er Gordon, Mabel Ballin, Victory Bate
man, Tammany Young and William
Bechtel.
Another Of the Outing Chester

uncommon scenes.

"The FireHy of France" is the Para
mount picture in which Wallace Reid

attention as a serial in "The Saturday
Evening Post" and has lost none of it's
exciting incidents in the screen YER
sion by Margaret Turnbull. Reid will
be seen as young American of wealth
who goes to France to join the Lafay-
cite Esquadrillc. On his way over he
becomes involved in the activities of
a group Of German spies, whose atten-
tion seems centred on a charming
young woman he had encountered un-

How Could You, Gene?

we arrived at his hotel, straight from
near Jamaica, and the second thing he
said was "What kind of tea do you
l&e' And do you prefer orange mar
malade or honey on your toast?" Did
this in Eugene seem up-stage?
Later, with the pangs of hunger as
suaEed, our conversation wandered
from the relative merits OF orange
Pekoe and English breakfast and
orange marmalade versus honey to
other topics. Mr.. O'Brien smiled sadly
when we told him what we had heard
about him. "The truth is that Pm
always afraid some one is going to say
something disagreeable to or about me,
and the worst Of it is l never blame
them for saying it, but always think it
must be true" Now, wasn't that de-
lightfully humble and human? And we
liked him more than ever, because we
feel the same way.
81 am so affected by such things that
lose heart if read an adverse criti-
cism. l remember the night l opened
in The Country Cousin WAS stand
ing in the wings waiting to go on and
feeling more frightened than I ever
had felt in my life, when some one
came UP to me and said: See what The
Tribune said about you in "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm."' Take it away l
said. IF see it shan't be able to go
ON But, of course, l couldn't resist
looking at it, and it SO happened that
you had said something nice about me,
and as read it felt my courage COM
ing back, until | could have gone out
and played The Country Cousin all
alone.
"Do you remember what you said?
Well, [ do. You wound up by saying:
'We hate to see Mary Pickford grow up
and get married, but if she must marry
how fortunate that she may marry Eu-
gene O'Bren.'"
We did not see Mr.. O'Brien in "The
Country Cousin" but we know what the
critics said about him, and now we
know why he was so good!
Mr.. O'Brien is always Norma Tai
madge's leading man. Only in her
most recent picture, Ode Luxe Annie"
he was the villain, and Frank Mills was
the hero.
Mr.. O'Brien told us that he doesn't
care about playing villains, particu-
larly the sort who kick ladies in the
face and snatch their necklaces from
them. 1t wasn't a real refined thing to
do, we must admit, but we are so used
to seeing Miss Talmadge allotted to
Mr.. O'Brien that we hoped right up
to the last moment he would reform
and claim his customary reward. He
did not, however, and the final fade
away held no promise of a future to-
gother
P. S.--Mr. O'Brien is six feet tall.
He has blond hair and blue ewes and
is much handsomer off than he is on.
He is outside the draft age. He isn't
rarried. That is all we know about
I'm, honestly, and it doesn't seem a
DIT nice to enter. any ones home and
take tea with him and then tell to a
palpitating public what color eyes he
has and how much he weighs and what
I he eats. But the fans always demand
these facts about screen stars, so what
is one to do?

BY fIarriette Underhill

If +. p. A. were here instead Of in
France doing his two bits we should
ask him to say for US in verse;
"a man | love is Gene O'Brien.
He never wears belted coat"
He could make it rhyme, while we
are compelled to put it in vers iibre
or prose. However, it's true, and the
advantage of prose is that one does
not have to conhne himself to two
lines. If +. 2. A. were here We should
ask him, too, to send his Blessed
Knight 20 slay the actor who invented
the beltcd coat for screen purposes.
SO it wasn't because Eugene O'Brien
was better looking than most people,
nor because he played with that re-
PRECISION which has had the indorse-
ment of all of the very best movie
critics in town that we wished to i'll
terview him. No - primarily we re-
garded him as an interviewer because
he never wore q coat with a belt on
it. Probably before this appears he
will have done so and shattered all
of our girlish illusions. We, too, "never
nursed dear gazelle" without finding
out that it had feet of clay.
In all that we have said we except
Charles Ray. He wears Il bolted coat
always, but we shall continue to like
him no matter what he wears.
For some time past this subject of
beited coats has encroached on most
of our waking reveries. 1t has ousted
the screen ingenue with curls, and
when we went to interview Geraldine
Farrar she won our heart Immediately
by saying "Why do screen heroes always
belt themselves just below the chest
and mark the spot with a gunmetal
buckle ," "They don't" we answered.
Eugene O'Brien is the exception" We
said that after we had seen him in two
pictures; and then we got three letters,
one from Edith" one from "H r. H.
and one from Vera saying "Please
write story about Eugene O'Brien.
We leave place in our scrapbook for
it," SO to please Edith and Vera and
Fl. r. l.. and ourself we asked q nice
y. a. to arrange meeting with Miss
O'Brien.
BEFORE we went some one told us
that Eugene O'Brien was terribly up
stage, but it was the same person who
told US that Fred Stone was difficult to
interview, so we didn't attach much
Importance to it.
Perhaps he is up-stage, but we never
shall cease to regard him tenderly; for

New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

One day last week, just before we
started on our vacation, Harley Knoles
invited us over to the old studio in
Forty-eighth Street, which is three
miles east Of Fifth Avenue. The only
way you can get there is to own your
own car or inveiglc friend into let
ting YOU use his. The latter method
appealed to us strongly, and we arrived
at the studio just in time to eat up
three quarters of Mr.. Knoles's hard
boiled eggs, which is the only thing
you can get for luncheon over there.
Somehow it seems that the studios
are not as convenient nor as elegant as
they should be, considering who is to
work in them. How does any one
dare to ask a person who is earning
as much as the president Of the United
States to 60 to work in a place sit
uated away over on the East River,
where he can't get anything to eat
from the time he leaves New York in
the morning until he gets back again
in the evening? Truly "east is east"
William A. Brady is going to pro-
duce Little Women" on the screen
and Harley Knoles is directing it, 1t
seems as though we cannot wait until
September to see the picture, for it
is going to be wonderful. Mr.. Knoles
spent weeks in selecting the people
Tor the different parts, and he went up
TO Concord, the home Of the little
women, and consulted pictures and
records before he did anything on the
play.
1t wasn't difficult to pick out the
four girls, Meg, 10, Beth and Amy,
for they look exactly as Louisa NJ.

TheDangerMark'
Is One of Weeks
New Photo Plays

Elsie Ferguson in a screen version
of Robert W. Chambers novel "The
Danger Mark" will be the stellar at
traction at the Rivoli this week. The
story is really a psychological study
of the heroine during her battle TO
overcome the taste for intoxicants
which is hex natural heritage from a
line Of dissipated ancestors. The
temptations incident to wealth and
luxury are visualized cleverly by Hugh
Ford, who directed the production, and
the strengthening effect of a worthy
love is shown to be the heroine's ulti-
mate salvation. Mahlon Hamilton plays
opposite the star, with Gertrude Nc
Coy, Crauford Kent and Maud Turner
Gordon composing the rest of the cast.
The scenario is by Charles Maiene,
who wrote the screen version of Mae
terlinck's "The Blue Bird"
The ballet music from Goldmark's
opera, "The Queen of Sheba," will be
played by the Rivoli orchestra, Erno
Rapee conducting. For good measure
the orchestra also will render selec-
tions from "Alice in Wonderland" by
Victor Herbert. Greek Evans will sing
"a Sergeant Of the Line" by w. II.
Squires. Julia Beverly will be heard
again, singing Massenet's "Elegie."

DETROIT. Sept. 26.-Making his

did not intend to be bound by any
party considerations, democratic or
republican. L hold myself free to
support such measures, whatever
their origin, as commend them
selves to my judgment for the best
interests OF all the people" Mr.. Ford
wrote. He added that he had not
spent a dollar TO win the nomina =
ton at the August primary. and did
not intend TO spend a cent TO win
the election. Nj Ford did not at
tend the convention.
