Triumph, Portraying in
Celluloid Qualities Which
Made Him Great on Stage.

was regarded, far and wide, as the
premier comedian of the spoken stage.
The name Of Fred Stone was synony-
nous with Montgomery and Stone and
one instantly identified that team
name with such stage hits as The
Wizard of o." THE Red Mill," 1.-The
Old Town." THE Lady Of the Slipper
and that greatest of all, "Chin Chin"
After the death of Montgomery in
1916, Stone continued his personal
triumph as an eccentric dancer and
comedian IN Jack O. Lantern"
Fred Stones success in Johnny,
Get Your Gun," 1t is said, will mean
the appearance Of more Fred Stone
pictures in the future, but it seems
odd that a man hailed as "America-s
most versatile comedian" should have
to battle through two film efforts be-
fore he could finally qualify az a
screen success. while an admitted
second-rater of the stage like Doug
las Fairbanks can not only leap into
instant popularity overnight but at
tain almost as quickly peerless dis
tinction in the film world.
Those who have watched stones
film work say the great comedian was
handicapped by his unfamiliarity with
his new medium and also by his in
ability to grasp, at once. the means of
applying to the celluloid those little
whimsicalities OF humor which had
stamped him as a genius of nirth-
making.

His Failure to Show Art

Although Fred Stone has long

hicles to bring Stone those laurels
OF success to which he SO easily at

finally reached real screen stardom
in his latest picture, Johnny. Get

In Johnny. Get Your Gun" Stone

revolutionized the results of that

OF the camera It is an open secret
that stones two earlier attempts

were not UP to the standard de-

Stone began to make Johnny, Get
Your Gun" he was at the crisis Of
his film career. He had been given
two previous trials and It began to
look like Stone was one of the CO.
medians whose comic art was the art
of the stage and not the art of the
celluloid.
Thus he began work on Johnny,
