Cadets -Are
GiistW at
M. P. Studio
TN "on hour (00 midshipmen had a
JL snore z tended cruise In . fllmdorn the
thr day than they have had In the
thrM months since they left Annapolis
for Pacific waters under the command
of Vice Admiral Hillary Jones of the
Atlantic fleet. ,
The midshipmen wars accompanied by
Mayor Meredith Snyder of Los An
geles, Maynard McFle, president of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and
Captain Chauncey 8hackford, command
er of the submarine base at Ban Pedro,
from Los Angeles to Hollywood, where
they were welcomed by Marshall Netlan,
chairman of a reception committee, and
Bol Lesser, Western manager for Asso
ciated First National pictures.
After a tour of studio land the mid
shipmen were divided into six groups to
watch the different stars and producing
units in the actual taking of scenes
for future First National pictures. They
began at a scene In China for "Dlnty
n ' the Marshall Neilan set. and in 15
minutes found thsmselves In a street
en the lower east side of New York, for
the same production. From there they
walked a hundred paces to see Sylvia
B reamer- in a tropical scene for Sydney
Franklin's "Parrott and Company,'
which has a locale on the Barak river
In India.
The centuries were then turned back
and the middies viewed Dorothy Phil
lips In a prehistoric scene for "Man,
woman and Marriage, clad In bear
skins and fighting James Klrkwood. who
plays a wild caveman in the picture.
Mbm Phillips presented Commander E.
Wi Tcod with a silver loving cup In
remembrance of the occasion.
On the Neilan stage Vice Admiral
Jones,, director of thousands of men in
. the naval service, tried his hand at the
gentle art of motion picture directing.
Under Nellan's supervision he staged a
scene with Marjorle Daw, Wesley Barry,
Pat O'Malley and Noah Beery, portray
Ing a dramatic scene In "Dlnty." A
short scene was then taken by Marshall
Neilan with Vice Admiral Jones. Mayor
Snyder, McFle, Captain Shackford and
Marjorle Daw.
But perhaps the biggest treat for the
midshipmen came when mess call was
sounded and they were served a dainty
repast by dainty motion picture stars.
One of the cadets asked Marjorle Daw
to autograph a wooden salad fork and
In two minutes hundreds of the middies
were clamoring for the same favor.
AH the motion pictures taken are be
ing assembled by Marion Fairfax,
scenario writer, and will be presented to
the cadets later as a permanent souvenir
of their trip to the film capital of the
world.
MISS RUTH ROWLAND has become so weu estaousnea in pDc pwutum m.c v. myuw
picture work that when one think of her, he naturally thinks at the same time of serial
"thrillers" which are this young actress "long suit." Miss Rowland is now with Pathe.
She is a San Francisco girl, and has been identified with stage and screen since childhood.

Agnes Ayres to
J Play Leads for
Cecil De Mille
Just what an accidental meeting In a
shoe shop may lead to was shown when
rt was announced that Agnes Ayres has
been chosen as Cecil B. de Mllle's lead
ing woman for the production on which
he Is now working. Gloria Swanson,
who for so long has been the shining
light In many of the De Mille features,
and Agnes Ayres Used to be" Inseparable
companions, back in the old days when
they started their careers at Essanay.
Then they drifted apart and it was not
until last year that they -met again in
a shoe shop and cordial relations were
again resumed. Their meeting was fol
lowed, a short time later, by the an
nouncement that Miss Ayres was leav
ing for the coast to take an Important
part In a new Cecil de MiUe film and
that she would make one picture for
him.
Now It Is learned that she has been
chosen to head the feminine portion of
the cast of his current production to
refill the vacancy left by Ann Forest,
who was transferred to George Melford's
picture for Paramount of "The Faith
Healer."
Misa Ayres was recently seen In "Held
fcy the Enemy," The Furnace" and in
a recent Marihgll Neilan production.
"Way Down East"
Has Been Postponed
Talk about women usurping the privi
lege of chansrlng their minds! They have
nothing on directors who are prolific
with their productions. Here Is D. W.
Griffith with two new features on his
hands with the result that, to keep them
from running. In competition with each
. other, he has to go and change his plans.
It was originally announced that "Way
Down East" would be shown for the first
time In New York, during the week of
August 23. but, owing to the fact that
"The Love Flower" will be at the 8trand
- during that period, the date has been
changed to September 23, at which time
New Torkers will get their first glimpse
f Of the screen adaptation of the stage play
at the Forty-Fourth Street theatre.

Question producers of musical shows are
beginning to answer In a more or less
petulant manner this season, and the
answer Is echoed back, in vauaevuie
and as principals in revues and op
erettas," says Leo A. Marsh in the New
York Telegraph.
"For the chorus of last season is fur
nishing the stars of the next, and a
dearth of material for ballets and en
sembles is the result. The latest griev
ance is voiced by Comstock A Oest, who
are at present racking their collective
brains for ways and means of finding
120 count 'env-young women for the
ballet of "Aphrodite" and "Mecca" for
the forthcoming season and meeting with
discouragement at every rack.
"Other managers have been up against
the same difficulty, they assert notably
Arthur Hammersteln, Charles Dilling
ham and Dr. Anselm Goetxl and they
are unanimous in blaming tbe shortage
of rood dancing material on vaudeville
and advancement to principal roles in
productions.
"Interesting figures In this connection
are given out by Michel Fokine, creator
of tbe Russian ballet, who is selecting
the ensembles for Comstock A Gest's
spectacles, and he declares that out of
60 glrla he trained for the "Aphrodite"
ballet last year only three returned for
work this season, the others either hav
ing graduated to the post of specialty
dancers in the two-a-day or opened danc
ing schools of their own.
"And meantime It begins to look as
If the tired business man would have to
worry along in the front row this season
with only half the usual quota of the

Daly's Has
Passed Out
For Always
By Sldsey B. Whipple
New Tork. Sept 4. New York doesn't
live in the past. The present and the fu
ture are her chief concerns, and perhaps
that is why the passing of Daly's
theatre, onoe regarded as the great sun
of the entire theatrical firmament,
arouses but the merest ripple of interest
from a few oldtlmers who open a
chorus "Do Tou Remember When T
That leads back to the TO's and "SO's of
the last century when Daly's was Daly's.
The rest of New Tork Is rather more
interested in what kind of a factory
they're going to put up on the site. This
time it's a shirt factory. Workmen are
already knocking down the old walls
and tipplns apart the proscenium arch
and demolishing the age-worn galleries.
A modern factory will soon be reared
on the site, and one ' more landmark
will have been engulfed in the tide of
big business.
The oldtlmers can't conceive of any
bigger business than the maintaining of
Just such an Institution as Avsrustln
Daly's theatre, the greatest theatrical
training school America has ever sup
ported, and the creatoror foster
mother of more genius than any dra
matic school In the world.
