Many Photoplays Made
In Washington Lately

Washington has been the mecca for
moving picture companies duriny the
past month. The Edison Company was
the first to come to the city with Z
| company to take the pictures for The
!mpersonator." I'm which Alice Joyce
and Earc McDerInoIt was starred
These ictures have already been OK
:lib'ted in the city. and show parts OF
Rock Creek Park, Connecticut avenue,
the White Lot, and White House. The
action of the play takes the players
pretty well over the city, and Washing
tonians can pick out a lot of familiar
scenes.
Following the Edison bunch came a
company of Selig players. with pretty
little Gwendolyn Pates, who recently
left the Pathe forces for the big Chica go
firm. This company remained here for
some time, taking scenes for a number
of comedies in which Miss Pates will be
shown as the star in the near future.
William Crew was in charge OF the COM
pany. He put them through their PAGES
during the time they were here
Then came Tom Wise and a lot Of the
brauy pldSelS " 'dho the w dshihSI Ioii
scenes for the film production Of The
Gentleman from Mississippi" Wise
has lot of friends In Washington, and
they made the stay Of the well-known
actor and his companions very pleasant.
They only left the city last week. 1t is
probable that from now on until the be-
ginning OF summer the city will be the
objective Of many companies OF players.
Washington Is a favorte place with
many of the players ana the directors.
They say 1t is the only city in the East
where scenes can be taken that COM
pare with the California settings. Some
Of them declare that they like to play
for the pictures in Washington better
than they do in California.

potatoes, with desserts and fruits, by
cooking double quantity ut one time,

Nevertheless, that is the one thing

Besides, he'll never know a thing

And you'll never know a thing about
