Griffith production of thrills i and sensations, is announced as the i special attraction at the Victoria all next week, coming direct rrom the George M. Cohen Theater, New York, i Playgoers who are familiar with Griffith's earlier triumphs, "Hearts of the World," "The Fall of Batjylon," etc., will be especially interested in this recent production, wherein the genius of Griffith is again revealed through his handling of great crowds and powerful situa|ion| True, in "The Mother and the Law," Mr. Griffith has gotten away from the smoke of battle and the scenes of combat that were so remarkably de picted in "The Birth of a Nation" and earlier works, but the new and tremendous domestic drama that he has brought nto being in this latest PERTINENT PERSONALTIES Captain Phillips Hubbard. who plays opposite Florence Turner in "Oh, It's E. Z.," her first self-directed comedy, was with the British army for two years, enlisting the first day of the war. Two years later he was invalided home because of trench feet. Captain Hubbard dramatized Rex Beach's "The Barrier" .and ap peared uas leading man in "The Auction Block," another Rex Beach story. Arthur Maude, the famous English i actor, who plays a prominent role in "Common Property," the new Uni versal feature which Paul Powell is directing, was for ten years a co star with Constance Crawley, and was three times a headliner on the Orpheum and Keith Circuits. Be sides numerous noteworthy motion picture roles, Mr. Maude also has written and directed several pic tures. Recent productions in which he has appeared include "The Blind ing Trail" with Monroe Salisbury and "The Microbe" with Viola Dana. AT THE RIGHT TIME The other night at a local picture show an egotistical young man was ] giving a very shy, diffident person ' some advice, which interested the peo ple around them. He told elaborately of his own success and then en led:: "What you have to do now is to ttlu l a little bit more about yourself and the | things you do. If a fellow doesn't ad- i vertise himself, who will, I want to ] know?" Just then a subtitle was flashed on | the screen and every one around the | two yoang men laughed heartily. It i read: A whale never gets into trouole till he begins to blow."—lndianapolis '■ News. , TOP AND BOTTOM "I'm glad I'm not a Hindu sol d," remarked the private who was always late to formations. "Why?" asked the sergeant who! was always calling him down for i that failing. "It's bad enough," responded the chronically tardy one, "to get my legs dressed for reveille, let alone wrapping an extra spiral leggin around my head."—The Spiker, A. E. F. CRAMPED "The flat suits me very well," said the prospective tenant, "but the kitchen won't do." "What's wrong with it?" asked the agent. "It seems to have been cut to fit a woman who weighed about ninety pounds. My wife weighs 200 pounds. | She's got to have a kitchen she ban bustle around in without getting jam ■ med between the sink and the gas i stove."—Birmingham Age-Herald. DIFFICULT TASK Tom—Halloa.

Car | toons Magazine. of his works will undoubtedly prove one of his most notable contributions to the screen. The cast for "The Mother and the Law" is thoroughly representative of a Griffith company. The principal players include Mae Marsh. Robert ilarron, Miriam Cooper, Ralph Lewis, Walter Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret Marsh, Tod Browning and others whose names are familiar to those j who patronize the higher form of , motion pictures. In line with his established policy of providing special music for all of | his productions. Mr. Griffith has fur- I nished an elaborate store by Louis Gottschalk. The photography by G. W. Bitzer, Mr. Griffith's chief camera man, is up to the high stand and reached in "Hearts of the World" and other superplays. SAVAGE DEVELOPS ONLY ONE "STAR" Merry little Mitzi is the only star Henry W. Savage has ever set before the public in his twenty odd years of producing for the stage although he has brought to the footlights al most every known kind of entertain ment including iiis impressive Eng lish Grand Opera presentations, drama, farce and musical comedies in great abundance. Other well known players, since grown to stellar importance, have been under the Savage management, but Mitzi, smallest in size of all the long list to play as prima donna under the Sav ! age banner, has been the only one considered to have earned her big classification as "star." FIRST -\jn MAIL STATION | Presto—we have the first United States Aerial Post Office—made by a I motion picture company. At an ex- I pense of $25,000 the Universal has taken a peep into the future and j erected the first one at Universal City, with hangar accommodations | on its roof for 100 aeroplanes. ] The set is being used in "The Winged Trail," the melodrama of the skies, starring Lieutenant O. L. ' Locklear, the only aviator who changes from plane to plane in mid air. j the set was bult under the joint | supervision of Robert Ellis of the • Universal technical department and I Pacques Jaccard, who is directing the ! feature. One hundred high-power search lights were installed on the ground | to allow the aeroplane action to be shot at night in the air. A road grading outfit, including a 1 platoon of sprinkling trucks and a ; seven-ton roller was used in the tremendous job of leveling off and hardening up 50 acres of the field, so that the fleet of planes used in "The Winged Trail" could "take off" and land without the raising of dust, a hindrance to perfect photography. "The Winged Trail" is a thrilling i story of the United tSates Air Ser | vice in 1930, and Director Jaccard, I who wrote the story, has used his J imagination freely to portray vividly i the aeroplane as it promises to be in the future. In addition to being surrounded with many of the crack ex-aviators | of the army, navy and marine corps, i Locklear Is supported by an all-star I cast with Francelia Billington aad Carmen Phillips in the leading femln- I ine roles. ; WOULD SAVE HUBBY We have a neighbor whom we knew i to be greatly devoted to her own fam- I ily. but until we had our first Cali ; fornia thunder storm, writes a friend of the Youth's Companion, we did net know that she was entirely lacking in a proper sense of humor. I heard her calling in the midst of 1 j the storm, and opened my window. "Is Mr. Hunter at home?" she said excitedly. "I had a dreadful shock I when I took down the receiver, and I '' want him to come over and put it back on the hook." "Isn't Mr. Roberts at home?" I sug gested. "Oh, yes. He Is in the garage with the boys, but you know I think it Is | very dangerous to handle the ihing, so I | I don't want to call them."—Dallas ' News. Beautiful Hershey Park Closes Sept.
