THE New York Evening World.
LOS ANGELES, July 25.-The de-
mand for specialized brains In the
creation--not the manufactured
motion pictures opens up a field OF
endeavor to competent journalists
which promises to have It's effect in
every metropolitan newspaper office
In the country before another year
has rolled around.
The fundamentals Of the right kind
of a newspaper article or editorial
are terseness, accuracy and oontln-
uity.
New York newspaper men are rap
idly entering the field of writing mo-
ton picture stories and scenarios for
the Hollywood Studios and are quite
in control of the technical work of
preparing scripts for actors and d.
rectors and writing the titles which
illustrate the stories as they are I'M
folded TO audiences on the screen.
Probably the most conspicuous sue
cess scored by New York happy eX-
lies in creative film work Is that OF
H. II. Van Loan, who was a reporter
on The Evening World not so very
long ago, dabbling in writing for the
movies as a side line until the NOV
les got him. Now they are coming
TO Van Loan and he writes his own
ticket for his services.
Van Loan has recently built
beautiful house in Glendale, noun
tain suburb. His car is always wait
ing. Just at present he is in New
York closing contrbcts which win
keep him busy out here for months.
A moving picture that doesn't make
good Is about the deadest thing In
the world. Almost any sort OF a pre-
tentious production costs at least
$4,000 nowadays, Persistent patrons
of the movies may say that It is Inn
possible to write a moving picture
that exhibitors won't buy, but the
record of complete failures is long
and narrowing. For that reason the
business OF producing pictures is
drifting exclusively into the hands Of
specialists who can forecast the flu
ture of a screen enterprise with some
degree of surety-although few pic
lures have been put out carrying as
surances of positive financial success.
Even such sure tre producer as
Charlie Chaplin anticipates with
dread the exhibition OF his next pic
ture, which will he the most am
bilious of his career. He says he has
already selected the mountain peak
from which he will leap II the public
doesn't accept his Offering.
Tom Geraghty, whose reportorial
footprints are still visible along
Park Row and around Herald Square,
is another prominent instance OF a
New York newspaper man who came
out here, grappled with the creative
end of the game and conquered It,
Geraghty Is more or less OF a free
lance, although the Lasky- Famous
Players Corporation Is taking most
Of his work at present.
Fred Bingham-or is II Fred?-
anyhow he was the managing editor
OF the Paris Herald for a number OF

Both actresses have been the great
est of their day. Both have played
Camille and the same roles in the
leading dramas. Both have loved and
> been loved as perhaps no other two
women by their numerous admirers.
The contrast lies in the fact that both

RED" was the startling advice Nine.
Bernhard gave through the columns
OF The World in 1909. when a man
feels that no Is bound to a woman the
union in most cases becomes irksome.
As long as both are free they continue
20 love, for the very uncertainty OF
retaining cherished possession makes
one guard 1t the more carefully"
And In 1916 in an interview for The
Evening World she said: IL was a
mother at seventeen and grand
mother at forty-two. 1 pity women
who wait till they are twenty-five to
become mothers. They deprive them
selves of hfe's greatest JOY. They are
old women before their daughters are
grown up"
Now, Bernhard has written a novel
entitled 'Iphe Little Idol" whose pub
hoahon will begin Sunday in the

one of the best-known newspaper
reporters in New York In recent
years was Bert lie Vino. Out here
he is known as Albert Shelby lie

forces. He lives with his charming
family in n home that would be a
show place in Larchmont. plays golf
fore he goes to his desk and parks
one of the snappiest cars in Holly
wood; all in three years and half.
Albert Shelby Is one of a class in
valuable to the moving picture In
dustry. He is a fighting pessimist,
What is a fighting pessimist?
Answer: A fighting pessimist Is a
writer who is persistently dissatisfied
with his own work and everybody
else's work. He is a free and con-
scientious critic and they have to
listen to him. When It comes TO the
final trial of film In the Metro
studio the responsible party asks:
what does lie Vino think of It
We'll" says, maybe, Percy Heath
who is a sort of Simon Legree In
the Metro scePario department, lie
Vino thinks 1t may CO."
Then, for Gods sake" shouts the
responsible party, "let It go. II must
be good"
But, take Vince Bryan. the we'll
known New York song writer, who
was born over on the west side next
door to Vince Treanor and was aa
much part of New York as Column
bus Circle is until ne succumbed to
the lure Of the movies, he Is a night
ing optimist. For a long time one
OF his selfimposed tasks was to start
Charlie Chaplin on a days work full
of good cheer and laughter.
The fighting pessimist of the
Chaplin outfit is Billy Reeves, who
will be remembered by hundreds OF
thousands of New York vaudeville
fans as the laughable stage souse
Reeves has created merriment the
world over by his portrayal OF a
gentleman in n high hat and bran
uigan persstently trying 20 breai
his neck. BY nature, Reeves is th'
soul OF gloom-and II Is he who
meets Chaplin first when Chaplin
reaches his studio in the morning.
