"The Clock of Doom"

|
Unecrognized by Aline, Ralph is
grasped by the detectives who start
to handcuff him. He tears himself
free, throws the officers to one side
and laps from tn window. TIL police
pursue him, but he climbs to the root
of six-story building by sealing the
wall, and eludes his pursuers for a
| few moments.
Nell and Shorty are chased by the
detective. Shorty enters Cooley's
room, and finds him busy with an in
fernal machine, in which dynamite is
to be set off by a clock-work. Think
ing the detective is coming in, Cooley
sets the Internal machine to go off in
five minutes and heand Shorty escape
down a dumbwaiter, but it is Nell,
and not the detective, who enters the
room. She runs to the door, which
has been left open, and starts to pull
up the dumbwaiter. The clock is APP
preaching the minute of the eXplos-
ion. Just as the machine is about to
explode, Nell succeeds in getting into
the dumbwaiter. There is a big ex-
plosion and the room is torn to
pieces.
Nell falls with the dumbwaiter but
is uninjured. She escapes. Mean
while, the other detective and police
men are following Ralph. They chase
him up the fire escape, and Ralph
makes thrilling jump from the roof
of one house to the next, distance
of Ia feet. Then Ralph lets himself
down to the ground by means of a
rope hanging from a painters scat
fold,
That night, Ralph adopts bold
plan to secure confession from Al
inc, whom he still believes he took
home the night of Harding's murder.
He climbs up the side of the house,
and enters Aline's boudoir. Ralph de-

''HIS MAJESTY, THE AMERICAN"
First Release by the "Bg Four Features Douglas Fair
banks In Strenuous Film

1t is doubtful if any motion picture
was ever awaited with as much in
tcrest and anticipation as Douglas
Fairbanks new picture. CHS Males
ty, The American.
Something more than mere inter
est in motion picture lies back of
this anticipation, for "His Majesty,
the American" is Douglas Fairbanks
! first independent production and
marks the first release of United Ar
fists Corporation, the so-called "Big
Four"
In January of 1919 the entire
amusement world was startled by
the formation Of the United Artists
Association. This Association was
formed by Mary Pickford, Char
lie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and
/ D. w. Griffith. These artists, con-
ceded throughout the world to be
the screens foremost producers, af-
ter having released their pictures for
number of years through various
distributing companies decided that
to assure their best work and in order
to have full independence for the
highest expression of their art, they
would upon the completion of their
then-existing contracts, release their
own pictures, direct to the theatres
of the country.
This move for independence by the
foremost artists of the screen is
the most important and beneficial step
that has been taken in the motion
picture business since it assumed it's
leadership in the amusement field.
1t means for the motion picture pa
irons that Mary Pickford, Charlie
Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D.
w. Griffith will hereafter be enabled
to produce pictures in their own way.
They will make fewer pictures
than they have made before, and
this in itself will be an advantage.
Heretofore they have been obliged to
turn out certain number of produc-
tons within a given period and con-
sequently have not always had the
time to perfect their work.
Thus, under the leadership Of the
screens foremost artists is the per-
lection of motion picture entertain
ment in sight.
The first picture made under these
ideal conditions is ellis Majesty, the
American"

filming of "His Majesty, the Ameri

mands confession from Aline, but
she does not understand him. The
maid hears a mans voice and informs
Morton, who enters with a revolver.
Ralph tells his story. Aline, impress
sed by Ralph, pleads with her father
that Ralph really seems to believe
taht she is the woman. Morton
agrees to let Ralph go, on condition
taht he devote himself to finding this
other woman, who so closely resemb-
les his daughter. The police, who
have been called, enter the house, just
as Morton tells Ralph to get out of
the window. Then Morton shoots a
pistol in the air, and tells the police
man "the burglar got away" Ralph
eludes the police by taking refuge in
q sewer.
The next day trap against Aline
is sprung. The tire on her limousine
is cut and her chauffeur hires pas
sing cab, which is driven by Cooley.
Aline enters the car, Shorty jumps in
on her and after struggle, she IS
carried to the basement of an aband-
oned grain elevator at the river SIDE.
Here Blake is waiting, and he eX-
plains to Aline taht if she will write
to her father as he dictates, she will
be freed. Aline refuses to write the
letter. Blake and his crooks are about
to torture her, when Ralph, who has
found his way from the sewer to an
opening into the building, enters. A
big fight follows. Aline escapes.
Ralph runs up a ladder to the top
floor of the elevator, followed by
Shorty and Cooley. Aline running
meets policeman, takes him back
to the elevator to save Ralph. Mean
while, Ralph has gone out on the win
dow ledge at the top of the elevator.
Cooley shoots at him, and to save his
life, Ralph makes thrilling dive from
the top of the elevator into the river
below.

cam" he broke away from every pro-
duction tradition thav he knew. This
new film was to be Douglas Fair
banks first release through United
Artists Corporation-the big Four
and inasmuch as it was to be his
bow as a genuine Independent pro-
Queer and distributor, Doug" took
''the lid off the cash-box,"
From every standpoint of produc-
tion-settings, atmosphere, players
and mechanical equipment-"His
Majesty, the American" is reported
to outshine anything that Mr.. Fair
| banks has heretofore attempted.
The story which was prepared By
Joseph Henaberry, Mr.. Fairbanks di-
rector, with the assistance of Elton
Banks, was worked over for eight
weeks. 1t deals with the adventures
ola young New Yorker who lives OF
excitement. His unquenchable
thirst for new thrills, leads him
across two continents and the set
tings necessary for the portrayal of
the story have cost tidy fortune.
A Mexican village was built in the
hills surrounding the Fairbanks stu
dos in Hollywood In mother place
complete French town was con-
structed and in another section of the
studio a New York tenement street
was erected A French railway line
was needed so one 1900 feet long and
of standard continental design was
laid, the carriages being the exact
duplicate of the type in use abroad.
The interiors, like the exteriors,
are said to be a revelation, both as
to magnitude and beauty. Although
the new stage of the Fairbanks stu
dios in Hollywood In another place
it was not large enough for a ire
mendous interiors of a palace. So
one end of the gigantic stage was
removed and so feet of flooring add
ed to give the proper proportion to
this beautiful and imposing scene.
From the back of the main floor to
the cameras measured $50 feet which
makes this probably the largest in
terror ever used in motion picture.

Priscilla Dean is back at Univer-
sal City after an exciting experience
as a near free lance. Priscilla made
a contract with Universal a couple
of years ago which carried an option
for an additional year at stated
salary. The greed upon stipend
looked pretty good then but now
adays it wouldn't have paid the sal
airy of a good "bit" player A legal
flaw was found in the 'poipers" and
Priscilla announced that Universal
would see her over the fence from
the roof of her limousine. After
considerable dickering Universal ad-
mitted that the salary mentioned in
the option was more or less piffiing
and Priscilla came back to draw
weekly pay check that will augment
her bank balance quite bit. During
the parleying, however, Miss Dean
received offers from practically every
important producing company in
the field at figures ranging up into
the thousands. Not so bad for a girl
who thought seventy-five a week was
fortune two years ago.

Things of Interest
Among the Players

With the most prosperous era in
the historylof the cinema before them
picture producers are making more
or less frenzied efforts to corral stars
feminine ones chiefly, although
several masculine players are filing
daily offers. Likewise it is the golden
age for the exhibitor for every thea
ter owner in the country who has an
ounce of go-to-it-iveness in his veins
is reaping the harvest notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is paying more
TOR his commodity than even dream
ed of year ago. AS an instance of
the remarkable rise in his rentals,
the first Fairbanks release via the
United Artists Chg Four) is being
distributed on a basis of $1,000,000
gross for the United States. One can
only realize the tremendous advance
when it is considered that the best
any Fairbanks picture has ever done
was something like 100000 covering
period of two years rentals.
ne Dig our is using Cne coming
Mary Pickford pictures as bait, ex-
hibitors who sign for the Fairbanks
photoplay being given the privilege
of taking "Pollyanna," the first Pick
ford -Four release, at a figure yet to
be fixed. The new Fairbanks pic
ture, "His Majesty, the American"
likewise, is the most costly one ever
manufacturedeby that dynamic star
as it is said to have caused an out
lay of more than 100000. The sets
used alone, cost something like $780,
600. So other producers watching
these mounting prices in pop-eyed
amazement are rushing madly about
offering stars hitherto unheard Of
sums to don makeup in their behalf.
