MEMORY cues clicked fast for Jack
Holt, Paramount star, the other
day. when he visited his old home
in New York. the rectory of the
St James Episcopal Church, at
l90th street and Jerome avenue,
Holt, who is generally thought Of
among motion picture patrons as
westerner because of his ability to
ride horseback. spent sixteen years
of his life in New York. He was
brought to New York when he was
a year old by his parents. his father
at the time becoming rector of ST.
James Episcopal Church. which post
he held for nineteen years.
1t has been a long time since Holt
has visited his old homo, but scenes
and events of his childhood came

Demand for Period and Costume
d Plays.

"A BOUT every so often the question
n Are costume tor perlod) plays
\ coming back on the SCREEN" is asked
by some one.
The answer generally is: IF they
are what the public wants they II
come back"
Certainly the present-day appear
ance of the studios indicates a seri-
Gus determination on the part of pro-
ducers to find out whether the pub
lie wants costume plays or whether 1t
doesn't.
Nearly every Cecil Il. DeMille Para
mount picture has had at least an
interlude which carried the specta-
tors back to some ancient period IN
history and enabled the producer to
show his ability to handle such sub
jects and to indulge his love of
beauty and gorgeous trappinss. Male
and Female" was an early example or
this. with its cut-back to the days

during the progress of which Thomas
Neighan. as the mighty Alaric, rides
in at the head of his barbarian
hordes. 1t is said to be one of the
most elaborate sequences ever intro
duced into a modern drama. Jeanie
Macpherson adapted the Alice Duer
Miller novel.
George Fitzmaurice. another pro-
ducer who revels in color, has COM

the early colonization of Virginia and

seen in the role of the kings ward

Ouida Bergere adapted. Theodore

we were furnished with the neces-
sary credentials to expedite our mis-

Later, I learned that this unaf-

of the revolutionary committee. and
the highest official in the government
of Siberia.
That has been our experience
throughout Russia. All the men hold
ing high positions are of this same
type. and show Willingness. even

hand cars on the Trans Siberian rail-

of our carriers and pack ponies,
though we have some places on our
itinerary that we can only reach by

That the expedition into Siberia
has been fraught with adventure and
trying experiences is evidenced by
line in Mr.. Zeigfeld's letter. in which
he says: II am especially happy to-
day, as I've just secured a new, clean
board and a real straw tick to sleep

Color u, Films.

At last we are to see natural colors
"A In films, in a more natural man
ner and in softer shades than hither-
to in photoplays.
This new color film is known as
kodak color flm' and has been
worked out by DR.. Mees and Mr. Cap
staff of the Kodak Research Labora-
tories. after years of painstaking ex-
perimentation and research.
The work has been going on quiet
ly, the Kodak company making no
disclosures until it had something
real and positive to show on the
screen.
1t is, of course. well known that
many color processes have been
worked out and demonstrated to the
film patron, but 1t is also perhaps
well known q mighty small percen :
tage Of these have been thoroughly
satisfactory. for some reason or
other, a slight one, perhaps. but a
sufficient one to destroy, the final re-
suits.
Large sums of money have been
spent without success. Motion pic
ture color photography has been a
Ctopian dream. Though Prizma mas
toplays, there is still room for i'm
provement in their product.

most practical and commercial proc
ess yet attained. Hope Hampton, the
young First National star, who pos
sesses a glorious radiance OF beauti-
full coloring is expected TO proht oy
this discovery.
Miss Hampton is a Titan haired
beauty. but with real Titan hair OBJ
tanned by the grace of God and not
with the assistance Of the chemist or
chemicals. Her eyes are blue. her
skin is of the "peachblown" variety.
and her teeth have the proper tone
for color film. 1t is said to be star
thing to observe how true to life this
young woman appears on the screen
in q film treated with the Kodak color
process.
It is predicted that when pictures
of greater length are made in fuil
continuity in color, Hope HAMPTON
will stand among the screens most
