The first print of "The Border Legion." in which Blanche Bates makes her debut on the screen, has just reached New York from the West, where It was recently produced. - Miss Bates' appearance in this pro duction will be in the nature of a sur prise, as law. know. Lbx ! uc of EM "Under Two Flags." "Madame Butter fly."' "The Darling of the Gods" and other stage successes had capitulated to the lure of the screen. "The Border Legion," which is an adaptation of Jane Grey's novel of the same name. was produced under the personal direc tion of T. Hayes Hunter, and is said to be a strong Western drama, which gives Miss Bates the type of role in which she has often demonstrated her ability. Manager Edel gives It as his opinion that this production is the best Western drama projected on the screen in recent years. Hobart Bosworth plays opposite Miss Bates, while the supporting cast in cludes Eugene Strong. Horace Morgan, Russell Simpson, Arthur Morrison, Bull Montana, Richard- Souzade and Kate Elmore.- Screen Only Sees Mildred. Mildred Harris, star of "For Husbands Only," the Lois Weber production is sued by Jewel Productions, has become one of the favorite stars or rilmdom in less than a year and. unlike many of the screen stars who have become pop ular Idols, has no record of training on the legitimate stage prior to her en trance into the ruin rield. Mildred Harris never appeared in dra ma. except before the motion-picture camera. She began her career when she was 11 years old, under Thomas Ince. then was with Griffiths In the Fine Arts Company, and afterward played oppo site William Hart with the Ince studios. Then she was discovered by Lois Weber and raised to stardom in an in credibly brief time. Even now Mildred Harris Is barely over 18 years old and is recognized as one of the most brilliant emotional ac tresses on the screen. Government Aids Fllmers. Nowadays, when there Is so much ed ucational propaganda in patriotic war photoplays. Uncle Sam freely puts his forces at the disposition of producers whenever possible. Soldiers and sailors have been frequently used In the mak ing of pictures by private concerns, -but in "To Hell With the Kaiser." a fleet of 100 aeroplanes was borrowed from the Government. An aerial battle between aerial fleets of the Tanks and the Hun is one of the big "punches" of the production, and no difficulty was experienced in drafting instructors and student aviators into service for this phase of the screen classics picture. Doug's Story. A Christmas story told by Douglas Fairbanks Is going the rounds in Au gust, but Doug claims it's new: A poor chap from the country took his girl to a fashionable Broadway restaurant for their Christmas dinner and committed gaucherle on gaucherie. The bill of fare was in French, and the chap point ed to an item on it and said huskily. we'll begin with that." "Sorry, sir." said the- waiter, "but the orchestra's playing that." Then the waiter handed him a nap kin. The chap looked at it carefully, frowned, got up. spread it on his chair and sat on it. The waiter, taking pity on him, said: "Will you have the table d'hote or a la carte, sir?" Both, said the chap, coughing. 'Both, with plenty of gravy. Super-Modesty Item. Ivan Abrahamson has just announced himself as "the enakespeare of the screen." He predicts that his forth coming effort, Kretlcally titled "When Men Betray." (written and directed by Ivan, Abrpm"aVai -".will .undoubtedly THE SUNDAY achieve greater artistic success than any photoplay ever written" and that it will prove the greatest box-office attraction of any photoplay ever screened." We take it that Ivan has considerable confidence in himself as a director, in fact, almost as much confi dence as he has in his writing. Picture Play Magazine. 'The Play's the Thing."

KAISER IS SEVERELY SCORED Photoplay at Peoples Theater Deep ens Hatred of Outcast Nation. It's not the fashion these days, when the Hun is wobbly master of part of France and nearly all of Belgium, and Uncle Sam is planning to pit five million Tanks against . Prussianlsra, to deal kindly, with Kaiser Wilhelm . of Ger- many, but that -war lord and all that ne represents nas never peen so ee - verely arraigned as in "To Hell With the Kaiser," which opened at Peoples Theater engagement yesterday to huge crowds. That this picture will send patrons! away with a lasting impression of the hated Hohenzollern and a deeper hatred of the foe Is a foregone conclusion. It depicts the Kaiser in league with the devil and spares neither "words nor In- cidents in proving that he is jthe lowest form of animal which walks. The pic ture has, in fact, more of a personal grievance against the Kaiser than against the German empire, and the vengeance wreaked upon him Anally Is for a personal revenge rather -than for the hundreds of atrocities with which the world is familiar. The production is highly sensational. glorifies the spirit of the American flag, makes a strong appeal to patriot ism and hatred of the foe, and shows terrible scenes of horror taking place J in Belgium.

Miss Phillips is sweet and charming, while William Stowell, her leading man, makes an excellent hero. The star is cast as Marjorie, New York struggler, while Stowell Is kings ton, wealthy broker. Poverty and love of luxury cause her to accept a dis honorable proposal from him on the "trial marriage" basis. The girl learns there Is a "Mrs. Kingston," sends for her old sweetheart, and is treated with disrespect by him.
