William Hodge and Master
Graham Lucas Win
Much Applause
Once in a very great while a
comedy romance embodying all of
the heart-gripping interest of the
drama finds its way before the
theater-loving public. And all too
infrequently does a star of the mag
nitude of William Hodge find him
self with such a vehicle to trans
port him deeper into the hearts of
his audience. Such a play was "The
Guest of Honor" as it was presented
at the Orpheunt last evening, be
fore a house which was packed to
the doors. Mr. Hodge, as John
Weatherbee, a struggling poet who
refuses to look upon the dark side
of his future, finds himself the
guardian of little Jack Weatherbee,
played by Master Graham Lucas,
one of the cleverest, lisping-est, lit
tle actors who ever bowed behind a
footlighL One of Weatherbee's

FORTUNE: LAVISHED
ON "HMD LANTERN"
I ... " '
The expenditure of a quarter of a
million dollars, costumes worth a
king's ransom and -the services of
1,200 persons, from dtreeto. - , scenario
writers ar.d art designers to an en
semble that embodied a small army
ir size represent but a part of the
tremendous outlay in money, time
and ef.'oil given by Metro to the pro
duction of "The Red Lantern." in
which the incomparable Naaimova ;
appears at the Colonial Theater all
next week.
"Th< Red Lantern" is truly colossal
when it is judged by the combination
of the supreme artistry of its bril
liant ,-tar and by the sumptuous en
vironment provided for her and lor
supporting rust. It has the added
value of being based upon one of the
most talked of novels of the decade.
"The Red lantern." a romance of the
ancient city of Pekin, from the pen
of Edith Wherry, and published by
the Bodley Head.
The total cost of producing "The
Red Lantern" was. in round figures,
$250,000. The time required to make
it was three months; eight weeks in
actual production and four weeks de
voted to elaborate research work cur
ried out by June Mathis and Albert j
Capellnni, who made the sierecn
adaptation and scenario, ir. order to
insure absolute accu'in y in the mat
ter of Chinese life and customs.
NOTED ACTRESS IN
GREAT BELASCO I*l AY
Theda Bara. most eminent of screen
vampires, will succeed a galaxy of
feminine stars of years ago in a fa- j
mous role, when she is seen at the ,
Victoria Theater to-day. to-morrow j
and Saturday as "La Belle Russe," in
the feature pictur; taken from the
play of the same name by David Be
lasco and now presented by William I
Pox.
Rose Coghlan was the first actress I
to be seen in the part when "La
Belle Russe" was produced in New
York. Then the play came under the
management of Frank L. Goodwin,
who took it on tour for two seasons
with Miss Jeffreys-Lewi? in the title
role.
Afterthat Mr. Goodwin leased the
rights to various managers and sev
eral leading women tvere seen in the
title role, including:
George Cavan, under the manage
ment of Daniel Frohman; Annie Robe,
under the management of Charles
Frohman; Effle Ellsler, under the
management of A 1 Hayman. and
Charles Frohman and Rose Stahl. un
der the management of Mr. Good
win.
Despite the wide range of actresses
who have played the part, persons
who have seen both the spoken play
and the screen drama, "La Belle
Russe," say that the work of Miss
Bara in the striking dual role reaches
the apex of emotional histrionism and
I that Miss Bara's performance fully
equals, and at points "surpasses, that
I given by the best of ner distinguished
predecessors.
I "Fattv" Arbuckle is also being
I shown in "Fatty's Busy Day."

Invites Suggestions
With the pictures already taken.,
these additional photographs will |

nearly complete as it is now possible
■to make "it. In this work Air. Ma-j
garo cordially invites suggestions,
I from those interested in perpetuat-|
j ing Harrisburg's part in the war. j
It is a monumental task, and unless!
; there is full co-operation some very
significant detail may be lacking.
In speaking of the project to a
reporter for the Telegraph. Mr.
Magaro said: "I hope the public
will not think that because I am
owner of the Regent Theater I am ;
! trying to further the interests of
my playhouse in this matter. I am
I doing it because I realize what the
| value of This record of Harrisburg's
! activities will be in the years to
j come. Think what it will mean 10,
20 or even 50 years from now to be *
..ble to show Monday's Welcome j
Home celebration on the screen.
"The Telegraph printed a picture!
this week of the arcn erected In
Market Square to welcome the boys j
| after the Civil War. It interested i
all who saw it. The same will be ]
I true of these pictures years from ,
now. They will not only show the ]
j celebration, but they are records of 1
the present buildings and the styles
jof the present time. All these minor
details appearing in the pictures
! will through the addition of years
i prove of monumental interest."
| The work on the developing of
I the scenes taken Monday of the
Welcome Home celebration was
completed yesterday and this film
will be shown to-day, to-morrow and
Saturday at the Regent Theater. In
1 view of his newly formed plans,
Mr. Magaro arranged to show at the
j same time the pictures taken when
:the 28th Division veterans returned
Jto this city. By seeing the two films

It is doubtful if any actress, let
alone one as young. lias ever played
a variety of roles that made such a
heavy demand on her versatility and
talents as those essayed by Frances
Starr, who is winning new triumphal

the Orpheum to-night. It was as the
bewitching Spanish maiden. Juanita. •
in that delightful drama of old Cali
fornea. "The Rose of the Rancho,
that Miss Starr first won recognition
as an actress of unusual promise. The
mcrning after its opening in New
York she awoke to find herself well
established on the road to fame, and
with each new role since that time \
she has strengthened that first con
viction, until to-day she stands not
