Jirtt the same as mother will return when the cycle goes arouna. . The screen vampire has been under cover for the past five years.' William ' Fox discovered her, and William Fox I put her back on the shelf. No Ameri- I can producer or actress has been brave 1 enoug-h during that period to venture forth in a film that touched upon the seduction of the male by the female. But the bars are down now. The cry for something different on the silver sheet is responsible for Wil liam Fox turning back to the good or the bad. as you choose old days. "A Fool There Was" was the first film that identified the vampire as an es tablished figure on the screen. Wil liam Fox has made a revised edition of it with an all-star cast. It is the attraction at the Blue Mouse theatre this week and is expected to bring the vampire leading woman back to her pedestal once more. Estelle Taylor, a beautiful brunette, with wonderful eyes and a mass of black hair, is the lady who will do the luring. A comparatively newcomer to the screen.

CIRCLE Harold Lloyd says that it took four months to dope out the ending of "Grandma's Iioy" that final laugh that made its first audience, when it was previewed in Long Beach, Cal., laugh so har'i that it held up the next act for 10 minutes. The hardest part of a- comedy, contends Lloyd and his producer, Hal Koach, Is the "gag" for the final faleout. The picture is showing at the Circle theatre today, Monday and Tuesday. "Grandma's By is hailed as. Harold IJoyd's most' pretentious comedy in a lineup of laugh-producing photoplays that have not had one mark against them. Lloyd's newest comedy is always a step forward, and "Grand ma's Boy" is a mighty big stride ahead. It is in five reels and its laughs, thrills and suspense are built around a theme as serious as the psychology of fear., Lloyd is seen as the bashful small town boy, afraid of his own shadow. When his little oldfashioned grandmother comes to his rescue with her great wisdom and teaches him tlje meaning of eelf-c jnfidence, "he makes the sleepy little town of Blossom Bend and the Girl in particular sit up and take notice '.hat the worm has turned ! "Grandma's Boy" is from the story by Producer Hal Roach, and Sam Tay lor and Jean Havez. Fred JCewmeyer directed and the cast includes pretty Mildred Davis.

His knowledge of Vienna, his army experience and his interest in the work of the director make him a valuable assistant Captain Contl's war record Is inter esting. He was graduated as a cadet in 1910 and was commissioned a sec ond lieutenant in the machine gun squadron of the fifth regiment of Hus sars. At the outbreak of .the war he was assigned as a machine gun officer to the second cavalry division and was captured by the Russians in 1916. On Christmas day, 191T. he escaped from a Russian prison camp and made his way "to Petrograd. There he was re captured and identified as an Aus- 1 j trjan" officer. His freedom depended Lr6pon his fitness for- active military service.' Half an hour before his physi- ffcal examination he tossed off a pint of cognac and smoked 20 potent Rus sian cigarettes. The army surgeons found his heart-io be pounding awav at 120 to the minute, half of which he attributes to the brandy and cigarettes and the other to natural anxiety. Ho was released and returned to Vienna where he was uourtmartialed for hav ing been made a prisoner. He was exonerated and g,iven an honorable dis charge. Arriving to New Tork in September, clerk In a ship-chandler's, took a whirl at banking in. the foreign exchange de partment of a Pittsburg bank, tried working- in the oil fields of Texas, re turned to Chicago as a bank clerk, drifted to the Orange county oil fields, tried to sell stocks and bonds in Los Angeles and -was just settling down to me coiiecung ana distributing end of the laundry business when be read the evening paper of August 3.

Rupert Hughes Is Sponsor of 'One Man Film ONT3 of the most interesting fignres in the motion picture w-orld is Ru pert Hughes. He has proved that the "one man" picture not only ia a pos sibility but Is a distinct and outstand ing success. He also has shown that the public doesn't have to be titivated by vampires., or ogled with eternal triangles toTput the seal of approval on a screen drain a. When Hughes first went to the Goldwyn studio on the west coast and began -a practical first hand study of the screen it generally was taken way of other authors wh a have madei the same eaperiment. Then came ward that whe was writing his own continuities, .fer the working script from wieh-th pictures are phato-graphed-Then he assisted in direc tion and wrote his own titles. Now.: in lus lateatvpictures, including "Re membrance, . a Goldwyn production, he is responsible for the entire pro duction the original story, tho con tinulty, the direction, the cutting and the titling. x As in his "The Old Nest," Hughes in "Remembrance" has translated a typical American family problem to the screen. In the first picture he buiided on mother love. The father is the central "-and appealing figure in his later effort. There ia no doubt that whatever else may bo . said, a picture by Rupert Hughes is always distinctly and em phatically Hughes. It bear's the im print of his individuality as plainly as do his novels and short stories. In this respect, if no other, it might be safe to say that "Hughes is . unique. There is no one like him in motion pictures. A deal of criticism has been printed to the effect that motion pictures suf fer from "eouncll" manufacture. Too many figures spoil the pie. Is the contention. No such criticism can be made of any motion picture that bears Hughes' name. Authors frequently complain because directors change situations in the story. Since Hughes has been direct ing the scenes from his stories he has found that frequently he has to al ter his own work. He was telling about this situation the other day. "It is not unusual," said he, "for me to say to myself, 'I wonder if Author Hughes would get very mad if I should change this around. Well, I'll make the change anyhow and ex plain it to him afterward. Hevbaen't any right to ; complain If I better the situation.' " At other times pirector . Hughes found liimself a,t loggerheads with Author Hughes for writing in camera angles that couldn't possibly be worked out, and for failing to foresee various mechanical obstacles that the director discovered Immediately. As the one author who has worked at motion pictures until he can and does make his own jjhotodramas his own way, Hughes has ' had many ob stacles to oVercome, and many disap pointments nad setbacks. He has la bored iiarder than most human beings who are trying to attain success, al though he already had achieved a most unusual success in the profession of letters. Pet Spider Quits Cold Wlien Movies Want Him to Work By A. J. Loreni Cnirereal berries Stiff Correspondent. Chicago, Sept. 16 Spiders, like ants, are pointed out as shining examples of Industry, but they refuse to work for the movies. Night after night, Miss Lucille Berg, naturalist for the Society of Visual Kducatioa, has been watching "Miran da," her pet spider, in the hope of obtaining, moving picture record of her Industrious spinning. But, always, Miranda, balks as soon as the powerful electric bulbs are turned , on her and Hiss Berg starts turning the camera crank. "She gets stage fright." Miss Berg explained, "but I'm getting out of pa tience with 'Miranda.' nere never nas been a film of a TACK PICKFORD and his "Sally" wife, known prof es J sionally as Marilynn Miller, star in thr musical show, "Sally."

Miranda la & big, fat, yellow and black spider with a private dressing room and studio. A wire screen cov ering her web, which she began spin ning along a picturesque old brick wall, keeps her captive. The stage has beenelaboraiejy set with several large vines and a tiny cemented pool to add realism to the picture. A moving pic ture camera Is kept in focus waiting for Miranda to consent to pose. Miss Berg treats Miranda very kind ly, feeding her grasshoppers and other spider delicacies. Several times the naturalist has left the "studio" within the last few days, and immediately, it seems, Miranda went to work re pairing the broken web. "Science says they weave their webs at night," Miss Berg said, "and espe cially before midnight. I have stood beeide the camera for hours at a time, as late as 1 o'clock in the morning, waiting for Miranda to begin her op erations. But within" the past week she has done nothing but sit in the middle of her half-fintshed web and stare at me with all of her eyes." Miss Berg has collected an entire "bug menagerie," which she is filming for educational purposes at her garden in Evanston. Japanese Star Is In TJ.
