In presenting its year book edition CAMERA!

feels that it is performing a service of commer-

cial as well as historical value, both to the

Motion Picture industry and to the newspaper profession.

The compilation of the data contained in these pages has been made possible by the hearty co-operation of the writers accredited and by

constant reference to our own past files and

those of trade magazines. It is a pleasure to

acknowledge that reference to the files of the Exhibitors' Trade Review, the Motion Picture News and the Moving Picture World has helped

in many ways.

This edition is but the beginning, and the year

book department is already at work compiling

the next edition, which will be much more com-

plete and larger in scope. THE PUBLISHERS Page Tv>ent\)-eighl 'The Digest nf the Motion Picture Industry" CAMERA! YEAR BOOK EARLY DAYS OF MOTION PICTURES

Our partnership started four years ago—one office, one typewriter

(rented), one assistant on more or less steady salary.

We worked hard and grew rapidly, and added to our office space and

forces from time to time.

We have found it necessary to once again enlarge our offices and add

to our staff of competent assistants.

All our departments continue to grow, whether engagement, publicity,

book and play, studio, film marketing, photographic, financing. A friendly

rivalry exists between each department.

We are grateful to the producers, managers, exhibitors, directors, artists,

cameramen and technical men who have given us such generous support and

who have made our success possible.

It is our earnest endeavor to merit and increase our clients' patronage

and confidence. # WILLIS & INGLIS WRIGHT & CALLENDER BLDG.

G. ALLEN WILLIAMS,

President and General Manager of the Universal Scenario Corporation, announces a series of mirth provoking Klean Kut Kewpy Komedies, being a revival of the late John Bunny stories, a welcome diversion to the present day "slap stick" variety. These two reel rapid fire come- dies, interwoven with clever plots and many original situations, will be a surprise, and, without doubt, will reach the pinnacle as a laugh

producer to the vast majority of cinema patrons. It is the policy of Mr. Williams to produce stories of the highest type, thus presenting clean humor and satisfaction to an enthusiastic public. A Kewpy

Komedy is the last word in quality productions, and will be watched for with great interest. "Kewpy" Williams, the well known versatile comedian, and beautiful Charlotte Chandler, are two of the many reasons why Kewpy Komedies mean success. Guy Eakins will direct these comedies.

The morale of the men seriously af- fected, the General thought if enter- tainments were given each night it would restore morale of the entire div- ision, so accordingly, the association gave series-entertainments, as per re quest, for 14 nights consecutively, sent down from twenty to thirty-eight players, giving vaudeville entertain- ments, tabloids, musical comedy, etc. Expenses were heavy, as railroad fares had to be paid both ways, hotel expenses paid in San Diego over night, automobiles provided from Linda Vista to Camp Kearny and from Camp Kearny to San Diego, as well as tracks and automobiles in Los An- geles, taking baggage and people to and from trains, expenses cheerfully borne, as it was felt a most worthy cause was being aided. When the series of entertainments were over Major General Strong, all officers at the Camp and War Depart- ment officers recognized by personal letters the great help the association had been to them. The association was generally get- ting under way to do a great and rep- resentative work. It had secured au- thority from most of the Government Departments to act as an official rep- resentative of the government in all future cases where the activities of the Motion Picture Industry would be con- cerned, but the signing of the armis- tice put an end to this.

circumstances under which this pro- nounced departure was made, may not 'Bob McKenzie" be uninteresting. There were from a half dozen to a dozen motion picture companies at that time in the United THAT COMICAL SCOUNDREL States, each operating independently and each generally engaged in com- peting the Edison claim to control of t(he basic motion picture patents. A combination had just been formed under the banner of the Edison people by which all the American producers were licensed on a business basis but the Biograph people felt sincerely that their cameras and projecting machines were entirely different and did not in- fringe on the Edison Patents. They therefore declined to go into the Edi- son combination and give up a per- centage of their profits or a footage tax, whatever it was, for their license. Accordingly, they stayed out, the only independent producing company in the United States at that time. It was a more or less serious situation for the Biograph. however, because in order to make their future secure and obtain a foothold in the theatres, from which it seemed they were in a fair way of being barred out, they must bring about a radical change in the kind of pictures that were being made.

Just how to affect this Mr. Cogan was at a considerable loss to understand. Magazine writers or others of even Jim tfce smallest distinction could not be interested in such a proposition as writing stories for the lowly screen. It occurred to Mr. Cogan that per- haps newspaper men—men employed Farley on the daily press of New York City —might help him solve his problem. He spent considerable time around Heavies Park Row and found most of the newspaper men he encountered in the same frame of mind as the magazine writers and others.

He went there and Mr. Cogan intro- duced him to Mr. McCutcheon a middle-aged man of affable manner, who invited him into the studio and tried to explain what was in the minds of all the Biograph people and why Walter they didn't seem to be able to get what they were after.

To the newspaper man it was all a very great mystery as to how any Long story could be told on the screen any- how. The medium seemed an impos- sible one for jtory telling. The only motion pictures he had ever seen had merely been street scenes and the like of that usually presented as a tag at the end of a vaudeville performance.

So great was the success of the newer type of pictures that within three months the demand from thea- ters out of which the Biograph at the time was barred, became so great for their productions that an arrange- ment was effected by the Edison com- bination under which the Biograph was welcomed to the fold, and within less than a year the Biograph was the leading American company—its sales oudistancing ita nearest competitor by over one hundred per cent. Everything that has happened since then in the business is a matter of contemporaneous knowledge to prac- tically everybody in the business. It Big Ed is largely a story of business combina- tions, of making the pictures in greater length, of making them more pretentious and of bringing the fore- most actors to the screen. But the type of picture has remained in a general way about the same as that established by Mr. Griffith in his first Kennedy production. ASSISTANT DIRECTORS' ASSOCIA- TION By Harry Burns CHARACTERS The most sensible argument in fa- vor of the A. D. A. to my way of fig- uring is the fact that the organization was formed by the leading assistant directors, placed before their pros- pective members a set of rules to which they have to live up to, and KEYSTONE-SENNETT which, in substance, means nothing more nor less than "BETTER PIC- COMEDIES TURES." The first meeting was held in the form of a little dinner affair in a well- 1913-1914-1915-1916 known cafe ,and over the table the club was formed, and the officers that were elected answered to the name of Allen Watt President, Harry Schenck, first vice-president; Rex CALDWELL Hodge, second five-president; Scott Beal, secretary and treasurer; and COMEDY FOX CORPORATION Arthur Flavin Sergeant-at-arms. The dream of the assistant direct- 1917-1918 COMPANY ors was at last realized, and soon it

started to grow so rapidly that it was decided that it was now in order to rent quarters, in fact club rooms that Producing would serve as a meeting place where the men could congregate and talk Doing Heavies One-Reel matters over, where there would be a research library at their command; Rube Comedies UNCLE SAM where every second PYiday in the month they could hold their regular 1918-1919 meetings, and afterwards have a show To Be Released made up of some of the leading en- tertainers and a small sized banquet. Through It is now a reality; it's all and all a full fledged organization, and it is

growing, and it will eventually work Romayne up to the point where they will be as recognized as are the directors of Superfilm today, for they are more responsible for the production they are working on, than is the director, for they have Company every detail to look after, while the man who handles the megaphone and Bear Cat Brand shouts his bidding to the artists has only that care, when a member of the Fred Caldwell, Director assistant directors' association is his right hand bower and assists in the direction of the photoplay in the mak- ing.

732 South Flower Street Hugh Saxon That Talented Thespian Phone; Bdwy. 4485 Los Angeles, Cal. A phrenologist pawed my conk last week and said I was born of friendly parents in a bed shaped like a pretzel. That's why I play crooked as well as straight parts. The sky lamps were busy that night. They had to cram a muzzle on the Dog Star, the Little Bear danced a Grizzly, the Big Dipper did the Boston Dip and the moon "MONTY PRICE" got a new crop o' freckles; that directors ought to keep me as busy as a tambourine doing a shimmie in a spook cabinet.

With Dustin Farnum Directors: Do you need an assistant who's a good swindle-sheet manipulator? I guarantee a new rubber hoop for your gas-gig once a week LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS' and coin for yourself and squaw at the Vernon Address 2610 Juliet St. stew station, Saturday nights.
