HAROLD ]. BINNEY, NOTED d.
RECTOR, WANTS TO MEET :.
MOSCOW FILM TALENT

How many times have you, while
watching moving picture, thought
that you could easily do the stars
part if you had the chance? Many
times to be sure, we have all felt
that way, and now you have the
chance, so get ready and read the di-
rections and act at once.
Most every man, woman and child
is interested in the movies and the
people who produce them. Every
thing new in the movie world attracts
instant attention and thousands upon
thousands of people have ambitions to
play parts in the great and fascinat-
ing work of entertaining the multi
tudes through the means of the "sil-
yer SCREEN"
1t is to satisfy a percentage of this
latter class that the Star Mirror has
induced a noted moving picture pro-
ducer and director to come to Mos
COW and give the ambitious one here
a chance to try out their talents.
This man is so we'll known that it
is only necessary to mention him
briefly.
He is Harold j. Binney
He was star for years-a big,
ltdRPy, Cc1lCllIcu dCCOl WIN lldS OdhClI
up the work of testing out the "uncut
diamonds" and polishing the best ones
into real movie artists. He made his
mark as an actor as far back as 1908
and for some years past has been
creating an enviable record as pro-
ducer and director. For six years he
was identified with the famous Mack
Sennett both as an actor and as a di-
rector. He directed the greater part
of all of Ford Sterling's work, also
Mabel Normand, Eddie Foy, Raymond
Fatty Arbuckle, Harold
Lloyd and other stars in comedies as
we'll as Blanche Sweet, Wally Reid,
Harold Lockwood, Vangie Valentine
and others in feature pictures.
Mr.. Binney owned a half interest
in the Harold Lockwood organization
and personally directed Lockwood the
last two years of his life.
Constantine Binney, and Fair also,
are his cousins and got their first
screen experience at his hands.
He will shortly produce picture
N and near Lewiston and it is during
,he interval between now and then
that he has consented to make a
home talent" picture in Moscow.
Don't Overlook This Chance.
Harold j. Binney will begin the Sc
ection of local aspirants for fame
md fortune on the movie stage next
July 16.
He wants all who would enter his
Moscow play to immediat tely send in
heir photographs. These photo
,raphs must have written on the back
he name and address of the sender,
lso the age, height, weight, color of
air and color of eyes. This informa-
ion, all of it, is important and must
e written on the back of the picture,
lot on separate slip of paper and
nclosed The picture should be ad-
ressed to Harold J. Binney, care of
tar Mirror, Moscow, Idaho" and .
lust positively be in this office by
aturday, July 18th, and the sooner !
he better.
From these pictures Mr.. Binney will
e able to get an idea of the photo
raphing possibilities of the appli-
ants. An appointment will be made,
owever, so that he will have an op- {
ortunity of personally meeting-and
ldging who apply to take part. {
Beauty Not the Prime Factor. {
1t may be said that while some per- j
,ns are perfect" from the physical
,andpoint, they may also be 'im- 9
ossible" as screen prospects. Their 7
aauty, for instance, may not be the
nd that will photograph to the best {
Vantage. Others who have the j
,hotographing personality may be 9
1able to act, even after careful i
aching, while others who never c
'eam they are possessed of all the
quirements are instantly apparent
successes.
It takes an expert to see these
ints. And Harold ]. Binney is all
that-an expert. =
