LOUISE CLAUM NOW ON
CREST OF PUBLIC FAVOR
Noted Screen Actress Work In
Sahara '~Lone VOLTS Daugh-
ter" Sex" Wins Approval.

Millions OF motion picture fans
throughout the country are now wit
Messing what might be termed the
Louise 'Glaum phenomenon" IL the
expression did not sound so compll-
Gated. Screen stars have their orbits
or paths like the sun and moon and
stars and most of them merely swing
across the horizon in these paths
shining palely attaching but faint
popularity in their courses.
Louise Glaum In a twelve month
has attained full power as a star un-
der the fine name and imprint OF J.
Parker Read, jr., and in this time
there has accrued to her all of the
popularity and public proofs thereof
that a public favorite wins through
hen efforts and her personality.
Wins by Public Favor.
Miss Glaum has been made directly
by public approval and this approval
rests on the solid bases of powerful
plays beautifully produced by Mr..
Read and fundamental honesty and
genuineness in her acting before the
camera.
A most careful census of the past
twSve months will reveal that no
other feminine star of the screen has
advanced a whit in public liking:
that no feminine star has moved for
ward. Picture fan approval and lik-
ing are singularly intense. Fan judg-
ments as to players are often slow
and deliberate affairs. For two years
or longer these fans meditated as to
how much they should like Louise
Glaum. Most OF them liked her. but
an element showed disapproval of her
plays under former management.
They showed a balanced judgment in
their sppraisals and hlled the fan
magazines with comments as to the
kind of plays in which Miss Glaum
should be cast.
Trio of Mastcrpietures.
Not one act on the part Of the pub
lie was overlooked either by Miss
Glaum or J. Parker Read, jr: All the
while Mr.. Read was assembling q
technical and dircctorial organization
and all the while he personally was
buried in plays and stories with
which he planned to meet the screen
public's wishes. Suddenly Miss Glaum
emerged in Sahara" written by G.
Gardner Sullivan, and distributed by
w. w. Hodkinson Corporation. "Sa-
hara" was a nine-months sensation
in motion picture circles and remains
today one of the great sellers of the
screen world. Following this came
THE Lone VOLTS Daughter" from
the famous novel by Louis Joseph
Vance and success came to star and
production with the rush and fury OF
a cloudburst. And, after proper fn-
terval of weeks, came Louise Glaum's
greatest Of all stories and produc-
tions, Sex" at Crandalrs Metropoli-

SHIRLEY MASON HAS
BOY ROLE IN new film

While Maurice Tourneur was Sc
lecting the cast for his new Para
mount Aircraft production. Treasure
Island" which will be shown at
Moore's Garden Theater all week
starting tomorrow; he searched far
and wide for a boy actor to play the
role of young Jim Hawkins. hero Of
the Stevenson classic. He interview
ed several youthful aspirants. but
somehow none OF them seemed to fit
Mr.. Tourneur's conception OF Jim.
Suddenly the thought flashed through
his mind that a girl could probably
lend more charm and piquancy to the
part than any boy could hope to at
tain. He at once hit upon Shirley
Mason as the ideal type, and he sent
for her.
Miss Mason was enthusiastic at
once. 1t developed that Treasure
Island" was her favorite novel and
