to arouse keenest interest from the very
cutset, for it races along from the first
curtain, presenting a wealth of interest
ing situations and surprising climaxes,

romance of Rose and Dick Graham are
especially delightful. Gustave presents
a keen character study with his unfail
ing honesty, his constant good humor and
his intense earnestness. He Is, in fact,
a character that will long be remem
bered by the average playgoer.

Small Films

SOME motion picture producers In Los
Angeles have recently predicted that;
the film of the future la t&e "big" pro-i
ductlon, made with large numbers and;
at heavy outlay. That not all the movie
leaders think that way is shown by the
expression of King Vldor. director of:
"Th Turn in me tun,' rne j aca-i
knife Man." and other smaller successful
pictures. ' .
, Said . Vldor,: Those who express such
sentiments "wholly misread such signs a
r we have to guide us. They do not take
into account the very important factor
we call by the Uttle word 'appeal.'
, "What has lived oa the stage? Not
the sumptuous, extravagant spectacle
They have had their fleeting moment
and passed out of memory. What on
can be mentioned v with Joe Jefferson 'g
simple comedy 'Rip Van Winkle.' witbj
its record of nearly half a century? j
"To take a more modern Instance, the
outstanding piece of our national stage
Is "Lightnin, Frank Bacon's simple!
homely play of trivial production costl
"The most popular film of recent years
is 'The Miracle Man,' which was pro
duced at moderate cost, and others of
great artistic and commercial success
which oost comparatively little could be
cited. A modest picture with a beautiful
dog as its star ha broken all theatre
records in Los Angeles. ;
"Some pictures costing not over $30,
ooo have swept large fortunes into
pockets of their makers. The big s;
tad has its market, but th smaller
picture with that elusive thing, appeal,
will never be pass."
' That the star system is losing some
ground may be Inferred from the action
of Louis B. Mayer, Who has parted With
his last star, Anita Stewart. He is to
