At The Majestic
When you see thirty nr forty cho
rus girls romping joyously across the
stage as if it were an exceedingly
"easy matter to do so, one would
naturally think it an easy matter to
engage and train these young wom
en. But when a producer endeavors
*to secure theso girls lie finds it a
problem.
t The chorus of "Chuckles of 1 f>21 ”
in which Jean Bedini will present
Clark and McCullough at the Majes
tic theatre today are the pick of
over 200 girls tiiat were called for
,tha first rehearsal.
A producer must have girls that
possess three Qualifications; to sing,
dance and above all t>o smile. To se
cure girls that can qualify all these
three requirements is a task.
Fifteen years ago the salary of a
chorus girl was $15 and they were
plentiful. Today their salaries range
I from $10 to $75 and they are hard
to ge* at that figure to go with a
travelling organization.
There is only one school for chorus
gil ls in America and that is in Phila
delphia but the demand is so great
that this institution is not able to
supply even a small part of it. There
fore most producers must train their
own chorus girls which usually re
quires time and much patience.

THEATRES
‘•The Old Nest” Coming
Being the mother of six screen
children does not disconcert Mary
Alden, well known film actress, in
the least. A visitor to the Goldwyn
studios during the the filming of
"The Old Nest,” which comes to the
Ditmas theatre for six days, com
mencing Monday, September 19, ask
ed Miss Alden how she liked mother
ing such an unruly bunch. To which
the actress replied casually, "Oil,
this is nothing; I'm used to it,’” and
the visitor left the set wondering
just what Mary meant. What Miss
Alden did mean was that she has
played mother to most of the fam
ous men in the theatrical world,
among them Henry Walthal, Donald
Crisp, Jack Pickford, Jim Kirkwood,
etc. Her interpretations of the
mother parts in the screen version of
Ibsen's "Ghosts," and of the mother
in Griffith's "The Battle of the Hex
es.” are considered among the finest
ever done.
('online; to Majestic
Theatrical enterprises are about
the only branch of human endeavor
where there is no veneration for age,
public demand making it minute
and it has been by following this
rule that Billy Watson and his "Big
Show” maintains a superior standing
in the burlesque field.
When Billy Watson and his "Big
Show" come to the Majestic Monday,
September 19, there will be present
ed an ray of burlesque, vaudeville
and extravaganza; there will be
dance numbers which are positively
ne»r.
The organization is headed by the
chief of the fun brigade, the only
and original Billy Watson, W'ho
seems to gain in popularity each
season; Clarence "Grogan" Wilbur,
Andy Smith, Charles Smith, Billy
Bynch, Beatrice Harlowe and the
Morette Sisters sensational act, and
a host of others too numerous to
mention. This assemblage of play
ers afford a splendid entertainment
by merely giving their various
vaudeville specialties for which they
have obtained fame. But individual
cleverness is merely an adjunct to
the mirthful action of the comedy
in which all revel. Watson's "Big
Show" is said to be the snappiest of
the year, "full of pep." But speak
ing of "pep," wait till you see the
twenty little shapely dolls that Mr.
Watson has engaged to take care of
the dancing end of this year’s show.
At the Dltinns Tomorrow
All women are potential mothers,
whether blessed with offspring or
not. It is indeed one of the bless
ings of life that the divine attri
bute of motherhood asserts itself
in the life of every woman. The
instinct to "mother” and treat with
tenderness and solicitude the
young and helpless is one of the
ilnest of feminine traits, the world
over.
It fell to the lot of a little girl to
mother a baby brother after her
father had been sent to prison for
a crime he never committed, and
her mother had died of a broken
heart; but the little girl never fal
tered. No mother could have been
more faithful to her own offspring;
and though beset by perils, she un
swervingly brought her little charge
through it all, and in the end was
well repaid Tor her self-sacrifice.
This theme has been utilized in a
photoplay, said to be of exceeding
power and beauty, produced by
William B'ox. The story is called
“The Mother Heart,” and serves
Shirley Mason as a starring vehicle.
Howard M. Mitchell wrote the story
and directed the picture, which will
open at the Ditmas Theatre tomor
row.
The program also includes Bert
Lytell in "The Man Who,” a picture
that is one of the best ever produced.
Today and Tomorrow at Crescent
Buck Jones, the William B'ox
star, will be seen for the last times
today at the Crescent theatre in
"The Big Punch,” an unusual
screen drama which has had a
highly successful engagement at
this playhouse.
The star has won new laurels by
his work in this picture. The cli
J 1II X XX m. • — *■ --- ■
max of the story is startling and
never fails to grip the audience
There are plenty of big moments
and intensely dramatic situations.
The production thrills and satisfies.
Jules G. Furthman is the author
and Jack Ford the director.
The program also includes Viola
Dana in "The Puppets of Fate."
Tomorrow the feature at this pop
ular playhouse will be William Far
num in "Tho Great Sacrifice.” This
is without doubt one of the best pic
tures this famous screen star has
ever made. Every one knows Far
num and delights in seeing his pro
ductions. Many proclaim him the
greatest actor on the silver screen
today and his popularity shows this
to be true in a measure.
In his new production Farnum
gives a very thrilling bit of acting
from start to the finish of the pic
ture. It is one of those pictures
that will hold you to your seat from
the first to the last reel. Truly if
you delight in seeing wonderful pic
tures you will enjoy this one.
