The Loves Of Charlie Chaplin

T IS a long road from little Hettie Kelly of the London tramcars, to Pola Negri, idol of two continents. I Yet that is the lover’s lane Charlie Chaplin has trod in a few brief years and it is strewn thick with every kind of romance. No man in modern history has loved and been loved by so many beautiful, brilliant and famous women. Paradoxically enough, the great comedian of the screen must be recorded as the Great Lover of the 20th Century. Don’t let anybody delude you with the idea that Charlie’s amours have been trifles, chimeras of the press agents, unfounded gossip, mere casual friendships. Be that as it may, the romances of Charlie Chaplin weave a story that need not be embroidered. The facts themselves flame scarlet and gold, alive with ardor and poetry and infinite variety. And each one of them has been a serious matter in Charlie’s young life. Chronologically, the heroines of these thrilling love-chapters read something like this: Edna Purviance. Mildred Harris. Mae Collins. Claire W indsor. Clare Sheridan. Anna Q. Nilsson. Lila Lee. Peggy Hopkins Joyce. Pola Negri. Among this amazing list, Charlie has perhaps always been hunting for the ideal wife he described to me. “I have always wanted very much to be married, to have a home and children. I have wanted that more than anything else in the world. I gave up my ideals when I was twenty- one, but I am searching now for a practical ideal. An ideal that will work. “I have no particular type of woman. I don’t know anything about women. I am terribly interested in them. I like to know how they think and why they do things. The things I really require for a wife are fundamentals. Most of all, sympathy. Tolerance.

When I am working, I with- draw absolutely from those I love. I have no energy, no love to give them. ‘'I want a woman who knows that a moment’s tender silence, a cushion for your head, a stool for your feet, mean more than trans- ports of physical emotion. I want a wife but I want that sense of absolute freedom one must have to create. I want soul, in my wife. I want her to trust me enough to know I wouldn’t abuse freedom, but that I must have it. or die. I want a wife who is restful, but who knows that an artist loves more passionately, more deeply, with more seeking for life and truth and beauty than any man in the world—and who can respond to that.” And here is the true story of Charlie’s search for his ideal, and the world-famous beauties, and vamps, and intellectuals with whom he tried and sometimes thought lie had succeeded, in finding it. coxtixued on [ page 124 J

DITOR’S NOTE.—Photoplay presents herewith the tnost fascinat- Eing autobiography of a stage or screen celebrity ever published. Never has a personality sprung into wo/ldwide fame with such amazing rapidity. Almost overnight the unknown Italian youth, former professional dancer and player of inconspicuous parts, became the idol of the picture world, a familiar personality in every hamlet. Even blase New Yorkers stormed the Rivoli Theater on Broadway to pay tribute. In presenting this splendid feature. Photoplay wishes to con-

He has few illusions about himself. Next month’s chapter is even more interesting.

I was no George Washington, nor was my father at all like George Washington’s lenient sire. He administered a brilliant beating, yet not without heart interest. For when I looked up through my tears after the whip had retired from action I saw the tears in his eyes. He led me by the hand into the house and there impressed me with a little talk which was far more effective than the whip. After this scene of Latin emotionalism I never used the gun again. He showed me that I was not behaving like my ancestors, but more like the brigands who drove my forbears out of Martini Franco. I did not court another encounter with my father for several months. He was a quiet, studious man, devoting all his time to his work, that of a veterinary doctor. There had been four children in the house, Beatrice, Alberto, Rodolpho and Maria. But Beatrice, the eldest, died when I was very young. Alberto, the next in age, was two as the queen “At Perugia, famous of years my senior and far too impor- Collegia Italian hill towns.

My ancestor killed the Colonna and was forced to flee from Rome. It was in those days when Rome was divided into hundreds of little factions, each man belonging to a particular group of comrade spirits. The men who supported my ancestor in his quarrel with the Colonna fled into exile with him. Dressed in shabby clothes they traveled into the poor south of Italy, passing as one of the bands of shep- herds which then roved the country.

Another romantic story, somewhat How I adored her' more authentic since it dates from about 1850, when Ferdinand di Bour- bon ruled over Naples and Sicily, relates of the brigand attack upon the little town of Martini Franco and of the massacre which ensued. Again my ancestors took flight. This time they settled in Castellaneta, their only property the tattered clothes they wore. No doubt these stories led me into my first adventure and undoing. It is the lime tree sequence of my scenario, and it has the just retribution that comes to all cinema sinners. I owned a gun which shot deadly wax bullets. One morning after a hot dispute I turned the dastardly weapon upon my sister Maria, who was by no means a helpless young woman. She gave valiant battle, and when my supply of ammunition gave out I took flight to the neighbor’s property. There I hastily climbed a lime tree and commenced utilizing the unripe fruit against the enemy, who was beleaguering me with stones and sticks. I fired a couple of rounds—and then one of them hit my father’s study window. Father was farmhouse, square, flat-roofed, built of heavy white stone, its thick walls broken by casement windows with heavy blinds that are closed and barred at night. On the main floor was the great living room, the dining room, kitchen and my father’s study. Attached to the house and formed about a courtyard in the rear were the servants’ quarters and the stables. My mother held my father’s study to be a sacred place where none should intrude, hence it offered a terrible fascination for Maria and me, with its books and microscope and curious instruments. It also had a pipe—a long-stemmed, fiendish pipe. As a flash-back to this episode I must present myself and Maria in the classic smoking scene behind the barn. I had learned the secret charm of corn silk and had generously introduced it to Maria. Occasionally when I had saved five centimes—that’s one soldo—I’d buy Virginia cigarettes. Maria did not give me any more credit for smoking these grown-up cigarettes than she did for my enterprise with the corn-silk articles. So the pipe became my natural objec- tive. One afternoon when father was out, we entered the study and found the pipe at rest on the table. I made an instant and feverish attack upon it. Fully conscious of Maria’s awestricken attention, I settled back and drew great puffs as nonchalantly as possible. To heighten the dramatic effect and to impress Maria still further with my daring, I placed my sire’s sacred spectacles astride my nose. Maria at last was reduced to slavish admiration as I lolled back in the great chair, gazing owlishly at her while I blew forth great, astonishing clouds. It was not long, of course, until I felt my confidence weakening and my complexion going. Certain that a disaster impended I placed the pipe back on the table. Almost simultaneously the huge, black eyes of my father filled the doorway. I nodded pleasantly at

him, though to smile was difficult. He had his physician’s eve upon my face and I knew it was telling an awful story. “I don't feel very well, papa,” I said. ‘‘I think I ate too much fruit this morning.” But the confounded smoke kept spiraling out of the pipe on the table, and father’s cane seemed to shout its intentions from the corner. From a hero in the sublime spectacle I had staged for Maria a moment previous I soon became the wretched principal in the most ridiculous and painful of scenes. That woman Maria! How I adored her, and what that adoration cost me. She never would tag Alberto, but was always waiting for me to show off—and you know what that does to a man, no matter what his age or the woman’s. But, after all, she was only my sister. It was not until I had attained the maturity of six years that a woman entered my life. I shall never forget her. She had the romantic name of Teodolinda. And she had long, black hair which she did not braid but wore loose with just a little beautiful knot in back—raven color on a pale ivory skin—her small face set with eyes that were big black diamonds. I was six, she was nine—I always picked them older. Always she was with her sister, who was as ugly as Teodolinda was lovely. This sister had something the matter with one leg, which made her limp and added to the evil appearance that she had in my eyes. One night, feeling like Leander, I decided the time had come to pro-

claim my love. Heretofore I had been content to stare at Teodolind i from a distance. I took a position near her house and was soon rewarded by seeing her coming toward me. I started forward, weakly babbling 33 a

Life again was in rainbow colors, promising adventure and pots of gold. My favorite work of literature at the time was “The Adven- ture of India.” Even the author of that book could not invent romances as fine as those of my imagination. I grew quiet and dreamy on the outside, but I was seething with adventure within. I was desperado, knight, explorer, rescuer of hundreds of fair and persecuted ladies. No one could ever have dreamed of the heroic wonders I performed within the secret confines of my soul. So occupied was I with these splendid visions that I had little time for study. Indeed, I was an open candidate for the dunce’s cap. My punishment came one memorable day when the king was scheduled to visit the town. The announcement brought me out of my visions with a snap, for a king’s a king. And all Italians have a deep and real love for Vittorio Emanuele, as fine a king as ever was dreamed into romances, a little father of his people who with the lovely, kind queen Elena is always first to rush to the aid of his subjects when they suffer distress.

A^ARY PICKFORD is probably the richest of all screen workers, with Cecil de Mille, Charlie Chaplin, Norma Talmadge, Mary Miles Minter, Anita Stewart and Harold Lloyd close behind in spectacular savings. David Wark Griffith’s savings consist of a 14- acre lemon ranch, a velour hat, three suits of clothes and a watch. Lillian Gish owns a tiny restaurant in San Pedro, Cal. William Russell owns Hepner’s beauty parlor in Los Angeles.

Mary Miles Minter is the owner of a laundry in Hollywood. Norma Talmadge owns half of “The Music Box Revue” in New York.

What have the film favorites done with their lofty salaries? The popular theory is doubtless that most of it has been wasted in what comes under the censorious term of “ riotous living,” whatever that is. All of which is just as true as the general theory that Hollywood is the Gomor- rah of our age. Filmdom has its spenders, but, curious as it may seem, they seem in far smaller proportion than in any other walk of life. The film folk most certainly are NOT the luxurious spendthrifts they are supposed to be! Lillian and Dorothy Gish, for instance, have never had but two cars in all their screen careers. Mary Pickford shops as carefully as the most salary-bound clerk’s wife. 37 filmdom goes to Mary Pickford, with Cecil de Mille, Charlie Chaplin, Nor- ma Talmadge, Mary Miles Minter, Anita Stewart and Harold Lloyd as lively runners-up. And Mack Sen- nett and Thomas Ince may almost be listed here, although Wall Street got to Sennett a few years ago. Here, naturally, we are not considering the magnates. Adolph Zukor, Jesse Las- ky, Joseph Schenck, Marcus Loew, Carl Laemmle and William Fox have superlative fortunes. Such plungers as Samuel Goldwyn and Lewis J. Selz- nick have made and lost fortunes. Here, however, we are considering the workers of screendom. Mary Pickford’s personal fortune is conservatively estimated at $1,500,000 in Liberty and United States bonds. We suspect the sum is much larger. Miss Pickford naturally has a large amount of working cash tied up in her current productions. Doug Fairbanks’ savings are far slenderer, largely because he dumps his earnings back into his next picture. The Fairbankses own their Beverly Hills estate, valued at $350,- 000.

I will appear in them.” So Porter packed a camera and went to Washington, along with Dockstader, Harry Ellis, a singer in the Dockstader act, and Jean Plavez, Dockstader’s press representative and author of many of his lines. It is interesting to note parenthetically that Mr. Flavez is now a member of the battery of “gag men” who contribute funny ideas to Harold Lloyd comedies. When the party arrived at the Hotel Raleigh in Washington Dockstader unfolded his plan, deliciously naive. “You know Roosevelt and I are good friends,” he explained to Porter. “ Now I want to make a scene in front of the White House. It shows me where I have fallen from my balloon right in front of the steps. Roosevelt comes out and picks me up and dusts me off and sets me on my feet and we walk off together.” “Wait, wait a minute—say that again!” Porter was pro- testing. “You may know Roosevelt and he may know you, Florence Turner, one the earliest favorites, of offilm but the President of the United States isn’t doing that kind who ivas Vilagraph's wardrobe leading woman and of thing just now.” mistress at $18 a week “Leave it to me—I can get him to do it,” Dockstader insisted.

OU all know Royalla Draven—Draven, we dramatic critics called her, for she was great. You have, if you were in New York Yin her triumphant time, seen her name spangled nightly into the radiance of Broadway. The incredible, flashing beauty of her, the arrogant symmetry of her carriage, the throbbing tender- ness of her tones when she would, the wild sweep of her abandon when she stormed for the heights you remember them all if you ever saw her, and you must have. For Draven was Draven. Put her behind the footlights and you had Art, Passion, Fire and Life in capital letters. She told David Wistard of the Star how she did it. It was in Draven’s dressing room after the fall of a third act curtain and the roar, roar, roar of a New York audience beat in among silken hangings.

Broadway. We dramatic critics quit spattering adjectives and rose to plain writing, unadorned. The Gazette raised Barker’s salary twenty dollars a week for the column he wrote after he saw Draven’s premiere. For five hundred nights the name of Royalla Draven flickered in crimson incandescence over the marquee of Herman Kahn’s theater. I needn’t tell you what that means on Broadway. For five hundred days and nights Royalla Draven lived, breathed and dwelt in the part of Anna Glynn, a haggard, slipping wreck, flotsam drifting on the tide of life. Wyndham Dane, then unknown, wrote “White Ashes” and he is one of the best- known playwrights in America today. His hair is quite gray and his royalties run over $50,000 a year. It is theatrical history that after the 500th night of “White Ashes” the name of Royalla Draven disappeared from the lights of Broad- way. It was to have flared out the following night in Wyndham Dane’s second play, but Draven’s understudy took the part—and sprang to stardom in four acts and eleven curtain calls. “Plow does Draven take it?” Barker asked Wistard that night. Wistard was looking like a ghost. You see he had known Royalla Draven for a long time. “ Royalla Draven,” said Wistard, “is one of God’s best sportswomen. Tell Shupe if he tries to make a joke out of it, I’ll kill him.”

There was about her the radiant softness of the woman in love. Wistard came in then, eager and keen in his happiness. “Roberts is hearing about the new play, David. How Anna Glynn will be the part of my life.” “I think so,” he said, “I hope so, Royalla.” “I’ve played parts that have called for everything I know hope, laughter, tears, anger, love. But I’ve never played failure before, and Anna Glynn is a failure, broken-down and knowing it. It’s a bitter, hopeless role.” “But in it you will be great. The success of your life.” “Yes,” she echoed Wistard’s words as though they had been a command, “in it I will be great. The success of my life. And after that—what? After I have ceased to be Anna Glynn?” “Ask Wyndham Dane,” said Wistard, a little jealously, I thought. “He writes your plays.” Then they both laughed as lovers laugh, merely over being together.

O two months later Royalla Draven burst on the town as S Anna Glynn in “White Ashes.” If, in all the five hundred nights of her triumph, you did not see Draven as Anna Glynn, which is incredible, let me picture her to you. There was not much action in the play. It was rather a terrific probing into the verities of life by a hand that was the hand of a master. “White Ashes” was knowledgeful, sure and stark with

reality. It was all Anna Glynn. - Character portrayal is, after all, what makes a play perennial on Broadway, and Royalla Draven lived Anna Glynn, the once splendid beauty fallen on the husks of the town. You could see in her every motion, in every line of her in repose the fierce, hopeless longing to get back, get back to the heights that had once been hers. The play opened on a street corner; it closed in a greasy tenement set; between was an abyss of despair. exclaimed David. “For your Draven in rags, beaten down by the tide of life, almost sodden, ringing, then came a pitiful wholly pitiful, did more than lift her audiences from their chairs. my car?

Fortunately, no one was about when the Hottentot deposited. Sam conveniently near the Gilford buck door. Afterwards they told him he had jumped the wall with the spikes on it as easily as if he had been sitting in a rocking chair

Sam found himself, suddenly, in love. Of course, he had been in love before; but Peggy —Peggy was different. Little and feminine; and her smile—Sam hadn’t known there was a girl like that in the world. If only she wouldn’t talk about horses. She seemed to think he wanted to talk about them. It was painfully plain that she considered him not as Sam Har- rington, but as Sam IJarrington, on a horse. As Sam Harrington, the steeplechase rider. She had, she averred, seen his picture in the papers many, many times. Whereat Sam blanched, only to remember that he hadn’t recognized his real likeness in the roto- gravures on the one occasion he had attained publicity as the owner of the new yacht Intrepid. It was all so easy. He told himself that it would be a shame to disillusion the girl. She didn’t want the truth. She was far, far happier believing him to be what he obviously wasn’t. He let it go on. The reckoning came rather sooner than he had expected. Major Reggie Townsend had a horse. It was the horse of horses. Its name was Hottentot. It was in the Gilford stables. And Major Townsend was certain that nothing would please Sam Harrington more than to ride him. Mrs. Chadwick only smiled. Peggy applauded, already somewhat possessive. Somehow Sam was mounted on the Hottentot. That was all he remembered. Afterwards they told him he had jumped the wall with the spikes on it —the high garden wall, as easily as if he had been sitting in a rocking chair. Fortunately no one was about when the Hottentot, his joyous ride over, deposited him conveniently near the Gilford back door. No one except Swift, the butler. And Swift was sympathetic. He saw how things were. He loved mysteries; devoured secrets. His own brother, named, oddly enough. Sam, had been killed while riding the course on the Gilford place. Swift applied liniment and bandages and offered this information soothingly. Mrs. Chadwick was profusely apologetic. Sam waved her aside. “See what you got me into?” “But Sam, you don’t have to ride again. They believe now that you really can ride. And you won’t have to ride with Peggy, because Larry Crawford is always around.” Major Townsend, owner of the Hottentot, brought in the last blow; hurled it suavely and smilingly. “Harring- ton, the Hottentot is going in the race tomorrow. And you’re going to ride him.” Townsend beamed. The Gilfords beamed. Peggy Fair- fax looked troubled. “Mr. Harrington,” she said, “I —I wish you wouldn't ride the Hottentot.

Along the Footlight Trail

1DLAYERS of the A stage and screen are continually alter- nating between the footlights and the silversheet. Herewith, however, Photoplay presents five players who achieved their measure of success on the screen, but returned, apparently definitely, to the speaking—and dancing—theater.

TUST above is Ethel o’ the House ^ of Barrymore. The Barrymores Ethel, John and Lionel—stand at the very forefront of our histrionic world. This season Ethel has been contribut- ing one of the best performances of the stage year in Gerhart Haupt- mann’s peasant girl tragedy, “Rose Bernd.” Miss Barrymore has never done more notable work. At the right is piquant little Ann Pennington, the musical comedy favorite. Ann tried the films, but her vest- pocket type of seductive cuteness never quite seemed the same away from the footlights.

Abbe ^IVIENNE SEGAL * isn’t so well known to the films as she is to that mecca of the tired business man, the musical comedy. Miss Segal has verve and unusual charm. She is dem- onstrating both qualities in the pleasant musical entertainment, “The Yankee Princess.” Just below is Florence Reed, always admired in the films, as the half caste Chinese heroine of Somerset Maugham’s melodrama, “East of Suez.” The role is tearful and emotional enough to satisfy Miss Reed’s most enthusiastic admirers from filmdom.

The National Guide to Motion Pictures PHOTOPLAY’S SELECTION OF THE SIX BEST PICTURES OF THE MONTH

PEG O’ MY HEART THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER MINNIE THE HOTTENTOT DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS

The Hottentot Ince-First National

SEVEN reel comedy that seems short! This screening A of William Collier’s stage play is somewhat reminiscent of the achievements in satire of the old Douglas Fairbanks- Anita Loos combination. It is broader, without the subtler shadings attained by Miss Loos of the Fine Arts days, but it is productive of just as many legitimate laughs. About horses—or, more accurately, one horse in particular; but you don’t have to know horses to like it. The story, told in fiction form in this issue of Photoplay, affords McLean his most graceful opportunities for farce since “Twenty- Three and a Half Hours’ Leave”; offers the lovely Madge Bellamy and the clever Raymond Hatton; and is, on the whole, a swift, sure, gay little adventure, that you can’t help enjoying. And you can take the whole family.

Peg o’ My Heart—Metro

ERE is a photoplay almost anyone will like. The Hcelluloid “Peg” has all that the stage “Peg” had, even to the Irish brogue, (thanks to the excellent titling), and it has Laurette Taylor, the creator of this beloved character. Moreover, Miss Taylor acts with a very good sense of screen values—and photographs excellently. “Peg,” of course, is just another variation of the eternal Cinderella theme. Peg goes to the English manor of the Chichesters rather an ugly duckling but she blossoms forth in a way that wins over her snobbish relatives and captures the heart of the English lord who lives close by. The screen “Peg” goes back into the girl’s past to show her a restless wanderer with her beloved father—an Irish gypsy in truth. And it extends on to show Peg being received by the king. Possibly this addendum isn’t necessary, but, on the whole, the in Ships Down to Sea —Elmer Clifton Director King Vidor and his scenarist, Mary O’Hara, have ERE is a story with an idea.

XT THEN Minnie, the village ugly duckling, invents a W fictitious lover to hide her lonely heart, she little thinks of what the fabrication will develop. Finally, when the villagers grow skeptical, she is forced to “identify” a mutilated body at the morgue as that of the romantic gentleman. Poor Minnie is at her wit’s end when a homely little reporter arrives to demand her story, having discovered that the body is that of a well known murderer. Minnie confesses—and the reporter understands. Isn’t he homely and lonely, too? If Marshall Neilan had quit there he wr ould have had a little gem. But he went on to show how plastic surgery made ’em both beautiful. Mickey can’t help spoofing his story. Still, it will entertain you and you will love Matt Moore as the freckled and unkempt reporter.

The Beautiful and Damned Warner Brothers

HE man who can paint a picture of the youth of a nation Tis the real historian of his age. If this is true, then F. Scott Fitzgerald is the historian of the modes and manners of our day, for certainly he sees life through the eyes of youth. In all his work thus far, Fitzgerald has shown a splendid disregard for tradition. He has set down events and their reactions upon him as he actually felt them. Fitzgerald has written of that stratum of life usually referred to as “our younger set.” If he depicts life as a scries of petting parties, cocktails, mad dancing and licker-on-the- hip, it is because he sees our youthful generation in these terms. Far be it from us to say that this is a general picture of American youth. At least it is our youthful Fascisti, possessing its measure of money and knowledge, fighting Quincy Metro against the swung of the pendulum which has brought to Adams Sawyer— us the “you-must-not era.” XT TE have had a dozen or so rural melodramas since Fitzgerald’s young people have the glamour of swift W D.

LIST of the twelve greatest figures in the motion CA picture industry of today has just been compiled by the Motion Picture News, one of the leading trade journals devoted to films. Many of these were selected by an overwhelming majority of the ballots cast by producers, distributors, exhibitors and stars. The competition on a few of them was quite close. The selections were made, not from the standpoint of popidarity, but in an effort to decide on the people who have had the greatest influence and have done the most work toward the improvement the screen. Thomas A. Edison David Wark Griffith effective of Mary Pickford is the only woman in the list.

DAVID WARK GRIFFITH, Director-producer. Because he was the first director to take the screen seriously, creating the greatest number of useful innovations in production. SAMUEL L. ROTHAFEL, Exhibitor. Because he was the first to work at a vision of the great entertainment possibilities of the world’s best music with pictures.

ADOLPH ZUKOR, President of Paramount Pictures. Because his organization, due largely to his business genius and insight, has assisted in the financial stabilization of pictures. GEORGE EASTMAN, President Eastman Kodak Company. Samvel L. Rothafel William A. Johnston Because of his dependable production of the fundamental physical supplies; and his Eastman Theater at Rochester, N. Y. MARY PICKFORD, Actress-producer. Because she was the first big box office attraction and because she has made a sincere effort to keep faith with her public. CHARLES CHAPLIN, Actor, director, producer.

Because, judged by all the scientific standards of genius, he is the one genius the motion picture has directly produced. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, Actor-producer. Because he abandoned an established type of product and gambled in bigger things, through a desire to make better pictures. THOMAS ALVA EDISON, Inventor. Adolph Zukor Because he evolved the one workable method of making motion pictures, thus making the films possible as a business. WILLIAM A. JOHNSTON, Editor “Motion Picture News.” Because he created and developed a high type of trade journal, and has endeavored to maintain it honestly and fearlessly. WILL H. HAYS, Director-general of the film industry. Because he has focussed public attention on pictures; because he led the victory in the Massachusetts censorship battle.

J. D. WILLIAMS, Executive. Because he organized First National, which brought the exhibitor in closer touch with the producer, and encouraged independents. CECIL B. deMILLE, Director. Because he is one of the best optical reporters of our time, com-

before any one else did. With her lovely auburn hair and deep blue eyes Hope was nice to look at. You may not think her a great actress; you may even avoid her pictures—but you must admit she’s a good looking gal.

T'N W. GRIFFITH has begun his new l—'* picture, a southern story called “The White Rose.” Carol Dempster and Mae Marsh share feminine honors, although which one of them is to have the title role has not been divulged. Ivor Novello, an actor and composer well known in England and Europe, has been imported to play the leading man’s role. Not so long ago Mr. Griffith was talking about the way his players had of leaving his company after he had introduced them to fame. He named Mary Pickford, the Gish girls, Richard Barth- elmess, Mae Marsh and many others as instances. He helped make them famous—and then they left the old homestead to seek their fortunes!

T/ie Plrt of Powdering By Mme. Jeannette

As a rule women give too little thought to the way they use powder. Perhaps one reason is that for so many years powder has been a necessary part of the toilette among practically all classes of women.

Powdering correctly is so simple if you will just use a little thought.

Be sure to select a shade of face powder that will tone in with your own coloring. Many a lovely face has been very nearly spoiled by flesh-colored powder on an olive skin, or the rachel shade used by a delicately tinted blonde.

Powder should be placed first upon the portions of the face that are normally whitest—brow, chin, and nose then a delicate coating brushed over the whole face. And above all be sure that

I invented my hair'color restorer to brin& back the original color to my own hair, which was prematurely gray. Though this was many years ago and I am no longer young, my abundant hair is still beautiful as a girl’s. A Statement by Mary T. Goldman

I ask every person afflicted with gray hair to let me tell them my story for their own benefit. For I know from experience what it means to the young and vigorous to discover the first gray hair and to realize that it will brand them as “getting old.”

Gray hair is as much of an affliction to those who are not so young, for the older you grow the older gray hair makes you look. No—gray hair is an affliction at any age, but one that need not be endured. For I offer you a scientific restorer which will bring back the original beautiful color, with perfect results always assured. Best of all, my restorer actually benefits the hair.

What a blessing I would have felt it, in my young days, if such a preparation had been in existence when I found my hair turning gray. Then there were only crude dyes, unsatis- factory and unsafe, and these I would not use.

Circumstances forced me to invent a perfect and safe restorer which is now at every gray-haired person’s command. Millions have used and are using it—it is the biggest selling, most popular preparation of its kind in the world. Over 10,000,000 bottles sold. I offer a free trial bottle with complete directions for making the convincing “single lock” test. This test proves how easily and perfectly this time-tested preparation will restore the original color - to your hair. derful preparatory powder * which thoroughly cleanses the scalp and the hair, dissolves dandruff and acts as an antiseptic.

Naturally, she was thrilled when the invitation came; and even more thrilled when she discovered in a roundabout way that Howard was coming back from school for the week- end to attend the same party.

YXTALTER HIERS has been made a star. Paramount, which has included him in many casts, has given him individual attention, and his first stellar feature will shortly be seen, with Jacqueline Logan as the leading woman. The company is thought to have selected Hiers as a probable successor to Arbuckle whose screen career will probably not be resumed for a long time. The only difference between Arbuckle and Hiers is that Arbuckle is a comedian, while Hiers is an actor who weighs 250 pounds.

HE Fairbankses, Doug and Mary, have Tissued invitations to a party which will last eight months—a record even for Hollywood and which will consist of a trip around the world. Fifty guests have been invited. Among them are Charles Chaplin and Pola Negri, who have been invited to take their honeymoon trip on the Pickfair boat. According to present plans (subject to change without notice), the party will set sail in the spring on an especially chartered Japanese steamer now being refitted. Mr. and Mrs. William McAdoo are among the prominent guests. This is the most interesting excursion to be made since Henry Ford’s yacht- ing party to Germany to bring about world peace. If it isn’t a press yarn and if the plans go through it would appear that there would be a good many stellar deserters from the screen during the next eight months, and Mary and Doug even threaten to go into permanent retirement in a villa on the Italian riviera.

much in the showing of pictures as making 1 them. He purchased a print of “The Great Train Robbery” and added it to his attrac- tions. Thomas Persons, who was operating the Selig black tent picture show with Harry Wright’s Carnival Company, showed the picture with such astonishing success that he sent posthaste pleas to Selig to make some ” “story pictures like the ‘Train Robbery’. Colonel Selig’s response was in the making of an amazing one reel “story picture” entitled “-Trapped by Bloodhounds; or, A Lynch- ing at Cripple Creek.” It is regrettable that the cast of this first Selig dramatic effort is unknown. The Selig establishment was still at this date at 43 Peck Court, a little alley in downtown Chicago. At the saloon on the corner the cast was picked up and hired for a Sunday’s picture work in the wild suburban district of Roger’s Park. The wages consisted of lunch and one barrel of beer. Viewed as a drama, “Trapped by Blood- hounds; or, A Lynching in Cripple Creek” lacked something of the finish of later screen work from the Selig studios. The opening scene depicted the murder of a lone woman, neatly choked to death by a marauding tramp. Thereafter the picture, for some hundreds of feet, consisted of a pursuit by men and dogs, hounds.

those who stood and waited on Broadway. The very phrase “friends in the country” began to be a piece of patois meaning the picture makers in the gypsy language of the players. One of Dawley’s early contributions to the screen was an animal drama entitled “The Nine Lives of a Cat,” in which the studio cat held the title role. In the midst of making the picture the star walked out and died. Dawley as the casting director searched the alleys of New York for two days to capture a cat to double the part. The growing prosperity of the picture trade led to the establishment of the Edison studio in the Bronx, where it stands today, accumu- lating cobwebs and the dust of silence, stages piled high with the props and accouterments of the forgotten dramas which brought to •fame the names of the old Edison stock company, Mary Fuller, Mabel Trunnelle, Herbert Prior, Charles Ogle and the rest. The Bronx location, adjacent to Bronx Park, was chosen by Porter, for reasons sig- nificant enough in their day and themselves a measure of the status of the industry then. The site in Decatur street was just a five minute walk from the end of the Third Avenue elevated line. It was far enough from Broad- way that abashed actors need not fear they would be discovered in the artistic felony of working in pictures. It was close to the outdoor locations of the park.

Dept. 8-A, Resinol, Baltimore, Md. organized than some of the other concerns of the time, Vitagraph had a method of holding its pkiyers by giving them jobs, “ doubling in brass.” Miss Turner drew eighteen dollars a week as the mistress of the wardrobe. That was a minimum guarantee, in effect. If she acted in pictures, then she received a total of five dollars a day, and might, when production conditions were especially fortunate, earn a total of thirty dollars a week, just like Sorrelle over at Edison’s. It was accepted practice then to impress the actors into service as carpenters, scene painters and the like. But when Maurice Costello went over to Vitagraph from Edison a precedent was established.

It was known as Kalem, taking its name some what after the same synthesis as Essanay, from K-L-M, representing George Kleine, the Chicago film exchange man and importer of things optical, Samuel Long, who owned four hundred dollars’ worth of partitions in a loft building, and Frank Marion, who had a college education with a degree of Syracuse University, some experience with Biograph and capital in the sum of six hundred dollars. Kleine’s credit, Long’s partitions and Marion s six hundred started Kalem. Kleine guaranteed the account of the company for the purchase of a Warwick camera from Charles Urban in London and Kalem started to work, first producing a comedy at Sound Beach, Conn. Starting under these auspices, Kalem was not a large consumer of scenarios that day when D. W. Griffith appeared with his manuscript of “La Tosca.” But Marion talked with the actor-author and suggested that down at n East 14th street Biograph was working a considerable company and using many stories. Over there Griffith met Wallace McCut- cheon, Sr., the director in charge. The scenarios would be considered^ and also there was a possibility that Mr. Griffith might work in some of the pictures. He was tried out in a bit and seemed to do rather well. Soon Griffith was working rather frequently in Biograph’s pictures, and Arthur Marvin, a cameraman, observed that this rather quiet young actor seemed to have ideas that set him just a shade apart from the miscellaneous dramatic flotsam of the studio’s shifting casts.

ATHER close to this time another young Rman with a handful of destiny took a ride up the Third Avenue “L” to the Edison studio in the Bronx. He was known, but very slightly known, as Mack Sennett, a bit of a chorus man, spear bearer, and light comedian with a pleasant voice and]a naturally whimsical manner. He got a part in one of those early and forgotten Edison dramas, played a few days and came downtown again and also went in the imposing door of the brownstone FlorenceVValton, mansion at 11 East 14th street. He, too, joined Biograph. But while the screen was thus gathering thefamous dancer, says authors, players and directors in preparation for the great days to come, the commercial path of the industry was torn with dissen- sions, litigations and wars as remarkable in °L their own dramatic way as any story the camera has ever recorded.
