Edwin Carewe, who made "Mighty Lak' a Rose," the First Na- | tional release at the Allen theatre, heves it can. And he declares he has accomplished the feat in this picture {through the acting of Dorothy Mac- | {kaill, a pretty young musician, who iplays the part of "Rose Duncan.' | When Mr. Carewe began casting | for the picture he looked about for n actress, as he describes it, | "whose soul expressed music." {More than two hundred young wo- | men applied to him. All were reject- a RICH MAN, POOR MAN, BEG THIEF--AND A GIRL AND HER VIOLIN-- 'What could be the bond between Driven like ships bound for the Port of Prince and Pauper.

The director was in despair. "I know just what I want," ha "but I can't get the type. I on the screen. I want a girl who 1s a vioMnist--a good violinist-- who {has a musical soul and who will play {the violin with such truth and sin- icerity that her spirit of mpisic will {make itself apparent on the screen |T know it can be dome. All I want is the girl." "Perhaps I can find her," said An- ders Randolf, who appears in the | product! on. He introduced Dorothy Mackaili to the director. Carewe ap- lgiri with wistful eyes and delicately ioulded, expressive features. Sha !played the violin. She was a pianist. 'She loved her music. Her whole life was wrapped up in it, "You'll do," said the director af- ter a few tests during which Miss | Mackall acted and played a Stradi- {varius which has been handed dewn lta her family for several genera- 'tions. Mr. Carewe is now delighted with kis selections, for Miss Mackaill has fulfilled his dream of transferring the could of music to the screen. The play deals with regeneration through music. During the taking of most emotional scenes the music is furnished by an orchestra ¢ff the set, but in some of the biggest scenes the emotions of the actors are sway- ed by Miss Mackaill's music. No other music is necessary. I"iss Mackaill, although only eighteen years old, has worked in motion picture studios of England, France and America. She has been on the speaking stage as well as in pictures. GRUMPY IS A GROUCH WITH HEART OF GOLD Theodore Roberts Has Big Role in Wm. de Mille's Picture "@Qrumpy." Do you know any person who seems to be an irritable old grouch, but who really has a heart of gold? praised her critically--a slender Do you know such a man; who calla his servants '"'fat«faced fools 'ana idiots," but is nevertheless loved by those servants who have grown old in 'his service. If you know of such a person, then you know the human personifi- cation of "Grumpy," the famous stage character that has been brought to the screen by Theodore Roberts, featured in the title role of Willian: de Mille"s Paramount production or "Grumpy" which will be shown at the Strand theatre next Monday. May McAvoy and Conrad Nagel are also featured with Mr, Roberts in this photoplay. Critics who have seen the picture declare it is the veteran's greatest motion picture characterization; su- perior even to Mr. Roberts' "Uncle Josh' in "The Old Homestead," lauded everywhere as the most lov- able personage ever portrayed for the silversheet, There are a mililon "Grumpies" in the country; perhaps ten million in the world. Yet, at heart, each o1 the '"'Grumples' is the same--a be- loved and loving old man, ready to give his life's Blood to bring happi- ness to others; yet grouchy -more through force of habit than temper- ament. In "Grumpy," Mr. Roberts 1s the cental figure in the hunt for the robber of a valuable diamond. How he follows a clue supplied by a gardenia with a woman's hair wrap- ped around the stem, and finaly brings the culprit to justice and brings two loving hearts together, makes one of the most fascinating picture storiess ever told on wne screen. "Grumpy" is based on the famous stage play of the same name in which Cyril Maude starred. Chir World! 2 Augustus Wimmer does not ap- prove of Modern: Youth. He has been telling me about it In outraged accents. 'They're a bunch of young up- starts!" snorts Mr. Wimmer. "Not an ounce of politeness or unselfish- ness amongst 'em. Don't know what respect is! And conceited--there's nothing you can tell them, nothing. They're positively lawless. Why, at that last party the children gave, the wife actually caught one of the young cubs with a flash of moon- shine. You'd better believe I or- dered him home. In fact, I've put my foot down on this whole business of turning our home into a mad- house.) Agnes and Richard can find plenty of amusement without invit- "Ange gang of tpodlums. * T won't stand it--that's all. Why, it I had acted that way when I was a boy No, Mr. Wimmer wéildn't have acted that way when he was a boy. But #t never seems to occur to the worthy gentleman that the main rea- gon he didn't act thit way when he was a. boy was because the world wasn't acting that way when he was ® boy. Augustus Wimmer often re- minds his children that he was con- tent to stay home and read instead of squandering his money in the mov _les; that he never jazzed; that he didn't want to leave school and earn his living when he was sixteen; that he didn't nag his father for a flivver when he was a Freshie at High. "Then he extends his remarks to in- clude the ladics of his day. What wonderful women the world saw then! They didn't rouge or powder ; or go Into business or get divorced! ; But now everything has gone to the | dogs. Of all these delightful facts does Mr. Wimmer vemind his children. But he forgets to tell them that the main reason why he read instead of | going to the movies was because there wasn't such a thing as a movie in existence. Nor had jazz or fliv- vers or man-size wages for juveniles been invented. For the same good reason, Mrs. Wimmer didn't carry a wanity box when she was sixteen. Nor did her Aunt Lissie divorce Uncle Ben and go into business, sithough they fought like cats and dogs. You can hardly accumulate a divorce and a business career when they're as rare as alligator pears at the North Pole. BUT-- Did Mrs. Wimmer dip her nose into mother's cornstarch box before she started for the Young People's Sociable? Ask her. Did young Au- HEROINES OF HISTORY Francolsc D'Aubergune, kuewn to si [ YT WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY ELSIE ROBINSON THIS TALK 1S ABOUT YOUTH gustus rebel against the ancient family phaeton and raise Cain be- cause he couldn't have one of those new red buckboards? Ask him. Youth is Youth, whether it func- tion in 1863 or 1923. With each springtime the sap rises in the tree. Always the same old urge sets it rising; always the sap is the same. But the tree differs. When the tree 18 young, the sap" travels along sheltered branches, which no winds toss. The buds unfold in the old, old peace of the forest shade. But as the tree grows, thé security is lost. The great tree thrusts itself beyond the sheltering growth. Storms toss its branches, and the sap within bolls with the turmoil without. 'The story of the growing tree is the story of Youth and the Human Race. Human nature hasn't chang- ed, but we're doing different things with it. Once again the sap is ris- ing, as it rose when Mr. Wimmer was a boy, but now iit travels a vast- ly different path. The world was changing before the war came, but the war quickened the process a milllon-fald. Within a few months it had wrecked a social order which might have stood for a hundred years, and wrought indus- trial changes which would have been || equally slow in maturing. Institu-| tions to which men had clung for generations proved inadequate. Pre. judices which we had preserved from our earliest tribal society were shown to be foolish and hampering in the pitiless glare of that bloody illumination. Overnight a world was made--and Youth did that re- making. Youth actually fought that war, Youth which had never before been trusted with world affairs. Youth held the nation together at home while the war waged on. Age guid- ed and planned, but Youth took the risks, Youth "put things over." Men who were almost children built the ships, ran the railroads, travelled | the air. And beside them worked girls of their own age, hitherto pro. | tected and relegated to the back- | ground. Youth did all this. Not a new {brand of Youth--the same old | brand, but released from apron strings. And how did Youth em- erge from such an orgy of power? It emerged conceited, lawless, im- { patient, hungry for excitement, and with precious little respect for the generations and the institutions which had gotten the world into such a mess. It emerged just as Youth would always have emerged had it been given such tremendous responsibilities, and such awful tools wherewith to handle the job. For Youth has always been oon- ceited, impatient and lawless, it given the chance. It has always, in its heart of hearts, had previous lit- tle use for the opinions and institu- tions of the older generation. But never before have events so conspir- ed to prove the correctness of d'Auvergne lost what little money he had left. Francoise returned to France when she was 10 years old. Then follow- ed years of precarious living and intermitten education provided by relatives . At this time, Scarron, the deform- ed poet and satirist, was the vogue at the court of France. It was fere that he met the charming Francoiss obtained a small pension for the young widow. Mme. Scarron soon cancellod re obligation. . to the King's mistross. About this time Mme. de Monter span became the mother of a child by the King. Mme. Secarron took charge of the baby and a ap not only the first but several otnérs of the fvorite's children in secrecy. It was in this way that the King met Mme. Scarron.He had the high- est regard for her and appreciated her unseifish devotion te his chil- dren. Her pension was increased to such a degree that shé was able to pur- chee the éstate of Maintemon, which Youth's attitude. Never before was Youth' given such a chance to "crow." It all seems most unpleasant, doesn't it, Pal ? It does not endear us to Youth, unless the particular segment of youth happen to belong to us. But nevertheless, in those very qualities which seem so objection- hope of the world. If Youth were not conceited, in- dependent, impatient, lawless, fool- hardy and contemptuous of past achievement, what would happen to the Human Race? Such things are only ithe boiling of the sap in the spring. Without the rising of the sap, there would be no new growth and the tree would rot and die. If Youth did not believe in itself, and feel that it could better the mecord of the past, Mankind would be blown as dry dust down the long aisles of eternity. Only by such assertion, and disrespect and disobedience do we progress. May God pity us on that day when Age shall be able to make Youth obey its every command, when there shall be no more impatience with existing conditions, no more rebel- lion or defiance. For then we shall indeed be finished! But does this mean that Youth should be allowed to roam loose from all decent restrictions, menac- ing society like a dangerous maver- fick? No. Nor will Youth waht to roam loose, hurting and wasting, it Age will put aside its false pride and give Youth the companionship and respectful hearing which Youth deuires. For Youth does ardently desire companionship, and Youth will do great things if you will but per- ceive and salute the sacred fire which it carries in that flaunting torch. But preachments drive it to sneering and desertion. Youth can love an equal, but it will acknow- ledge mo peer. It will take no ex- perience second hand, but it will share its adventures in friendliness it Gray Hairs will consent to be an- other adventurer on that friendly plane. And herein lies Age's greatest opportunity, if Age but realized it. Comradeship is so much more vital izing, so much more complimentary than any amount of respect or ob- edience! To dream with Youth, to rebel with Youth, to build witn Youth--here's the MainChance. Why will we pass it by for the doubtful joy of a Mttie carping eriticism?
