OFFERS DOUG A MILLION

"A million dollars if you'll teach me to do some of your stunts" said Thomas Rhodes to Douglas Fairbanks last week, when visiting the latters film studio. The boys father is James D. Rhodes the Pittsburgh millionaire who recently put four million dollars in the bank for his 16-year-oId boy. He is a true blue Fairbanks admirer, and purposely made the trip to South ern California so he could make Douglas a business proposition.
 I'm serious, MT. Fairbanks and have certified checks in my pocket 10 make good my offer.'
 That's great replied the famous screen acrobat. but you're too lib eral with your money. I'll tell you how we'll arrange it. You invest that amount in Liberty Bonds and I will teach you the stunts as a compliment to your generosity.'
 The bargain was soon completed and young Rhodes wired his Fifth Avenue tailor to make him an athletic outfit.
 How many more wealthy young men want to spend a million for Liberty Bonds and get a free course in Fair banks stunts?
 Douglas is scheduled to start on his transcontinental Liberty Loan tour the early part of April. H o recently vol unteered his services to Secretary Me Adoo, who promised to keep him very busy in the interest of government work.

WEARS FORTUNE IN JEWELS

In motion pictures even more than on the stage. nothing is moro easily initiated than jewels, especially pearls From time immemorial a string of white beads, probably from the ten-cent store has been the lure that draws the daring crook to the millionaire's home. Or they are the 'price' someone is forever paying in the conventional film play. The so- phisticated spectator always passes this detail by hoping that some day the film people will resort to an ex- pedient that will make the pearls seem at least synthetic pearls. if not real ones.
 AS might be expected from the foregoing warning. this has been done. Furthermor it Is accom- pHshed by newcomers in the field of production: g. new company and a new star. Goldwyn Is the sponsor Of this innovation and the star is that most radical artiste, Mary Garden.
 Pearls play an important part in her second vehicle, written for the exploitation of her genuine gifts by Kate Jordan. It is called The Splendid Sinner" Mary Garden be- reft of the trappngs of ''Thais," ap- pears in habiliments scarcely less un- usual, though the part she essays is that of a brilliant woman of the half-vorld of today.
 Miss Gardens own pearls are fla nous. two strings in particular which encircle her throat having been pre- scented to her by q, European sov- ereign in recognition of the impetus given Greek art when she made her sensa tionai appearance as "Aphro- dite" at the Paris Opera. These lovely ornaments she supplements with many others-rings. bracelets and splendid pear-shaped pearl-ln her newest Go1dwyn production Two superb bracelets each containing seven hundred and eighty brilliantS, she also wears. One of these baubles holds q ruby, the other a diamond. and each approxmates ten karats- Rinss without number. bar pins buckles and brooches she wears in the course of the production ad- iuncts to the many costumes em- ployed in the play.

JOKE HAD SERIOUS TURN

Attaches Of William Fox's studio at Fort Lee \. J.. recently undertook to perpetrate a joke" on Katherine Lee. one of William F'oX's Baby Grand" stars Cher sister Jane is the other,l and now they regret it be- cause the little pleasantly turned out to be somewhat of a boomerang. Katherine overheard them planning to "rob' a bank near Fort Lee, and ''fell' for the plot She exposed the plans of the supposed burglars to Director kcnean Buel, who makes the films starring Jane and herself MT. Buel com plmented her for being so alert and advised her to watch the conspirators carefully. Later she saw the ''jokers' study , ing a drawing of the banking room and the paper was left purposely where Katherine could get it. She telephoned to MT. Fox about it and 1 was told to bring it to the office. On the way to New York she lost it and the finder turned it over to the Fort Lee police, who had to investigate the matter.

Photographs of persons she has known. and of herself, her family and intimate friends, are being collected. When the volume reaches the public in printed form, it will contain much interesting information not only about the star herself, but the many prom inent people in social, dramatic and public life whom she has met.

 It is anticipated that this work will find it's first presentation in serial form either in a national magazine or a. chain of newspapers, following which, it will be issued in one volume.
 The public is always interested in the experiences of one who has done his best to entertain it, and in the case of Mary Pickford, who is prob ably the most popular girl in the world, her own story of her life will no doubt be widely read. s.

PETR0VA IN NEW FILM

The Life Mask.' the third special production listed for release on Madame Olga Petrova's starring cal endaT for a premiere in March, Is marked by the introduction of an ao~ solutely new photographic effect. Tn several of the scenes in which the famous Polish artistc appears she Is called upon to go through the reaIi- ties of a terrible nightmare, during which period her mental condition becomes hay and unbalanced. Dur ing this time of mental stress her husband is murdered. I1 order to properly register the chaotic cond1- ton of mind which takes place in the average nightmare, Director Frank Crane and photographer Messrs Lane and Harris hit upon most novel and effective scheme.
 At the beginning of the important scenes Madame Petrova. is shown seated in a, chair placed well In the back ground of the set. AS sleep be- gins to overpower her and the force of the nightmare makes It's grip felt every object on the set IS thrown out of focus with the exception or the central figure of the star herself Madame Petrova, is then brought slowly and effectively directly toward the lens of the camera with staring eyes and terror-stricken mem. Gradually the scene is thrown out or focus a gain and the mental aberra- tion which takes place is most str1k- ingly conveyed by the befogged and murky atmosphere of the picture. AS the leading character slowly lapses
 into normal once more. the same trick is again resorted to, this time first throwing the background ill and out of proper focus and then cutting sharply to a closeup Of Madame Petrova clearly defined in natural pose. It is believed to he tho first time that the camera has been put to such a novel and effective use and the results as seen in '"The Life Mask" are startling and impressive in the extreme. The idea is regis tered at once upon the minds of the audience absolutely without sub-titles of any sort and inasmuch as these scenes are the most i'm portant in the entire production. the audience Is properly impressed at the risht time.
 Another unusual and delicate piece Of camera work is shown in a scene of Petrova's third starring vehicle deplctlng a deatn champe Ine ca n>era has been masked top and bot tom, photographing just enough of the picture to convey the impression of death without showing the body.
 The Life Mask was directed by Frank Crane, producer of GoldWyn's famous ma sterpiece, 'Thais,' and photogra phed by Messrs. Lane and Harris. The story has been scena- riorized by Mrs. T.. Case Russel, re- sponsible for Madame Petrova's sec ond vehicle. The Light Within.' IT. is scheduled for release through the exchanges Of the First National Elk hibitors Circuit during the month of March, being number three of the eight starring productions in which the famous star will appear during the current film year
