RICHARD TALMADGE RISKS , LIFE IN EVERY FILM NEW MARY PICKFORD * PHOTOPLAY BOOKED HERE Richard Talmadge, who plays the strenuous hero in "In Fast Company," a Truart picture, coming to the Maâ€" ple. Theatre ‘next . Wednesday _and Thursday, February. 18th and 19th, takes his life in his hands so many times during the course of the fast pictures he is making for Truart, that he cannot obtain any insurance. . No company will risk their money. on a man who daily goes .through <the stunts which Talmadge is icalled upon to do. hq | But he has a financial and moral protectionâ€"his wife. Mrs. Talmadge arranges Dick‘s income so°â€" that . a. sinking fund js provided in case he is disabled, and she almost always, acâ€" companies him on‘ location where his stunts are performed. (Only recently on a hot day in Hollywood, she climbâ€" ed with him to the roof of a nineâ€" storey office building where the star put over one of his most daring, feats with Miss Mildred Harris, his leading woman. She watched the preparation for a thrill, saw him leap from â€" the building and land on the roof! of anâ€" other and then calmly sat down and rgad a magazine until he was ready for his next. f o Nothing that her husband attempts ever shocks her, but she admitted she got a little thrill on the day mentionâ€" ed, when 'f‘almadge sprung an imâ€" promtp stunt.. With James Horne, his director, he was looking over the building trying to find the best place to do a dive from one of the floors onto a pile of bags that workmen had placed below to catch his fall. Talmadge wanted to do the dive from the third floor. Horne insisted that if he did he would break his neck, and said the second floor was high enough. They were in the winâ€" dow of the third floor during the arâ€" gument. 1 = gesgp u) "Here," said Talmadge,; "I‘ll show you," . and before Hotrne could stop him he had dived head first out of the window. â€" Horne and Mrs. Talmadge looked out, â€" rather _ fearfully, _ and Horne admits he thought he had lost his star. But Talmadge appeared up the stairs a few minutes later, and seemed delighted that he had proved his contention. "There, I told you I could do it," was his only comment, and a few minutes later repeated the performance before the camera. & MOVIESF RICH IN DRAMA ‘ THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON (Advance Reader) Among the big achievements in Frank Lloyd‘s production of "The Sea Hawk" was Camp Lloyd on the Isthâ€" musâ€" at the northeast end of Santa Catalina Island, off the California LLOYD BUILDS A coast. | "The Sea Hawk" is a First Naâ€" tional picture which.will be shown at the Beaver Theatre for entire week of February 16th. : were given for the men; a makeâ€"up tent, a barber shop, a canteen, a hosâ€" pital tent, a wardrobe . building,. a bathhouse, a film vault and an execuâ€" tive .office. i h Also an ocean pier had to be conâ€" structed and at the seaward end of it a three storey Algerian slave house with a high mingret had to be built. Three other Algerian. buildings . also ‘were constructed for atmosphere. The four ancient, ships, ranging from 105 to 192 feet in length and manned by from 100 to 400 men each, were anchored in the coveâ€"harbor. Two barges and four motor boats brought supplies daily from the mainâ€" land and every other â€" day anâ€"aeroâ€" plane brought fresh film and prints of negatives exposed the day before. Camp Lloyd sprang inte}1 being when the early sea scenes for the photoplay were being made.~ ~ Sixtyâ€"five miles from the Hollywood . studios, forty miles from the harbor of SanPedro, the nearest source of supply, it conâ€" sisted of 150 tents, each equipped with an jelectric light, a bureau and mirâ€" ror, an iron hospital cot, two chairs and a supply of blankets; a mess hall accommodating 700 men at one time and under the supervision. of two forâ€" mer, army commissary sergeants and eighteen assistants; an assembly hall where nightly orchestral concerts, raâ€" dio.concerts, wrestling matches, boxing bouts and impromtu _ entertainments Complete Village Constructed for Acâ€" tors and Assistants on Location For three weeks Camp Lloyd buzâ€" zed like an army cantonment, the 700 principals, extras, technicians and laâ€" borers rising at 5.30 each morning to army bugle calls and retiring at 10 each evening at the sound of ‘"taps." Camp Lloyd was a picturesque village indeed each morning as the sun arose from the ocean in the East and cast its wreflections upon galley . slaves wearing _ abbreviated _ _clothes _ and brownish orange grease paint®@ upon their bodies, corsairs in chain mail and helmets and technicians in modern atâ€" tire. who are anxious to see. the quick change and a successful actor taking a double part they will visit the Maveâ€" ty. Mr. Harry, Dewitt, in the play "Who‘s Looney Now?" very successâ€" fully portrays the part of the sedate husband, who while at the suramer beach finds himself in a very serious predicament. . Having changed _ his clothes , in the bathing house, a lunatic, who is . his exact double, steals his clothes and is looked upon by the hotel guests as the husâ€" band. It is a clever piece of acting and very fine amusing situations are created in this play. Mr. Dewitt plays the part with exceptional skill. "Teeth", the latest starring vehicle of Tom Mix, with Tony, the horse, and Duke, the dog, (a William Fox production directed by J. G. Blystone, was adapted from the popular novel, "Sonny," written by Virginia Hudson Brightman, a former well known newsâ€" paper woman, and Clinton H. Stage. In the original story, "Sonny" is an Airedale that has many hairbreadth escapes. The book is described by its publishers as "a dog story, a love story and a Western story." In the screen version the sequence and â€" incidents have â€" been â€" slightly changed to allow greater opportunities for Tony, the horse, and Duke, ‘the dog, and the result is the best Tom Mix vehicle of his ‘extended stellar career. This picture is playing at the Beaver Theatre on Thursday, Friâ€" day and Saturday this week. "TEETH"‘ ADAPTATION _ FROM POPULAR NOVEL DAVID AND GOLIATH BATTLE REVIVED IN "PETER PAN" The battle of David and Goliath has a spectacular revival in the Herbert Brentonâ€"Paramount production jof J. M. Barrie‘s classic fantasy "Peter Pan," which will be shown at the Parkdale Saturday. A s â€" The /role of David is played by trim little Betty Bronson who plays the role of "Peter Pan." | § 1 Ernest Torrence, of _ "Covered Wagon" fame, plays the role of Goliath and comes to an even more surprising defeat than his ancient predecessor. Torrence, six foot five inches in height and built proportionately, fights with a cutless four feet long which weighs so much that "Peter Pan" could scarcely lift it with two hands. Peter fights the battle with a light rapier. Lo nmonnferace sns _ L The fight takes place on the decks of a sixteenth century pirate ship comâ€" mandede by Ernest Torrence as the ferocious pirate, Captain Hook. Both fighters were trained for the battle by Europe‘s champion swordsmen, Henri Uyttenhove. Following the battle, in which Peter is victorious, the â€"defeated Captain Hook is made to walk the plank in good old fashioned style. Featured in "Peter Pan" with Betty Bronson and Ernest Torrence _ are Cyril Chadwick, Virginia Brown, Faire and Anna May Wong. As a resident and property owner in York County, I would like to make a little statement on behalf of the Maveâ€" ty Theatre management.

Acâ€" cordingly I entered the theatre and was astonished to find everything fitâ€"‘ ted up so beautifully and with such harmony. A glare of lights illuminatâ€" ed the entire house and the new scenâ€"} ery, balcony, new floor, and new seats were all of the very best and made with an eye of adding to the artistic beauty of the place. The drapes and decorations are also worthy of menâ€" tion and will make any. downtown theatre sit up and take notice. I was asked to return that evening and reâ€" view the Broadway Masqueraders in their splendid play, "Charlie‘s Aunt." This was indeed a scream from beginâ€" ning to end, and those taking part hanâ€" dled it in a very neat manner, which appealed to the entire house, which was packed to capacity. I enjoyed that little play to the fullest extent and quite believe that everyone presâ€" ent} appreciated it as much as I did. West Toronto has every reason to feel proud that in their midst is a theatre where the whole family may enjoy an evening of â€" entertainment.
