Blanche Sweet, one of America's foremost photodramutic stars, will be jseen ut the Arcade tonight and to morrow in the Jesse L. Lasky pro duction of "The Blacklist," the thrilling drama of social conditions written especially for her by two of the country's most 'famous play wrights, Marion Fairfax and Wm. C. J.)e Mille. . It is la Paramount picture. The beautiful Blanche Sweet, since Hhe has 'been with the Lasky company has ilcen Been in many unusual uoles, but as Vera Moiroff, t'he school tcachr in a small mining town, she is said to portray a role entirely different from anything in whichl she has hereto fore appeared. .. v "The Black-List" is a daring indict ment of ths working conditions of big corporations as tlhey exist in many states. Vera is the daughter of a mine worker who is tflie head of Rus sian anarchists, contemplating thi overthrow of the corporation. How the littlo school teacher, after her people have been shot down by the mine-guards for refusing to work un der the terrible conditions 'of One "Black-List," changes the entira pol icy of the great corporation and brings the president to her feet, must, naturally be seen to be enjoyed. This photodrama is said to deliver a les son to the working classes in a far mora graphic and. vivid manner than could bo told from the pulpit or stage. Supporting Miss Sweet is a cast of unusual excellence,, headed by Chas. Clary. V Horace B. Carpenter is .also seen prominent ' in the support of Miss Sweet. Others in the cast are Ernest Joy, Wm. Elmer. Lucian Littlefield, Jane Wolf and other members of the Lasky all-star stock company. AT SHERRY'S. "lighting Blood" Real.

When Champion Jess Willard was in New York recently he gave out the follow ing comment about the picture Sher ry's is now showing: "Most stage fights are just staere ngnts, tnats all," declared w.illard. "The fighters usually stall and swing wild, afraid that they are going to nurt each other or ruffle each other s clothes. In thlese days moving pic tures are too ireal for fake fighting. i mean tne pictures m wnien." 1 saw Bill Farnum fight. He is the oreat est rough-and-tumble fighter, for pic tures or for money, I believe that I ever saw. I do not mean that Far num is a irowdy or anything like that. I know that he is a' hierh-class eentle- man. What I do mean is that he has demonstrated to my mind that he is more than able to take care of him: self in almost any kind of company. "Farnum and Wis sparring partners put all they have behind their Wows, or at least seem to, and I used to won der whether it was rehearsing that made them so perfect. I know dif ferently now. I know that they really give and take the punches thUt come their way. I saw Farnum in 'Fight ing f Blood,' 'Soldiers' Oath,' 'The Plunderer,' 'The Bondman' and 'A Man of Sorrow,' and, believe- me, I have seon ring fights that did not touch thtese for realism and action. "Bill Fatrnum fights as though he likes to fight, and I have no doubt that he would have landed in the rinc if the stago had not claimed him in hds early youth." U. S.
