Mies Eileen Van Biene, the daugh
ter of Auguste Van Biene, the world
famed celloist, will appear here in
the leading feminine role in Messrs.
Shuberts' producton of "Maytime" at
the Orpheum Theater, Friday and
Saturday, with Saturday matinee,
September 2G and 27.
Miss Van Biene hu been on the
stage since she was 9 years old, she
having made her debut at that age as
"Little Henirick." in her father's
production ot "Rip Van Winkle." The
play was produced in Cape Town,
South Africa, and was one of a num-.
ber which the famous celloist-pro
ducer put on in that city. A few
years later Mrs. Van Biene took her
daughter to London, where she was
educated. Then Mrs. Van Biene
went back to South Africa to join her
husband, leaving her daughter in
London. She attended school until
she was 17 years old, and then once
more appeared on the stage. Her
first real chance came when her
mother and father were co-starring
in London in "The Broketn Melody."
Mrs. Van Biene was ill lone night
and a hurry call was sent for the
stars' daughter. "The Broken Mel
ody" played 6,000 times in London,
ond Miss Van Biene, then a young
girl, appeared in the leading role
more than a hundred times.

If you don't believe that motion picture stars wear more expensive and exclusive costumes than their sis
ters of the speaking stage, it might be well for you to go and see D. W. Griffith's magnificent spectacle, "the Fail
of Babylon," when it is shown here for the first time at the Colonial Theater all next week. Kyra, the cele
brated dancng marvel will dance at each performance.
According to actual figures secured from the leading dress experts of New York, the gowns in "The Fall
of Babylon" cost more than would be required to build half of the stage productions of to-day.
The Princess Beloved, adored of Belshazzar, wears a creation of jewels and ostrich plumes said to have cost
$7,000, and at that all of the jewels are imitations. The skirt of the costume is made principally of ostrich
lumes, 145 of them to be exact, all dyed by hand in the variegated colors and shades of the Orient. Ropes of
exquisite imitation pearls, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, supplemented by wristlets, anklets, necklaces and
a headpiece make up the reminder of this eye-arresting garment. Some of the metal work is solid silver; part
of it is plated in gold. Over 0.000 jewels were used. In a modern drawing room this gorgeous costume might
seem a bit out of place. At any rate it would, by comparison, make every other garment look insigniflcent.
But in Belshazzar's palace, a structure of immense dimensons, of ancient world splendors, of prodigal luxuries,
it merely seems in keeping with its royal and bizarre surroundngs.
Another instance of Mr. Griffith's reproduction of Babylonian splendor is the trailing cape worn by this same
Princess Beloved. Sixty yards of chiffon velvet went into the making of it, on which were embroidered solid
gold butterflies measuring th£ee feet from wing to wing tip. Only one woman could do this embroidery at
one time, and it took this woman five months to complete her task. The total cost of the cape was $1,040.
Aside from these two costumes, there are hundreds of others less valuable but equally gorgeous and
startling, notably the ones worn by the High Priest of Bel, King Nabonidus, Attarea, favorite of Belshazzar;
Cyrus, King of the Persians; faborites of the harem, dancing girls at the Feast of Balshazzar, the charioteers
who take part in the sensational chariot races, ladies in waiting and others who figure in the mighty splendor
and royal luxury of the bizarre life of the ancients.
The fact that Mr. Griffith's production of "The Fall of Babylon" cost close to $2,000,000, may afford some idea
of the magnificence that figyxed in the costuming alone. More than 125,000 men, women and children take
part in the spectable.

WILLIAM HODGE IN
"THE GUEST OF HONOR"
William Hodge, the celebrated and
beloved comedian, who won undying
fame In "The Man From Home," will
be seen here for one night only at
the Orpheum Theater, Wednesday,
October 1. Mr. Hodge comes here
this season with his new play, "The
Guest of Honor," a comedy romance
of New York life, in three acts. Play
goers know now from pleasurable ex
perience that Mr. Hodge's annual ap
pearances in a new play are always a
sure tone tor the "blues," and are
certain to provoke a gale of whole
some laughter. He enjoys the en
viable record of having never been
identified with a failure. Mr. Hodge's
expert knowledge of "what the play
going public want, coupled with his
own inimitable, droll comedy char
acterizations, have always meant
success, and in his latest comedy he
is said to have the happiest vehicle

who is appearing under the direc
tion of Mr. Lee Shubert, will be sup
ported by an unusually capable com
pany of associate players.
HAHRISBTJRG TEI.EGRAPH
PARISIAN STAR WITH
GERALDINE FARRAR
Madame Rose Dlone, the former
Parisian stage star, who was forced
to ccme to America on account of
the war, will appear in the third
Gcraldine Farrar Goldwyn picture
this season. She is a striking bru
nette and an emotional actress of
considerable experience. Her specialty
has been tragedy. For the past year
she has been living quietly, learning
the ways and speech of the United
States. She is an admirer of Miss
Farrar and Dou-Tellegen, having seen
them in Paris many times. Her work
in the first Farrar picture this year
was exceptionally well done.
HAXDI.ING A PARADE CROWD
Whether a small town parade is
in the nature of a military march
or a rose festival or the celebration
of a national holiday, the crowds and
order of procedure always create a
lot of confusion. It's hard to start
the ball rolling, to organize the
throngs of men and beasts so that
they will move on their way. Director
Reginald Barker of the Goldwyn
btudios had a complicated and motely
throng to handle one morning last
week. The second Geraldine Farrar
production, as yet unnamed, has many
of its scenes in Cairo. Some nine hun
dred people take part in the worship
of the sacred rug known as the
Mahmal and they form one of the
| most interesting processions which
has ever been screened. Every Arab
and Hindoo in the vicinity of Dos
Angeles was called to the studios to
take part in the big scenes. Gerald
ine Farrar, as a British peeress, tour
ing Egypt with other tourists and
army officers, sat in a reviewing
stand to watch the gorgeous pro
cession. During the rehearsals, before
the camera was turned, a runaway
horse nearly threw its rider and had
to be broken by one of the cowboys
before he consented to follow the pa
rade in peaceable fashion, and an
other horse, drawing the carriage in
which Miss Farrar was to ride, be
came frightened and overturned the
vehicle. Fortunately, the famous star
was not seated in it at the time. The
camels seemed to take special delight
in chasing the peaceful mules, but
eventually, by the use of a special
corps of assistant directors, Reginald
Barker succeeded in handling the
enormous gathering of players and In
creating one of the most effective
spectacles which he has conceived in
the silent drama.

Washington, Sept. 25. Disclos
ures concerning the packers' war
