on
the day of receiving her degree of
bachelor of arts, in June, 1914. Since
then her incessant desire to become a
skilled artist has been constantly in
i creasing until now her excellent abili
ties characterize her as an accom
■ plished artist. Her sound musician
ship and wonderful depth of feeling
make her playing delightful and
; charming.

| An interesting trio effect of the even
i ing will be the presentation of Edwin
I Hart, of Washington. D. C., with his
I two sons, Edgar and Leland Hart. Ed-
I win Hart, a former resident of Harris
: burg, but now professor of Columbia
Conservatory of Music, will accompany
! his sons in their various selections,
i Edgar Hart is one of those violinists
! who captures his audience imme
i diatcl.v. Mr. Hart studied abroad for
' several years and since his return has
, proved himself one of the most promi
j nent musicians. He was for several
| seasons leader of Van Osten's orches
] tra and since then has filled several
j engagements with New York opera
| companies. Mr. Hart's execution is
j faultless and his tonal quality full and
| broad, with a decided resemblance to
the Kubelik schooling. A pleasing
! characteristic of the young man is his
; absolute composure and self-con
fidence.
Iceland Hart, a brother, is a cellist
of note. The really wonderful ability
j with which Mr. Hart manages his bow,
together with the charming personality
of the young man, have won for hini
his place in the musical world.
The vocal selections of Mrs. Mervin
! Tremble, formerly Miss Carrie Comp
ton. of this city, with Miss Myrtle
i Dornbaugh as piano soloist, will bo
another Interesting feature of the even
ing. Mrs. Tremble's musical abilities
1 have formerly won for her much ap
i plause. Her wonderful expression,
volume and clearness of tone charm
the most delicate ear. Too much
, praise cannot be given Harrisburg's
brilliant piano soloist. Miss Myrtle
i Dornbaugh, whose musical abilities are
i winning her exceptional honors. Miss
Dornbaugh made her debut in a recitiil
l in the Spring of 1915. Since then she
; has appeared in several select con
certs, exhibiting to the appreciative,
audiences her case of manner and fine
execution, together with the marked
j expression displayed in her various
selections. These attributes always
; distinguish Miss Dornbaugh as the
I true artist. —Adv.
