BERNSTEIN PLAY MOVED.
Samson" story OF frenzied finance
Is now in preparation by the Box Office
Attraction Company at the William Fox
Studios. Henri Bernstein, author Of
"The Thief" Israel and many other
plays of equal prominence, created n new
school in modern drama known as the
"climacterlc school" In all of his dramas
he attains his ends by series of climRxes
and anti-cllmaNes that work up to one
powerful situation which virtually over
whelms the audience. He uses these
methods in Samson" This character is
n modern giant of the stock exchange
who wrecks his own temple Of wealth in
order to crush an enemy. William
Farnum, the creator of Ben. Hur" and
late star in the production Of ''The Spoil
ers' will be featured in Samson"
ODDS AND ENDS.
Lillian Walker, of the vitagraph Play
ers, has more sisters, brothers, cousins,
aunts and fathers and mothers than any
other motion picture artist. Now that the
holiday season Is at hand, every mail
brings her new batch of relatives, some
Of whom just want to know that she is
happy and wish to be remembered. while
others insist she drop ner work and come
to live with them, asserting that as she
Is so rich she might show her appreCia-
ton of having sprung from their family
Tree by helping Johnnie or Billy through
college. The last straw was when the
fair Lillian received a threatening letter
from n long lost father, upbraiding her
Tor running away from home and leaving
ler family to suffer. Following a long
history of the family troubles, the letter
concluded with the statement that now
she has so much money the only possible
'estitution they would accept would be a
ife of ease for the remainder of their
lays.
