“OUR PICTURES."

Another Metro feature heads the iis( for 10-moiTii\v‘s change of programme al “Our Pictures.” in “Rosemary.” Marguerite Snow is starred in “Rosemary,” and Paul Oilmore, the well-known stage star’, is featured wilh her. There is an excellent supporting 1 cast, as is evidenced by the appearance of such a notable artist as Mr Bacon. Mr Bacon was featured for seven years in Cohan and Harris’ stake productions, scoring heavily in character leads in “The .Fortune Hunter,” “The Miracle Man,” “Stop Thief,” and other successful plays. In the role of “Professor dogram” Mr Bacon figures in a rough and tumble light in an old Knglish inn. His antagonist proved so realistic in his attack that he gave Mr Bacon a hard push, and (lie veteran charae-. ter fell backwards over a table. In falling he struck a stein on the table and his hack was severely wrenched and bruised. “’Rosemary’ 1 ' was made at the Quality studios in Hollywood, California, and as the company was called Bast to work in future productions, Mr Bacon was obliged to make the .journey across the continent confined to his drawing-room. Immediately upon his arrival in New York he was placed under the care of a physician, and removed to the Hotel Remington. He hopes to he able to work in the next QualityMetro feature, even if he has to walk’ with the aid of a cane.
