A " HEARD ALONG KINGSTON EUNPLE OF ALLSTAR CASTS Pick of Coast Film Colony Enrolled by Gasnier For the Production. Those who hold to the belief that the day of the one star picture is passing in favor of the production which features a number of players of high calibre, will have their theory substantiated in "The Hero", the feature at the Allen theatre, "starting Monday. This remarkable play by Gilbert Emery which was an outstanding success on Broadway last season has been translated to the medium of pictures in an ambitious produc- tion under the supervision of B. P. Schulberg, president of Preferred. The name part is filled by Gaston girl in the old Keystone comedies. Then she graduated into drama, playing in Artcraft productions, and later in big pictures like "The Devil's Passkey" aad "Foolish Wives." But in all the millions of feet of film on which her featurs have been "registered," in all the thousands of scenes which she has played before he camera, never until the present production, has there been one in which she was shown kissing or be- ing kissod by a persen of the Ooppos- ite sex. After all the disappointed leading men who have muttered threats against scenario writers who would- n't write in osculatory scenes for Miss Busch, it falls to handsome Richard Dix to be the lucky recip- lent of Miss Busch's first sorsen kiss. And, even so, the long-waited"'em- brace took place in the far-off, kistoriciIsle of Man, where the Gold- wyn production was made under the direction of Maurice 'Tourneus, So Mae's record of champion every way before he will permit it to leave the studio. To give a few interesting statis- tics: "Safety Last," which is unus- ual in that it is the first seven reel comedy ever made, was almost six {months in the making. During the production, the cameraman used a total of 126,080 feet, or roughly, twenty-five miles of raw film stock. Of this amoynt, 118,073 feet, or ap- proximately twenty-three miles was developed, and nearly half was printed. All this means that the seven reels of film seen on the screen was culled from about ten miles of film that had been O. K'd by Harold Lloyd and printed. 'S THEATRE ROW A Picturization of Gilbert Emery's Celebrated Play, Portrayed by ADDED ATTRACTION ! But there is one thing of the ut- most importance. Before Harold Lloyd will ever permit one of his pictures to be shipped East, he has it pre-viewed in about seven differ- ent theatres, catering to different types of audiences. He watches the effect.

[Listen World! ---- In an old Spanish story there are related the emasing wanderings of A certain student and an agreeable *'devil on two sticks.' In return for . favors rendered the devil prompted the student that he would take him in a night time flight over the houses of the great oity and reveal to him what. went on under the divers roofs. It was done. Over the roofs they went--pompous, tur. reted roofs; mean shabby roofs; those which housed the great and saintly, and the poor and lowly. To the student's ocurtous eyes all | secrets wore uncovered But, quaintly enough, whether the roof were mean or magnificent, only one thought was found to rule the hearts of those beneath---Romanoa. y+ The age or station of the house own- er made no difference. Romance in- variably dominated those hours when a man can choose to be him- wolf. It's an old story but it is as true in America to-day as it was in Spain when students and devils cavorted together in such friendly fashion.
