"MRS DANE'S DEFENCE." 'Pauline Frederick, who will appear at the theatre to-morrow night in a Paramount screened version of Henry Arthur Jones! famous play, "Mrs Dane's-Defence," will wear sewne especially stunning gowns. One of these, an.evening gown of heaviest brocade, is notably gorgeous. Miss Frederick tried on over two hundred.djesses before she was" satisfied with the effect. Hugh Ford, who directed the picture, says that "Mrs. Dane's Defence -'■ will bo one of Miss Frederick's most popular and .elaborate productions. The exterior scenes of "Mrs Dane's Defence," most of which were supposed to be "Somewhere in Canada," were in reality taken outside of Yonkcrs, New York. This is the town that is known to its inhabitants as the "finest town in the country"—and to New Yorkers as "the jumphig-01l place." Pauline Frederick, the star oE-"Mrs Dane's Defence," being a thorough New Yorker, naturally rcgaroTW it as such until she had the good" fortune to KCC it. The scenes which were taken near Yonkcrs are some of the most beautiful in the, entire production of "Mrs Dane's Defence," which, it is said, contains some exquisite photography.
