A North Carolina Druggist Solves
the Problem

Thanks to Lunsford Richardson, .
druggist in Greensboro, N. c., this
problem has been solved, and Southern
mothers have been given a method of
treating cold troubles externally. Mr..
Richardson discovered a salve that
would vapOrize by the body heat when
applied over throat and chest. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, car
ried the medication through the air pas
sages to the lungs, at the same time the
salve was absorbed thru and stimulated
the skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled
to relieve the trouble. This prepara-
ton Mr.. Richardson called Vick's
VapoRub.

just the old fashioned, time tested
remedies Menthol, Camphor, Thymol.

PLAY TO Be FIRST
All Paramount Players to Form
One Big Company.
Emphasis Now on Story Not ON
the Star.
BY WAYNE wINGART.

New achievements in motion pic
ture making are expected from the
blending Of the entire Paramount pro-
ductfon forces and all the players into
one big stock company for the pro-
duction of photoplays.
Jesse L. Lasky. vice president in
charge of production, has just installed
the new system at the eastern studios
OF Famous Players-Lasky and is now
back in Hollywood to inaugurate the
plan at the California studios.
Several of the present Paramount
stars will appear together in future
productions. and emphasis will be
given the drama rather than the in
dividual player. according to Mr.
Lasky's announcement.
How the new plan will work out is
best understood by citing an example.
Cecil =. DeMille, director general Of
Paramount. had in mind the produce
tion of Arthur Schnitzlers "Anatol."
When Mr.. Lasky told him to 90 the
limit with all the resources of the Fa-
nous Players-Lasl1y corporation, Mr..
DeMiIle selected the following cast;
Wallace Reid, Elliott Dexter, Gloria
Swanson, Bebe Daniels, Wanda Haw-
ley. Agnes Ayers, Theodore Roberts
and Theodore Kosloff. In preparing
"Anatol" for the screen Mr. DeMille
said he would like to have the CO.
operation of Jeanne Macpherson. Avery
Hopwood, Beulah Marie Dix, and Ell
photoplay was ever launched with
such an array of artists.
Mr.. Lasl5y is enthusiastic about pro-
duction prospects under the enlarged
scope.
THE big play Will come first" he
said. THE greatest stars viii be given
an opportunity to appear in the ex-
cellent roles that are always a part OF
fine drama. In the near future it is
probable that motion picture audiences
will see three or more Paramount
stars such as Elsie Ferguson, Ethel
Clayton, Wallace Reid, Dorothy Dali
ton. Mae Murray, Thomas Meishan
and Billie Burke playing together in
big productions.
The plays that have been the
greatest successes recently have been
those with a big, popular theme that
have been well cast and directed. Our
thought is to make productions that
will be tremendously popular with the
public and therefore big successes for
STIR author and director.
Toward making better pictures we
shall enlist the services of Edward
KnobloclS. Sir Gilbert Parker Elinor
Glyn, Avery Fopwood, Penrhyn Stan
Laws and otror new arrivals at our
studios in addition to the seasoned d.
rectors and capable players. If there
have been flaws in previous pictures
we are goine to eliminate them in this
new fusiEg of talent toward the goal of
the perfect photoplay."

Both pictures are written around new

a climax that is out of the ordinary.
THE Jailbird" gives Douglas Mac
Lean every opportunity to improve his
already excellent reputation. In it he
plays the part of Shakespeare

from Jail attempts to swindle the in
habitants of small town by promot-
ing an oil boom and disposing of a
large amount of worthless stock.

of the week, will be shown a reel OF

THEATORIALLY
Things That Would Never BE Said
Regarding Movies, ct cetera. in
Any Other Way.
BY kI.

Every girl who knows she Is good
looking has dreams of going on the
stage or into the movies. Every man
or woman who thinks he or she can
write. has in mind or in script form a
play or a movie scenario. Wherever
there is a school of any size there is a
dramatic club. Whenever any organ
ization desires to raise money for
charity or any other purpose, the first
plan presented and the one ultimately
adopted is the giving Of a play of some
kind. In other words the reason
Americans are theater and movie mad
is because every individual American
believes himself or herself qualified to
write or act for the stage or screen.
And that is the rea son, the real rea-
son, for the home talent plays. AS
money makers they are almost certain
to score. Every person in the cast,
even if he only walks on and off, has
a score of friends who want to see
how he does it and tickets are not
hard to dispose of. AS artistic sue
cesses, however, home talent plays are
in but very few instances complete
failures.
There are almost no groups of anna
tours in the theatrical game, who con-
t1nue together or under the same di-
rection more than one season. There
are hosts of amateurs who take part in
one performance and then quit. In
other words, practically all amateurs
are decidedly amateurs, dabblers and
never even become students of dra-
matte art.
Even with all this, there is posi-
bility of home talent plays being
staged more successfully than the most
of them are. The whole secret being
in the selection of the performance.
There are hosts of little comedies of
a simple nature as to setting, acting
and business" in which practically
any amateur could feel at home. But
the amateur is always too ambitious.
He wants to stage some finished pro-
duction. He wants to see if he cannot
outshine the stars of the professional
stage. 1t cannot be done.
A professional in any line can al
ways beat an amateur. That is an
established rule, no exceptions to it
having yet been found. But one can
never convince an amateur of the
above rule. He will always try to do
things beyond his limited capacities
Home talent plays will always be
artistic failures. They will always be
money makers. too, and for the latter
reason if for no other. every theatrical
season will have it's pathetic bur-
llesques.
