Painters of the Past
Are Teachers of Modern
Motion Picture Makers

When Rembrandt and Titan painted
their masterpieces they little dreamed
they were TO play an important part in
the development Of another great art
which was to arise hundreds OF years
later. Nevertheless, the old masters
have exerted and are constantly exert
ing powerful influence on motion
pictures. Progressive producers, recog-
nizing artistic values, are turning to
the painters of the past for lessons In
composition, grouping and lighting of
screen scenes.
One of the pioneers IN this field,
Cecil B. De Mile, introduced to tho
screen what has come to be known as
Rembrandt lighting" He Is Con
stantly making use OF the famous
works of famous painters In his newest
productions. Tho latest, in which he
has carried his theories to further de-
velopment, Is Manslaughter," the story
of modern society life featuring
Thomas Meighan, Lois Wilson and
Leatrice JOY, which is the new at
traction at the RivoH FOR n second
week.

New Picture Concerning
Life and Love of Napoleon

Jesse A. Levinson announces that
he will present In the United States
and Canada motion picture, "Thc
Plsything Of an Emperor" based on
the celebrated love romance Of Napo-
leon Bonaparte and Countess Marie
Walewska, which has been mado the
theme Of numerous novels and plays
in many languages, and is extensively
treated in all biographies Of Napoleon.
The production is said to contain
elaborate settings and scenes, such as
a court ball in the Emperors honor,
banquet and reception in his head
quarters and an encampment Of the
Grand Army. Costumes In the mode Of
the pictures period were created for
thousand peasants, troop of caval-
ry and hundreds Of ballroom guests.
Tho same fidelity to history is shown
in the settings, which are exact repli-
cas- of the rooms where Napoleon lived
and loved

experimenting with lighting, with The
assistance of Alvin Wyckoff, his chief
cinematographer, all motion picture
photography had a tendency to be fat;
every corner Of the picture was flooded
with light.
Following in the footsteps of the
Dutch painter, De Mile and Wyckoff
attempted to high light" one side Of
characters face while the other side
remained in shadow. Critics of that
day prophesied that their efforts would
result in failure, but they succeeded
despite adverse criticism. To-day
"Rembrandt lighting is a feature of
all Cecil B De Mile pictures and of n
majority Of other notable productions.

tant elements in the perturbation of
all stories, and here, too, the producing
directors have proftcd by tho splendid

AS we aad been talking TO the ma

decided that we must go, but there
was one question we must ask first.
"Why have you done what no star on
the screen ever has done? nearly got
killed in the crowd the first Sunday
Blood and Sandy oyened st the
Rivoli!"
~ suppose It & because I take pains
with my C aracterizations," answered
Rodolpho ingenuously. Ye gods, and
he meant It'll He thinks that 100000
women are fighting for seats to see
him on the screen because he is coz
scientious in his work. We shook oug
head with finality. "That's not the
reason at all. Now what is it? Some
thing much moro intangible than
makeup"
"You ask me-who do not think I
am good. You should tell me-you are.

So We told him, adding "That's why
like Dick Barthelmess, too"
Richard Barthelmess-such an artist
and such handsome fellow! should
be glad to look and to act like him."
Again Mr.. Valentino was quito sincere,
which proves what we said at first,
that he Is totally without conceit.
And now to keep our promise.
Rodolpho Valentino (his first name
is really Rodolpho, not Rodolph) is
rather tall and slender, but he has fine
muscular shoulders. He doesn't dress
like an American, and he shouldn't, be-
cause he doesn't look like one. He looks
in real life exactly as he looked in
"The ConQuering Power" He is very
dark and his hair and eyes are fct

and he wears heavy platinum ring set

wife gave him the ring. She also put on
his wrist the platinum chain which nc
wears.

bat when he is excited he pronounces
his proper names peculiarly. For in-
stance, his lawyer, Arthur Graham, he
calls "Mr, Gram" He seems very sweet,
