Of confidence in the wisdom of trans
planting the operatic star to the
screen armament
Aside from the unfamiliarity of the
stage and operatic star with the me-
dunn of motion pictures, a difficulty
enhanced by the arrogance with
which they usually approach the new
field. there is another fundamental
obstruction in the path OF the film
producer who exploits them. AL
though their names may be on the
lips of every inhabitant Of large
city, many small town knows them
not. Main Street, which counts enor-
mously in pictures. is apt to be much
more familiar with some compare
lively obscure film actress than with
F'arrar or Gsrden. This fact was
brought home to me when, some
months after signing my contract
with Miss Garden. | was talking with
small-town exhibitor who had come
with his lawyer to see me about sign
Ing a contract for Goldwyn films.
"Ah. remarked the lawyer. look
ing at some photographs on my desk.
i see you have engaged Mary Gar
den; That ought to be a great cardr'
Mary Garden" exclaimed the ex-
| hibitcr at this point. "Why, what S
new about her. I showed her five
years ago and charged five cents ad-
| mission" Evidently he had confused
the prfma donna with Mary Gardner,
a screen actress.
One of the incidents which stands
out from that winter in the Fort Lee
studio was the meeting which ] ef-
| fected between Mary Garden and Ger
| aldine Farrar The two rivals had
never been introduced. But neither
| apparently had found acquaintance
necessary to the formation Of a firm,
| opinion. In the days when Miss Far

| studio ] would sometimes talk to her
while De Mile was taking other
| scenes. The conversation usually
drifted toward people. and it's curren,
| bore us almost inevitably to Mary
| Garden. It was quite patent. how
| ever. that the fascination which this
| theme seemed to possess for Geral-

ry. which always exists, and the

Those days when we were produce

the most troubled of my history.
Harassed by financial adjustments
and by production difficulties, assail-

had this supreme anxiety regarding
the outcome Of my enormous invest
ment in Mary Garden. Indeed, I was
constantly called upon to media6e be-
tween the singer and her director.
The death of That's was almost
the death Of Mary Garden. She had
fought bitterly the scenarios de-
parture from the original text here in
this scene. She asserted that the
screen version presenting as it did

the projection room down to the
office. Here she found Margaret Mayo.
Did you see it," she stormed to this
other woman. That terrible thing.
Did you see the way they made me
die? Imagine saint dying like
that"
The actress looked her up and
down and then she responded in a
tone OF studied insolence. "You
would have hard time. Miss Gar

were a saint"
Some time later when l came up

for she had arrived at the studio
early each morning and was often
the last to leave 1t.
Certainly we were most unwise In
selecting for her first picture a story
in which her operate tradition was
SO ingrained. This was brought out
by the comparative success of her

should have done on it three or four
times the business which we actually

Goldwyn Company heavily. Disas-

known about the plan before-in his
speech at. the banquet which 1000 big
business men and bankers, led by A.
c. Bedford, chairman of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, gave him
at the Waldorf-Astoria. He said that
the Dawes committee did not attempt
to fix the blame for the war and
claims that they did not approach the
problem of Preparations in the spirit
of imposing a penalty on Germany"
Germany was asked to pay. Her
ability to produce rested upon "the
spirit and discipline of her labor"
stated Young. He praised the bankers
and all the allied and American Of
details who had anything to do with
the plan as a matter of course. He
put it up to the American big bust
ness men who insure the success of
the plan in operation.

Votes Stolen Everywhere.
Il have had reports from many
comrades from different election dis.
tricts, which leave no doubt that a
large number of votes were stolen.
ut is, Of course, impossible to esti
mate the percentage of votes which
were not counted, but win mention
several instances. In the goth cleo.
ton district of the 25th ward in Pitts
burgh, not single vote was recorded
for our presidential candidate. In this
district, Comrades Hanas and Randa,
our candidates for the legislature, and
Mrs. Randa, cast stright vote. Com.
ride Hanas tells me that he heard
from the LaFollette watcher that
there were ten votes for our presi
Dental ticket. Not one was counted.
We were given credit for from four
to seven on other candidates.
In the Labor Lyceum election dis
trict. the LaFollette watcher told one
of our comrades that there were ten
votes for our presidential candidate
and only two we're reported. This
was the case in good many other
districts that we heard from. think
it is fair to assume that the vote ac-
tually cast was at least twice as large
as the vote shown by the official
count.-Signed, |. Blankenstein."
