"1n my motion pictures which I am
going to mako l shall have a chance
to use all of my circus stunts which
have not thought of for years. My
first picture will be a circus story and
most of 1t will portray my early life.
You know I was brought up on
trapeze, after being born on a bronco
out in Wyoming." At least we think
he said Wyoming. If we have care
lessly misplaced the state of his ma
tivity we beg his pardon; all states
west of the Mississippi are alike to US.
And then Mr.. Stone told US all about
his career from the cradle, or rather
the saddle, up, and Of how he and Mr.
Montgomery had their first big sue
cess in "The Wizard of o." and of how
he got his effects, and he wound up
by saying, "Why, Pm so crazy to get

to swing on and horse to ride and
rope to swing, and Doug Fairbanks

Shorter Phofoplays Coming

Maurice Tourneur believes that the
world war is creating a trend toward
shorter picture dramas.
"The movement, as I see it, is dis
tinctly away from, the full evening pho
toplay," declares Mr.. Tourneur. "This
is psychological in its cause. The
world war, with its attendant excite
ment, sacrifice and worry, is playing
upon the nervous system of the world.
Whether we know or realize it, the war
has keyed up our nerves to high pitch.
We are keenly restless, highstrung, un-
able to concentrate for any length of
time upon anything but the worlds
tragedy.
"This nervous reaction is rejecting
itself in every walk Of life. Short
stories, requiring but fifteen minutea or
so to read, were never so popular as
now. Poetry, which is, after all. but
the drama of life condensed into more
or less beautiful particles, is tremen-
dously popular, too.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-09
~ THE MOTION PICTURE PLAYERS ARE DOING
Laurence Grant
ToPlay "ToHeH
With the Kaiser''

"To He'll With the Kaiser" Is the
name of the new picture which Screen
Classics is about to launch, following
"My Own United States" Lest We
Forget" "The Stacker" Draft 25s,"
"The Legion Of Death" and others.
In quite an original manner the new
picture will show the Vaccinations of
Europe's military master before and
during the war, his contempt for Amer
leans, his plans to crush France and
destroy Russia and distribute the
world. including the United States,
among his sons and court favorites.
The producers have made a most
happy selection in choosing the player
to portray the Kaiser He Is Lawrence
Grant, an Englishman, who has made a
study of the Emperor Years before
the war Mr.. Grants physical likeness
to the German ruler was noted by a
high official of the Kaiser's court, and a
proposition was made for Grant to play
the Kaiser in dramatization of a book
of this diplomats. The declaration Of
war by the Allies caused Grant to re-
fuse to interpret the role under these
auspices. However, his photograph
showing him made up as the Kaiser
bore such a striking resemblance to
Wilhelm that Grant agreed to play the
character in vaudeville. He wrote an
act called "The Final Arbiter," which
after a long run he followed with a
dramatic sketch called efficiency" He
was playing this when engaged for the
picture.
The hero and heroine are played by
, Olive Tell and John Sunderland. Miss
Tell is a former Frohman star and
only recently left Broadway to appear
especially in this production.
MIR. Sunderland is an aviator, hero of
many battles around Liege and Namur
and Ypres at the beginning of the war.
The son of a wealthy Belgian, who
turned his fortune over TO his country
when Germany's hordes poured into its
cities and towns, Mr.. Sunderland imme-
diately gave up his profession and en-
tered the airplane service of Belgium.
He was wounded and came to America,
after engaging in more than one hun
dred air duels.
The Crown Prince is played by Earl
Schenck, who has previously distin-
guished himself in this despicable role.
All of the Kaiser's retinue, including
Won Hindenburg, Won Bethmann- Hol-
veg, Won Tirpitz, Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, Won Moltke and General
Truchess, are portrayed with true
characterization. Frank Currier plays
Miss Tells father and W. P Lewis has
the part of Satan, the Kaiser's CO.
partner.

forty-five people were expected at the
Broadway Theatre Monday night the
management did not have programmes
printed. Instead, they had new slip
covers put on all the. seats And all
the seats were used, thus disappointing
the management. The picture was
The Models Confession but the model
was not an artists model and she did
not economize in clothes.
THE best part Of the theatre is the
usherettes. There were only two of
them, but they were some James. l
would of liked to turn around and look
at them, only had on a tight collar
and a sunburnt neck
THE show was late. 1t was plain
that the management would not start
until they got a full house But
pretty soon they landed "a pair of
queens and the show began.
"The first picture was an education
al Universal Weekly, very patriotic
and all that. The next was a comedy
starring Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran.
Very thrilling. And then came the
feature. 1t had very unusual plot
What was it about? Ask H. u. She
knows. AS for me. I was busy with
the pair of Queens"
Here is another:
"A pair of skies played at Loew's
to record breaking crowd. There
were many notables present. including
myself The poker hounds were in
all their glory, and there was much
betting in the audience as to who
would get the highest spade. Well
here is the plot-Some friends were in
the pill business. Customers were so
rare that when one did come in they
would all jump on him. The result
was heated arguments. At last one Of
the partners left in disgust The other
two threw insults at each other until
Taylor Holmes got Cholly Horse and
they called it off.
Taylor is supposed to be the come
dian, but l think that the servant in
the house has a better batting average
than he. She was insanely in love with
him-and in these days, when there is
shortage Of cooks, he should of mar
ried her"
