'When the drama "The Conquerex"

In the original the “i1ca\y" had

It was Weber, too. who first wore

the terrific blows dealt him by the
deadly cano‘of Lew Fields, and it
was Fields who first sank a hatchet
in a layer of cork between the hair

since become commonplacea on the
stage.

Ranks of Company
At one time Weber and Fields,"
during the successful ,Muslc Hall
days,‘ had a little personal difference
and refused to speak to each other
off the stage. Rumors of the breach
got abroad and trouble within the
tlon. To reassure the members of
the company and to forestall any
disruption in the ranks. they bought
a. big bag of peanuts. sat on a boot-
black stand in the heart of the
niaito and ate from the same bag
for three hours. The rumors wore
immediately dissipated and shortly
after the partners effected a recon-
ciliation. l '

team still clung together and now

.SHORTSTDRIES
Picture Based Upon E.
W. Hornung Tales
Of the Adventures of
Amateur Cracksman
House Peters substitutes the
down-todhc-houncorrect .garh of
the fashionable Englishman for the
rough-and-ready clothing of his cus-
tomary characterizations. in his
most recent starring vehicle. the
Universal-Jewel version of "Raffles,"
which .will be screened in the Regent
Theatre, tomorrow for a 2 day run.
"Raffles" is an adaptation of the
stories L‘. W. Hornung wrote about
his amateur cracksmun hero, and
the underlying theme of the pic-
ture is mystery.
In the picture version of the
story much of the action takes place
on board an ocean liner bound
from Calcutta to Liverpool. After
the landing .the characters, or some
of them. transfer their activities to
a country estate not far from Lon-
don.
Tho craftsman angle of the story
"is intctwoven with a dramatic love
interest. and' the majority of the
situations are of the kind that prom-
ise high tension suspense until there
comes the totally unexpected ext.
plunation.
Miss Dupont. one of tho screen's
beautiful "mysteries," has the lead-
“ing feminine role in support of
Peters. Others prominently identified
with the telihy; of the story are:
Hedda Hopper. Winter'Haii. Free-
man Wood. Kate Lester, Frederick
Esmciton. Roland Bottomley. Lillian
Langdon and Robert Bolder.
King Baggot. who directed Peters
in J‘The Tornado," first of the six
pictures he is to he starred in by
Universal, also directed “Raffles."
which is the third of the Peters
series ,and one of Carl Laemmle's
famous White List centributions.

Had to Advertise for
Baby Equine to Use
In “The Dixie Han-
dicap”
——o._.__
Pioduction of “The Dixie Handi-
cap.“ Reginald Barker's latest pic‘-
him for Metro- -.Goldwyn which is
coming to the Palace Theater tomor-
row for a three-day run. was held
up for a fortnight. due to the lack
or a young colt.
"The Dixie Handicap" is a story
of the sporting world which deals
in particular with the mac tracks.
ror certain scenes of this picture
Barker required a colt a few days
old. and. accordingly. advertistu for
one week in all Los Angcles news-
papers and also in twenty out-of-
town papers. The ad1crtlsement
stated that u very young colt was
wanted immediately for the produc~
tion and requested unvono hearing
of the birth of a cult to notify
Mr. Barker's assistant at the Mello-
Goldwyn- -Mayer studio.
To this advertisement not one
reply was received. Not only did
no one man own a more who had
recently contributed to the rapidly
dccmaslng equine population, but,
no one knew of any.
Barker was forced to advertise in
1urnl papers up and down the State
before finally getting word from a.
farm upstate that a colt only a few
dais old might be photographed on
the premises, but that transportation
of it to the studio was out of the
question. Barker accordingly had to
take a technical staff and cameras.
as well as those members of the
company who appeared in those se-
quences. on location
The result was highly satisfactory,
however. for the scenery mound the
farm proved to be exceptionally
beautiful. and the “shots" of thei
little colt frisklng in the meadow
turned out to be delightful.
Frank Keenan plays the leading
role in “The Dixie Handicap." an:
the cast includes Claire Windsor.
Lloyd Hughes. John Sainpoiis, Otis
Harlan and others.

ture. "Sally of the Sawdust." will be

something different than Griffith has

dress the audience. and some of the
stars will also make their appear-
ance on the stage and say a few
