This production is a powerful docu
ment of Russian life and presents a

A somewhat novel vein of hiimoi
mixed with society life above and be

"The Penitentes," in which Orrin
Johnson stars with Sccnn-Owen in

in New Mexico two centuries ago,
when a fanatical religions society
known as the Penitentes lloir ished.
although vigorously opposed by the
Catholic church.
At the opening of the play there
is a scene where sheep arc grazing
peacefully and the land seems to bo
one of quietude and plenty. The Pen

Hazel Dawn is nursing sore feet
caused by going bare-footed during
the filming of "The Kued Girl."
Madame liertha Kalich, the Fox
I star, tells a very stirring sory of the
j tragedies of the "extras" in the film
I world.
I These people are in a class by them
j selves. They are a throng of quiet,
'serious, unpretentious people, eager to
I learn and willing to do exactly as
they are told, who come to the studios
day after day in search of work and
are turned away day after day. Some
times as many as seven hundred of
these aspiring actors and actresses
gather at the studios, and their need
is often serious. There are little
children dressed to look their cutest,
j clinging to their mothers' hands. Per
; haps, there is a father ill, or out of
j work, at home. They look to the lit
, t'e tot to make a screen success so
'that the family may be lifted from
the depths of want and hunger.
1 "There are wide-eved. cnHv-linicpit
young girls, who have come from
simple homes in small towns, glowing
with ambii.ion to become screen stars.
And many who have distorted their
childish faces with heavy make-up
trying to attract managerial atten

cliaracter pin ts and hofe is revived in
their poor, old hearts.
"Here ami there one sees an old
face that seems strangely familiar.
They are fallen stars and some of
thorn have drifted until' they are mere
ly 'extras.'
"As in every other phase of life,
there is tragedy and comedy !ure.
There are those who leave smilingly
and those who carry away aching
hearts. But as 1 said in the begin
ning. there is a doggedness a deter
mination to come back day after ilav
in the face of failure, with the abid
ing faith that one day, their persist
ence will be rewarded."

' num was the tsar. The production
ran for almost three years in New
York, Chicago, Iioston and other large
cities.
Lucille Taft has a dog which the
Mayor of Jacksonville gave her. It is
coniplimai'larily christened "Mayor
Jr."
Sidney Drew, who with his wife is
making the weekly one reel Metro
comedies, rarely -uses any make-up
while working before the camera.
This is unusual, hut Mr. Drew has a
most expi-essive face for comedy, and
his eyes are particularly good for
photographing well. Mrs, Drew of
ten uses a rouge which few others in
pictures ever use, as red photographs
very dark, and often black.
liaseball is called the national game,
but motion pictures are now without
a doubt the great national amuse
ment. The real inventor of motion photo

America.
Marin Sais, Kalem, has recently

actor who recently appeared with
Marie Doro in the Lasky production,
"The Heart of Nora Kynn," has been
engaged to play in support of Victor
Moore in "The Clown." This subject
is under the direction of William C.
de Mille.

"What was the lowest temperature
you ever experienced?" Stanhope
Wheatcroft, who is appearing in Will
iam Fox's photoiplay, "Sins of Men,"
was asked.
"That, my boy, was when I was
playing Shakespearean repertory
parts in Florida, manv years ago,"
declared William II. Tooker. "The
lox office opened at 7 oViloek and
when we left at midnight not a single
person had appeared to buy a ticket.
That's as cold a town as ever 1 was
in."
Owing to the popularity which the
Ka'cm pictures, in wlii'ch she hr.ti re- I
ccntly begun to appear, have given i
Rose Melville, the original "Sis Hop- I
kins, it is possible that she may re
turn to the stage. Since the films
have hroucht hor back into the light
sei era!,poducers want her.
