Evening star., 1915-11-14

The year following Molly Wainwright s
sensational leap as star into public favor,
her contract with the rather small COM
pany by which she was employed expired.
Immediately there was wild scramble
for her services. Fabulous sums We're
offered, and even the disappointed COM
ming by financial limitations agreed that
she was worth it all.
The Takagraph Company entered the
competition gravely and grimly. At the
end of a month her signature was affixed
to one of their contracts. She was as
signed to Frazer's stock company.
THE day she left to join the company
in Takaville, the movie city built by the
company in the most picturesque section
of New Jersey, Thornton Burgess, presi-
dent Of the company, took upon himself
the task of warning Miss Wainwright of
the director under whom she was to work.
you're familiar with Cal Frazer's
know that he ranks as one of the best
directors, if not the very best, in the film
industry. But you have probably not
heard that he is martinez. He is
brusque, curt to the point Of impoliteness.
He refuses to differentiate between star
and a supernumerary when things go
wrong. Discipline is his middle name.
But he's magnificent teacher-and we
have given him free rein
Burgess didn't notice Molly's per-
fectly rounded figure stiffen and her
appealing brown eyes flash fire. nor did
he give heed to the steely timbre of her
voice.
"A slave-driver?' she inquired quietly.
Perhaps. But an easy man to work
with, if one delivers the goods and does
as he says. But what he says-goes!'
"An individuality-robber?'
Burgess smiled.
Scarcely. He's too much of an artist
for that. The movies constitute his first
and only love. He's rather misan-
thropic guy otherwise. His company
hated him at first. Now they'd fight for
him. He's made actors of EN-"
al see.' Molly's lips were compressed
into thin whitish-crimson line.
The initial meeting of director and star
was inauspicious. She was frigid in her
acceptance of his none-too-hearty greet
ing, and mentally he catalogued her as
"swell-headed
"Stuck on herself" he mused cynically.
"Like the newly rich: doesn't quite know
how to take herself; and believes that

w ! an immovable object
" How many of you have had
that proDosition thrown at Won

w that proposition thrown at you
during the first-term high school eXamina-
tion in physics? Practically it's impos-
sible, but theoretically it is interesting.
And just such problem was amusing the
Takagraph Film Company's New Jersey
stock company: the irresistible force be-
ing personifed in Cal Frazer and the i'm
movable object in Molly Wainwright, star
of stars in the movie armament.
Cal was martinez. His best friends
damning admission with an adjective
studded eulogy regarding his undoubted
ability as director There was nothing
of mildness about Calls work in the studio.
He ruled his forces with rod of iron.
Discipline was his watch-word, his shib-
boleth.
Yet he was not pig-headed. He APP
preciated sound criticism, but that criti-
cism must come after working hours.
Sound or unsound, he gave every critic
hearing. If he agreed he curtly said
"Thank you, and adopted the idea sug-
gested. If he disagreed he said "Thank
YOU trife more kindly, and paid no
further heed to the advice. But, from the
time the empty camera clicked out its test
at the first rehearsal until the days work
was ended, Cal ruled with the iron hand
of Car. He was brusque, snappy, and
at times almost impolte. But his sins were
forgiven him-every one. Cal delivered
the goods.
TRAINED in the school of legitimate
drama, Cal had entered the film field
as director because he believed the field
for artistic dramatic expression even
greater in moving pictures than on the
stage. He was the moving pictures most
ardent devotee.
"There is no form of emotion, no de-
gree of action, that can not be filmed
said he SERIOUS, analytical drama will
always live; but the moving picture has
undermined the field of melodrama, and
the day will come when movie melodrama
will be on plane of equal elevation with
that now occupied by serious, searching
spoken drama"
Calls contract with the Takagraph
Company contained queer and unusual
provisions. He had been created the
final court of appeals in his domain,
and from the jump he ran things as he
thought they should be run, subject to
no ones orders, to no ones demands

might have been the
owner of the company.

she's the great and only" Where
with he heaved sigh of resigna-
ton. "My duty is plain. I'll have
to train her."
Next morning he ordered her
to the wardrobe woman for cos
tune in the first scenes of three
reel domestic drama in which she
was scheduled to make her debut
with the Takagraph Company
Her role was that of young wO-
man very much in love with her
husband. Their life is idyllic until
their first baby comes between
them. The young mother sacri-
fees everything for the child,
neglecting the husband. The finale
was scene in which he, in des-
peration, kidnaps his own child,
and she finally realizes the empti-
ness of his life and the injustice
she has done him. 1t was one of
the human interest pictures of everyday
life for which the Takagraph Company
had become famous, and role in which
Molly Wainwrights talent for gripping
work could be shown to best advantage.
Earle Davis was cast for the husband.
The day was not good for outdoor work,
and Frazer decided to devote himself to
the making of the interior scenes. AL
though there was an undercurrent of an
tagonism, the first few scenes went along
swimmingly. The girls work was superb.
1t was after a scene in which the quiet
happiness of their domestic life is shown
and wherein the young wife tells her
husband the great news of the coming
baby-that he broke an iron resolve and
praised her work.
"Excellent!7 he snapped Excellent
She looked up quickly and met s'gaze
for the barest fraction of an instant. And,
because she did not know the man, she
fancied that she detected an ironical note
in his praise. She flushed.
Then came the scene after the baby's
birth. The mother, lying in bed, is
gazing into the face of her child. The
husband is called to view the miracle.
The nurse steps back out of the picture,
leaving the parents and child together.
The mother scarcely notices her husband
she has eyes for no one but the baby.
The husband is surprised and hurt.
1t was one of the big scenes of the
picture.
Molly, the baby, and the nurse took
their positions. The camera man made
ready to click his machine in order that
they might test the number of feet it was
to run. Earle Davis took his place behind
the interior set, out of sight of the ma
chine, ready to enter at his cue.
Ready barked Frazer crisply. Care
full, now. Straight at the baby, Miss
Wainwright! That's it, More softness
to your face-ths is your first child. Miss
Carter, smile and nod indulgently You're
a nurse-you've seen this sort of thing
lots of times. Now, Davis has knocked
Tiptoe to the door. Let him in. Then,
as he enters, you step back as quickly as
you can without showing haste and get
out of range of the camera No! Nor
as the nurse turned her back to walk
across the room. walk backward. and
don't make it too hasty. Get out of the
room. Davis. Now do that over again"
Molly stirred and looked around at the
other actors. Frazer leaped forward.
Hold your pose, Miss Wainwright"
he shouted Hold
She flushed Indignantly

"'Hoid your pose, Miss Vain
wrighf' he shouted. Il said
hold your pose! Understand?'
"This is rehearsal" she retorted.
IL know it!' he roared. Frazer always
roared when directing big scene. "And
l said hold your pose! Understand"
Furiously she assumed her pose again.
The rehearsal proceeded. Finally the hus-
band was left gazing at his wife and baby.
"Now, Davis snapped the director
"lean over to kiss her-you're proud, re-
lieved, and happy. You're ready to drop
on your knees-so. Miss Wainwright,
don't look at him-look at the baby.
You don't know he's existing. That's it.
Now-as he leans over to kiss you-you,
with unconscious cruelty, turn farther
over to get better view of the child
Davis, you try to kiss the child. Miss
Wainwright, glance at him for just a
second and pull the child closer to you.
You think he's all yours-get me? Come,

belligerently.
"You've got to-" Then, turning to the
right: Miss Carter, positions. Take the
whole scene over. I'm going to get it
right"
"You mean you're going to get it your
way" interpolated Molly tactlessly.
The other members of the company
gasped. Frazer spun around in fury.
"Tm going to get it right!'
The third rehearsal passed off to the
liking OF the director.
aPicture!" he announced. @Poses!
Little softer expression, Miss Wainwright.
So! Closer to the bed, Miss Carter.
Ready! Camera!'
The machine started to click. Frazer
stood teetering on the balls Of his feet,
jaw set and eyes glittering, his whole atti-
tude speaking concentration. He said
nothing-it was his policy never to talk
to his actors during the actual taking of
scene unless absolute necessity arose, and
then to snap at them in monosyllables.
All went well until the part of the scene
that had caused trouble in rehearsal. And
then. deliberately, Molly Wainwright
acted it as she had at first-in the manner

against them.
At the beginning of the war, The
State pointed out similarity of the
condition of the Germanic and Aus
trian alliance with that of the Con-
federacy, and we believe it was the
first newspaper to direct attention to
it. We are not prepared to go so
far as The Tribune goes in antici-
pating the result, but for another
reason we quote literally from its
editorial:
Now, we in the United States have

able standard of measurement for

months and years the vanquished

with proper allowance for the diff
ference in size, the essential fact is
the same.
Yet, reading history, looking
back now, nothing is clearer than
that the South was always doomed,
unless it could get an early decision
on the battlefield. Outnumbered,
inferior in population, resources, cut
OFF from sea-borne commerce, the
South was condemned to defeat un-
less on the battlefield ii could win a
victory that would destroy the
armies before it.
Precisely this the South could
never do. 1t could win battles, cam

trate superior forces at the impor-
tant point, while inferior in numbers
