EDNA GOODRICH FILM FINISHED

The initial Edna Goodrich photoplay
to be released by the Oliver Morosco
Photcply Co on the Paramount pro-
gram has been finished at the Yves.
Coast studios. ""Thc Making of Mad
dalena' is the title CT the offering and
will be released June Sth.
As a play this subject by Mary and
Samuel Lewis has met with big success
throughout the country having starred
Mary Emerson in the original title role.
In preparing the story for the screen
the MGrosco company gave its produce
ing staff full sway in the matter of
financial outlay in order that the best
results obtainable might be secured.
Early reports from the coast indicate
that the photoplay offers another ex-
cellent subject for the Paramount pro-
gram, not only because of the fact that
1t is understood to present the best
work of the star and an exceptional
cast, out on account of the capable and
elaborate manner in which it has been
staged, As an instance of the care with
which, each feature of the photoplay
mas peen treated might be mentioned
the fact that Miss Goodrich spent three
weeks and over three thousand feet of
film in tests working for the perfec-
ton of her make-up.. Great artistry
was required to stimulate the Italian
type of beauty in contour, eye shading
and character shadows of the face be-
| fore the beautiful star was satisfied
with the result. In staging the big
dramatic scenes of the play, musicians

SALLlE FISHER COMING TO LION
IN THE LITTLE SHEPHERD
OF BARGAIN ROW"

Fifty miles from nowhere, which is
in Wyoming, was the birthplace OF
Sallie Fisher, former Dillingham; star,
featured in Essanay's multiple reel
feature, THE Little Shepherd of Bar
gain Row." From a cattle ranch to a
leading part in musical comedy in less
than two years was her achievement.
Miss Fisher is ideal in the part of
the brusque young business woman
who rises TO the management of the
business. The film version of Howard
McKent Barnes novel and drama also
contains Richard Travers and John
Junior. Fred f. Wright directed the
piece.
"trip to Europe finished her educa-
ton under tutors at the ranch and she
undertook musical comedy because of
her voice which quickly won her a
place. 'Chaperons' and 1.-THE Billion
are" marked her first work before she
obtained good parts with Frank Dan
iels in 1.-The Office Boy" and The
Tatooed Man" "A Knight for a Day
followed and then she left Broadway
for Chicago, appearing for Mort Sing
er at the Princess for two years. The
Goddess of Liberty" "Heartbreakers"
and "A Stubborn Cinderella" were her
Chicago productions.
She starred in The Girl on the
Train a Dillingham; production and
then appeared IN Modern Suzanne"
Her most recent work was with Conan
q Harris in the revival of Forty five
Minutes From Broadway"
Her inimitable style of comedy lends
itself wonderfully to the screen, es-
pecially in this play. AS the young
business woman who rises to the man
agement of the store over ladder built
of ability, brusque manner. and snap
by commercial epigrams, she is ire
sistable. When she marries the son
of the late owner of the big store and
continues to manage both the business
and her husband in her own way, the
spectator readily sees what a fitting
ending has been designed bv the au-
thor for his suffragette heroine.
Every girl who works behind coun-
ter in Phoenix should see THE Little
Shepherd of Bargain Row" for it is a
story of how a woman made good. She
had brains and she used them, the re-
suit was that she climbed the ladder OF
