Don't Specialized" Advises
Bert Lytell, Film Star, Who
Practices His 'Preachings

requires, without causing a Slowing
ups-in his or her work.
II think that Is going to hold true
in all lines of industry. The success
full young man or woman of the future
is going 20 be the one who can handle
his own chosen work and then branch
out into other things as we'll. OF
course, in pictures, it is more neces-
sary. There are very few specialists
in my profession to-day, and they are
getting more scarce as time goes past.
THE producer to-day wants men and
women who can ride a bronco or look
we'll in full dress, and one must be
able to do those two things, and many
others just as much in contrast, if he
would please his company
He said he saw no reason why the
change from the legitimate stage to
motion pictures should cause any
depreciation in the effect of the work
of an actor, and declared that his two
years in the West Coast in pictures had
prepared him for much better work on
the legitimate stage on Broadway when
he chose to return to it.
He is in New York for the first time
in the two years, and will begin work
pictures in the New York studios of
the Metro company. He has been
starred recently in "Alias Jimmy Val
ontine" and other pictures, which
broke records in the number of persons
attracted throughout the country.
For many years before entering mo-
ton picture acting, Mr.. Lytell was a
member of stock companies in New
York and throughout the East, and it
was in this work that he first began to
adhere to the call of versatility When
he was engaged in pictures, he said, he
found his~tdeas all the more borne out,
Of the success of TIE future genera
guided by their ability to do many
different kinds of work.
Mr.. Lytell is confident that the re-
cent action of certain motion picture
companies for producing legitimate
stage productions in New York not
only will not be detriment to the
stage but will lift the general tone
of the spoken drama.
Motion pictures and the stage" he
says, "go hand in hand. naturally, and
there is no reason why there should
be friction between producers Of stage
plays and Of the motion picture plays"
Mr.. Lytell brings from California
the word that there are fewer and
fewer pictures being made wherein the
scenery and business" are faxed. He
told of the filming of part of his
next large picture that will be re-
leased late in the summer, in which,
during battle scene in the noun
tains of Southern California, eight men
were shot, none dangerously, and a
half dozen or more injured by being
trampled under horses hoofs and
struck by debris torn up by the ex-
ploding powders and blank shells.
a"The American audience is too in
telligent," he says, "to sit through long
pictures in which the backgrounds and
all of the properties are either painted
son scenery or built of tissue paper
We often go down into Mexico in order
to get real photographs of the widest
country, and trip of hundred to Two
hundred miles a day while making a

ends. Hope to become three or four
successful somebodies. This doesn't
mean that you should go haphazard
through life, doing a little work here
and little there, each of them poorly
but it means that if you would be hap
piest you will be forever in search of
new things to do, new ambitions to be
realized. Do everything we'll, but have
plenty of things to do.
Theatricals hold 50 many different
lines that might be followed by the

were good for but one kind of work.
This is because they fear that branch
ing out might cause them to lose their
grip upon their following.
"ln motion pictures" Mr. Lytell
says, zone has to be versatile. The
day was when one could specialize and
be successful. Of course, we have to
have few of them, but the great ma
jority of the successful actors on the
screen in the future are going to be
men and women who can turn from
tragedy to comedy, and vice versa, and
do any kind OF part the producer

everything about casting horoscopes.
For years she has been interested in it
and she has familiarized herself with
all the literature on The subject. As

SAID Miss Childers in telling of her
hobby, "and long before that the
Egyptians used to tell the future of

plies in all times have been interested
in it and the literature is fascinating,
Ever since was child I've been in

more buses added and the foun-
dation laid fora munieipally-ow
ed transportation system by bus,
one Of the first in the country.
City officials 90 so far as to
suggest that no more extensions
be made to the existing trolley
system, but motor bus lines be
routed into all outlying sections.
Establishment of the new bus
line was decided after a confer
ence with city officials IN an eff
fort to devise means Of afford
ing adequate transportation to
the 100000 inhabitants who have
augmented the 10000 shown by
the 1910 census.
For more than a year the Good.
year Company has operated
bus line serving 5000 families liv-
ing in its housing section, with
excellent results. The success of
this line has attracted attention
from every section of the country
and was the cause for the propo-
sed action by the city of Akron.
Administration officials point
out that motor bus lines can
easily tap rapidly growing sub
urbs without the expenditure of
large sums for franchises and
equipment as would be necessary
for trolley extensions. Suburban
development will not be DELAYED
by waiting for the traction com
pany to act.
The type of bus to be used in

PAINTS STREAK TO, HIS
MOVIE: TOWN AROUSED

PORT CHESTER, N. Y, July 10
This village was struck by two
streaks today. The first. streak of
white paint. three inches wide, was
laid the length of Main street, point
ing the way to a movie theater. The
second, a streak of wrath, came when
village business men and civic au-
thorities saw the first streak.
Henry Brunelle, owner of the movie
theater, was fined $50 for ordering
his employees to paint the first streak,
and village officials were ordered to
trial for permitting him to practice
his art on the main thoroughfare.
When business men attempted to
erase the paint they found it would
not come off. so Brunette was given
an additional sentence of removing
the paint in any manner short OF
, tearing up the street.

NEW YORK, July lo.--Jea1ousy was
the motive that drove Miss Lillian
Erath, twenty-five years ole a book

Blume was shot twice in the head.
He died an hour later in Bellevue

had been going out with girl by
the name OF Martha.
Miss Erath told this to Detectives
Donovan and Thomas when she re-
gained consciousness. 4 question was
asked her, but before she could an
swer It she lost consciousness again.
RELIGION ALSO ISSUE.
Tho shooting. the police believe.
was not only the result OF the girls
discovery that Blume was devoting
his attentions to another girl. but
also that he was of the Jewish faith
and could not marry her without
violating the TENTS of his religion.
The couple became acquainted. II was
learned. three months ago, and Blume
was known to the girl as "Arthnr
Barry"
Miss Erath left her place Of en-
ployment at noon and went TO
Blume's home. The police believe
that on her way there she bought the
revolver with which she did the
shooting. Neighbors said they sa"
the girl standing for long time In
front of the house, and when biume
came home from a department. store
where he was employed as salesman
she accosted him.
The two held a lengthy conference
on the sidewalk. after which they
went into the house. Blumes parents
are summering at Walker Lake, Pa,

ment. They had not been inside more
than ten minutes when the shooting
occurred.
