Lawrence D'Orsay, the eminent
comedian, who will be presented
at the Grand theater by Henry
Duffy on Tuesday. May 26. In
George M. Cohan's international
fucc?88, $o This la London," was
born in England and had his
early stage training In an exceed
ingly hard school. -
Coming or a distinguished and
proud old British family, he as
well 'as his brothers was educated
for the law. For many years 'he
poured over musty, books and
legal documents until he' became
a solicitor. Then suddenly one day
while the relatives were not look
ing ie kicked over the traces and
became an actor.
In this day and generation there
is nothing very remarkable about
a young and ambitious man Core
making the legal profession for' the
stage, but when D'Orsay wa.3 in liia
early twenties' it waa "not being
done," as the Britisher himself
would say. s ,
"I had a hard pirne of it physic
ally, mentally and I might lamost
add spiritually," 'D'Orsay says. "J
mean J had to rough it quite a bit
you Jcnow, worried a lptvaj.o,ut

to stick to it. I've been at It ever
since and here I ani away out ion
the Pacific coast, the most ' won
derful country in all the world,
If of course you except my merry
England in the spring time."
D'Orsay likes best to talk of
how wonderful New York was to
him when he originated Tils" role
of Sir Percy Beauchamp, the same
part he is to play here, and his
previous. triumphs as "The Earl of
Pawtucket," a play . well -iemem-bcred
by the older generation of
theatre goers hereabouts. '

BEHIND THE SCENES IN

(
This Is a mighty' interesting
slant because It reflects Mr. El
vey's appreciation of the fact that
America Is a nation of specialists
in all lines. The American movie
is f matter of, construction. . Each
man ias ?his, job to , do and the
happy coordination of all the work
in all lines alone can result in a
good picture. ;
Here's a laugh for yon anent
the situation,. Through publid
stock: selling the movie "bag"
heldj. in Europe principally by the
people'. European'financial powers
are indeed interested in the movie
business but their money is in
vested in American movie enter
prises merely "as a good invest
ment, mind you, not because they
are interested in the movie as an
art. That is something that just
isn't yet. : ' J ;
Elinor Glyn invited Mr. Elyey
to her table next: to fur own and
we heard him epthuse, over his
demitasse: ' u
"Hollywocfd is like a greats fac
tory; . It is a city of workers. No,
matter, how early I rls?e or -how
late I retire, the movie people are
always rushing around stiH
working. Folk -work longer hours
here than in any 'other place in
the world. No fonder they sac-;
ceed. They seem tireless- Why,
they do not even stop for -tea In
the afternoon." J --
:" Now, doesn't that story take
you -behind the screen?"
Chi Hong, The Chinese Charlie
Chaplin," who was starred fn
comedies here by the Century
company, has thrown up the his

What price glory?
Ah-bah; And i s-s-s-s-r! "East
Lynne" Is going to he movieized
again.' Emmett Flynn. , who so
deftly produced "Nellie the Beauti
ful Cloak "Model! and "The Yan
kee in King Arthur's Court," is
to direct the picture for William
Fox, postponing plans for the film
ing. of "Seventh Heaven" for this
purpose, ! r
v "East Lynne" has been made
several times in the movies. The

art director, was pretty bad.

in the new Paramount movie,
"Rugged Waters," and Warner
Baxter were given a call to catch
the night special to San Francisco
just as nonchalantly j as if they
were to appear at the studio at 9
a. m. And,. sure enough, at 9 the
next morning they were "shoot
ing" this sea yarn on board' ship
at the Golden Gate.'
Remember how generous D. W.
Griffith Tvas with praise of "Billy"
Bitzer, his cameraman? Griffith
Realized how important, was the
contribution of Bitzer to the kr
jUstry of his pictures. The com
bination of Griffith and Billy-was
a great one. Bitzer's -salary was
around J500 weekly, whicli was
and still is big money i for s a
cameraman. . But, the camera
man's salary usually ' isn't muni
ficent enough to support, besides
a family and a bank account, a
press agen. Thus, one rarely
hears of the cameramen who are
so important a factor in the mak
ing of fine movies.
William K. Howard, the Para
mount director, and Lucien And
rlot, " the photographer, are the
latest pair to combine in. making
f outstandingly beautiful pictures.
Have you seen "The Thundering
Herd?" Critics hare 'praised the
artistry of this, superwestern to
f-the .skies. .Many hive hailed Ho
ward as the 'rederic Remington
of the Screen.'ff Many a director
we know would pin, another medal
on himself at this and : sigh his
cameraman on a personal contract,
assuring himself. of the benefit of
his services in the future. . Not so
Howard." In an' announcement
which Howard has authorized In
the movie trade press the director
has gracefully acknowledged - the
help of Andriot and his assistant,
Harry Hollenberger.- j -j f - f
Jou folks appreciate beautiful
movies. Watch. the "camera
cranks".,-who, help thejr directors
make 'em. IAs the art of the
movies .progresses, watch the director-cameraman
combinations
develop! I

It'3 a fact. In this famous tale
of the Christian martyrs the hero
and the heroine are . married by
the jpian ,who later became canoni
zed as St. Peter feut. It sure took
"A at Griffith Presentation" to
give the kick to the story!

I caught my breath n an agony
of uncertainty at .-Grace Draper's
query to the big man. I reasoned
that any cause for alarm upon the
part - of my captora was reason
for my own encouragement.) The

Tony's garage. ..
"Either ; lie's just an ordinary
boob, with no interest in us, or
he's trailing us," George announc
ed, with his face still pressed
against the rear window. "Just
as lie came "In sight of us around
that curb.1 he slowed 'up his en
gine, and got off. If . he wasn't
trying to fix it, . he made a good
stall." -
"Is ho a cop,?" Grace Draper,
clever as she- is,' could not keep
the fctrain out of her voiee.
"Dpn't think so. He's too far
of f to see well. Tho other one
maytbe, though.T hj .i . ,
."The other r one J ' r Are there

"Yes, in one of those side-car
things." Sl!, , :.,
"Probably not cops at all, just
fool boys," Grace Draper's voice
showed relief. "But it's just as
well to find out. Tell George to
slow up. ? They can catch us any
way if they wish, and it's just as
well; to give them the once-over
when they stop or go on by us."
. .The big ..man gave the order to
George and the terrifie ' pace at
which we had .been traveling, de
creased. And it was not long be
fore we heard the-noise of the
motorcycle again. !
But . the big . man watched as
siduously from the rear window.
and George, ' with an eloquently
protesting- back, kept . varying his
speed from twenty to f lfty . and
back' again, the motorcycle did
not appear. ,, i iv ' ;
"They're Probably Trailing Us "
Sometimes the beat of its' en
jgine sounded loud and near. At
others, it was only by straining
my ears that I could hear it, and
at times it ceased altogether. The
road was a curving one, making
it comparatively, easy f dr. the mo
torcycle riders to keep out of
sight if they so "wished.; .
"Either their engine is in a bad
way and they don't know how to
fix it or else "
The big man stopped. Grace
Draper spoke decidedly. ;
"We can't monkey any longer.
Tell George to hit her up, and
then when we turn down the side
road, we can4" tell about these fel
lows. If they turn down after us,
they're probably trailing us, and
we'll have to keep on . past w the

And still the motorcycle sounded
behind us. -
"Stop her before you get out

The LiK. man complied, and
Grace .Draper pulled the fold down
over piy face so that'I could see
nothing. ,1 wondered if she meant
to smother me, cnd for a second
or two I think her hatred dallied
with the- nleasiiiK idea of shutting
off air from. me. Ttten her hand
lifted the fold of the blanket, po
that I could hreathe, although
my eyes were" blinded. Thea.her
mocking voice sounded.
"Too much fresh air isn't good

you have a little, for we need you

The imcHed threat, did cot af

to hear a recurrence or the motor
cycle engine's beat. I had no
reason for my belief, but the con
vicion had come to me that the
