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. In this story she shocks a God
fearing Scotch community with her
wild pranks, and the comedy Is said to
be very entertaining. It will probably
reach this city eventually.
"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. Little more
is known ab>ut it except that William
Duncan, star of "The Chalice of Coin
age," will probably play the lead.
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

repudiated in her second production, 1
; "The Temptation," and those who saw
1 her splendid performance as the halt
wild gypsy in the production of :
"Carmen" will receive an agreeable
surprise. As the struggling young
opera singer in love with the penniless
composer, Miss Farrar shows the lov
able side of her wonderful character.
To-morrow and Thursday Daniel i
i l'rohman presents Mary Plckford in
"The Foundling." on tlie Paramount
' program.
I A number of very human touches are
| skillfully contained in this feature and
delicately suggested by the boundless |
art of Mary Pickford. When, as the '
; castaway, after years of hardship and
i suffering, of loneliness and destitution,
she crosses the path of her father, i
from whom she had been separated slncfe ;
babyhood, the drama reaches one of '
its most tender climaxes. And when
the father, who had loved his wife so
greatly that he sent their child away
when its birth robbed the mother of
her life, looks down Into the eyes of
the daughter, for whom in after years
he had longed and yearned, and asks
her if she could forgive a daddy who ■
had been so cruel to her. she not realiz
ing yet that this man Is her own father,
i replies. "I could forgive anybody any
i thing if I only had a daddy."
Society weakm-ss and their effect on
! a young, impressionable girl who later.
when she reaches :
"Mariiuerltr nnd the full stature of ,
Wiirrrn" Krrrlicnn womanhood. real- !
at Victoria the hollowness of
it all. and does her 1
best to make amends for her foolish- j
ness. is the story by Roy I». McCardell, |
underlying the big Equitable feature.
"The Question," which is appearing at
the Victoria Theater to-day. with Mar
guerite Leslie in tlie stellar part. Intent
, upon her social pleasures, she marries
a man who loves children, and the dis
astrous results of her preferring dogs.
I cards, parties,, and other allurements |
l of a society existence, to the normal |
existence of a home with a loving fam- |
I il>. are presented. Her awakening to a
realization of the evil she has wrought
through her selfishness, and her brave
acceptance of its results, with her su
preme effort at recovering the beau
ties of life which she has cast away, j
give the star an opportunity for some
intense dramatic work. Warren Ker- j
| rigan, a handsome and talented screen j
; artist, will be presented in the startling I
: "Adventures of O'Rourke."
[ At the Family Theater, Third and |
