JAPANESE STARS AT PEOPLES
"The Soul of Kura-San" Depicts Un
usual Oriental Drama.
Sessue; Hayakawa, the brilliant Jap
anese actor, supported by Myrtle Sted
man, the clever Pallas-Morosco star,
will be seen at the Peoples Theater to
day in the Lasky production, "The Soul
of Kura-San." an unusual drama writ
ten especially for them.
That this is a happy combination of
artists, there can be no doubt. Sessue
Hayakawa, who scored his great suc
cess in "The Cheat." followed by
"Alien Souls" and "The Honorable
Friend," has established himself as one
of the leading- actors of the screen, and
the versatile Myrtle Stedman, who re
cently appeared in "An American
Beauty," has a large following in the
ecreen world.
The name part of this production Is
played by Tsuru Aoki, the dainty Nip
ponese actress who made herself ' so
popular in "Alien Souls" and "The
Honorable Friend." Many of the
scenes in this photodrama were laid in
Japan, others in a New York curio
store, and the final and most dramatic
scenes between Mr. Hayakawa and Miss
Stedman occur in a beautiful Long
Island country home.
The story has to do with the adven
tures and tribulations of two poor Jap
anese lovers. They are not able to
marry, so decide to commit "shinju,"
which is double suicide, but when
Hayakawa is offered a position in
America they decide to wait until he
has acquired enough money to return
for his bride.
How Kura-San is wronged by an
American artist, and how her sweet
heart revenges himself on the artist's
intended American bride, goes to make
a etory swift in its action, unusual in
Its theme and startling in Its origin
ality. The scenes in Japan were made by
the members of Mr. Hayakawa's stock
company, which every Winter appears
In Japanese plays in the theater pre
sented him by the wealthy Japanese of
Southern California, and which enjoys
an excellent patronage by American
lovers of dramatic art.
NANCE O'NEIIj AT PICKFORD
"Tlio Iron AVoman" Is Presented for
First Time.
Nance O'Neil, who is unexcelled in the
strong dramatic roles she portrays
upon the stage and screen, will be seen
at the Plckford Theater today in "The
Jron Woman," a five-part Metro won
derplay, which she considers the most
artistic achievement of her long career.
Miss O'Neil originally intended to
produce a dramatization of "The Iron
Woman." the successful novel by Mar
garet Deland, upon the speaking stage.
David Belasco. under whose manage
ment she was starred in "The Lily," and
other big stage successes, arranged to
produce it. but an unforeseen turn in
affairs prevented the plan being car
ried out.
Metro obtained the motion picture
rights to the novel later, and naturally
cast Miss O'Neil for the stellar role.
As a result motion picture audiences
will have the opportunity of seeing the
story on the screen before it is pre
sented in the theater.
Miss O'Neil is surrounded by a cast
of prominent players, each one selected
because of his or her peculiar ability
to fill the role assigned them. The cast
Includes Alfred Hickman, Evelyn Brent,
Vera Sisson, Christine Mayo, Einar

Introducing Miss Muriel Furtesque,
favorite screen comedienne of English
and Australian audiences. By that
name was Mabel Normand known In
Europe and Australia, though, since
she became "Keystone Mabel," she is
now as w-ell known over there as
Mabel Normand as she is here.
Mabel is busy as can be at her own
studio making a picture that's going
to be good, because no one ever saw
Mabel in a picture that was not. In
fact, everyone around the studio seems
to be so busy that they can't even tell
anyone the name of the picture, though
Mabel occasionally slips away to the
photographer and the above is one of
the results.
"I wish," said June Caprice, after
watching her latest picture run off at
the Academy of Music, "that I could
take you all in my arms." thereby es
tablishing an original remark in the
way of curtain speeches.
Edna Hunter, of Monmouth Film, not
to be outdone, .has received a letter
from a Jap schoolboy. Now she does

light, off Fort William, Me., was repro
duced in every detail for the purposes
of the picture.
Lou Tellegen, Lasky star, who has
established the unenviable record of
being hurt in every production in which
he appears, declares that the only
recompense for all these injuries is the
tender solicitation and care which he
elicits from his wife, Geraldine. Lou
Tellegen's latest picture for the Para

in which he nearly lost his well-known,
not to say Grecian, nose.

City, "Civilization" came to a close
October 21, after a most successful run.
Irene Fenwick made her debut as an
actress In "Peggy From Paris" in Chi
cago, the city of her birth. In this play
she was p. member of the chorus for
three weeks and was then given the
stellar role in the absence of the regu
lar star for this part. Her rise to pop
ularity and fame began from this time.
Charles Frohman featured her in sev
eral important productions. Her lirst
appearance in pictures was under the
direction of George Kleine. She is now
with Famous Players:
Mary " Pickford. with her mother,!
brother and company of 60, is at the
Oceanside, in Marblehead, prepared to
stay about six weeks taking scenes for
her nest picture. A little Scotch vil
lage has been built at Castle Rock and
rehearsals go on all day under the di
rection of Maurice Tourneur and
George Cowl. The pictures are taken
at night under strong electric lights.
Matt Moore Is to play opposite her in I
this picture. Hundreds of people go
over dally in hopes of seeing the little
star, but the crowds appear to embar-l
rass her and she is seldom in evidence
save when necessary, much to their dis- I
appointment.
Eddie Ring Sutherland, between
scenes on a Keystone location one day
last week, was "knocked cold in the
trenches," to quote this light comedy
lead. The trenches happened to be ones
dug for the laying of a gas main, and
Eddie was playing ball with some oth
ers of the company with an orange
picked from a convenient tree. . Eddie
jumped for the oncoming ball and fell
back into a three-foot trench. He was
unconscious for some time, and, upon
being revived, remarked: "That's what
I get for playing on the company's
time."'

m
A play which promises to be one of
the season's sensations is the Metro
production of "The Black Butterfly."
with Madame Petrova as the star. The
story, from the pen of Mrs. L. Case
Russell, provides a fine foundation for
a remarkably surprising "twist" given
to It by Madame Petrova. The scene of
"The Black Butterfly" is laid "some
where in France."
Irene Castle won renown as a dancer
with her husband. Vernon Castle, be
fore becoming a star 'for the Interna
tional Film Service. She was born
"45 minutes from Broadway" in New
Rochelle, to be exact and is 23 years
old. Her maiden name was Foots and
she was on the stage for six years.
She was married in 1910. Mrs. Castle
Is hVt feet tall and is a blonde.
Hobart Bosworth expects to collect
$50,000 from Universal for an alleged
violation of contract. The suit is based
upon the company's action in featuring
Dorothy Davenport as the star in "The
Way of the World." a film version of
the Clyde Fitch play. Instead of Bos
worth. which was contrary to the con
tract according to the plaintiff.
Adda Gleason. of "Ramona" fame, is
taking part in another California spectacle-photoplay
which is to be known
as "The Spirit of Seventy-six," which
sounds like more preparedness. Oth
ers in the cast are Doris Pawn," Jane
Novak and Howard Gaye.
Our idea of zero in publicity stunts
is the little-note sent out by the Ks
sanay essayist to the effect that Edna
Mayo has learned to play a ukulele,
otherwise known as a Honolulu groan
box, when stronger language is un
available. Lenore Ulrlch, the Pallas-Paramount
star, recently disclosed her daily pro
gramme as an eye-opener to the hosts
of girls who view the life of an actress
through too deeply rose-colored glasses.
In brief, it is somethnig like this: Rise
6 A. M., breakfast at 7; visit to cos
turner's at 9 and rehearsals from 10:30
A. M. till 6 P. M., with 15 minutes for
a light luncheon. A hasty dinner and
more rehearsals, followed by study In
her room until bedtime, round out the
programme of this enterprising little
actress.
Ruth Roland, star of Pathe's "The
Sultana." Is called the "Hetty Green"
of the films. Perhaps her reputation
for being a prudent saver is responsi
ble for the fact that recently she was
announced by a Porto Rican newspaper
as about to marry a young San Juan
lawyer, and by a London newspaper as
about to wed a young English officer
now In the trenches. Ruth had never
heard of either of these two prospec
tive bridegrooms. Newspapers in Da
homey. Tientsin. Lhassa. Bahia and
Pago Pago are still to be heard from.
Rhea Mitchell, American-Mutual,
broke Intip the stage profession by
playing minor parts In the Alcazar
Theater, San Francisco. Several very
good engagements followed this. Fi
nally she decided to play In pictures
during a vacation. They appealed to
Lher bo strongly that -when rehearsals
for the next stage season began she
remained in a film studio and has
never returned to the spoken drama.

' A note from Triangle headquarters
conveys the Interesting information
that Roscoe Arbuckle. the Keystone
comedian, says he can always think
better in an automobile than anywhere
else because the even motion helps to
crystalise his thoughts. This in con
nection with the fact that the rotund
fun-maker has recently purchased a
new car. There may be something in
the -idea. Personally, we believe our
thoughts would crystallze into veri
table gems of beauty and wisdom If
some kind soul would provide us with
a high-priced machine in which to op
erate our think-tank. There can be
little doubt that many a brilliant
thinker has injured his brain-pan by
using the same recklessly without auto
aid.
