OES music soothe or ruffle the pro fessional breast? That is a pro found question which is likely to be settled very shortly at the Lasky studio in Hollywood, whence emanates the Information that Max Fischer, vio lin virtuoso who has refreshed the weary travelers at the Sunset Inn by his dulcet cadences, has been engaged to play musical accompaniments for all emotional scenes which are staged by Lasky for Paramount Pictures. Maestro Fischer, it seems, played for Geraldine Farrar's big dramatic scenes during the filming of "Joan the Woman," and the prima donna had such great success under this inspirational method of treatment that it has been decided to try It on other stars. Mae Murray will undoubtedly feel at home when emoting to a musical ac companiment, and there is small doubt that Lou-Tellegen will be deeply af-1 fected by passages from "Carmen" and other operas in which his wife is to appear at the far-off Metropolitan dur ing the current season. A serious phase of the experiment is the question of the effect which the music will have on the stage hands, carpenters and other workmen around the studio. If their temperamental na tures also respond to the music, grave complications might ensue. Another Stage Star. Elsie Ferguson, one of the most pop ular of all stars of the speaking stage, has succumbed to the lure of film dollars. At the conclusion of her pres-. ent season in "Shirley Kaye," now play ing in New York, Miss Ferguson will act before the camera in a series of productions made by the Cardinal Film Corporation. She will begin active work some time in July. The Cardinal Film Corporation has Geraldine Farrar under contract for her exclusive film appearances. "Joan the Woman." now being exhibited throughout the country, is a Cardinal production, presented by Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. De Mllle. Miss Ferguson has been one of the most sought-after stage stars. For several years many companies have been striving to get her name on a film contract. With both beauty and captivating personality she is gener ally conceded to be one of America's best actresses. The salary offered her bv the Cardinal Film Corporation is said to be between $300,000 and $350,000 a year for three years. Sunset. . William S. Hart, the screen's greatest portrayer of Western roles, and one of the most popular stars of the nlm nrm ament, will headline today's Sunset Theater programme, appearing in "The Patriot." one of his best pictures. "The Patriot" deals with a white te man. an American, whose love for h country and its flag turns to hatred when it permits thieves to rob him of his mine, and bring about the death of his boy. The one-time Respected citi zen becomes an inmate of Mexican dives, and to avenge himself on the country he believes has wronged him aids Mexican bandits In the proposed looting of a border town. However, the thought of unprotected women and children rekindles in the man his sense of right, and his atonement furnishes a 'smashing climax to the unusually strong story. VIaid Mad." a Keystone comedy fea turing Charles Murray and Louise Ka zenda. and Burton Holmes Travelogue will complete the bill. Here's a Xew Champion. Mary Thurman, one of the Keystone actresses, is making great records as a girl athlete. Some- of her track marks are dangerously close to those set by the co-eds at Vassar College. Miss Thurman. who is one of the most beautiful girls In motion picture work (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter), began athletics as a swimmer in some o the Keystone Comedies. Partly in carrying out comedy parts and partly out of the exuberance of a splendid young vitality. Miss Thur man began to take a real interest in athletics. Some of the Keystone Comedies were produced on the campus of the different California universities. Watching the college boys. Miss Thurman got to be an athletic fan. and at last plunged into athletics herself. "It happens that some of the most famous athletes in the world live around Los Angeles, and often help out in the pictures for a lark. Conse quently Miss Thurman has had the benefit of instruction from such world famous athletes as Fred Kelly, the win ner of the high hurdles at the Olympic games at Stockholm. The following table shows a com parison betw.een bee records and those Ti'wortfK made at Vassar. Miss Thurman's time was clocked unofficially, but by reliable timekeepers. It will be noted that one of the sports in which she excels is the ancient Grecian sport ,of Javelin throwing, which has been revived by American athletes.

Globe. "The Escape," that D. W. Griffith pro duction that paved tne way to fame for Mae Marsh, and enhanced the repu tations of such players as Blanche Sweet, Robert Harron, Donald Crisp, Ralph Lewis and Fay Tincher, opens a one-week engagement at the Globe Theater today. This seven-reeler is a picturization of the Paul Armstrong dramatic suc cess, "The Escape," and a sex-eugenic-' science photoplay. The theme deals with the physical phase of life in its relation to the perpetuation of the race, and after offering a series of views of the care exercised in the breeding of domestic animals, paints a powerful picture of the disregard of natural laws evinced by man in his choice of a mate. Screen Gossip. Every rainy day in Los Angeles costs the various moving picture pro ducing companies about $30,000. The usual stories in the newspapers about the "Jubilant farmers" finds no echo in 'he breasts of the picture producers. The clouds climbing up the sides of the mountains causes more alarm than the sight of a wolf in a sheep ranch: Someone from the Keystone studio advances the information that Louise Fazenda Is a Baptist and teaches a Sunday school class. Alleen Allen, a Mack Sennett-Key-stone beauty and holder of the Na tional A. A. U. diving championship, together with the other National title holders of various aquatic sports, has secured a four weeks leave of absence from her studio work and sails for Hoik lulu February 7 to defend her title in the aquatic events which form part of the great Hawaiian Mid-l'a-cific Carnival.
