A TALK WITH REX BEACH

like onions; so. having produced the
desired effect, Mr.. Beach continued:
"They would all have the same
flavor, wouldn't they, and that is ex-
ectly what / mean in regard to see
narios done by staff writer-they all
have the same flavor. Then, too, star
is engaged, and because he or she is
drawing 6 large salary he or she must
be made to fit the character. When
The Barrier was in embryo mean
tho screen adaptation decided that
as ! had made the characters, | alone
knew just how they looked. l had
mental picture of each, and | hunted
around until found people who seemed
10 fit the parts perfectly. Then ! en-
gagged them, and l am delighted with
the results.
81 am told that Mabel Julene Scott,
whom l engaged to play Necis, never
had appeared on the screen before. But
she looked exactly as l fancied Necia
ought TO look. and the results are
quite gratifying. believe she has
scored a personal success in The Bar
rier.' Mitchell Lewis also is exactly
my idea of 'Poleon.
81 do not intend TO select stars TO
play in any of my stories. The Auction
Block will be the next It is now un-
der WY, and j am most anxious to see
it produced"
Mr.. Beach is not only a motion
picture producer; he is motion piet-
ure actor as well, for he is appearing
in a series of pictures which show him
shooting big game between here and
South America.
"I'm afraid | haven't said anything
that you can write about" said the
modest Rex Beach. "You see, have
been in the silent drama such a short
time that have not yet learned to talk
on the subject with any degree of as
surance. ] am going out to the Coast
tomorrow to begin another story of
Alaska like best to write Of Alaska,
but l prefer TO do it in sunny Cali
fornia. As a matter of fact, l like
Alaska only in the summer"
And so, when Mr.. Beach's next story
Of the frozen Northwest appears we
shall picture him, not as we have done
formerly-in snowshoes and furs-but
in fannels and Panama, writing in the
shade Of an orange tree.
