PtAVS AND PLAYERS The next progressive step in the ad vance march of the motion picture in dustry might very well be a regulation of the musical accompaniments to the pictures that are thrown on the screen. In some of tiie towns and cities where orchestras are indispensable to the movie theaters, many people are kept :t\vrty from an otherwise enjoyable pro duction by the terrible nature of the music. Cecil B. De Mille. director of the l.asky Company, is of the opinion that the old adage that half a loaf is better that none may apply to hunger, but not to motion pictures, and he has taken tip the cudgel against the automatic organ and the hoy pianist, in an effort to bring thi standard up to within speaking distance of the orchestra as it now exists for the legitimate produc tions, meaning- the stage. "Peggy" lias been draw ing enormous crowds ever since it was first released, which was just about a week or so agt,. nlid the fascinating liillie Burke is pleasing everybody with her tomboyish tricks.

"Charlie" Chaplin has signed up for SIO.UOU a week. There doesn't seem to be much doubt about It. The Mutual Film Company is the concern that has tied him up. rumor hath it. and the rumor seems to have been confirmed, llis plan, as one wag says, is to spend his nights in the vault of the Girard Trust Company, for safe keeping. "Charlie" is now "Mr." Chaplin. A mysterious exctusiveness is being maintained at the Vltagraph Hollywood Studios in tie preparation of a photo play which t is understood has been written by Jack London.

Albert Spalding, the great American violinist, believed bv many authorities to be the foremost violinist in this coun try. will come to the Orpheum Theatei •in Friday. Maxell 17. assisted by Loretta Uel Yalle. the well-known prima donna. It will be of great interest to Harris burg theatergoers to have the opportu nity of comparing the coming artist with Mischa ESlman and Fritz Kreisler, both of whom delighted audiences in llarrishurg earlier in the season.
