Miss Alma Tayler.
The first European movie star
has arrived in Hollywood on a
"reciprocity visit." For the past
few months American film celeb
rities have been flocking to Eu
rope and so it is not surprising to
find at least one English film star
in the American motion picture
0i '. ,, . ., . . .Hindu temple, which was

Griffith riajs Make Real Romances
Every new Griffith film nowadays
seems to have a wedding among
the principals, and "The TJwo Or
phans" qualified recently when
Frank Puglia, the Italian player,
was married to Miss Irene Vener
oni. And now the romantic record is
complete, for the last three pro
ductions, beginninng -when Richard
Earthelmess and Mary Hay stopped
acting before the camera to honey
moon behind the world during the
making of "Way Down East."
"Dream Street's" romance came
slowly By way of the middle west
with the marriage in St. Paul of
Ralph Graves, the leading man, to
Miss Marjoria Seaman, a New York
girl, who was in Minnesota playing
the leading part in a film made by
an independent company.
Miss Seaman and Graves met
during the filming of "Dream
Street" when the young lady, with
the family friend. Major William
Thaw, as pilot, came to the Griffith
studios seeking a career in the
films. She was given small parts
to test her development.
The Italian theatrical colony cel
ebrated the wedding of Miss Vener
oni and Pnglla recently. Puglia is

Griffith found while touring among
the native theatres in search for
v!T aV.rtal in hi8 Players. Miss

Kings," in which he will sing the
tenor role for the first time Sat
urday afternoon, with the otherwise
familiar cast including Mary Gar
den, George Baklanoff. Edouard
Cotreuil and Constantin Nicolay
with Polacco conducting.
"Otello" will be given for the
first time this season on Saturday
night with the same great cast

Marguerite de la Motte, the pret
ty little actress who played with
Douglas Fairbands in "The Mark
of Zorro" and "The Nut," is to have
an East Indian role next. "The
Daughter of Brahma" is the name
of the picture and Miss de la Motte
will play the title role, that of Sar
isvati, the daughter of Brahma.
The picture will be J. L. Froth-
ingham's next production for re
lease by First National- It is the
story of India and English official
dom. Prominent in the story is the
action which occurs in a rained
repro
duced with great pains by the pro
ducer and director. Much of the
success of the reproduction was
due to Technical Director Magee,
an expert on Indian architecture
and customs.

The reason for Ignaz Friedman's
large number of engagements may
be found in this artist's tremendous
scholasticism, which 13 recognized
throughout the world. Himself a
composer of importance, having
over 100 published works available,
his profound musicianship and stu
dious art will be enduringly re
membered by his editions of Chopin
and Bach, much in use by piano
students and teachers in this coun
try. Friedman is at present work
ing upon a similar Schumann piano
edition.
Known in Europe and South
America for many years as one of
the greatest living virtuosos of the
pianoforte, Friedman has been un
able to visit America previously on
