Clever Double Exposure

COME of the most clever double ex
~ posure work ever shown on the
screen is one feature of The Silent
Vow" William Duncan's current vi
tagraph release. Duncan not only
directed this piece. but also took a
dual role. that of a father and son.
1t has always been a rule in double
exposure work that no actor should
cross the "deadline' in the center of
the picture. In 1.-The Silent Vow
however. this difficulty is overcome.
Duncan as the father sits in chair
and Duncan as the son walks across
the stage in back of himself and pats
himself on the head. How this was
accomplished is a technical secret
which Director William Duncan re-
fuses to reveal. The story of 1.-The
Silent Vow" deals with bitter fam
lily feud of two generations. The alb
sorbing action takes place in the
Canadian northwest The cast in
cludes Edith Johnson. who is CO.

Plea for Dumb Beasts.

IN open letter to Will H. Hays.
president Moving Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors of America,
Incorporated. has been written by
Gertrude O'Brien of Glendale, Calf.
and distributed to newspapers gener-
ally. She makes the following plea:
You have a great power In your
hands-the power to influence the
youth. of America through the me-
Gium of the screen-a power to in
fiuence for cruelty or kindness. Will
you use this power to its limit?
'I maintain that more harm Is done
by the exposition of one scenario dis
playing cruelty to dumb beast than
any number Of scenes Of unconvicted
criminals or alluring .vamps. as the
young mind does not grasp their real
Aignificance. AS the child. so the
man.
"Within the year there have ap-
peared On different screens several
extremely cruel scenes, among them
the killing and death struggle Of a
wolf which was merely fighting for
his life: another the trapping of and
suffering of an animal.
whenever a wild animal appears
in a scene. and men or boys seize
guns to kill. there is a murmur of
applause that runs over the audience.
This should not be, and does inesti-
mable harm to the young mind and
encourages the love to kill in the old.
"A man who is kind to his dog will
be kind to his wife.

Claim to Be Censor Proof.

DUPERT HUGHES. the novelist and
during the war prominently
identified with the operations of the
military intelligence division of the
War Department, has transferred his
operations from Washington to Los
Angeles. where, in association with
Rex Beach, Irwin cobb and other
writers, he has taken "a prominent
part in the campaign to release the
screen from domination of the censor.
Hughes carries his anti-censorship
doctrine to the point of writing
stories which stand as monuments OF
discretion. good taste and charm IN
motion picture production. This Is
particularly true, Mr.. Hughes de-
clares. OF his latest picture, Come on
Over" which begins a Washington
engagement today at the Columbia.
"'Come on over Is a censor-proof
play" he declares. AT the same time
I fatter myself that the picture IS
not 'denatured' from the STANDPOINT
Of romance, human interest and dra-
matte values, for it deals with phases
of subjects which frequently come
under the ban of censorship. am
very anxious that Come on Over
shall stand as an example of what
can be done in motion picture writing
and direction to offset the claim OF
necessity for censorship raised by the
advocates of such measures.

Every bit of camera equipment had
to be packed on the backs of the
men of the company. In many in

for the tripod said Frank Borzage,
