LEARN HOW BEFORE

PHOTOPLAY STAR

IF you must smoke. be sure you
know how-and then don't" is the
odd way Shirley Mason. the popular
Fox star. who appears at the Strand
Theater all week. beginning today,
in The Ragged Heiress," solves the
cigarette problem.
Il know of one case in particu-
lar" she said. where the smoke of
an innocent looking little cigarette
caused delay of a whole day in
the making of a picture. A very un-
sophisticated young woman thought
she'd try a cigarette on the set at
the studio while things were being
shifted about. looking very brave
and wise. she lighted II and took a
long puff. Someone smiled Then
this young person thought she'd try
1t another way. She inhaled-hard.
Then an accident occurred. The
smoke went down the wrong way

PREMATURE FAME
INJURIES AN ACTOR,
ATWILL DECLARES

There are two distinct types of
actors nowadays" declares Lionel
Atwill. whom David Belasco is pre-
senting in The Grand Duke" the
Partisan comedy by Sacha Guitry.
There are people who make a
speciality Of projecting their own
personalities and others who are
real actors. as conceived from the
old time standing of the word, who
set out to typify distinct char
acters. merely using their own per-
sonality. as a lens through which
they project their characterizatio tions.
That is one of the reasons why
the oft-heard cry of the dearth OF
good actors is so prevalent today,
for many have found it much more
lucrative in projecting their own
personalities than in submergine
themselves in the roles they play.
In the beginning of a career on
the stage, a player should not be a
victim of too early success. One
should never come into the big
metropolitan cities until one feels
ready and trained. The jumping into
prominence on the part OF either
an actor or actress must eventually
be the cause of his or her end. They
cannot last, for they have no tech
nical foundation on which to build
a solid structure. which will stand
the trying demands of the public
OF continual change"

SULLIVAN STARTED
A SCREEN CAREER
AS A JOURNALIST

G. Gardner Sullivan. who wrote
the story and continuity for Hail
the Woman" Thomas II. Inces
great human epic, which comes to
Loew's Palace today. is one of the
motion picture dramatists. He has
written for the screen since the
early days Of the industry.
Sullivan 1. a former newspaper
writer of feature stories. and has
been connected with leading news
papers throughout the country.
His first position was on the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, where he made
name by writing series of
stories centering around events in
the law courts. Here I was that
he first gathered the fund OF
psychological knowledge that is
now serving him so well in writing
picture plays that appeal to the
public through their strong human
interest. He subsequently Joined
the Chicago Tribune. the New York
journal. and other papers. as fea-
turc writer.
Realizing the possibilities OF eH-
preston offered by the films. Sulli-
van wrote his first scenario. which
was single reeler. and sold it
readily to the Edison Company. He
subsequently sold his first two-reel
scenario to Thomas II. Ince. and has
since written regularly for that
producer.
In search of atmosphere" and
fresh material for screen picturiza-
tion, Sullivan made a trip through
the leading European countries last
year.

forces the family recognition on the
very day that the father is being

passes from one tense situation to
another and there is a romantic

dom been equalled in a Ince master

Hopkins Produces a Play
By Two Mere Schoolgirls
Broadway's Most Exacting Impressario Daz-
zles Metropolis With Speed of
"Voltaire's" Premiere.

Arthur Hopkins feels that tAe
producers chief service to the the
ater ana the public is the finding
OF new plays and the unearthing Of
new authors.
'T would rather produce an un-
known authors first success than a
famous authors last one" he wrote
not SO long ago.
Accordingly. when Mr.. Hopk ms
announced that he would present
"voltaire" with Arnold Daily in the
title role at the Plymouth Theater
In New York recently. he had per-
formed his tuty to the theater as
he sees IL. He had found a new
play and had unearthed two new
authors. Cecilia Taylor and Gertrude
Purcell, who. in collaboration, have
written the comedy which is based
on incidents in the life OF the great
French wit and philosopher. con-
centrated in a space of twenty-four
hours. They have written. not in
the usual biographical manner but
in accordance with the prescribed
unities OF the theater.
While both Miss Taylor and Miss
Purcell have written other plays
careers. "Voltaire" Is their first ef-
fort at collaboration and is the first
play either has had accepted for
production in New York. With such
swiftness were all the details ar
ranged leading up to the plays ac-
ceptance, the signing of the con-
tract and the beginning Of re-
hearsals that the girls. for they are
probably among New York's young
est authors for the theater. scarce
ly seem to realize what has hap
pened. Both experienced dis
tinct shock a day or two ago when
they walked westward on Forty
fifth street and saw the annpunce-
ment> OF the play up in lights in
front OF the Plymouth Theater.
Both Miss Taylor and Miss Pur-
cell were graduated from college a
little more than three years ago
Invariably. when they have at
tempted interviews with producing
managers regarding their manu-
scripts. they have been first re.
gsrded as actresses seeking en-
gagements by worldly-wise Office
attendants and have had TO explain
their way into the inner sanctum
OF the manager. Miss Purcell has
made two appearances on the stage
In Mr.. Belssco's production OF
"Debursu" she walked on as a
hoop-skirted extra person. and in
March Hares'' she SCARED into the
role of a maid.

BENNY'S VIOLIN
IS yAZZIC RATHER
THAN CLASSIC

Perhaps il ought not to be so. but
the average vaudeville audience is
very much like people everywhere
else. 1t likes pep and jazz, and is
disappointed IL they are not forth
coming. Perhaps to greater eX-
tent than in any other form of en-
tertainment, vaudeville audiences
like to be amused. and Jack Benny.
who is on the bill at B. F. Keith's
this week. realizes that so long as
he is working in vaudeville. IT is up
to him to give the customers what
they want.
Jack has theory that a violin is
good for ever so many things. as
well as an instrument for playing
difficult concertos. That theory may
not be welcome among those who
are too keen for art for arts
sake" but il suits Mr.. and Mrs.
Average Man right down to the
ground. And when Jack Benny
plays a tune on his old fiddle. and
makes 1t talk. and does all sorts of
comedy stunts with il. he gets a
lot of appreciation. for in his hands.
the violin is first and foremost a
means of banishing the blues.
Mr.. Benny. nevertheless. is a
skilled musician, and he proves it
by playing a really dificult selec-
tion. However. the audiences.
though duly appreciative. really be-
gin to sit up and take notice, he
finds. after that part OF the pro-
gram is over with. Kreisler can
get all the applause in the world
when he plays. but Charlie Chap
lin. with the same violin, would
throw an audience into Mysteries.
Jack muses. sagely that if he can
judiciously blend the two maybe he
can get 'em both ways.

Rudolph Valentino will be re-

AMERICA UNFAIR
TO YOUNG SINGERS,
SAYS PRIMA DONNA

Unusual opportunities are awaiting
American singers, according TO
Eleanor Painter, who is appearing
in THE Last Waltz" the Oscar
Straus operetta which comes to Polls
tonight. 1t Is the belief of the prima
donna that the chaotic conditions
abroad brought about by the war
have resulted in the creation Of places
on the American stage for our own
singers.
There has never been any ques-
tion in my mind" Miss Painter said,
but that the best teachers in the
world are to be found right here in
America. T did not go abroad to
study because 1 chose to, nor because
there were not excellent teachers
here. but because, before. the war.
conditions there were more con-
ducive to rapid advancement. My
case was that OF hundreds of others.
If We could only give young men
and women encouragement. there
would be no reason for them to leave
the country The greatest advantage
abroad was that young singers were
given an opportunity. their imperfec-
tions were tolerated in the hope
that as they grew they might de-
velop into big artists. In America.
the public demands that a singer
must be almost perfect. must already
have achieved great success. That
is why. before the war. Europe was
full Of American singers who were
fine artists. but who could not obtain
engagements at home.
ITO. become a singer OF leading
roles requires years Of patient toll
and study. and to be able to accom-
plish the best results. one should be
able to sing and study at the same
time. That is what Europe offered.
1t is when you are appearing in pub
lie that you most need a competent
teacher"
