This episode takes Fame to Paris,
where he becomes the successful
composer of popular songs, without,
however, realizing any of the ambi-
tions that caused him to break with
his parents.
The third episode is in Port Said,
to which Eric has drifted after his
failure to adjust himself to the garish
cafe life of Paris. This is the largo
movement of the Fame symphony.
The last movement-the rhapsody
and finale-takes Fame to the South
Sea Islands, where his problems are
resolved, after the manner of musical
dissonances
John S. Robertson, director for Mr..
Barthelmess, has found this method
of telling a story an unusually fasci-
mating one. While it IS episode in it's
action and diverse in its background,
it has the advantage of focusing the
interest entirely on the character
played by the star. Moreover, each
episode creates a mood of it's own, IL
is explained, and the central idea of
the story-Fane's revolt against the
superhcialities of civiIation and re-
turn to the simplicity of the primi-
tive-is more strongly presented than
it would be in the ordinary unbroken
continuity.
The idea of presenting pantemine
to tell the story of a symphony is not
modern; in fact, it goes back to the
origin of the symphony or sonata
form, which primarily was a suite Of
four dances of varying tempt and
mood, and intended to be danced or
enacted

Meet the Gag Man. >

WHEN a comedy is being made the
w "gag man" is the busiest person
on the lot. His advice is constantly
being sought by the director, camera
man, scenarist and every member Of the
company from star to the smallest bit.
He has to think up all the funny little
stunts that pull picture out of the rut
of ordinary photography into something
distinctive and humorous.
When Listen Lester" was being made
the script called for innumerable diff
ficulties Music, eliminated by screen
limitations. had to be replaced by other
forms of humor. Here the gag man"
came into his own.
One Of the problems consisted In f1av-
ing a man discover what was going on
behind the locked door of a hotel room.
The old keyhole gag had outlived Its USE
fulness. Besides, the previous scenes
had indicated that the room was built
SO that an outsider could not look in
directly and see what was happening
1t took the gag man" to discover an
answer.
He had the leading man attach mir
ror to his cane, raise 1t above the open
transom and turn it at an angle that
revealed what was happening,

Perpetuating Film History.

HOBART B0SWORTH, a noted fig
ure of the screen, is writing the
history of his life, in connection with
the development of the motion pic
ture industry, for the California State
Library at Sacramento. He is playing
an important role in "Chickie," which
Earl Hudson is producing at the New
York studio, and between the scenes
he may be seen sitting in a secluded
corner writing notes and additions to
his history.
'Fll never forget the day we made
the first picture in Los Angeles" says
Bosworth reminiscently. 1T was on
a vacant lot In the rear of a Chinese
laundry. When we stepped onto the
lot ] nearly broke my neck over a
pile of old tomato cans and rubbish
which was covered with weeds. With
me were Betty Hart, Stella Adams,
Iva Shepard, Jimmie Crosby, Frank
Boggs, Tom Persons. now with First
National; Frank Montgomery and
James Magee. We felt pretty dismal
when we looked the place over, but
went to work and In two days had
completed our picture,
The picture was The Sultan's
Power, We started it May s, 1909,
and finished ii May 10. We moved in
those days, and it was only a one
reeler. Difficulties were met at all
sides. Everybody. was against US.
The police warned US at the start
that any actor appearing on the
street with makeup on would be ar
rested.
''The picture was a success, how
ever and we made a series of one and
two reelers. Other companies saw
what we were doing and soon Bison
came to Los Angeles. Then came
Vitagraph and Lubin, and the film
industry was started. Hollywood was

Risks Life to Make Picture

MARGUERITE DE LA MOTTE risk

thrills of 1.-THE Clean Heart" an
adoption for the screen of A S. NJ
Hutchinson's novel.
Miss De La Motto was required to
back off a cliff, slide over the en-
bankment, be caught by Percy Mar
mont and, when the lives of both
became endangered, let go her hold
and drop into the water beneath. 1t
was dangerous scene and could not
be rehearsed. The action was such
that almost the entire scene is filmed
in close-ups, so professional doubles
were out of the question.
Although Miss De La Motto is not
of the daredevil type, she made no
objection when j. Stuart Blackton
informed her of the ordeal before her
II would much rather avoid it," she
said, but If the role requires me to
perform such feats 1 will do my best,
confident that you will use every
precaution to prevent injury"
In order that no delays might re-
suit from unforeseen accident this
sequence was left until the last and
as many safety devices were pro-
vided as might be necessary in any
emergency that might occur. But 1t
was not until the scene had been
safely filmed that the anxiety of
making it began to disappear.
