DOROTHY DALTON AT
COLISEUM ON SUNDAY
Great in every respect—cast, slnry,
settings and direction, is said lo bo
Dorothy Dalton's lat ,t Paramount
picture, "Tli * Woman Who Walked
Alone," coming to the Coliseum Sun
day and Monday. Not in a long while
have all of theso attributes been
blended so harmoniously into a pro
dnetion. Never has Dorothy Dalton
Interpreted a role which fitted her
■»> perfectly a? does the high-spirited
Duchess of the stcry which has
been woven Into this picture. Hon
site reveals a fire and an action
which presents her art in a new
light.
And what an array of supporting
players— M11 ton Sills, leading man;
Wanda Hawley, the Girl Who Made
iBlondes Famous; Charles Ogle, John
Davidson, and a host of others all
popularly-k nown.
"The Woman Who Walked Alone"
Is a picture of magnificent settings.
Ranging from the baronial estates of
England down to the humble Boor
dwellings of the rolling South African
vrt'.dt they are colorful, picturesque
and remarkably veracious as to de
tail. The night scenes on the veldt
in particular, are exquisite.
George Melford has, in this produc
tion not only duplicated t ho out
standing successes or his former pro
ductions. but has combined and blend
ml thorn Into a screen creation which
must undoubtedly rank as a dramatic
masterpiece.
George H. -Melford established a
ECebrd in “The Sheik," which it would
bo difficult to surpass. This produ<
Cion perhaps marked the zenith, up
to that lime, of the work of this
noted producer of “Behold My Wif .'
“The Jucklint." and “Moran of the
Lady .Dotty.” Anl now comes Mr.
jjelfordht la. st production, “The
Woman Who Walkt I Ah no." which
in the 3cop#* of its setting, the per
fection of its acting, anl the power
of Its theme, premia -s to rank with
Mr. Mel ford's greatest success .v.
Mr.. Medford paints in vivid hues
h's broad canvases, on which are
portrayed tiro most vital of the hu
man emotions. Yet the Intimate
scenes, the -drawing rooms and bou
(loirs arc shown with no less skill
and feeling for drama.
"Tlio Cat That Walked Alone," i
short story by John Colton, furnish at
tho basts for the screen drama by)
Will M. Hltehey. Mr. Ritc'i-v, a scon
urislt of long 'exparience, adapt.' 1
"Everywoman," one of Mr. Medford's
earlier successes. More recently he
prepared for Paramount screens,
“Month, of the Rio Grande," with
l!?b? Daniels and Jack Holt, an I
other notable productions.
MARY PICKFORD LOSES
A CURL BY MISTAKE
If you had curly hair that , was
worth $20,000 a curl and somebody
cut off a ringlet by mistake, what
would you do?
Mary Pickfurd has the most exten
sive and expensive collection of curls
in captivity, and during the filming
of “I,Rile Lord Faun: leroy" hr,
brother, Jack, who with Alfred K.
Green, directed this picture, acci
dentally cut off one of Mary's $20,000
curls.
it happened thusly: As "Little
Laid Fauntleroy," Miss Pickfurd i
supposed to have licr hair cut. the
little Lord, it seems, had always ob
jected very much, to his curls. Ilia
wanned his hair cut short like other
boys. While rehearsing the scene in;
> nich tliis ambition is fulfilled, Jack
was showing the man who played tin ;
part of file barber how the trick!
.should be done, and lo, the scissor- :
slipped ansi whack went a golden
curl! Then things happened.
"Little Lord Fauntleroy” is on for
the last time tonight
