What a coincidence" I remarked,
greatly concerned.
Yes, indeed. | know that girl WE'LL
said she you don't know how Curl
Gus ii is to see her way down here.
Only one thing is more SO, and that is
when | glance up sometimes at the
film and see MYSELF
us it difficult posing for Moving
Pictures?" 1 asked.
The mere act of posing" said Miss
Hutchins, is not so hard, but the get
ting ready is something awful. Some
times its hours before a scene can be
arranged. OF course when that is done
everything else is easy. I'VE posed for
so many pictures for the Universal
Film people and also the Miles people
that I've gotten used to it,.
AS the last scene from the beautiful
drama of the Jewish Maiden and her
pathetic love was shown our per
sonally conducted tour began again,
and this time we stopped before an
other of the ,Gilded Areades, where a
pretty girl was selling tickets for u
wonderful tragedy that the film was de-
picting.
~ ,.gain found aeats In the crowded
show place and presumably we read
breathlessly the high sounding threat of
one wicked old Baron to another cast
ia the form of letter, ending with
tNe threat of death for one Dukes son.
IF thou dost not give my goods back"
Goods" said the pretty actress, with
funny little grimace catching the
fattering effect of that word in it's
medieval setting at a flash
After that scene another note threat
ened still more dire deeds. IL the first
Baron was not given his property
back
property; well that sounds little
better than goods, doesn't it?' Miss
Hutchins asked.
[ Suddenly we were rega1ed with a
wonderful Oriental Dancer, 1.-the of
limb and slinky of body, who woos the
Baron's son to his doom.
1Oh look al herr exclaimed Miss
Hutchins. NOW she faints. Now she
revives. Heavens, she's pretending to
die! What a wonderful part How /
should like to play itr'
And indeed such a splendid actress
she is that she was fairly playing the
role of the dancer, before the Picture
was half over and many eyes in the
audience were centered upon the pretty
woman who was so deeply and intense
ly interested in the film.
1t was a novel and delightful experience,
doing the Movies with the pretty
fotdis anu fOuuu tfat the young
woman in question has very clever
theory about the picture Plays" that be-
tokens a real interest, not only in them,
but in humanity.
Miss Hutchns believes that the right
kind of Moving Picture shows al Q a
great and good influence as the theatre of
the masses, and she thinks school of
drama akin to the hold 'PantomineH had
upon the peoples hearts in days gone by
Is going to develop from ii, or can be
made to grow out of 1t.
"a sort of pantomine play, in moving
pictures-an art of it's .own-no photo
graphing. set and staged plays?" asked
Something like that, yes" answered
Miss Hutchins. Keep it simple; near
the heart; not this period playing that
tells nothing to the spectator"
Just then the despairing Baron. whose
son had been stolen, throws himself into
chair.
And the chair doesn't break" laughed
Miss Hutchins. rs it not wonderful about
stage furniture? Tt seems indestructible
asif It knew 1t dare not break. Yes, even
the stage furniture is trained
And then the film began to "wiggle"
and get dizzy and we knew the SHOW
was at an end
