Julia Murdock Tells of Mrs. Fiske's
First Appearance As Movies" Actress
Woman Star Takes Pride in Her
Production Of Tess" for
New Film Company.

TT ARKING to the call Of the North
~ land. Mrs. Minnie Maddern
Fiske leaves on Monday for
Big Moose, Canada. where she
will trough IT." during the summer. es-
tablishtng her own camp and forget
ting all about the existence Of the the
ater. She will not even be Obliged to
study. because she will take The High
Road with which she has met such
phenomenal success, out again next
season. Accompanying her is her cou-
sin. Emily Stevens, who will spend the
entire vacation period with Mrs. Fiske
In the woods. Later on. Harrison Grey
Ffske will join his wife for a stav in
the north woods.
BEFORE she closed her season in The
High Road" It was definitely decided
tnat Mrs. Fiske's greatest success,
Tess Of the D'Urbervilles," would be
reproduced within a short time in the
MIN drama. The motion picture rights
OF the novel were recently secured by
Daniel Frohman from Thomas Hardy,
the author, and his publishers, Harper
Brothers.
Mrs. Fiske Herself
Planned Film Pictures.
For the past four weeks Mrs. Fiske
has been busy with the making of the
pictures which will illustrate the story.
In the flm play the story closely fol-
lows the novel. and has allowed for a
display Of a great deal of originality
on the part Of Mrs. Fiske, who is al
most as capable a stage director as her
husband. The story differs widely from
the form Of the play made from IT by
Lorimer Stoddard. For this reason,
many scenes will be given which do not
appear in the play at all.
The picture performance will occupy
one whole evening. being made in i've
reels.
A special company is being fncor-
porated under the title of THE Mrs
Ffske Film Company to exploit the
film. which will be shown only in
theaters of the first Importance The
appearance OF Mrs Fiske in the picture
drama In America is as significant as
was that Of Nine. Bernhardt in France.

PAUL's CHOCOLATE PISTOL.

Paul's lap.
Paul Elder had been an invalid for
several months on account Of a spell
Of fever, 30 now he was to spend his
days In the air by the doctors orders
The box coming on his birthday was a
pleasant surprise. for he often got very
lonely when the other boys were OUT
on the ball field.
When Paul took OF the lid he found
inside what looked to be a beautiful
silver pistol, But knowing his uncle
would not send such a gift. he looked
more closely and found It was really

Hello. Paul, want to borrow your
bat this afternoon" said the boy, as he
dropped on 4 bench.
As the boys sat talking the converse
tion drifted to the question of courage.
Now Charles. the older boy. was a very
strong lad and very proud Of that fact
indeed. he was something Of a bully
and Dragged about his bravery simply
because he could whip some of the
smaller boys in a fight. But of real
courase-the courage to do what was
right in face Of other boys sneers-he
had none. He imagined all slender boys
who did not care to fight were towards

season. 1t has been a genuine relaxa-
uon. one which she has keenly en-
joyed.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is one Of
the masterpieces of the English lam
guage and its film dramatixation GER
tainly marks an epoch in the field,
besides auguring much for the future.
The combination of foremost actress
and the best known work of the
worlds foremost novelist is one that

possessed.
Pictures May Be
Shown In England.
An interesting development In con-
nection with the Tess pictures Is
that the picture rights to the novel
for the United Kingdom had been
secured by an English company, but
now that the American pictures have
the double value given them by Mrs
Fiske. 1t is altogether likely that no
pictures will be made in England.
but that the American ones will be
shown in both countries simultan-
eously.
Mrs. Fiske's next acting season will
open in September with her last years

the South. practically none Of the
interior territory being included in

and every detail has been looked to by
the directors in order to make this a
distinctly forward step in the motion
picture field.
The contract with Mrs. Fiske was
made several months ago. and 1t was
then the intention that she should ap-
pear as Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair. :"
but later 1t was decided to substitute
Tess. as 1t was found to be admirably
adapted to the form of pictorial narra-
tive. The work has progressed rapidly,
and more than one hundred different
scenes have been taken The pictures
will be released In the autumn.
