Stands for Clean Pictures.

Johnnie WALKER, one OF the
clever actors of the screen. has
turned to vaudeville for change and
also to learn how ii feels to have
living audience before him.
Don't think | am putting the
screen behind me- says Johnnie. II
am not: vaudeville is to me a means
of bettering my picture work and of
gaining a knowledge of what the
public wants by seeing their rea action
to personal appearance that is not
just hello.
Vaudeville is said to have given
MIR. Walker many followers and peo-
pie who remember him, as film fans
do, to whom he has shown that he
lives his part in his screen produc-
tions. the same as Barrymore or
q Drew lives his in a legitimate play,
are now making the acquaintance of
his voice. They are getting the thrill
given by an actual personality in
stead of a camera shadow
This week the public can see him
both as he is and on the screen as
well. for Johnnie is the star of Lilies
OF the Street" Upon completion Of
his. present vaudeville tour he will
return to the West coast and con-
tinue with the production of pictures
along the lines of those that have
made him well known to fans
throughout the country.
II intend to make it a point at
all times. he says. when signing a
contract for pictures that there must
be clause permitting me to elimi-
nate any scenes which, to my mind
are Objectionable to mothers. l want
every mother to know that Johnnie
Walker pictures are pictures for
children, pictures of clean, whole

my first thought at all times and l
intend to follow this plan as long
as l am before the public in motion

II asked an actor looking for an en-
sagement for his opinion. He said:

season think they're all rotten They
don't look good to me at rehearsal
Then I asked William Anthony
Mcguire, author of 'Six-cylinder Love.
Mcguire thinks the reason the actor s
opinion is of so little value Is that he
gives himself over entirely to the
ideas of the author. and while he is
learning how to put them over he
loses track of his own opinions.

sufficiently to make them actresses.
This is a greatly mistaken idea
