Along New York's Rialto by Raymond McKee

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond McKee are leaving New York to settle in Hollywood.  Ray has a log cabin on Cherokee Avenue all furnished with animal skins and rustic things from all parts of the globe.  So there they will live until his tenants vacate from his bungalow.  It will be Mrs. McKee's first visit to the land of flowers.  She was Marguerite Courtot.  Remember?

Eva Tanguay, the cyclonic comedienne, is wearing mourning over the death of her dog.  Miss Tanguay's “Baby” croaked in Omaha while she was playing in the Orpheum Circuit.  The dog's heart has been sealed up in a jar of alcohol, and his skin is being stuffed by a taxidermist.  The lady is overwhelmed with grief.

Herbert Corthell and Walter Catlett have been engaged for important roles in “Second Youth,” which Distinctive Pictures has put in production as a feature vehicle for Alfred Lunt and Mimi Palmer.

CAMERA'S WEEKLY WAKE-EM-UP

PLANT FOR MANUFACTURING FILM-MAKING ACCESSORIES WILL BE FOUNDED HERE

That Los Angeles will not only be the production and financial center of motion pictures, but the nucleus of the manufacturing of accessories that accompany finished film products, is the firm belief of Sol Lesser and Michael Rosenberg of Principal Pictures Corporation.
According to these film executives, steps are now being taken to create in Los Angeles, a huge manufacturing plant in which will be created and made, all accessories pertaining to film productions made and released by Principal Pictures Corporation.
New York, Chicago and Cleveland have at the present time the “corner” so to speak on the accessories output for the film world.  With Principal Pictures' plans, Los Angeles will jump into the ring and take a big stride forward in this respect as well.
Few people outside the industry realize, according to Sol Lesser, the many “tools” necessary to “put over” a motion picture after it is made.  The exhibitors require lithographs, press books, special exploitation mats, cuts, and advertising matter.  Novelties in hundreds of different varieties are made up in million quantities by these eastern firms and distributed to the many film exchanges throughout the world.
According to Messers. Lesser and Rosenberg, a large tract of industrial property will be purchased, and upon this site will be erected buildings suitable for manufacture of all accessories necessary for the products of the Principal Pictures Corporation.  These will include lithographs, press books, special exploitation advertising, novelties of every description, including bookmarks, dolls, statues, tags, heralds and every conceivable piece of advertising attractive to the theatre owner wanting to exploit pictures on a big basis.

FILM FOLK'S CAR COLLIDES WITH SHEEP

A narrow escape from extreme injuries and perchance death was experienced by several important film artists this week in Prescott, Arizona, when the closed automobile in which they were riding to location ran amuck in a huge flock of sheep.
The film company is located in Prescott making Harold Bell Wright's “When a Man's a Man” for Principal Pictures Corporation.  Thos seated in the unfortunate car were Marguerte De La Motte, leading woman for the company, Mrs. Edward F. Cline, wife of the director making the picture, Mrs. A. L. Bernstein, wife of the production manager, and John Bowers, star of the company.
The occupants were hurrying to Williamson Valley, the scene of their camerawork, some thirty miles from Prescott.  The driver of the car was pointing out an interesting piece of scenery along the road and did not notice the herd of sheep crossing.  The car struck the animals while several hundred were along the roadway and the impact threw the machine from one side of the road to the other, it finally halting on one side in a shallow slope along the road.
Seven of the sheep were killed by the onrushing car and had it not been for the strong grip on the steering wheel by the driver, a complete somersault would have been inevitable.  The occupants were badly shaken and received minor bruises.  They were given first aid treatment and sent back to Prescott, while director Cline made the best of matters by filming episodes in which they do not appear.
The low valleys of this particular portion of Arizona are a grayish hue which makes it difficult to see the sheep which thrive in large numbers and it is always general warning among the residents of that country to keep your eyes on the road ahead.  (Camera Vol. 6 No. 1  pg. 9?)

ACTOR WINS HIGH HONORS IN CONTEST

Creighton Hale, debonair leading man of stage and screen, has not only firmly established himself with the theatre-going public as one of the screen's most versatile and clever leading men, but last Friday evening in the Rose Room of the Ambassador hotel when a number of prominent motion picture stars appeared in the National Dance Tournament to compete for the championship of Southern California, Mr. hale won high honors for his ability as an exponent of the art of terpsichore.
Mr. Hale made his debut in pictures several years ago, but not until last year had he been given an opportunity to work before the camera at one of the Hollywood studios.  Victor Hugo Halperin, having been seriously attracted by the actor's brilliant work as the professor in D. W. Griffith's “Way Down East,” and with his work in many other notable film plays, transported him from New York to Hollywood to play the leading role in his picture “Tea-With a Kick,” which is shortly to be shown at Grauman's Million Dollar theatre.
Upon the completion of that picture Mr. Hale was prevailed upon by the management of the Mason Opera House, Los Angeles, to present his play, “Just Suppose,” for a week's run.  This play was previously presented by him at the Columbia thetare in San Francisco where it scored a tremendous hit and it went over equal success at the Mason.
Then Mr. Hale was engaged to play the part of “Billy” in the Richard Walton Tully production of “Trilby” and according to all reports his performance is one of the highlights of the pictures.  At present he is under contract with Goldwyn where he is portraying the role of “Alick” in the current Victor Seastrom production, “The Master of Man.”

RETURNS FROM TWO MONTHS IN ARIZONA

Principal Picture Corporation's “When a Man's a Man” company returned to Los Angeles this week after having spent the best part of two months in Prescott, Arizona, making exterior episodes for the noted Harold Bell Wright story.
A special car, thick with dust and piled high with props, cameras and picture equipment, carried the players and their valuable film from the Arizona town.
Among those who stepped from the platform of the car were Marguerite De La Motte, John Bowers, Robert Frazer, June Marlowe, George Hackathorne, John Fox, Jr., Fred Stanton, Charles Mails, Forrest Robinson and a host of others equally popular including Edward F. Cline, the director, and Arthur L. Bernstein, business and production manager for Principal Pictures Corporation.
“Glad to be home?”  The members of the Wright cast looked at each other in silent approval.
“You bet,” laughed Miss De La Motte.  “We had a wonderful trip and the Prescott folk treated us royally, but there's no place like home, you know.”
The next few weeks will be spent by the company making interior episodes.  Work will be continued at Principal's Hollywood studios at once.
“When a Man's a Man,” is the first of a series of Harold Bell Wright novels to be filmed by Principal Pictures Corporation.  Others will follow in line.  There are nine volumes in the series, all of which have been purchased by the picture company.

Mae Has Birthday Party
Paul Bern gave a delightful birthday dinner this week in  honor of Mae Busch.  Among those present were Mabel Normand, Corrine Griffith, June Mathis, Julanne Johnston, Carmel Myers, Carey Wilson, Walter Morosco, Joseph Jackson, William Haines and Goodman Bradley.  Mr. Bern adapted to the screen “The Christian” and “The Master of Man,” Hall Crane novels, in both of which Miss Busch plays the leading feminine roles.

Dog is Popular Player
Buddy, the trained film canine, has just finished his work on Warner Brothers' latest picture, “The Country Boy,” directed by William Beaudine and starring Wesley Barry. According to Henry East, the dog's master, Buddy has now worked in a total of sixty-four pictures and is fast becoming the leader of canine actors.  (Camera Vol. 6 No. 1  pg. 10)

A SURPRISE IN STORE FOR FANS OF OWEN MOORE
Whoever had decided that Owen Moore was permanently committed to starring in rollicking comedies such as he made so triumphantly for Selznick, have a surprise in store for them, because when they see him in “Thundergate” in which he is now playing the leading role for First National at the United Studios, they will discover him reaching zenith of intensely dramatic artistry-just the opposite to the sort of work he did in such successes as “Reported Missing.”
An additional element of surprise will be discovered in the fact that in “Thundergate,” Mr. Moore plays three different characters or rather portrays the dramatic feelings of an unusual man in three distinctly different transitions of his career as unfolded in this story of the entrancing Orient.  Moreover, for the first time he essays the interpretations of a young Chinese character, and, according to reports emanating from those associated with him in the filming of this picture, his performance bids fair to be proclaimed one of the acting sensations of the current year.
Although those who are familiar with Owen Moore's long record for presenting screen characters of great variety do not need any proof of his versatility, those who know him only by his brilliant work as the star of the series of comedies he made during the last three years will no doubt be more surprised to see him so heavily dramatic as he is in “Thundergate.”  Especially as a derelict is his work most challenging of seriousness although his interpretations of the young Chinese in the midst of most dazzling luxury is said to be exceedingly gripping.

OLD TIME GRIFFITH FIND CAST IN “THE BAD MAN”
Teddy Sampson, another member of the old D. W. Griffith school, who has become a screen favorite, has been engaged to play an important part in “The Bad Man,” which is to be produced and directed by Edwin Carewe for First National.
Miss Sampson has been cast in the role of “Angela hardy,” a semi-comedy part which will give her an excellent opportunity to demonstrate her talent.
Miss Sampson has recently returned to the coast after an engagement with Famous Players in which she appeared with Elsie Ferguson in “The Outcast.”  She has been in films for nine years; previous to that she was in musical comedy and on the vaudeville stage.
It was while she was appearing with Gus Edwards in “School Days,” that D. W. Griffith was first attracted to Miss Sampson's talent.  He advised her to desert the “speakies” for the silver-sheet, and she agreed.
Her first screen part was in “The Broken Bottle,” which was produced by the old reliance-majestic company, later the Triangle Company.  She played leads and character parts in a number of features produced by this organization.  Later she was with Selznick and for a year she starred in a series of Christie comedies.

Hines Finishing
Johnny Hines has completed the filming of George M. Cohan's play “Little Johnny Jones,” at the Warner Brothers studios under the direction of Arthur Rosson.  The story centers around the English Derby at Epson Downs, England, with Hines as the American jockey scheduled to ride Yankee Doodle.  Molly Malone is the girl in the case, and George Webb plays the villain.

DINKEY COMPLETES FIRST PICTURE
“Gigi,” Dinky Dean's initial starring vehicle, produced by Z. A. Stegmuller at Universal City, has been completed and the negative and masterprint taken east where arrangements are being made for distribution.
For perhaps the first time in film history a four-year-old star makes his bow to the picture public in a five-reel costume production adapted from a classic penned by a famous author.
That this picture will take like wild fire is the consensus of opinion of those who have seen it.  The production is a lavish one and little Dinky is supported by a remarkable cast  consisting of such celebrities as; Virginia Pearson, John Sainpolis, Josef Swickard, Sam De Grasse, Eric Mayne, Mitchell Lewis, Ethel Wales, Frank Bond and Frank Darrow, Sr.
“Gigi,” a screen adaptation of Abbie Farwell Brown's famous “John of the Woods,” a Houghton Miflin book now in its sixteenth edition, is the story of an Italian youngster who lived in an Italian principality during the fifteenth century.
The story and appealing plot and costumes and settings are lavish and rich far beyond those of the average costume production.
The film was directed by Albert Austin, who wrote and directed “My Boy” and who also directed “Trouble.”
Chuck Reisner, famous character actor, star and director, who is Dinky's father, assisted in the filming of the youngster's first serious effort toward stardom.  Dinky first came into the public eye when he appeared with Charlie Chaplin in “The Pilgrim.”

MONEY-MAD INDIANS GIVE PEACEFUL TOWN A THRILL
Residents of Bishop, California had visions of Piute Indians last week when 35 braves, in war paint, descended on the peaceful town.
Then when they headed for the First National Bank, the fears grew to intensity.  “The Indians have turned bank robbers,” thought the citizens.
But they were all wrong.  The Indians were as peaceful as the town.  They had come there to cash their salary checks which they had received for playing parts on “The Huntress,” a First National picture starring Colleen Moore, now being taken in the Sierras, a few miles from Bishop.  (Camera Vol. 6 No. 1  pg. 11)

Peggy Fools Them
Peggy Cartwright, popular screen juvenile plays the part of a boy in the new Universal production of “A Lady of Quality,” starring Virginia Valli and so perfect is her makeup that even her most intimate friends failed to recognize her the first day she appeared on the set.  The youngster has been in pictures four years and played in support of practically every star of the silver-sheet.  She is an expert horse-girl and has won two cups at Ambassador Horse Shows and one at the Ventura Horse Show.

BABY STAR LIVES IN OLD HOME OF MANY STARS
If living in a house formerly occupied by several motion picture celebrities could be of any help to one's efforts in achieving success before the camera, then Baby MacCormac would now perhaps be the most popular star in the film world, for the house in which she resides on Lemonyne Street in Los Angeles, has been occupied by such well-known artists as Kathryn Williams, Louise Fazenda, the late Wallace Reid and others.
Judging from the parts Baby Muriel has been playing in pictures-and she has played in no less than forty successes-it is generally conceded that some producer one of these days is going to place the young star under contract for a series of pictures, and capitalize on versatility and her ability to to interpret difficult child parts.
In the list of photoplays in which Baby Muriel has appeared are “Poor Men's Wives,” “Miracles of the Jungles,” “The Call of Home,” “Penrod,” “Borderland,” “Pawn Tikcet 210,” and “A Daughter of Luxury.”  She recently completed work in Dustin Farnum's latest picture for Fox, “The Man Who Won.”  (Camera Vol. 6 No. 1  pg. 12)

WHAT DID BABY SAY?
What did Buster Keaton's baby say?
On the second anniversary of the marriage of the comedian and Natalie Talmadge, all present agreed that the baby said something.  But what?
It was the first word the baby ever said, you see.
The Talmadge-Schenck-Keaton clan had gathered in force for appropriate ceremonies for the wedding anniversary which, incidentally, was celebrated on Baby Buster's first birthday anniversary.  Baby Buster, on June 2nd, was just one year old.
During his birthday party the baby said something.  Natalie self-sacrificingly decided the word was “papa.”
Buster heroically said it was “mama.”  Constance Talmadge said she heard it “mapa.”  Norma Talmadge said she thought it was “pama.”  Joseph Schenck said it sounded like “Camera.”  But Mrs. Talamagde, booed by all present, said it was only “goo."  (Camera Vol. 6 No. 1  pg. 16)

Who’sWho and What’s What in Filmland This Week

Rene Plaisetty, well known director who is credited with discovering Leatrice Joy and others of fame, has been signed to supervise the new “Alex the Great” series of two-reel comedies which will soon go into production at the Power studios.

Henry Lehrman has succeeded Mal St. Clair as director of the second series of H. C. Witwer's “Fighting Blood” stories.  He began work this week on the second of the series called “She Supes to Conquer.”

Albert Cooke, chief comic of the “Fighting Blood” company filming the popular H. C. Witwer stories at the Power studios fell heavily the other day while fleeing from man-eating lions in an ancient Roman sequence and sustained a severe cut on the elbow and a sprained knee.  After being patched up by the studio physician, however, he was able to continue his work of registering laughs.

Harold Goodwin has been signed by Robertson-Cole to appear in forthcoming F. B. O. productions.

Grace Darmond is playing the leading feminine role in “Alimony,” an F. B. O. production under the direction of James W. Horne.

Bela Lugosi has just completed his contract with Fox having played the heavy lead in “The Silent Command” which was directed by J. Gordon Edwards.

Elizabeth Rhoades, a charter member of the Reliable Photoplayers Association, has completed her contract with Principal Picture Corporation and is now considering two very fine offers for work in forthcoming pictures.  She has one of the principal roles in “A Man's a Man,” which was directed by Eddie Cline.   
   
Emory Johnson has begun work on his next F. B. O. attraction "The Mailman."  Ralph Lewis is to play the leading role in the production with an all-star cast in support.
   
Mickey McBan, filmland's young swimming champion, who has been training for the series of aquatic exhibitions to be held in Los Angeles in the immediate future, has mastered the intricacies of under-water swimming, and can now go from 50 to 75 feet under the surface.  His goal is 125 feet, and he ought to be able to negotiate this after two weeks more practice.  At the present he is with the Henry Otto unit at the Fox studios which are filming “The Temple of Venus.”  He plays one of the big parts in this production.

Ben Lyon who is playing one of the leading male roles in Sam Goldwyn's screen version of "Potash and Perlmutter" has returned from Atlantic City where they have been filming some of the exteriors.

"Her Royal Highness."  How would that sound on a motion picture lot?  If the titles of some of our local film folk who have come from aristocratic families of Europe were used in Hollywood some directors, with a number of these celebrities in the cast,  would spend all their time addressing them.  Take for instance, Thais Valdemar, who recently finished a very interesting part in "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" at the Lasky studios.  She is a 14-karat Russian princess, and during the reign of the late Czar Nicholas and his father her family was exceedingly powerful in the royal court.  The revolution reversed the order of things in Russia and she was forced to flee for her life.  Her mother, father and husband were slain. and she only escaped to this country after numerous hardships and hairbreadth adventures.  Now she is one of our most promising screen players and she has doffed her lengthy royal title for her present cute name.  Her other pictures include "The Brass Bottle" and "Trilby."
