James Young to Produce
"Hamlet" for the Screen

The Vitagraph players. under the di-
rection of James Young. one of the
foremost directors Of the Vitagraph
Company. are working on what prom
ises to be the most elaborate produc-
tion of Shakespeare's Hamlet" that
has ever been essayed, either on the
legitimate stage or in motion pictures.
Clara Kimhall Young will play Ophel-
Ia; James Young, Hamlct; Roger Lyt-
ton, the King; Charles Kent, Polonius 4:
Harry Morey the Ghost. The scenic
and property departments at the Vita
graph studios have been busy for weeks
past. preparing for this presentation.
II is a remarkable thing that no real,
adequate Shakespearean production Of
any Kind has been presented in pic
lures with the degree of detail, care,
thought and acting that would make
II presentation which would be popu-
lar with all classes of people. This is
the aim Of the forthcoming production
to tell the story of Hamlet pictorially
so that II may be thoroughly under
stood by the popular masses and also
to make II a classic which will be great
ly appreciated by the most critical and
exacting.
Mr.. Young has played the part of
Hamlet more than so times on the
legitimate stage. He was leading man
with Viola Allen in Twelfth Night
for two seasons, and starred for nine
years with his own company in Shakes
pearean repertoire. He has also ap-
peared with sir Forbes Robinson.

II the edges Of a saucepan are well
buttered. the contents will not boil
over.
When putting stopper into bot
tie always give 1t half-turn round
after it is in. This will prevent it from
sticking.
1t is a good plan to pepper carpet
thickly Just where any heavy piece OF
furniture has to rest on 1t. as this helps
to keep moths, etc, away.
The creakins of door may be m
stantly stopped by rI,Sbing the hinge
with a piece of soap. 1t does not spoil
the looks of the paint as " oil were
used.
Directly tea is split on tableclotn
cover the stain /itn common salt
Leave IL for a while. and when the
cloth is washed all stains will have
disappeared.
The reason that some marmalade will
not jell is probably because 1t has not
been boiled enough. Marmalade needs
a great deal more boiling than jam. 1t
requires from two and a half to three
hours.
To keep a cofreepot sweet put table
spoonful of baking soda into 1t. Fill u
two-thirds full of water and let it Doll
for an hour. Then rinse very thorough
ly. If this is done about once a week
the pot will always smell fresh anu
clean.
II small piece OF camphor is placed
in a bowl or glass of water 1t Will be
found to float on the surface, and when
lighted will prove a good night-nght,
especially as Camphor Is good disin-
fectant. and its smell not at all dis
agreeable.

To avoid danger in canned fruits,
after opening the tin, pour all the liquid

mix the medicine with a lump Of butter

Very few dogs will refuse this. Liquid
medicines which are not very nasty may
be dropped into milk.
One should always bear a fe- points
In mind when giving medicine to ami
mails. Keep the bottles. etc. well out Of
sight until the last moment Have
everything ready, so that when the time
comes there may be no delay in ad-
ministering the dose. Behave in an or
dinary manner to the creature, calling
it by some pet name. Finally. never use
force of any sort, save as last resort.
Temporary surgical aid is often neces-
sary when animals break bone. Thus,
where a dog breaks or sprains his leg.
even the toughest kind of splint, may
save further damage. The Leg. Of course.
is laid on the strip Of wood. and by the
use of a long bandage. is held in posi-
ton until II can be properly set. This
will often prevent dog from having
a crooked leg for the rest of his life.

zine Writers Turn
ing Out Screen
Plays Now.

The photoplay is creating conster-
nation among the editors of the bis
magazines these days. This unlooke d
for condition has arisen as the re-
suit of the stampede of popular au-
IEors to scenario writing Every da :
brings the announcement of a new
name on the scroll OF photoplay
writer's that formerly adorned the
index pages of big magazines. Har-
old McGrath, Richard Harding
Davis, Marie Corelli. George Ade,
and host of the other best SELL
ers' have no time for magazine
work now. They are too busy turn
ing out picture plays. A few days
ago a report was sent cut from Chi
cago that George Ade had signed a
contract which called for the pro-
duction of fifty plays, and that he
is to receive $4,000 each for them.
This may be simply a press agent
story, and II may not. Ten thou
sand dollars seems like a heap of
money to pay for one story-but
there are many big authors who can
get ten times that out OF a book
George Ade being one of them-and
as a photoplay gets more than ten
Times the circulation of the average
book. and brings the producers in
lot more money as compared with
their expenditures, il is not un-
reasonable to suppose the report Is
true.
However that may be, the big au-
thors are getting bigger prices for
photcplays than they are for stories,
FFnrr Il
Interested in the possibilities of the
screen. Jack London has become
tirmly convinced that the photoplay
IS the best way to reach the people,
and Rex Beach has expressed some
hing like the same views. The books
OF both are now being shown in
dramatized form on the screen.
The result OF all this is that the
authors are not writing short stories
and are writing photoplays. And
the great general public is benefit
ting thereby. Film stories by the
1"ry best writers In the country will
shortly become the rule rather than
the exception The effect on the
moving picture industry will be tre-
rnendous. And the Improvement in
the picture is bound to be grea-
no authors themselves are showing
even more enthusiasm for the screen
than they have for the magazines.
Harold MacGrath, the author Of
many books and Of the big film
feature, The Adventures of Kata-
IN" and Of the new Thanhouser
feature, The Million-Dollar Mys-
tery,"- has given the matter the
MOS careful study, and in a letter
TO Robert Grsu. whose THE Thea
ter OF Science is shortly to be pub
Eshed. analyses the matter from
the authors standpoint in this way:
The possibilities of the story pho
toplay cannot be imagined We're
