FARRAR FILMED IN 'TURN OF WHEEL'; Opera Star's Newest Goldwyn Picture Proves Absorbing Spectacle at Strand. LILA LEE AT THE RIVOLI New Star in "Cruise of Make-Believe," Billie Burke in War, Miss Kellermann in Water. New Film Star Is Seen. War Spies and Miss Burke. Harmless Harris Husband.

Date: 02 September 1918

Geraldine Farrar, austerely beautiful and magnificent of attire, puts her hand to the unraveling of a murder mystery in her newest film, and, of course, does it successfully. The picture is "The Turn of the Wheel," at the Strand, and it marks the beginning of Miss Farrar's affiliation with the Goldwyn company. The first results of the new amalgamation are highly catisfactory. Miss Farrar is as beautiful as ever, and "The Turn of the Wheel" is considerably more engrossing than the common run of film plays. Either that, or Miss Farrar lends interest and distinction to the tale by her striking appearance and unfailing poise.Matters get under way in Monte Carlo, and travel thence to New York. Maxfield Grey is strangely silent under the charge of murdering his wife, and it becomes the duty of Miss Farrar, since she loves Grey, to clear him. In the course of events there are divers exciting happenings and some excellent acting—not only by the star, but the other mebers of the cast as well.Hassard Short contributed a fine portrait of an ungrateful character, and Violet Heming, although her beauty is somewhat diluted on the screen, did good work. The picture also enlisted the services of Herbert Rawlinson, Clarence Handysides, and Percy Marmont.New Film Star Is Seen.The Rivoli brings forward a new film star this week in the person of Lila Lee, a young woman previously known to the theatrical world as Cuddles. Under that less dignified name she was for many years a member of Gus Edwards's forces in vaudeville, but in the film a limitless future stretches before her. She has youth and beauty, equal parts, and with these to go on there is no reason why she cannot conquer the film world. Her first picture, "The Cruise of the Make-Believe," gives evidences of over-direction, but greater ease will doubtless come as the actress grows more familiar with her medium."The Cruise of the Make-Believe" is beautifully produced, and tells the story of a poor girl sponsored by a rich youth, and obtaining a taste of luxury while being made to believe that it is her father who is providing the wherewithal. The ending, of course, may be imagined. A fine characterization is contributed by Raymond Hackett as the father. Harrison Ford is the millionaire-hero.The news film at the Rivoli shows some exceptionally interesting views of the tanks in action in France.War Spies and Miss Burke."In Pursuit of Polly," the new film at the Rialto, brings the war home to Billie Burke. Miss Burke falls in with a trio of German spies fully as black as any in the films, and they would have electrocuted her if there had not happened to have been a broken connection. As it was, however, the hero, a Secret Service man, appeared at the window in time to shoot down one of the Germans just as he was throwing the switch for the second time, and Miss Burke came out of the melée with her coiffure almost unimpaired.It is hardly fare for the discriminating, but one is fortunately at liberty to gaze upon Miss Burke instead of thinking about the story. She in several times too beautiful to be a German spy, but the hero took her for one solely because she signed an assumed name to a hotel register. She was merely running away from three suitors, as a matter of fact, and her adventures in spy-dom were quite innocent. Thomas Meighan is the Secret Service hero and successful suitor, and Frank Losee also figures prominently in the cast.Annette, Queen of the Sea.At the Academy of Music the new Annette Kellermann film, "Queen of the Sea," was shown for the first time in New York yesterday afternoon. It is not so impressive as Miss Kellermann's preceding picture, "Daughter of the Gods," mainly because that film largely exhausted Miss Kellermann's film possibilities, and the present picture con do little more than duplicate the tricks of the other.Miss Kellermann's great talents as a water nymph are best displayed in a fantastic frame, and it is accordingly of mermaids and princes that the film treats. Indeed, the villain of the piece is none other than Boreas himself, impersonated by an actor whose appearance was anything but terrifying.The picture reveals Miss Kellermann in a trio of environments—the water, the air and the earth. There is some imposing sea photography in the picture, but nothing of a nature to make the onlooker catch his breath. The whole thing, as a matter of fact, has the air of being designed for children rather than grownups. As an exhibition of swimming it is edifying, but as drama it is weak.Harmless Harris Husband."For Husbands Only," a picture featuring Mildred Harris, began an engagement at the Broadway Theatre yesterday afternoon. It proved to be considerably milder than its title—a play within a play accounting for the seeming audacity of name.The central idea was good, but was hardly developed to the full. A husband is carried off to a play by the wife's suitor, and is there made to witness a repetition of events within his own household. The possible drama resulting from this premise is passed up, however, for the somewhat doubtful values of a comedy situation.
