New Texas Cuinan
Productions Promised

The Texas Guinan Productions was
organized last week 70 produce a series
OF twelve two-reel Western dramas.
These attractions will be released bv
way OF the Independent, or state
market, commencing September Is.
The productions will be adaptations
from authors who have specialized in
Western characterization, and the de-
parture from the so-called Western
drama lies mainly in the fact that Miss
Gulnan's productions will be portrayals
of the truo Western character. In
other words, as Miss Guinan stated,
My new series of attractions will not
consist Of d reel and a, half Of COWBOYS
chasing one another on horseback, plus
a half reel of close-ups, but will in
volve true, deep story characterization
and material.
Il further believe" said Miss Guinan.
that there is nothing 30 romantic and
so appealing to the heart as a story
laid in the great West and dealing with
Western characters as only Westerner
knows them
Besides these twelve attractions Miss
Guinan will produce in the course of
the year two five or six reel Western
specials. She will also continue, after
the release Of the first twelve, to make
second series Of twelve two-reel pro-
auctions
Tho Eastern Offices OF the Texas
Guinan Productions are in Room 712.
Gotham National Bank Building. New
York City. Production work will be
done on the west coast. The first six
stories have already been acquired.
Two of them call for ocations u Mon
tana and Arizona, and the producing
company will photograph these at the
exact places named by the authors Of
the stories.

Construction of
Sheridan Theater

The Sheridan Theater, on Seventh
Avenue at Twelfth Street and Green
wich Avenue, is the first picture thea
ter to invade Greenwich Village. About
100000 has been spent on the theater,
which will open shortly.
The Sheridan Theater COMPANY. Of
which Max Spiegel is president, has
planned few innovations which will
be welcome to the regular picture pa
tron. The inconvenience caused by
late arrivals and early departures has
been avoided by constructing cross
ways, which traverse the entire width
of the thcater and are sunk below the
level of the seats bordering these
crossways. In this way patrons can
cross the theater and aisles without
obstructing the vision of those al
ready seated
Another thoughtful idea is repre-
scented in having large waiting rooms
for men and women on the orchestra

From illustrator to motion picture
director is probably not as long road
as it might seem. 1t is the illustrator
who, in visualizing scenes for the
printed page, develops for the reader

the authors work carefully, selects the
most powerful scenes for illusb'ab N

De; &il for his painting that the sage
director does for the play. Where tie

in both mediums. With the continuous
development Of the artistic side OF IT,.

a greater appreciation of tie contrib,-

The Fred c. Quimby motion pic
lures Of the Dempsey Carpenter
worlds heavyweight championship con-
test, which in alb their completeness
are being presented at the Forty fourth
Street Theater under Tex Richards
name, constitute not only a histori-
cal but sociological record.
For on these films, taken by twenty
cameras, so that every angle and
movement Of the championship contest
is shown, is recorded the significant
fact that this was the first worlds
championship in which cosmopolitan
and enfranchised women played so large
part. 1t is not only that Mrs. Kermit
Roosevelt, Mrs. Vincent Astor and
other notable society leaders were
present at the ringside. but the specta-
tor cannot fail to note the large per-
centage Of women scattered throughout
the arena.
Notable, therefore, as these pictures
will always be as the official record of
the first championship meeting between
America and France, they will be nota-
Bile also for the record they bear on
the face of them as to the sporting
manners and customs of this present
day and age. They show how keen an
