It was during his younger years, as an art student, that Mr. Tellegen gathered the material for the story of "Blind Ycuth." The tale relates how a young artist, left in Paris by his American mother, falls into the clutches of an adventuress. Finding his love false, he takes to drink and onlv the story of a fellow-artist brings him to his senses and sends him to America. There he finds regeneration through a lovely American girl.

Thedn Barn greatest of vampires, in In "Salome" her greatest dramatic! effort, is the mammoth i attraction at the Victoria Theater all i next week. Five thousand players were , e ""l gaged for this superb picture. Eight | hundred artisans alone were employ- j ed in building a reproduction of the j ancient city of Jerusalem, this being j one of several replicas on a grand) scale. Salome's bath of costly marble I and the palace of the King Herod are said to be triumphant examples of | Judean splendor. The peacock foun tain in Salome's boi>doir, also, is ; shown, having been modelled after an j old Biblical print. Of modern signifi cance is the reproduction of the Gate of Jaffa, through which recently . marched the victorious Britains under _ command of General Allenby. Some idea of the fundamental ex pense involved in staging "Salome" may be gained from these items: Two hundred loads of sand were hauled from the beaches to build the streets of Jerusalem: 500,000 feet of lumber were consumed.
