Lo, the Poor Movie Extra
Gets His Notice at Last
Here's Song of Sympathy and Praise for the
Screen Players Who Rarely Get
The "Close-Ups."

Among the unsung heroes Of the
placid present are, the anonymous
members of screen companies who are
obliged to take tremendous risks. not
for any immediate material ad-
vantage. but simply in the hope that
their feat may catch the eye OF a
director and win them a reward at
some future time
The position of these players Cthey
are usually .extras) is all the more
pathetic because very few Of them are
ever heard Of Either they sink into
oblivion in minor roles or decide that
the game is not worth the risk. In
the latter case they may be found al

Thomas MeighAn has shown HIM
self to be one of the best story
sleuths in the motion picture busi-
ness and a great deal OF his success
as a screen star has been attributed
to this important factor. He has
happy faculty of knowing a good
story when he sees It.
He II was who saw the dramatic
possibilities of The Miracle Man
and induced George Loane Tucker
to produce it; his idea was elab-
grated by Edward Peple into the
story which Meighan recently COM
pleted. tentatively titled The Proxy
Daddy"
IF You Believe 1t, It's So.'' Periey
Poore Sheehan's story which pre-
ceded The Proxy Daddy" as star
ring vehicle for Meighan. was ac-
quired by Paramount through the
stars personal efforts, and Our
Leading Citizen" which George AIDE
wrote especially for Meighan and
the screen. was written by the ia
nous humorist at Meighan's earnest
solicitation.
"The Miracle Man" the photoplay
that carried it's principals. Thomas
Meighan and Betty Compson, TO
stardom, was the property of George
Cohan. The latter turned 1t over
to Meighan, who in turn offered II
to a number of producers. 1t re-
manned for the late George Loane
Tucker to see the value OF the story
and produce what has been perhaps
the greatest screen success of recent
years. But even In the case Of
Tucker it required all of Meighan's
persuasive powers to induce the
producer to Aim the story.
At the time of his death, George
Loane Tucker owned the film right
to eff You Believe, It, It's So" and
was planning to produce II as his
next screen play. The producer~had
made a vain effort to secure Mel
CHAN for the chief masculine role.
The star subsequently persuaded
Paramount to purchase the story
from the Tucker estate.
Our Leading Citizen" which
George AIDE wrote and partially
scenarized in collaboration with
waldemar Young, came as the re-
suit of Meighan's repeated request
that AIDE write an original story for
the screen. The friendship between
the author and the star dates back
to AIDES playwright days and Mel
ghan's success as a stage actor. The
latter appeared in The College

ARTS CLUB LAUDS
GARRICK'S DRAMA;
TO MEET PLAYERS

A notable tribute to the work of
the Garrick Players has been Of
fered by the Washington Arts Club
in the passage, of a resolution. COM
mending the policy of the Garrick
organization. -
Through its drama group the
Arts Club is a leader in the move
ment for the uplift of the stage
and In furtherance of this work
James Otis Porter offered the mo-
tion that the efforts of the local
thespians for productions of sturdy
moral tone be, encouraged In a
practical way.
Following the passage of the
resolution the members voted to
hold a reception at the clubs head
quarters this afternoon. when the
members of the Garrick company
will be the special guests. In addi-
ton the Arts Club will attend the
Monday night performance OF
"Charley's Aunt" in body, 400
seats having been reserved for
members and friends.

attended with considerable risk. The
presence OF a life net below was
small consolation, especially TO Mr..
Nichols. who was required by the
scenario to break right through the
net in one fall and land soundly on
dear old Mother Earth.
The latest addition to the role Of
screen heroes. however. is the actor
who performs a fall in Mack SEN
nett's- latest six reel comedy-meio-
drama. The Crossroads of New
York." chief feature of the bill for
the current week at Crsndalrs Metro

When the irate Wall street mag
nate Is kept a prisoner in a country
mansion by an INSCRIPTIONS villain
who seeks to stampede the stock mar
ket. 1t becomes the duty OF this actor
TO come to his rescue from the roof
of the building. The balcony. which
constitutes the only means Of access
to the imprisoned mans room, over
hangs a cliff with a sheer drop of
100 feet
To the eyes of the astounded audi
ence the would be rescuer misses his
footing. clutches blindiy at the rail-
ing of the balcony and then passes
out of sight in the bottomiess abyss
below.
OF course. the audience knows he
wasn't really killed. They are aware
that a life net was stretched below
to save him.
But that doesn't make up for the
risk he ran. A life net at best is q
very narrow contraption. A real slip
might have meant oblivion. The
actor who took the part was taking
good deal more. He took his life
in his hands when he made the fall
in the general direction Of the net.
