Constance Talmadge in ''The
Perfect Woman"
Frank Mcintyre Is
Happy Because He's
Playing in a Farce

One of the happiest men in New
York to-day weighs more than two
hundred pounds, doesn't like hot
weather and admits that the Eighteenth
Amendment brings down no chortles of
glee from him. And yet he is supreme
ly happy.
To identify him bit more explicitly,
meet Frank Mcintyre, chief funmaker
in Seeing Things" by Margaret Mayo
house. If you would know Mr.. McIn-
tyre even more ultimately know then
that he was THE in "The Travelling
Salesman" and off and on since then
he has been hailed as one of the fun
niest men on the stage
As for his present state of cherubic
glee, know you, first, that no man likes
doing what he doesn't like, even for
money. And for some years Mr.. Nc
lnty1e has been in just that situation.
Know you, moreover, or at least know
you who know men at all, that no man
is quite so happy as when he is doing
the one thing in the world he likes
best doing. And there you have the
cause of Mr.. McIntyre's glee.
In Seeing Things" Mr.. Mcintyre,
who insists that he is a natural born
"tom1ooler," has opportunity to be a
tomiooler to his hearts content. 1t is,
in the parlance of the theater, a "fat'
part-that of Mr.. McIntyre-and he
surely makes the most of it.
But there is something more to the
matter than just that Playing in a
farce is the kind of playing for which
Frank Mcintyre firmly believes he was
especially designed, and here, for the
nrst time IN years, he finds himself
playing in a farce. No wonder he's
happy.
After "The Travelling Salesman" had
raised Mr.. Mcintyre to a high place
IN the ranks of the theater workers. a
friend came along with a favor to ask.
lie mad just written a musical play.
1t was going to be produced He needed
a, man like Mac for the leading part.
Wouldn't Mac, just as favor to him.
play the part? 1t was only for the trv-
out OF the piece on the road that he
wanted his friends help. That's what
ne said, any way And so Mr. MCINTYRE
1ell. He said he'd go. He did and. woe
unto him, scored a tremendous hit in
the part. So big was the success he
achleved that when he delicately limited
that he would have to leave, his friend
Wept. He stormed. He raved. He
accused Mac Of running him. And so
Mac stayed on. The piece came into
New York, scored a real success. and
the hit of it was Mcintyre.
From that moment he was doomed.
Managers would hear of nothing but
musical plays for him. Try as he would
he couldn't escape them. He tried to
talk about doing farce. The managers
only laughed at him. And how he de-
tested these musical piecesl
80 years passed and it began to look
as though farce had seen the last of
the chubby Mr.. Mcintyre. Then came
the chance to play "Seeing Things"
Mr.. Mcintyre insists he broke all
records atfixing his name to his con-
tract
And SO he's happy. And so you'll be
when you see him.

of Happy
Ending Destroys the
Element of Suspense

DO American audiences demand happy
endings in all stage productions E?
Theatrical tradition has it that no play
should end otherwise. However, Clar-
ence Badger, director for the Goldwyn
Film Corporation, does not agree, and
he sees change in America such as
long ago took place abroad
"The success of Or Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde on the screen has been an eye
opener to the conservatives" he saws
"The name of John Barrymore gave the
exhibitors courage to offer Stevens1n's
story to their audiences, and to their
surprise they found it broke records. In
New York two Broadway theaters set
new marks, one of them after the othe.
had run the film two weeks,
There is no greater drag on the
drama than the happy ending tradi-
ton. How often we hear people say
of q play: old stuff. Why don't they
give US something besides the same
plot all the while?'
"Ill tell you. With the ending of our
pictures and plays foreknown to tns
audience, the invariable 'clinch of the
lovers and brushing away of all diff
culties in a beatifc scene, we destroy
the element Of suspense. We cut our
cloth to pretty much the same pattern
without regard to how impossible, un
natural and puerile the twist in the
plot may be to bring it about. To give
them kisses, sunshine and happiness
invariably is often to affront their
sense of logic.
Suppose, to speak broadly, half our
romances had happy endings and half
the other kind. each play being carried
out to logical conclusion as ou.
audiences know life. Given good act
ing, plot construction and direction,
believe our audiences would find a new
interest in their entertainments. Half
the interest is thrown away because
audiences know how the story is going
to end, This gives them the sense
that what takes place in the course Of
the tale is a fabricated plot, built for
the theater, and correspondingly with
out illusion.
II can tell you that producers and
directors would like to get away from
the old stuff Let the exhibitors have
the courage, and the people will, be-
ieve, reward them with increased
favor"

was required to dance--nothing more
But the screen has developed her as an
emotional actress, and in "On With the
Dance "The Right to Love" and Idols
of Clay" she has real dramatic oppor-
tunity
Dorothy Dalton had little stage ex-
periencs before her appearance on the
screen. Yet when "Aphrodite" WAS
produced and she was chosen for the
leading role she showed herself
thoroughly capable as an actress, and
quantity, was much praised. She will
probably 60 on with a combined stage
and screen career. Billie Burke has
an enthusiastic following both on the
stage and screen for light productions.
In her next picture, THE Frisky Mrs.
Johnson" from Clyde Fitchs play,
there is much emotional work to be
done. Wallace Reid, son of the late
Hal Reid, writer of melodramas, is
another actor who has fuctuated be-
tween the stage and screen. He played
in his fathers companies, then went
into pictures. He is remembered for
his acting in Carmen with Geraldine
Farrar. Last winter he went back to
the speaking stage in Northern Cali
fornia, and he may possibly return TO
starring now in "Why Change Your
Wife ?" is anxious for an opportunity
on the speaking stage.
Out of host Of famous names or
actors and actresses who have had
careers on the stage have gone into
motion pictures and have stayed there

material and standing of the stage
stars and persons widely known for

program is not to be outdone by any
motion picture project as yet conceived.
The demand of the public for ar
tistic execution of the great works
which are to be pictured and also for
men and women of recognized ability
is responsible for the great step upward
in the general production Of films in
this concern, and the works of such
men as Augustus Thomas, Sir James
NJ Barrie and Henry Arthur Jones
will be used.
Of the original stories to be sent
out under the Paramount banner, it is
announced, chief interest, perhaps, cen
ters in Cecil B. De Miles "Something

and which will reach the screen in
October. "Idols of Clay" another
+ original story, which George Fitz-
maurice is filming at present, is ex-
pected to attract wide attention. Hec-

Exchange OF Players Between
Stage and Screen Mutually
Improves the Dramatic Arts

Hardly is there a play on Broadway
that has not in its cast some member,
or even numbers, who is busily en-
gagged in appearing before the motion
picture camera during the daylight
hours. The number of screen favorites
now before the public eye who have
never been on the speaking stage can
be counted on the fingers Of one hand
So 1t IS plain that the motion picture
has taken much from the older art.
First, it has taken and is taking It's
actors. Then it has saken its. technique
end adapted it to meet it's own peculiar
needs. And now 1t is taking its plays.
Picture executives have come to realize
that it is to their advantage to have
great motion picture studios in the
East as well as in the West, SO that
while the theatrical season is on in
New York City work can be done by
the actors who are appearing on the
Broadway stages. Recently Fox COM
p.eted an enormous studio in Mankat
tam Famous Players is constructing
one on Long Island.
Actors who have been away from the
speaking stage for any length of time,
making picture after picture, long for
the audience thrill which they do not
get In the studio, where the only audi
ence consists of extra people, directors,
camera men, property men, and various
others. SO they come back to the stage
refreshed ard ready to do even better
work than they did when they left it,
1t works both ways Continuous stage
work, especially in parts of one sort.
may tend to dull the actors art. A
sojourn in the pictures is almost in
the nature of a rest cure.
There is no doubt that screenwork
develops restraint in acting and also
enhances ones ability to express emo
ton by gestures and facial expressions.
When Elsie Ferguson returned to the
stage recently in Sacred and Profane
Love" after a long absence in screen
work. this gain was particularly notice
able in her work.
What have the three Barrymores
standard of the screen. They brought
their tremendous knowledge of acting
30 it and adapted it to the needs of the
newer medium. Just as in his career
on the stage. John Barrymore started
his screenwork in light comedy, grad
ually working into serious, dramatic
roles, his last being CDR. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" In this picture, made while
he was acting in "The Jest" and re-
hearsing fer "Richard ILL.," he did q
vast amount of work, suggesting things
to the scenario writer, to the director
and to others concerned in the COM
pletion of the picture. The result was
one of the finest motion picture pro
ductions that has been seen. What has
the screen done for the Barrymores? :?
That is an interrogatory that may be
propounded more aptly in the future.

on the stage as q dancer, went into
