OJ^ICE a harmless ailment of the picture business, Egomania, a condition of swelled'headed braggadocio, has become so

' chronic that it threatens to be no longer harmless. Super-

ficial as it is, it is seeping the vitality of our photoplays.

What is this "Egomania," you as\?

It is the mental perversion which causes the star, and the sta^s

press-agent, and the stars whole family, and all the stars acquaint-

ances, to lie about everything that is the stars. If he buys a couple of pups, he has acquired a \ennel; a modest home in the country assumes the proportions of the Little Trianon; three suits are a ward-

robe; a runabout is an imported car; one maid and a chauf- feur become, in the public prints, a baronial retinue of servants.

Egomania is the pathetically hmnorous stuff and bluff which

causes producers to lie to each other, each knowing that the other is

lying. It is the thing which never permits anything less than a mil-

lion dollars to be mentioned in an announcement. It is the habitual

prevarication which has made it almost impossible for the exhibitor—

the great go-between — to believe anything some manufacturers tell

him in advertisements or personal correspondence. It is the cheap lac\ of appreciation which permits every hum-drum mile of sun- spoiled celluloid to be heralded and described with adjectival splendor that an honest man would hesitate using on "Hamlet."

They didn't stand her in very good stead; "Of this department," replied Emma they were about as useful, indeed, as an open fire would be in The young man stood up and bowed the Sahara.

In the majority of places where she called she was received with a disinterested shrug of the shoulders and dis- missed with the none too cordial promise that a postcard would be sent her when a vacancy occurred. By four o'clock in the afternoon Emma was out in the suburbs. Her hopes were not so high then, which was perhaps clue to the fact that she had allowed the luncheon hour to glide by without acknowl-

edging it in the customary way. Emma, as a plain matter of fact, was considerably depressed. Finding a job, she told herself, was about as easy as casually strolling through the eye of a needle Wasn't it the limit? Wasn't it enough to make a girl break down and sob in the street? Wasn't

"Fresh Pot. of Coffee and Scone, ioc." So said the violent- ly colored placard. Ten cents, mused Emma. Ten cents, with milk at a nickel a pint and scones not much more than a dim but delightful memory of a period almost as far back as the stone age. This looked good enough to be further investi- gated. Emma took twelve rapid paces forward. She was feeling better already. It was a big establishment. Moreover,

it was very crowded. There were little stalls dotted about the floor, and above each was a tin sign which advertised the fixed price of the articles below. From somewhere in the basement came the metallic tinkling of a piano. Emma did quite a lot of thinking as she wrestled with a somewhat leathery scone. It wasn't the

success she expected it to be, whilst the coffee might easily have been passed off as

licorice water. Still, it helped to stimulate her. She was almost buoyant as she de- scended to the basement. It was fitted out in fair imitation of a

No Revolution Here!

glided on the screen with her easy grace, her slow sensuousness. SHEShe raised her arched eyebrows ever so little; she curled her pro- voking red mouth; one ringed hand was on her smooth silken hip. She was, the audience suspected, a vampire—that is, she would have been a vampire if "they hadn't "gone out" a year ago. As it was, she made a first-class siren; and the masculine element of the audience sat forward. As for the women—they couldn't help liking her, somehow. "Suppose she's Russian?" asked a flapper of her escort. "Or French, maybe." "Naw," was the reply, "she's Spanish. Don't you know how they discovered her? Why, she was a Spanish dancer, and— A demure little girl in a box above the whispering couple smiled a little. She looked up at the screen where this Spanish lady in question was surely but subtly proving that Thecia Bara, while effective, didn't know the half about vamping; and Valeska Suratt had a lot to learn about love. Then she considered herself. She was a little above the medium height, with glossy black hair and glowing brown eyes and a red, red mouth. She wore a simple tailored suit and hat —she didn't look a bit sirenic. And if she hadn't been a modest young lady she would have patted herself upon her shapely back. For she was the vamp of the screen—Estelle Taylor; and she wasn't S3f£$i Spanish, or French, nor yet Russian. She was plain eastern-American—born in Wilmington, Delaware, to be disillusioningly exact. For once Mr. Fox overlooked a good bet. You see he could have advertised her as a lady from On the screen Russia—who fled from revolution—and put her sne s a most con- over.

And having conquered this triple characteriza- tion, she was a full fledged prospective star, without benefit of foreign birth or artistic antecedents or anything like that. Ever since she could remember, she has wanted to act. She went to dramatic school for a while but left it to join "Come On, Charlie," a musical comedy. Then she joined the films, doubling for over a year! Of course if you can stick at it you're in a fair way to become acquainted with casting and other directors. Which was precisely what happened to Estelle. As it turned out she jumped right into leads. Did one with George Walsh for Fox. She had the leading roles in "While Now York Sleeps" and "My Lady's Dress." Just as soon as she finished work in her first two big pictures, what do you suppose she did? She went home to Wilmington, Delaware, to visit the folks! "

Perhaps that is why she was chosen from the clamor- - ' the j ing thousands to play the title role in "The Queen of Sheba, When the spectacular Fox production now being filmed. But I suppose my thoughts of Betty must always be a bit reminiscent. We were "kids together.'" We went to our first dances and evening parties together. And talked all night after we got home.

PERHAPS we'd better put those two words in quotation marks. "Foolish Wives" seems to be justifying the press agents' dreams. Universal City has been torn up by the production of that name, and stupendous cost-figures in connection with its production are not out of place. Here is a motion picture actually costing every cent that is claimed. Monte Carlo—which everyone knows could never be permitted anywhere save on the Naughty Isle of Monaco—has been reproduced elaborately out in California, and it is said that the cost will run up around the half million mark. The group of settings is composed, most importantly, of The Plaza, constructed at Uni- versal City, the famous Ocean Terraces, at Monterey, Calif., costing over $80,000, The Count's Villa, approximating $20,000 and the vil- lage of La Turbie, clinging to the steep cliffs overlooking the sea.

The scenes of Conrad's renewal of his acquaintance with Mrs. Adaile, and her discovery of him dozing in his chair the night which was to be devoted to the renewal of their most ardent youth, are splendidly done. There is much beauty in the pictures, and distinction in the playing. The cast in- cludes Margaret Loomis, Sylvia Ashton, Kathlyn William?, Mabel Van Buren and Mayme Kelso.

THE SONG OF THE SOUL—Goldwyn

""THE pathos is a little strained in "The Song of the Soul." and * not always logically achieved, but it is in many respects a beautiful picture. The assumption that a blind mother, after looking upon the face of her child, would voluntarily return to blindness to save her husband the shock of having her see his scarred features, or that because his features were marred she would cease to love him for the noble qualities of heart and soul he commanded, is not a convincing denouement. Xor is the husband's frequently reiterated fear that with her sight restored his wife would immediately be impelled to leave him inclined to strengthen one's admiration for his character. But the scenes in themselves are holding and well played, especially

by Vivian Martin as the blind girl. The background, which is that of the everglades of Florida, is picturesque but excessively damp. It is not, as the camera catches it, either an attractive or a healthy place to live. Were I a Florida real estate -agent I should feel like bringing suit for damages against the pro- ducers. This swampy, alligator-infested setting, combined with the uncomfortable feeling one gets from constantly visualizing "Nomads of the North" is the newest of the James Oliver the hidden scar on the hero's face, does not provide a happy Curwood series of Northwest stories.

John Noble is responsible for both the scenario and the direction, the story

being taken from William J. Locke's "An Old World Romance." The cast is adequate and the baby a delight.

THE SINS OF ROSANNE—ParamountArtcraft

THIS new Ethel Clayton picture varies the monotony by be- ing unusual—unusual in locale, which is that of a diamond mine settlement in Kimberley, S. A.; unusual in story, which relates the adventure of a young woman who was brought under the influence of a Malay "witch doctor" in her infancy, cursed with a love of diamonds and given an abnormal power of hi ting and hurting her enemies, and unusual in the "sins" of the title in that they do not refer to the lady's lapse of morals in the accepted or cinematographic sense. Rosanne thus becomes an interesting study in heroines, and though you may greet her spells under the baleful influence of the voodoo lady as a little Parker novel "Behold My Wife," screened from a Sir Gilbert extravagant you are always interested in the outcome. She of another name, is the sort of romance that appeals to the prim- is impelled to become the assistant to a diamond smuggler and itive story-loving instincts.

He. naturally, is a bad boy. and though his advances are restrained until the last two reels, when he does make up his mind to have Ethel—he is most determined. Fortunately Jack Holt arrives on the scene in the well-known nick of time, gives the villain a good beating, and, the witch doctor having died and lost her power over the girl, carries her triumphantly (o the altar.

NOMADS OF THE NORTH— First National

IT is a well-named picture, this newest of the James Oliver Curwood great outdoor series. The seven tribes of Israel never did a better job of wandering than do the principal char- acters in "Nomads of the North." Corporal O'Connor of the Royal Mounted wanders in from 'way off yonder, thinking "Once to Every Woman" is a story of who to marrv Nanette, the storekeeper's daughter, but he dis- achieves fame in opera abroad and then loses it back home, covers that Nanette is engaged to Raoul, the trapper, just thanks to the persistence of a foreign suitor with a gun. snows in search of pelts.

corporal readjusts his pack and wanders away disconsolate. Then Buck MacDougall wanders in with the news that a wandering friend of his has brought tidings of Raoul's death. which frees Nanette from her promise. She is about to marry Buck when Raoul wanders back, stops the wedding, and kills the conspirator who had lied about him. After which Raoul and Nanette are married and start wandering on their own account to escape the law—in the person of Corporal O'Connor. O'Connor's pursuit of the bride and groom covers most of the Hudson Bay country and ends with his rinding them and his effort to bring them back to the outposts of civilization through a forest fire that seems to be close enough to the camera to have exploded the celluloid on which it is most realistically photographed. You may forget much of this picture, but you will remember for a long, long time the forest fire, the crashing, burning, smoldering trees and the blistering heat of it, which you almost feel. And in the center of the fire is stalwart Lewis Stone with Nanette's baby in his arms, now skirting the edge of the blazing trail, now wading into a lake to escape the leaping flames, now plunging through a bank of smoke. Lewis is more incidental to "Nomads" than he was to "The River's End."' The dramatic burden is carried by Lon Chaney and Betty Blythe, and the humor of it is strengthened by the antics of a pet cub bear and a small dog v. ho have many experiences by flood and fire. A good family picture, this one.

The fights are exciting, the killings satisfactory, the background typically, and frequently most beautifully, western. And that is all any one who likes westerns has a right to demand. Jackie Saunders is the pretty and capable heroine, and there are two good performances by Arthur Millett and Raymond Nye, with "Kewpie" Morgan to provide the fat-faced comedy and Hershall Mayall to contribute a death in the desert scene with the expected realism.

KISMET—Robertson-Cole IN "Kismet" we have a picture of gorgeous backgrounds and impressive distances; long shots of palaces in which men walk a city block and are still within the marbled walls and also the camera's range; a gorgeous picture in its color and sensuous appeal. But more than merely gorgeous in that the story furnished by the Knoblock text, which is faithfully fol- lowed, is a good enough story to justify the production, and the advent of Otis Skinner as a screen star is really an event "Half a Chance, Frederick Ishams strong, healthy yarn, con- itself with island of importance to the cinema world.

Mahlon Hamilton was never he is a fine actor, but because he happens to be exactly the suspected of such depths as he here displays. type of fine actor who is best fitted for screen work. His basic training was that of the old school of sweeping gestures and romantic swagger, of free facial play and booming rhetoric. You can't hear the booming rhetoric on the screen, but you can sense it, and the other qualifications become positive virtues before the camera. His is, so far as my experience goes, the finest first performance of any actor who has gone from stage to screen. "Kismet," as said, is of that type of gorgeous production on which a small fortune is expended in the expecta- tion of winning a large fortune back. It is sensuously heavy in the faithfulness of its Orientalism, in the thick depths of its blue-tinted nights, and the flashing warmth of its gold- shot days. The smells—and the perfumes—of Bagdad the Beautiful are in the nostrils as one watches it—until one grows a little weary with the length and sameness of it. The story of Hajj, whose day of days lifted him from his beggar's throne on the steps of the mosque and carried him through adventures in the caliph's palace and the harem of the wazir of Mansur, saw him revenged upon his enemies and, though banished from the city, sent him away knowing that his only daughter was There is conscientious workmanship of production, in the caliph's bride, is interestingly related.

wicked Mansur and gleefully lays himself down upon the edge of the pool to watch the last of the bubbles arise from his submerged enemy, are the effective high-lights of the picture. Mr. Skinner screens exceptionally well, even the tell-tale closeups being works of art, and his acting is as near the per- fection all actors strive for as any of them attain. There are also good performances by Hamilton Revelle. Rosemary Theby, Elinor Fair, Hershall Mayall and others.

ONCE TO EVERY WOMAN—Universal

THE new Allan Holubar feature, "Once to Every Woman," has a reasonable theme and is away to a good start in the promised story of a small town girl who grew arrogant and selfish because she had a voice and came to accept the family sacrifices as her due. But the development is unreasonable. The girl attracts the attention of a wealthy patroness, bids her family a tearful adieu, goes abroad to study, achieves suc- cess and returns to New York to embark upon an operatic career. True, she has accepted a loan from a gentleman friend who, when she tries to repay him, suggests that he had rather have her than her money, but there is no suggestion, in title or picture, that he threatens to follow up his advantage. In New York the heroine, though the family is only an hour or two away in Pleasanton, Conn., neither goes to see them or invites them down to see her, which makes all the pumped-up loneliness on their part pure movie foolishness. The foreign suitor, still after his ducats or his heart's desire, chases after her and, having a sudden brain storm, fires at her from a box at the Metropolitan, which frightens all the song out of her and then she discovers—what do you suspect?—that "be it ever so humble there is no place like home!" And as an anti- picture labors the mother's death scene in "Curtain" was produced by James Young simply and logically climax the through from the RitaWeiman story. Katherine MacDonal J continues an extravagant attempt to show how the singer's voice came to improve as an actress, in this story -where a -woman marries back to her when she sincerely repented having treated the the wrong husband. poor old dear so outrageously. Dorothy Phillips gives an interesting performance as the girl.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL—Realart

HELD BY THE ENEMY—ParamountArtcraft

THEY did not get a great deal out of this civil war play. There are too many characters and too much plot, and too much reliance placed upon the old-time reputation of the play. Had the story been stripped of everything except the dilemma the heroine faced after she had given her heart to the brave Northern officer who had been placed in command of her Southern home, and then learned that the husband she thought dead is alive and a spy in the house, the suspense would have been greater and the story value strengthened. There is in the picture, as there was in the play, one strongly dramatic moment when the heroine is trying to get her wounded husband out of Wally Reid, in his latest and merriest comedy, "Always hospital by giving him a heavy sleeping potion and swear- Audacious," gives two different characterizations, a crook and a which, in fact, he is, though she does not know his wealthy double.

Her I lovely gray-blue eyes with their black curly lashes were thoughtful; her sensitive, half-smiling, half-grieving mouth was sad; her Grecian chin quivered. I looked at her —and thought of the pictures I had seen of her charming home in California with its vivid gardens and its cool rooms with their rows of books and period furniture and—why, she had a home! But Ethel elucidated. She meant, she said, a home in films. A new domestic career. Domestic drama—the kind of thing she used to do. She was the tenderest, sweetest, truest little wife in pictures. Remember the first "Dollars and the Woman" which she did for Lubin and followed with a series of charming human slices of real domestic life? But dollars—and the drama—changed all that. Would the producers allow her to continue to expose the ins-and- outs of the existence of the modern married woman? They would not. They found that Ethel could act all around many of their stars, that she always looked at home in any drawing-room and possessed a wardrobe that looked like the real thing. It was.

The Tale of a Tear

Who would ever suspect May Allison of tragic intentions?

By MARY WINSHIP

KNEW there was something wrong the moment I entered her rose-and-white I boudoir. I couldn't imagine what it was. She hasn't any husband. I'd seen her only the day before in a marvelous new ermine cape, and I could see a gold mesh bag flung half-open on her dressing table. Now what could disturb a pretty woman who has no husband, an ermine cape and a gold mesh bag? Nevertheless, there she sat—her eyes nar- rowed to glittering slits, her chin resting on a curled fist and sitting on her left foot. A fighting pose, that's all. Anybody knows what it means when a perfect lady sits on her left foot: In spite of these signs of approaching storm, I waded right in where even a prohibition-en- stand forcement officer might fear to tread.

The little voice was stilled forever the next day—but not before its baby owner had laughed—laughed for the first time at the antics of a comedian with funny feet and kindly smile. The scene was the White Plains Orthopedic Hospital where the little patients were enjoying a "pitcher-show" personally provided by the editor of Photoplay Magazine. Since that time many shows have been

given to shut-ins : crippled children, prisoners, the aged and infirm. Approximately ten thousand have been entertained in the one hun- dred and thirty-seven shows given since the first of July when the activities of the magazine extended in this direction. One company supplied film for each day in the week. First National, Universal, Pathe, Educational, Metro and Paramount contributed. Organizations in New York took up the work of spreading joy with comedy and travelogues for children, romance for the old, and slapstick for all.

The birthday gifts were laid out upon a table. There was something from everyone. Even Mary Miller, little Peggy's nurse, and almost a member of the family since she lost her parents several years before, had contributed her offering—a scarf knit with her own nimble fingers. There were pretty silken things from Daisy. But when Mar- garet came to the gifts from her husband and her husband's friend, side by side, she gasped. Bob had been more than usually busy, and the question of what to give his wife had bothered him, until, at the last minute, he had made out a check for $1,000 and put it in a business envelope, with the name of his firm in one corner. Julian had sent a little basket of roses with a card, in his own handwriting: For My friend's wife— My ivife's friend— From Her friend's husband— Her husband's friend.

Here was poetry and prose, romance and ma- terialism, and Margaret almost wept at the real- ization that she wished the roses had come from Bob. Then with a rush, her hunger for romance took form and* tortured her. .She magnified it, looked back upon years that had been happy and felt that they were barren. She recalled bitterly, that she had spent hours making herself as beautiful as possible that evening, and while the others had showered compliments upon her. Bob had simply taken it all for granted. But she concealed her disappointment with a stern determination to devote herself to Bob even more constantly than ever, and rebuild her little world that seemed to have crashed about her. The merry badinage of the dinner table revived Margaret's spirits, and as she looked at Bob across the table she accused herself of being an ungrate- ful wretch. She recalled his sterling character, his generosity, his consideration for all her whims and his tireless patience, until by the time they had returned to the drawing-room she believed she was more in love with him than ever. Daisy went to the phonograph, looked over the records, and suggested dancing Margaret and Julian were on their feet in an instant, and Bob looked over at them indulgently.

The caretaker, awakened by the motor, looked out, saw lights in the lodge and decided to investigate. Hurrying across the road he looked in at the win- dow, saw his employer with a woman in his arms, and went back, informing his wife that Mr. and Mrs. Osborn were at the lodge. "But Mrs. Osborn is in the East," the wife reminded him. "Well, it's Mr. Osborn anyhow, and the rest is none of our business," the excellent servant replied, and dismissed the matter. Margaret was dreaming romance. It meant nothing to her that the arms were the arms of her husband's friend. She hardly knew who it was beside her, but only that her hungry heart was being fed upon the fare for which she had longed. "It's springtime, darling, and the night is on fire," he whispered. "I am Pan, and you are a Dryad, crushed in my embrace." She lay limp and helpless in his arms, and his lips met hers. She struggled instinctively for an instant, and then surrendered, until at last, for very surfeit, she pushed him from her with a gasp. Then, as she stared, something came into her line of vision, vaguely at first, and then more clearly, and her own world came back to her with a rush. It was a portrait of her baby and her husband on the mantel. "Julian," she almost screamed, and pointed at the picture. "My husband—my little girl—your best friend!" He tried to soothe her, but the spell was broken. "No—you must protect me—I can't fight for both of us," she moaned. And the appeal to his manhood awakened him. "I am going to protect you," he said. "Come." And they went quickly back to the car. Pinned to her pillow in her room at home Mar- garet found a little note in a printed scrawl. "Sweet darling little mamma," it read. "Please come in and kiss me when you come home." Here was refuge from the storm. Hurrying to the nursery, she knelt beside Peggy's bed, but she. could not touch the innocent lips with hers. Softly caressing a baby hand that lay upon the coverlet, she let her tears fall, and knew that all the romance her heart needed lay here before her. But the caretaker's wife had a sister, and the sister was cook in the home of Mrs. Hicks, and Mrs. Hicks was a friend of Daisy, or pretended she was.

The striking thing about Palmolive

Manufactured in small quantities Palmolive would be a very expensive soap. But enormous production has reduced cost until its moderate price is a striking feature. The Palmolive factories work day and ni^ht—ingredients are imported from over-seas in enormous vol- ume. And so Palmolive costs no more than ordinary soaps. You can afford it for every toilet purpose. Remember there is no greater luxury than a bath with Palmolive. Palm- olive soap is sold by dealers everywhere. It is made by The Palmolive Company, Milwaukee, U.S.A. The Palmolive Company of Canada, Limited, Toronto, Ontario

GARETH HUGHES is playing "Senti- mental Tommy" despite the warnings of his physicians. Hughes made a hit in a Viola Dana picture and was signed by Miss Dana's company for future work. Then he had an attack of appendicitis. Just as he was about to undergo an operation in a Los Angeles hospital, came a wire from the east saying that Paramount wanted him to create the Barrie role. Hughes jumped out of bed and took the first train. They are hoping to finish the picture before he is obliged to undergo the operation.
