Farnun1 Is Winner
in Film, Contest
r N motion picture star popu-

II N q motion picture star popu-
larity contest conducted in
Japan, William Farnum, ia
NOUS william Fox favorite, re-
ceived the highest number Of votes
cast for male actors in the silent
drama. Among the women favorites
in Japanese motion picture houses,
Pearl White, Fox star. received the
second highest number Of votes.
In the various picture theaters in
Japanese cities where the contest
was conducted, the number of votes
cast for feminine stars was more
than twice the total for male stars.
The former was 127 .091 for fifty-nine
world d-famous motion picture ac-
tresses, the leader receiving 1871
with Pearl White second, 1905. Out
Of a total of 50,402 votes cast for
male stars, William Farnum was
first with 5.26S.
An account of the contest was
published in the Katso No Sekai, a
motion picture monthly magazine of
Tokyo.
American stars of the screen pre-
dominated greatly In the Japanese
popularity test, and the highest vote
for any of the three Oriental screen
stars In the male list (no Oriental
screen actress was among the fifty
nine listed ranked tenth with 2,O02
votes.
The contest aroused considerable
interest among Mongolian fans,
whose numbers are increasing enor-
mously month by month. The sig.
nificance Of the growing interest in
motion pictures in the Mongolian
countries-China as well as Japan
can be grasped only when II is re.
membered that the territories are
populated by 10000, 900 human be-
ings of a race which for more than
10, 200 years has reveled In pageantry
and pictured stories of various sorts.
The POSSIBLE future of mongolia
as a motion picture field staggers
imagination. Already, in spite of ad-
verse economic conditions in China,
the development has been tremend-

of sunny days. l do not wish to
imply that this State is not now a
very excellent place in which to
make pictures, but the matter of
daylight or sunlight is no longer the
essential it was once considered.
Take look at any Paramount
picture, for example. and you will
see that many of the exterior sets
are actually built on stages rendered
temporarily or permanently dark and
that antique illumination sup
plies the most effective lighting. A
case in point is William de Mile,
Paramount director, who for his
past four productions has not been
on location more than once or twice,
and then only for a very short dist
ance OF time.
Electrical experimenters and eY-
perts in lighting have so developed
the means Of artificial illumination
that tremendous sun arcs and other
appliances can virtually duplicate
the light Of day and provide the
even illumination that is necessary.
Scenes can be made on dark stages

current Universal feature is

ers from a burn on her arm.
In a sequence Of THE Girl Who
knew All About Men," depicting the
intimacies of young lady's boudoir,
the script calls for Marie, and her
roommate, to breakfast in bed. They
make their own coffee on their own
electric percolator, cook the eggs
on an electric stove; in fact, enjoy a
thoroughly boarding school break

King Baggot, Miss Prevost's d.
rector, was showing her the proper
way a young lady should pour cof.

the bed. Nat Ross, his assistant,
was preparing the coffee.
Now, you take the percolator and

heap under the combined weight of
Miss Provost Baggot and Ross.

breakfast table, overturning the

Miss Provost was the only one
scalded in the melee. Her arms
were wrapped in dressing until med
ical assistance could be summoned.
The burns, while not severe enough

At the time Tom was with the
1O1 Ranch show in Chicago. He
was riding and roping and doing
hair raising stunts. He had
known Buffalo Bill some time.
"One day Buffalo Bill, or Bill
Cody, as we called him, sent for

some kind of a legal fellow with
him. Tom said Bill, some day

Local Censorship Question
Holds Up Marshall NeiIan's
Plans for Building Huge
Plant for Coming Pictures.

r oS ANGELES. known as the
dlm city OF the world. due 10
the fact that over rs per cent
OF tie American movies are pro
duced there. may lose millions OF
dollars yearly II II adopts local cen.
sorship.
An indication OF the determination
on the part OF the big movie pro
ducers TO move elsewhere should
censorship become effective was dis,
closed by Marshall Neilan. promi-
nent producer. who has held up the
building of a $3.50. 900 producing plant
pending the decision on the ques.
tion OF censorship OF films shown
In Los Angeles movie thesters.
Neilan some months ago pur
chased large parcel OF land In Les
Angeles for the purpose of building
a gigantic studio accommodating
five big producing companies. In
this new plant Mr.. Neilan planned to
double his own output and affiliate
with various other producers In a
cooperative plan calling for the in
terchange OF stars, directors and
laboratory experts.
Upon returning from a trip to
New York, where he perfected finan.
ciai arrangements for the project,
Mr.. Neilan finding the censorship
situation threatening Los Angeles.
called halt to all activities which
were In charge OF John Jasper, we'll
known builder of studios in Los An
geles and San Francisco and owner
of the big Hollywood studios at the
foot of the Sa|:a Monica mountains.
The eastern capital that would be
imported and spent in Los Angeles
as a result of the new Neilan prof.
ect would approximate $4,000, 900
yearly. Over 500 actors, stars, d.
rectors, carpenters, electricians, la.
borers. mechanics and other studio
men would find employment in this
plant.
Marshall Neilan is recognized As
one OF the most consistent producers
OF big successes in the motion pic
ture world. Among the pictures he
has made during the past eight
years in Los Angeles are such
worldwide successes as Bob
Hampton Of Placer" bits OF Life"
"Dinty," ''The Rivers End" GO
and Get It," Don't Ever Marry"
Daddy Long Legs" "Rebecca OF
Sunnybrook Farm" and "AmarfIly
of clothesline AlIey"-the last three
pictures starring Mary Pickford. He
is at present producing "Penrod,"
with Wesley Barry.
Neilan is affiliated with Associated
First National Pictures, who dis
tribute his product and which or.
ganization controls over 1000 thea
ters throughout the country and
supplies a service to 10000 other
theaters.
Other producers are determined to
take similar steps should the pro-
posed censorship law become ef-
fective, including the Metro Pictures
Corporation, which has announced
that 1t would discontinue all future
production pending the outcome of
the battle.
