Theatrical News ARARARARARARARARARARARARARARAR, ENTIRE CITY BUILT FOR BIG PHOTOPLAY "The Loves of Pharaoh" Massive and Beautiful Picture Three men can stand on top of each other in the ear of the massive sphinx built under the direction of drnest Lubitsch for his most preten- tious production, "The Loves of Pha- raoh," a-big Paramount picture which will be on view at the Regent The- atre next Monday for three days, The man who created a sensation with his masterful direction of such spectacular pictures as 'Passion' and "Deception" has chosen Egypt for his background in this fascinating romance of a king who married the serving maid of the princess he was supposed to marry, An entire Egyptian city was con- structed, with about fifty buildings, for the filming of the picture, Built with historical accuracy and archi- tecturally correct, it was not expect- ed that these motion picture settings would be so enthusiastically endors- ed by scholars and school teachers, or that classes in ancient history would study them for their Egyptian architecture, Yet this actually hap- pened at the film city which Lubitsch built, More than one hundred thousand persons are seen in the spectacular battle scenes between the Egyptians and the invading Ethiopians. Paul Wegener, who enacted "The Golem" creates a colorful role as King of Ethiopia, Emil Jannings, seen as an English king in "Deception," appears as Pharaoh, Harry Liedtke, seen with Pola Negri in "The Last Pay- ment," and Dagny Servaes, leading woman, have great parts in this Egyptian romance. And all these men centre their attentions upon a new blonde beauty, Dagny Servaes, said to be the most attractive of the sereen actresses Ernest Lu- bitsch has introduced to America. The Loves of Phargoh has just com- pleted a big three weeks' run at the Strand Theatre, Toronto, where it was criticized as being. the best at- traction of the year. This attraction will be presented at usual prices.

Mary Ince said with exercising eyes that are very brown and laden with the light of wisdom, "I have ambitions that are going to keep me in the theatre for a good many years to come, and dreams that lead right to the stellar rung of the old ladder they call success." Mary is one of those dainty dancing givls in "Everygirl" Com- pany, a big musical comedy hit, Miss Ince is one of a score of beautiful girls who dazzle the eye in owns that are georgeous, and some gowns that are more scant than gorgeous, In either garb, she is described in the vernacular as be- ing a surefire knockout, Tom McKnight, stage director of the '"Hverygirl" Company has been studying the characteristics of show girls for a good many years, and one of his favorite indoor sports is to'pro- vide the destiny 'dope' for those under his immediate command, "Kverygirl'"' comes to the New Martin Theatre Saturday Sept, 23rd.
