THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 28, 1921. 10 THE A TERS PATHE ANNOUNCES CONTROL CHANGE American Stockholders Now Direct Foremost Independent Film Dis tributing: Organization. In one of the most important motion picture transactions in recent years, the present American stockholders and American management of Path Ex chancre, Inc., foremost independent dis tributor of films in the world, have just acquired control of the $7,000,000 com pany from Pathe Cinema, Ltd., of Par is, according to announcement yester day by Manager E. E. Heller, of the Charlotte Exchange. Announcement to this effect is made in a cable from Paul Brunet, presi dent of Pathe Exchange, Inc., who has been in Paris for several weeks ar ranging the details of the transaction with the officials of Pathe Cinemit, Ltd. Charles Pathe, founder of the world wide organization bearing his name, re tains a large share" of the stock in the American concern. ' The transaction means that hereaf ter the American stockholders of Pathe Exchange, Inc.. will direct the policies of the organization. There will be no change in the general policy, but ther? is indicated a broadening of its activi ties. The policy rigidly adhered to since its inception of remaining out of the field of theater ownership will cor. tnue to be implicitly followed by Pathe Exchange, Inc. At the headquarters of Pathe, 35 West Forty-fifth street, New York, it was announced that Mr. Brunet was accompanied abroad by Edmund C. Lench. of 120 Broadway, who heads tha group of American stockholders taking over the majority interest in the Paths American Company, and Paul Puller, of Coudert Brothers, each of whori has been a member of the board of directors of Pathe Exchange, Inc., for five years. . Mr. Lench's associate, Charles Merrill, also has been a stock holder for five,, years. Bernhard Ben: son, vice-resident of Pathe Exchange, Inc., is associated with Mr. Lench and Mr. Merrill. , Complete details are lacking in Mr. Brunet's cable, received at the Patiie executive offices in the Pathe building, . i i - l V.n4- Dntha -mill nnt DUl XI IS KI1UWI1 Ullll :iOi"J ; deviate from its policy 'of releasing th-3 product of the foremost independent! motion nicture nroducers. Mr. Brunet; will leave France probably in a month from now, ana on nis arrival neie is expected to give full particulars of th-3 whole transaction. It is known that Mr. Brunet will con tinue as president, a position he has held for more than a year, prior tc which he was vice-president and gen eral manager of the Pathe American Company. It is understood that the employes of Pathe will have more voice in the actual direction of the affairs of Pat be Exchange, Inc., under the plans form ulated by Mr. Brunet when he left for Paris with the idea of consummating the transaction just concluded. With 33 selling offices located in tha most important key centers throughout the United States, Pathe has earned first rank in the field of independent distributors. This week will mark the issuance of its greatest feature thj Rudyard Kipling picture, "Without Benefit of Clergy" at the Capitol thea ter. . After many producers, both American and "British, had failed to induce Mr. Kipling to write directly for the screen, it was Mr. Brunet who" succeeded in getting the master story-teller to re verse his stand. The company has spe cialized in productions from famous stage plays and novels by the besl authors. Many of the foremost producers in the American screen industry have re leased their product through Pathe Ex change. Known in the film industry as "the house of serials and short sub jects," Pathe has always been active in the development of this particular branch of entertainment. It fostered the serial drama from its inception and today outranks the field in this spe cialty.

L . , i.t i - .1 1, , - w 11IOI11UUUU Spectacular Shipwreck in "Lying Ops." Hundreds of panic-stricken "passen gers" fighting frenziedly . for places in life-boats,- while ship's officers wi.h loaded revolvers guarantee 'the unwrit ten law of the seas, "women and chil dren first," comprise many of the most spectacular and intense scenes of "Ly ing Lips," the . new Thomas H. Ince super-production, which the Broadway theater will present -the first four days of this week, the initial showing being yesterday. The play has more than enough such scenes to make ' two ordinary special productions, but this play is one which will linger in the memory of those who see wonderful scenes and feel the va ried emotions which are aroused by the unfolding of this story. The fear and excitement caught by the cameras was more real than as sumed. In lowering the boats, filled with women in flimsy evening dresses, squalid steerage passengers and fright ened children, the crews let the davit ropes out unevenly, tilting the big life boats at alarming angles and drawirg screams of actual terror from the ;o men and children who were in no wise reassured by the presence of govern ment launches nearby, instantly avail able for rescue service. House Peters, who was selected to portray the leading male role of Blair Cornwall, a sturdy Canadian cattleman, has been one of the outstanding fig ures of the silent drama for a number of years. The role he has in this play affords him the greatest scope and op portunity to create unforgettable screen character. Florence Vidor, who , is co-starred with Peters, was cast as Nance Ab bott, a luxury-loving daughter of Brit ish aristocracy, strong in the matter of lineage but weak financially. Miss Vi dor is a striking beauty and possesses unequalled dramatic talent. of a story he has written about that kind of rapid-fire wooing. We are inclined to believe that T. Roy Barnes, who plays this male role with consummate ability, would have won his bet even if the scenario had definitely arranged, for his downfall. For T. Roy Barnes is the winning sort, and never has his handling of a comedy situation been " more adroit. With such support it is no wonder that Miss . Hawley. was a.ble to put across the briskest, most delicious piece of comedy acting that she has yet offer ed her big . public. -" To add to ;the fun, the cast includes the always J delightful Walter Hiers, cast in the role of an amateur detec tive who tries in vain to save the giry from the Speedy Wooer, under the im pression that the latter is trying to kidnap her. 1 It is only fair to warn those who have not yet ' seen the' picture that they'd better take some clean kank ies along; for they will surely laugh till they . cry .over, the situations in this "swift-moving, wholesome comedy. For clean fun without and sex prob lems or blood and thunder, "A Kiss In Time" can be heartily recommended. The photoplay is an adaptation, by Douglas Doty, of a," saory by Royal Brown, which "apupeared. in McClures Magazine in October, 1920. Although the situation borders on farce, the skil ful handling of the whole thing by cast and director, saves it from that classi fication and puts it high up on the list of ' recent romantic' dramas. RICHMOND PASTOR TO VISIT CHURCH HERE "A Kiss In Time" With Wamia Haw ley and Walter Hires at the Impe rial Tomorrow Only. Laughs and thrills were well com bined in "A Kiss In Time" which will be shown tomorrow only at the Impe rial Theatre. Wanda Hawley is the star of the piece, and it is one of her most successful comedies. "A Kiss In Time" might be called a peachy comedy, for besides featuring this prettiest of blondes, who is, you just know, even; without the aid of color photography, the peaches-and-cream type, the best scenes are laid in a peach orchard in full broom. If anything any prettier has even been shown on the screen we'd like to know what. Director Thomas Heffron deserves a distinguished service medal or a Chautauqua salute or 'something equally nice just for his orchard scenes alone, though they are by no means the only admirable ones in the picture. The plot is all about a wager that a certain independent and rather cyn ical young lady can be kissed within four hours after a man meets her. Not just any man, of course. Oh dear no! But by this particular man, who has incurred the lady's contempt because M The Coolest Place in Town Last Times TODAY No Advance in Prices Elsie WITT 1AM D.TAYLORS PRODUCTION Sacred and Profane Love" CtCpammountQiclure ADDED INTERNATIONAL NEWS and TOPICS OF THE DAY SHOWS START 11, 12:45, 2:30, 4:15, , 6, ; 7:45, 9:30 Rev W.

SLEEPING PARTNERS IS WELL PRESENTED v ' -;V t "Sleeping Partners," an amusingr farce adapted from the French aid extremely popular with American theater-goers for some years, was well presented at the Academy theater-goers for some years, was well presented at the Academy theater by the Jack X. Lewis Players Monday night as the last play, but one, that they will pre sent before closing the present season; ; - Only four characters appear in tho play but these were carefully selected from the Lewis Players' cast and pre sented the offering admirably. Ranion Greenleaf took the role of the bachelor man about Paris; Anthony Carroll took the role of the "sleeping" husband, Al bert Bushee was the servant and MJss Edna Grandin was the Parisian wife. The offering is full of comedy of i a swift, incisive Kind and the four mem bers of the Lewis cast that undertook to present it here for the first half "of the week did it in great style. Mr. Greenleaf, who had possibly the most difficult role, acquitted himsait with special credit. Miss Grandin, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Bushee also did ad mirably in their roles. ' ; Instead of playing "The Call of the Heart" the latter half of the week, the company will present "The Wolfe," one of the strongest plays of last season's engagement here. It is a story of th? Canadian wilds and is dramatic to a degree, with a fine love story running through it. U. S. PARTICIPATION URGED. - .Washington. June 28.
