The immense success Of "Th'
Heart Of Humanity" Universal'i
great production, is a striking illus
tration of the moral that the square
deal pays. Universal gave Allen J.
Holubar, the director, square deal
and in return Holubar contributed
to Universal one of the really great
pictures of the screen.
Four years ago Holubar went ia
the old Imp Company, one of the
Universal units. He went because
his wife, Dorothy Phillips (the star
Of "The Heart of Humanity") had
gone there as an actress. He didn't
even get on the regular payroll at the
beginning but was content to "job''
It.
But his ability soon began to mani
fest itself, and Carl Laemmle and the
other heads of Universal proceeded
to nurse Holubar along. He be-
came an assistant producer, and when
Universal moved west, was made a
director. Several fine pictures had
already been placed to his credit
when THE Heart of Humanity" es.
tablished him permanently and in
dlsputablyin the front rank of screen
artists.
The ever-increasing army of o
Henry fans will be delighted to learn
that a new series Of motion pictures
based on the o. Henry stories is ex,
lpected to be made. Universal plans
to make the pictures, in which the
story will be Of first interest, rele.

Sandridge, the sheriff, comes a-woo
ing Tonia and hunting the Cisco Kid
and how the Kid double-crossed hin
and causes him to shoot Tonia b.

i'd story.

Work of filming "The Inner Cir
cle." the seventh Stage Women
Green Room series playlet, was CON
pleted recently when E. Spitz, super
vising director of the production
rendered a banquet to over eight
players who participated in the bi
cabaret scene which was the last /
be photographed. While the merry
makers dined and danced to must
furnished by a special orchestra, Di
rector Terwilliger secured severa
hundred feet OF film which will b
used in the production. Mr. Spit
maintains that he answered Mr.. Ter
williger's plea for typical cabaret at
mosphere to the letter. William
Courtenay and Jane Grey are tn
featured stars in "The Inner Circle.
Alfred Allen, who Is seen a
Gentleman Geoff," in the early epi
sodes of Marie Walcamps big new
Universal serial, "The Red Glove,
is not only talented actor and di.
rector but is an author Of parts. OF
such calibre is his literary work that
his name is on the honor role In
who's Who in America" Allen ran
away from school at the age of sew
'enteen years to play with Booth and
left long stage career, which has
carried him all over the world, for
the pictures four years ago.
J. P. MCGOWAN, directing Marie
Walcamp in "The Red Glove" Uni
versal's new serial, is a careful man.
