The filming of the big feature
farce. “Charley‘s 'Aunt.” with Syd
Chaplin. the special attraction at. the
Rialto Theater. on Friday only, was
done on one big stage at the Christie
studio in Hollywood. '
The stage took on a decided Eng-

The occasion for tho transforma-
tion is the duplication of one of the
colleges at Oxford. where the scenes
of "Charley's Aunt” are laid. When
Al Christie visited the real Oxford
early last slimmer he toak dozens of
graflex photographs from every con-
ceivable angle. and from these pho-
tos the sets were built, perfect in
every detail. '
On account of the unusual amount
of electric equipment necessary to
light up the. big sets. an elevator was
installed and a regular stage “kit-
chen" constructed on the upper lev-
el for storage and handling of lights.
The interior sets. showing the col-
lege boys' rooms. were built imme-
diately next to the gardens. and the
exterior walls of the classic old
buildings were removeahle’. so that
long shots could be made from al-
most any angle desired.
Thus the picture. made almost
without any exteriors. attained an
effect of realism that; could be
achieve in no other way.
In support of Syd Chaplin in the
title role of this screamingiy funny
farce are seen James E. Page. Ethel
Shannon. Lucien Littletield. Eulaile

Modern Life Making
R i c h e s ‘Inconse-
quential, Opinion of
Moving Picture Star
In "Lady of the Night." the Me-
tro- Goldwyn- -l\layer production di-
rected ky Manta Bell and which
will open a ll day Iun at the Regent
theatre Monday. Norma Shearer
enacts the dual role of a girl of the
half-world and a. daughter of cul-
ture and refinement.
The great contrast of these two
roles has brought the question to
many minds as to whether environ-
ment has to do with the quality of
love. I
"Well. it used to," says Miss
Shearer. “But in this age of Jazz
and madness I doubt whether pov-
erty and riches reflect in the love
of women.
Human Instincts Same
"The baser passions are the hu-
man instincts controlled largely by
teachings rather than environment.
It may be sold by some that the,
daughters of cultured families love
with a cleaner and fuller love than
do the young women who have had
few advantages in life.
"In the moulding of character the
mother plays an important. part. The
girl who has the elcnnost and most
careful mother has the heat oppor-
tunities to face the problems of love
or infatuation. It makes no differ-
ence \Itlhor this mother toils in a
sweatshop or presides over a. palatial
home. .
A Matter of Strain
“It is my honest belief that true
love in one stratum of life is as
clean and pure as in any other.
Real love to real women moans sac-
rifice, and the obstacles set in the
path of pure love by poverty are in
great measure offset in the higher
social ranks by drink. cigarettes and
~gasoline."
“Lady of the Night‘” has a cast
whose members. besides lilies Shear-
er. are Malcolm McGregor. George
K. Arthur. Fred Esmeiton.- Dale
Fuller, Lew Harvey and Betty Mor-
riseey. It is an original story for
the screen by Adela Rogers St.
Johns.
THRILLS AND
ACllON lN
THIS PLAY
House «Peters Enacts
Stellar Role in Stir-
ring Mystery Melo-
drama “Raffles”
A rapid mystery melodrama. of
stirring situations is "Raffles." the
‘.
Universal-Jewel photoplay‘ which is,
being shown today and tomorrow
at the Regent Theatre.
House Peters in the title role plays
the amateur cracksman with great
skill and histronic ability. He gives
a reserved, careful delineation oi? the
most entertaining of fiction sieuths.
Although the “Raffles" stories were
written more than thirty years 880
by Ernest W. Hornung and Eugene
Presbrcy. they'have continued to be
popular with readers of all ages.
Both young and old will revel in the
exciting situations in the present
production. Drama runs rampant in
this King Baggot production.
The almoat impossible theft of a
famous string of pearls from the
neck of a fashionable woman trav.
oiler aboard an ocean steamer be-
tween Caicutta and Liverpool. forms
the groundwork of the story. From
the brilliant ballroom of the ocean
liner the stoty changes to London
and to a. large estate Just outside the
English capital.
Until the very and of the story the
mystery is sustained and the rays-
terious Mr. Raffles is successful in
keeping just a day or so ahead of
the “best brains in England" who
are bounding him to his lair. It is
a. story of hit and miss from the
point of view of the criminal experts
who are at a loss how to catch the
' elusive amateur cracksman. '
An impassioned love story is skill-
iully entwined into the mysterious
element of "Raffles,” and the her-
oine ot the affairs d'amour is none
other than the lovely Miss Dupont.
Others in the supporting cast include
Hedda Hopper, Frederick Esmelton.
Walter Long. Winten Hall. Kate Les-
ter. Freeman Wood. Roland Bottom-
ley. Lillian Langdon and Robert
Bolder. The production was directed
by King Baggot.
Newspapers And Trials.
(“Norton" in Shore Line Times.)
One wonders if like-trials in the
future'wili be developed in the same
way through the efforts ofithe jour-
nalists assigned to‘ them. If this oc-
curs then the movies have done more
harm than most of us have dreamed
of, and that. is saying more than a
little. Of course it can be and .wlll
be said that. there are educational
films but it can also be said that
they do not draw the crowds. Still
one hopes that the court house will
not become either a substitute for
or an adjunct ot the moving pica

Regent three days starting Monday.

(Continued from yesterday.)
HOLLYWOOD. June—The stars
of today as they ride up Sunset
Boulevard, on past the square they
know as Poverty Row. seem to shud~
dcr. for they see before them. like
a movie vision. the time when they.
too. perhaps. will Join the little coi-
ony of down-and-outers. and make
the rounds. from door to door. for
work.
It is a great lesson to them all to
save their dollars. Many heed the
sight and increase their bank ac-
counts with dollars that. perhaps.
would have gone for a. wcck- end
party.

Walk into one 'of these unpreten-
tious studios and you will find play-
ers you know. players you, believed
had fortunes. owned palatable
homes. drove expensive motor cars
or owner] yachts. working in a. cheap
mile-a-Ininute picture that. perhaps
is being "shot." in six days. and for
as low as $5,000.
They are not ashamed to be seen.
rather glad. for they are working
and living in the some hope they
cherished before fame beckoned to
them. of once again ascending the
ladder of fortune.
With movie fans comes the yearn-
ing to have their own producing
company. They leave a fine position.
that pays well, and start on their
own. Two pictures perhaps are
made. then financial trouble. with
the sheriff stepping into the scene
for the climax. What happens then?
The star has slost favor. the pub-
lic. has Infused to welcome has-
heens. with Poverty Row the event-
ful outcome of their producing ven-
ture. -
This happens, time and again. and
yet the successful star never knows
when he and she are well off. that
working for a good salary. in good
pictures. makes them both wealthy
and prominent. investing their own
money in a may of doubtful tenor.
and less doubtful distributing chan-
nels. is a gamble. a gamble they all
sooner or later. take. which leads to
oblivion for company and star alike.

"The Clean Heart." or "The

It presents a. new technique in mo‘~

of each character's thought and

ment after he has broken down
from overwork. His search leads
him into many curious situations.

BEHIND THE SCENES y
Manyla Star Who ,Shone Brightly Not So Many
Years Ago, Now Glad for Any Sort of Job
On Poverty Row, Street of Heartaches
That's one reason why stars have no
money.
Praises Griffith.
D. W Gliifith made pictures that
stand, even. today. as some of the
greatest ever made. Yet Griffith is.
in reality, a. poor man. Had Grif-
fith years ago worked for a salary.
and he could have commanded a
handsome one. he would be wealthy.
But he didn't. lie made millions
for others via his pictures. and fame
for himself, to be true. but he could
have achieved both fame and wealth
had he wanted to.
C01. Selig. producer of the Selig
Pictures, a pioneer. is nothing in the
world of silent drama today and not
wealthy. Lubln died practically pen-
niiese. The pioneers of the movies
are not rich—the newcomers are,
because the newcomers used the
brains God gave them.
That's why there is I1 Poverty Row.
On this row‘you will find the men
and women who made motion pic-
ture history. broke. sometimes hun-
gry, and worth nothing. to show for
their work and effolts but a mem-
my.

one day were famous. and who to-
day. in some Instances. are minors
in the motto world. The neweomers
don't even know them. Such
fame!
Florence Turner and Maurice cos-
tcllo made Viteglaph a household
word, and the company millions.
"Bronco Billy" made the first West-
crn pictures and four million doi-
lars for Essanay Films; Marguerite
Clayton was the leading woman.
Paul Panzer was the first screen
"bad man" in the "Perils of Paul-
lne." and other money-makers. At
this moment they are Just existing.
while players like Gloria. Swanson.
Wallace Beery. James Cruse and
others. once ran to them for Jobs.
This sums up l’ove‘rty How. It is
just another reason why you should
never come to Hollywood for movie
fame. for fame comes hard. harder
than the Rdcky Road to Dublin. and
he or she \‘i ho has not suffered does
not know the meaning of fame—in
the movies.
