What I Think About Myself
BY LILA LEE

In a way I suppose my experience in motion pictures has been unique, for have virtually grown ID in pie lures, though the process aas taken only a matter of a couple of years. You see, l was just a chiH when I went to work at the Lasky studio and it seems that I've crossed the stream and become a young lady in the in terim-
 Not that I believe I feel so much older but somehow I seen to have gained a stronger hold upon my work and IO have learned a tremendOuS lot since the first day I came on the lot! That is inevitable, suppose, for these are impressioRaible years, and one does see and hear so much in q studio that tends to educate and develop one
 Really, a studio is wonderful place! I wish I could take all my friends who have been So kind to me around the big plant with me and tell them what all the things are for: the queer settings. the strange ma chinery, the big lights. the odd-look- ing cameras on powerful legs-they always remind me of those Martian creatures that H. G. Wells wrote about in '"The War Of the Worlds
 And I could initiate them into the art of makeup, the mystery of acting for the screen, which is so very diff ferent from that of the stage. You know, 1 had a lot of vaudeville ex- perience when I was little - eight years, in fact as 'tCuddles.' But it is not the same as appearing before the camera.
 Oh, I love picture work! There is a constant variety and change and everyone has been so sweet to me that I cannot help being happy. And every day is added education in the art of screen acting-Pm learning all the time; that's why I say I'm grow ing up with pictures

Bill Hart Wants Fair Play!

If you saw somebody appropriating something belonging to a friend of yours. would you let him get away with it?
 Not if you react the way Bill EIart's friends do.
 William S. Hart probably has more friends than any man appearing on the screen today. Scattered around the world, they are continually on the lookout for those who are not play ing fair with Bill, for Bill has ai- ways been an exponent of fair play.
 And it isn't fair play, MT. Hart in sists, to take an old film, dress it up with a new title, patch on parts of discarded two-reelers, and show the resulting bod dgeDOdge to the public as a William s. Hart production
 Over in England lives Q Hart fan named Eric Morley, who wrota to his hero as follows:
 Tonight I went to see STrhe Bad Man. as advertised in the posters It was Q twO-reel picture and rather anclenT about a mllliner whose uncle left her a salOoE out west. When the last part Of the picture was shown on the screen it said William s. Hart in The Marked Deck'' In the cor ner of the subtitle was w. H. P. O., which looks like the w. Hart Produc- ton Co. you mentioned in your arti- cle in the Boys Cinema. Of course it may be all right, you will know best, but I thought I would let you know"
 MT. Hart was very glad to learn about conditions in England, and he wrote and told AIr. Morley of his ap- preciation.
 Two old VEctures one called "The Bad Man of Santa Inez'' and the oth- CT MT. Silent Haskins," had been combined and shown under fraudulent titles.
 This is not a condition confined to England. In the United States, usu- Far pictures are being shown in violation of orders of the Federal Trade com mission fOrbidding unfair competf- |
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-20

Altered titles sometimes deceive pfaygoerS into paying to see old Hart pictures maSqUerading as new pro- auctions. All of MT. Hart's pictures made within the last five years bear the Paramount or Aircraft trad enarl<, so that discovering the obsolete early pictures is not difficult.
 Mir. Hart was instrumental in ob- Iaining the Federal Trade commits sion'S order which makes this prac- tice unlawful, and has prosecuted such violations as have come to his attention. But he looks to his friends scattered throughout the world to tell him about the film pirates who are not playing fair with him
 Hart fans will be doing a favor to the greatest deIineator of western types by writing about such piracy to William. s. Hart, 5544 1-2 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Cal

TO THE
 LOVELORN
Tell Him the Truth,
By BEATRICE TARTAN.

Tell Him the Truth.
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 l am 19 years old and have been keeping company ten months with young man six years my senior. We both cared for one another from the start, Now this young man is quite settled and also very serious and only wishes q girl he chooses to be the same. When We first met I lied to him, telling him was 21 years old, which he believed. Now my birthday is close at hand and fear he will soon find out the truth, if he hasn't al ready, as am beginning to feel wor- ried over his actions; yet I cannot give in and explain. When we first met he always spoke of marrying. Christmas he gave me an engagement ring, but never mentioned any inten- tions of marrying. Don't you think I should find out his real intentions as long as I wear his ring? I wouldn't like to waste any more of his time than mine and yet I am at loss as to how I could start the subject without him thinking I was anxious to marry, would like to know if he changed his mind since he gave me the ring.
 ANXIOUS.
 Tell him the truth at once. What kind of marriage do you think yours will be if you haven't the courage to riers between you are of your own building. Start over on a basis of fair play and honesty. Why should man give a girl an engagement ring her? But if you're pretty and self ceutered and untruthful and absorbed in your own pride, how can you hope to hold any mans love?

Sees End of Film Spectacle

Victor Schertzinger, the GOldwyn director who supervised Tom AoOre's latest comedy. Made In Heaven," made an interesting prophecy in Q recent statement concerning the spec facle picture
 s"rhe time has come" declared MT. Schertzinger. when the public's con- stant repudiatiOn of the spectacle picture must be needed by the pro ducer and the producer-director.
 The spectacle is much like the effort of a new writer. With an eH- renSiye command of words at his fiugertips, the temptation is to use them all The result is . fiorid ar ticle or story which loses it's effective ness by is effusiveneSS. Likewise with the average director. Realizing new creative horizons unfOlded by the technical experts of the picture in duStry, the directors temptation is to cram them into one mighty epic The result is the spectacle, the lesson pr the point of which is lost in the c1uk7t tered mag'nihcence with which the director has surrounded il.
 But today the tide is turning Like the finished writer who touches his ideas in the simplest phrases, the pro ducer is getting back to a sane form of picture. First of all, he deter mines what he wants to say and then says it-"
