Ezra Meeker and Frederick II. Chase.
Ezra Meeker, who Is probably the
oldest pioneer In America, Is known
throughout the country for his exploits
along the Oregon trail. He was one OF
the first men to reach the Northwest
in a covered wagon caravan, and subse-
quently went to Alaska and made three
trips over the Chilkoot Pass, down the
Yukon to the Klondike gold fields. At
the age of 9S he is still active, and. as
president Of the Oregon Trail Associa-
ton, he is in charge Of a campaign TO
preserve the historic spots along the
route OF the original covered wagons.
After seeing THE Trail of 49," Mr..
Meeker Is said to have declared the gold
rush scenes were so realistic that he
felt certain he had recognized his own
cabin at the foot Of Chilkoot Pass.
Frederick H. Chase, one Of the first

This knowledge of the movies. 1t is

forgotten more points on the proper
methods Of achieving effects and
touches on the screen than most stars

Emil Jannings' Acting.

EMu JANNINGS has long been
recognized as one Of the most pro-
ncient actors for the screen. The great
star. who developed his fame while
working for the T. F. A. organization
OF Germany, and most Of whose finest
Characterization were given TO the
world during that period. has become
one OF the few movie players whose face
IS not his fortune The popularity OF
the man seems TO rest entirely on his
ability.
The secret Of this ability has been
variouziy described by critics. Some
maintain that his powerful personality,
glowing through his roles, makes each
part living thing Others ascribe the
talent to hts mobile features A few
realize that technical proficiency may
play large part in his work. But the
underlying basis Of his success has
seldom been suggested, according 10 the
Motion Picture Guild.
The Guild which has always claimed
10 have rather a complete knowledge Of
motion pictures and their history. says
that Jannings Is q great movie actor
