 The worlds meanest man is one who would:

 Put a beer check in the collection box for more than thirty consecutive Sundays.
 Try to persuade an Irishman that his name is of Scotch origin.

 Resort Duplicated For Hope HamptOn'S "A Modern Salome"

In Hope Hampton's "A Modern Salome'' motion picture audiences will have the opportunity of witness ing the latest and most extravagant style of Parisian restaurant, for the director of the production. Leonce Ferret, has had reproduced for a setting a fac-simile of Harry Pilcer's dance resort soon to oe built in the French capital Harry Pilcer, it will be remembered, was dancing partner for Gaby Deslys when she came to this country; and he later played en- agreements with her in Paris.

stRip Van Wrinkle" Now Appearing in Silent
 Drama Productions

There is no more skilled charac- ter actor on the screen than Thomas Jefferson, who plays the role of the convict father in Mary MacLaren's latest production. The Forged Bride based on the story by J. G. Hawks. The Sins of the Father
 The fact that Thomas Jefferson is the son of the late Joseph Jefferson, the most beloved actor on the Amer ican stage stamps him at once as be- longing to the aristocracy of the act ing profession.
 Mir. Jefferson was born in New York and was sent to France by his father to be educated. His choice of a. career was left open to him, but be- fore returning to America he obtain ed an enga cement in a stock company at the Princess Theatre, in London, and thus began a stage career. On his arrival in New York, his father decided to let the young man have the best possible training in his choice of vocation, so he obtained for him a position in Lester Wallack' s company the most important dra- matic organization in New York at the time. Later MT. Jefferson played for several years with the late Angus tin Daily, after which he appeared with his father in Rip Van Winkle'' At the death of the elder Jefferson the son succeeded to his fathers fla vorite role, playing Rip The Cric- ket on the IIearth,' Lend Me Five Shillings'' and other dramatic clas- sics.
 For. the past four years MT. Jeffer- son has been seen in a number of film productions, and he appears to especial advantage in the newest Uni Versal photodrama.

EMPIRE.

Scandal mongers make full use of an innocent and thoughtless act of Amelia ThoFndike when she walked from her rooms into the apartment of Captain Kenneth Laird. An inspired article in "The Prattler" sets society's tongues to wagging and before she knows it, her enga cement is broken and she is threatened with disgrace.
 This is the situation that confronts Katherine Macdonald as Amelie Thorndike in '"The Beauty Market her latest production for First Ma tiona1 Exhibitors Circuit and which will be shown at the Empire theatre today.
 Declared by critics to be. the most beautiful woman in the world. Miss MacDonald's part in this production affords her the opportunity of her screen career for a joint display of her remarkable beauty and histronic ability.
 Driving home a. lesson that society sham and -four flushing must be ex- plated in the end by paying. for every thing gained, ''The eBauty Market promises to be one of the seasons most inviting attractions.

Demands Realism
 In Motion Pictures

Tod Browning is said to be the costliest moving picture director in the business. It is not because of the high salary he demands. His salary demands are modest. It is because of the lavish way he spends money in filming the pictures he directs.
 The sets he has built for his films must be exact replicas of the places he wants to represent This often means that actual building materials decorations and fittings have to be used regardless of their cost.
 IIe- has a constant battle with pro- ducing companies over the cost of the pictures he directs He was never known to keep within the estimated cost of a picture. More often, he doubles or triples it.
 He recently produced "The Beauti- full Beggar" for the Universal. This picture is based on H. H. Van Loans story, '1The Virgin of Stan1boul'' It is one of Priscilla Deans starring ve- hicles. It was thought the picture might cost in the neighborhood of $1Oo.000. Before Browning got through he had run the price up to several hundred thousand dollars.
 He used forty-six different sets in the picture Among them were such costly replicas as the Mosque of St. Sophia, and other noted edifices in Constantinople.
 eff you want me to make a real picture of this, let me alone. If you won't want me to make it like it should be, get someone else to do it, ,'' was his only answer to the cries of "extrava gance'' hurled at him from all sides. He had his way in the end. He usually does.

Big Sennett Comedy Knocks Elm Off
 Seats in England

Having cheered the United States and Canada with it's message of hilar- ious satire, Yankee Doodle in Ser lin" is now abroad in England, where, under the appropriately altered title. Tommy Atkins in Berlin it seems to be tickling the ribs of British hu- nor as effectively as it tickied Uncle Sam. Mack Sennett, its producer, points to Yankee Doodle in Berlin as evidence that real (and sometimes reeD humor is as universal and cos mopolitan as "the touch of nature' that makes the whole world kin. ' Sennett's success with this produc- tion and with Mickey which is still a potent drawing attraction in Amer cia has resulted in that producers de cision to dedicate a portion of his en- ergies, during the coming year, to the presentation of other big works in filmdon, the first being Down on the Farm" soon to be released. It is a five reel uper-production blending hilarity and thrills, travesty and au- thentic drama.
 Louise Fazenda will be seen in the lea ding feminine role though the part assigned to Marie Provost is scarcely less important In her characteriza- tion of ca rustic, corn-fed beauty Miss Fazenda has done some of the most effective comedy of her career. Jimmy FinIayson excels as the will lain in the case, he playing a role that mingles the meanness of a viii { lage. Shylock with the wickedness of a suburban Don Juan. The entire equipment of Mack Sennett's big stu dios. his farm and his menagerie is employed in this great production.

Society Girls Appear
 In Moving Pictures

More than a score of attractive young students from a leading Cali fornia art school were summoned to Universal City a few days ago to lend atmosphere to the production of Burnt Wings" a story of artist and his model. now being produced at the worlds film capital with Frank Mayo and Josephine Hill in the fea- tured roles and with Christy Cabahne as director.
 Not one of these girls ever before had appeared on a stage or in front of motion picture camera. Several of them are prominent in the social circles of Southern California. How ever, they all knew how to sketch. how to use brush and palette and how to wear artists smock- And as this was a! they were required to do in the art class scene, they per formed their task admirably.
 Burnt Wings is from the pen of Dayard Neiller, author of The Thir- teenth Chair and Within the Law and was formerly used by his wife, Margaret Wycheriy, as a starring ve- hicle on the stage, under the name, "The Primrose Path

Leatrice Joy Poses For Statue Made By
 Famous Sculptor

A life-sized statue called Blind Youth is used in the National Pic tEres production of that name and Carle Rcmaneli, one of the most distinguished sculptors of the West was engaged to make the model. It fell to the lot of Leatrice Joy, who has been in other National produc- tions to pose for tl1iss tatue. Besides working in the studio during the day she was required to preserve perfect tranquility during each sitting for several evenings. This was made all the more hard by the fact that at times she was blindfolded and stood with her arms outretched.

Truex POrtrays a
 MOvie-Struck Fan

Clever little Ernest Truex portrays a. movie-struck fan in "Too Good To Be True, his second two-reel comedy made under the management of Amedee J. Van Beuren. The multi tudes of film fans will rejoice at this opportunity to see how they appear ito others.
 Typical scenes which show the ardor of movie-fan Ernie for a fam ous screen vampire, were staged in a real picture theatre. Little Ernie sur prises the audience by producing a pair of opera glasses to provide his own close-ups of the thrilling scenes on the screen. The walls of our hero's room at home are literally papered with pictures of his film favorite Vera Vernon. M The scenes showing Ernie's bashful endeavors to become acquainted with the vampire when she visits the coun- try club are sure to provoke roars of laughter wherever this fun-f1Im is shown.
