TONY KNOWS
 WHEN IT'S TIME
 TO QUIT WORK
Tom MiX's Horse Must Be
 long to a Union

Tom Mix's famous horse Tony which has "supported'' the comboy star faithfully in many an exciting western photodrama, knows when it is time to quit work and go home. When Mix has ridden Tony all day in a picture the horse dislikes stick ing around waiting for his master to finish chats with directors or actors, and insists on being taken back to his stable.
 While Mix was making "The Road Demon" his latest picture, which was tentatively named "Happy-Go-Lucky'' he had to ride Tony up and down a flight of stairs in a set representing a hotel. Tony became very weary of that sort of business, and was ready to go home when the camera stop ped grinding.
 Instead of leading Tony straight to his comfortable stable. Mix stop ped to chat with Louise Lovely. Tony impatiently began to nudge Mix on the shoulder.
 Behave, Tonyr' admonished his owner. The star tried to continue the conversation, but Tony would have none of it and proceeded to push Mix toward the door, Tom finally gave up his chat in depair and led the horse toward the stable.

Rare In Motion Pictures,
 S0ys Welt KnO1un Director

In a recent discussion with pro- ducers of the drama for the stage, Hugh Ford, veteran director, declared there are fewer anachronisms in the silent drama than in the spoken ver sions.
 Faults on the stage frequently go undetecaed by the same audiences which would give vent to a storm of protest if the errors appeared before them in motion pictures" he said.
 ''The reason for this seems ob- vious to me-" he continued. "Per- sons who make up a. movie audience only the one sense-that of sight, and because this sense of sight is unhampered by the employment of the other senses brought into play by audiences of the spoken drama, keener appreciation and concentra- ton results.
 Then each person witnessing a screen performance takes his trade into the theater with him. He may do this unconscio sly, but he does it. nevertheless. The architect con- centrates on the construction of the scenery, the dressmaker and milliner on costumes, lawyers on court scenes, physicians and surgeons on hospital and operation scenes and so no. un- til nearly every line of human en- deavor is catalogued. Even the porch climber may taken offense at the man in which the burglar makes his entrance in the picture.
 t.In every audience there are those who have visited foreign countries and if European scene is incor- rectly staged these are not slow to

reveal their disp1easure
 "For these reasons we are com stantly on tEe lookout for anachron- ism and fault of every kind and that is why experts give us advice when ever anything that demands tech nical ad--ice is to be produced by Paramount.
 Talbot Mundy, traveller familiar with Australia, was at hand when we did the bush scenes in ':The Price of Possession" recently, and the Village of Thrums built on Long Is- land for Sentimental Tommy was erected under the direction of men who knew their Scotland. When Thomas Meighan was doing the pris- on scene for ''The Quarry a Bertil- Ion expert from the New York police department came to the studio to supervise the scenes.
 I've can't do anything by guess work, because we cannot hope to get away with the slightest offense against realism. However" he con- cluded, there are certain stage tra- dition which I suppose will always prev ail One of these is that an army chaI ging must run at Oreakneck speed toward the enemy. I remember film ing some scenes of a battle at Camp Meade while the war was on. The maneuver was directed by army of ficers and only troops in government service participated. They walked be- hind their barrage to the enemy trenches, but when the picture ap- peared there were hundreds of com plaints that the battle scenes were sufficiently realistic"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-01-07

Can a picture be funny and thrilling at the same time? Nine people out of every ten will reply mo" and in the majority of cases they are right for it is the most difficult task in the making of motion pictures to inject a thrill in a purely comedy story-par- tiCularly is this true when that com edy is a broad travesty on some seri- ouS subject.
 But in Married Iife," the new Mack Sennett five-reel super comedy now playing at the Plaza, this master of m-rth making has attained the ai- most impossible. In this purely far CCal offering he has injected one thrill after another and to make this feat Goubly marvellous, the thrills and comedy are so closely intertwined that the ShiverS up the spine are inn mediately dispelled by the laugh that follows.
 Ben Turpin, he of the oontTar " eyes-leads the Sennett fun makers in the intermingling of laughs and thrills. As Rodney St. Clair, the dash ing hero, he first turns the trick in one of the most realistic football scTimmageS the screen has prod uced in d long time. This performance he repeats later in the hospital. where he is inflated with gas and floats out of tho window and still later when he and Jimmy Finlayson battle on t,lt wings of an aeroplane many thousand Iaet above the surface of the earth Then to cap the climax he gives tho auditor the supreme laugh thrill O the evening at the worry tail end of tht story.

It is a whirly girly comedy revue with music Nat Chick" Haines, the principal comedian, was going strong CT at the finish of the act than at the start, and this was going some as he had the audience in mysteries all the way through. The other principals were all capable of producing great many laughs which they did, and the coop of Broadway broilers which they carry had many a wife watching their husbands.
 Wayne Marshall and Candy pre- sented a novelty of the varieties which surprised everyone. They have some thing ne win this line which it would be a shame to spoil for those who are to witness the performance.

STAR GIVES RECIPE
 FOR REDUCING

Here's a new recipe for reducing Edna Murphy's own.
 The dainty little leading woman, who appeared opposite George Walsh. the Fox star. in Dynamite Allen" and now is playing in the new Fox sarial, "Fantomas." says it is the sim piezst thing in the world-in short. all one has to do to lose a few pounds is to becomt the heroine of a serial.
 Since the taking of the first scene of "Fantomas.'' Miss Murphy has lost five pounds, and the pounds are still going. Swimming. in zero weather, climbing up the sides of houses, div ing off fifty-foot heights, riding on runaway horSes-are all in q days work so far as serial players are con- cerned. and all are excellent reducing exercises. If one hasn't the chance to become leading lady in a serial one might try them in ones owr backyard.
