Elaine Hammerstein. granddaughter of the famous Oscar Hammerstein. the
operatic impresario, who is making h ev tirst important appearance as a film
actress In the role opposite Robert W arwiek in the Selznick-Picture produe-
I lion of the great mystery story, "The Argyle Case.''
Miss Hammerstein is the daughter cf Arthur Hammerstein, who. al
though engaged in the profession of theatrical producer, did his utmost to
restrain th.> histrionic impulse whlc I". urged her toward the footlights.
Her lirst stage experience was in "The Trap," which she followed by
1 playing a leading role in "High Jinks" Then for a while she hearkened
jto the urging of her father to renounce the stage, but becoming inter
i ested in motion pictures, she soon turned her footsteps toward the cinema
studios. Aftor playing a few minor p arts she won recognition for her
I beauty, grace end talent and out of a I 1 the available leading women in New
York was selected by Harry Rapf. pre sident of Robert Warwick Film Cor

the inspiration of strenuous human
endeavor. The feuds of the primitive
bill people are touched upon lightly
and lefid virility through the tluilling
scenes of Eugene Walter's great play.
The dominant situation is that of
romantic love, and every scene is
made a rustic setting, and written in
a manner delightful. Everybody will
love Trice's June and admire
Berkley, Jack Hale and Judd.

Niitht To be able to see such
celehrities as Clllins
and Harlan, Billy Murray, Henry Burr,
i Albert Camplirll, John H. Meyer. Ves
Ossman and Theodore Morse is. in
deed. a treat that is rarely afforded.
Previous to their appearance here
they have voured the South and up the
Hudson Valley and through Southern
New England, and evervwhere they
appeared they met with the greatest
success. Henry , Burr, the second
tenor, is well known in church and
concert work as well as on records.
Another member with a beautiful
; voice is John H. Meyers, a soloist at
the Church of Incarnation. Arthur
Collins and Byron O. Harlan com
prise a team that are known from
coast to coast. It would be difficult
to tftid a team more popular than
these funmakers. Billy Murrav. the
well-known singer of comedy songs
'for the Victor Talking Machine Com

to local music lovers. The tickets for
I the Peerless Record Makers' concert
are now selling at C. M. Sigler's. Xo.

tiie act that has been breaking i ecords
everywhere, and is expected to prove
one of the biggest drawintc cards of
! the season. It is a plav of youth, of
| life, of happiness and mirth, filled with
everything that goes to make the
j stapre worth while. There are onlv
j three men in the act. all the rest are
visions of lovely femininity dressed in
' the height of fashion. The show has

ed a considerable part of their time
to telling of how America is hated,
despised and looked down upon in
foreign countries, It remained" for a
woman to place an entirely different

She declared the people of the old

democracy throughout every nation
American citizenship she defended
as a priceless boon, but asserted thai
