& TELLS STRONG TALE OF BROTHERLY LOVE

      Milton Sills Has Highly Dramatic Role

      In Centre‘s „The Sea Captain“

      From script girl, sitting behind the cameras in a pair

of horn-rimmed specs and checking every scene

of the scenario, to a dazzling player dancing the Charleston

in front of the cameras, is the Cinderella career

of Alice White, featured First National player, who appears

as second feminine lead in „The See Tiger,“ the

Milton Sills starring production at the Centre Theatre,

week starting today.

      She got a job after graduation as „script girl“

at the Chaplin studio, where Josef von Sternberg was

producing a picture.

      One day Chaplin happened to see her without her

horn-rimmed specs, and commented on her

beauty. The result was a screen test by First National, after

which she was signed to a long-term contract.

      She is now a full fledged, dizzy film flapper, and plays

second lead to Mary Astor in this First National

production, produced by Carey Wilson and directed

by John Francis Dillon.

& JANNINGS AND CHAPLIN

      Emil Jannings, in an interview upon his arrival

in New York, declared that Chaplin was the most popular

American actor in Germany:

      „They think a great deal of him in my country. They even

write books about him and his acting.“

      „No one book could do justice to Charlie Chaplin. His

is the one consistently original mind in the business.

He never has to revert to super-sets or praise agent boloney

for prominence.“

„Whom Charlie Chaplin discovered“

Editorial content. „JOSEF VON STERNBERG, the director

genius whom Charlie Chaplin discovered, hasn‘t

been been doing so well with the megaphone job. He is now

working under a new title, which means that he is

to head the photographic department of the Lasky studio.“
