NOVEL STUNTS
 USED IN THE
 SCREEN MAGAZINE

Shooting desert island stuff' for the coming Cecil B. DeMille produc- tion Male and Female" is to be the important factor of the new tenth issue of 'Photoplay Magazine Screen Supplement" announced wy Vice President E. W. Hammons for re- lease in November through the ex- changes of the Educational Films Corporation of America.
 The sunny beaches of Santa Cruz off the coast of California-pro- vide the locations, while Gloria Swanson, Thomas Meighan, Bebe Daniels, Theodore Roberts and Lila the alI-star lineup of players en- gagged in making M. DeMiues silver sheet adaptation of J. M Barrte's play, '',The Admirable Crichton." No photopIay in many months has been so widely anticipated as Male and Female''-and seldom do photoplay fans have the privilege of standing behind the camera during the mak- ing of an important feature as they do in these Supplement- views.
 Nor does that end, by any means, the attractions of the reel. Mrs. Charley Chaplin, Bessie Barrisca1e, Pauline Frederick, Eddie Polo and others of note will be "at home'' for their admirers. There will be the in teresting opportunity of a ramble through Hollywood gardens with Mildred Harris Chaplin and her Di- rector, and, a little later on, various scenes of Pauline Frederick with her mother at home.
 Eddie Polo, star of serial fame, is seen Lard at work on an action scene, and then, Immediately after, is shown the process of taking a 1 ''still' picture, with the same scene l held in notOnless tableau while the ! "stilP' photographer comes forward with his camera Humorous bits make the Eddie Polo section espe- cially interesting.
 Bessie BarriscaIe is ''cha peroned'' by her director husband, Howard l Hickman, and a little story is DOT trayed wherein Husband Hickman is very earnestly at work teaching Leading Man Thomas Holding, how to make love to his wife. '7The Sup plement'' concludes with a new Wal lace Carlson cartoon.

PROTEST!

Barbara Castleton arises to pro- test against the announcement that she had part in Tower of Ivory.'' She says it would be nearer the truth to say she has four parts. For in the woman she is to play there are four distinct charaCteriZat lions to be made. First she is a half-starved, ragged looking individual Next she is a dancing girl in a rough cafe. From these phases she rises to that of be- ing the pampered pet of a wealthy rake and finally emerges in full re- generation as a famous opera sing CT and wife of an ardent admirer.

SERIAL FILMS SEEM
 TO BE THE RAGE

Serial films are all the rage because of the extraordinary call for them from the exhibitors of the country. This demand exceeds the supply and capital is going into this branch of production as fast as necessary stars can be found. There is keen anti cipation among the film craft in the forthcoming serial of the Frohman company, in which Ruth Clifford is the dominating personality. It is promised that this will strike out on new lines avoiding the artificial thrill stuff that has strongly characterized all such matter up to the present.

KEENAN'S LEADING WOMAN.
 KATHLEEN KIRKHAM

Kathleen Kirkham is a great ad- mirer of the art of Frank Keenan, both on the screen and on the stage, and the admiration must be recipro- cal because Miss Kirkham is to ap- pear for the third time in a Keenan production. Neither of these artists depends for results upon their per sonal appeal, and their joint efforts always promise something novel in the way of acting.

WOULDN'T BE RECOGNIZED
 WITHOUT CIGAR

It is a tradition in the Goldwyn studios that Director Clarence Badger would not be recognized if he should appear on the ground without his cigar. Badgers success with the Mabel Normand, Madge Kennedy and Will Rogers films should cause some other directors to ascertain his brand of ''snokes.'' President Lincoln once said he intended to find out what kind of whiskey General Grant drank, so that he could buy a lot for some of his other generals.

NEW FARCE ADAPTED

What's Your Husband Doing?' has put a new feather in the cap of Director Lloyd Ingraham. The recent work of this clever director has shown real genius for comedy. "What's s Your Husband Doing?" is a tran scription from the stage farce and the critics of New York, where the film has just been released, are enthusi- astic in their reviews. One of Ingraham's achievements in the pie ture is said to have been the elimina- tion of the risque flavor of the origi- nal with even more amusing results
