Have Since Died.

MANY of the natives who appeared
A'A in white Shadows of the South
Seas" have died, victims of influenza OF
measles which swept the tropics in two
epidemics.
This tragic fact was discovered by
Ramon Novarro and his director, w. S
Van Dyke, when they went to the is
lands to film THE Pagan" a sound
synchronized film with singing Sc
quences that introduce Novarros voice
to the screen.
The director sought some of the for
mer native actors for his new picture
only to find that within few months
the two epidemics had decimated their
village.
THE Pagan" filmed in the South
Seas, is romance of an island chief
torn between the loves of white
charmer and native girl.

One Thing After Another.

"Openness and frankness and intel
ligence in the relationship of men and
women simply don't go with romance,
for there must be mystery If there Is
to be romance. And there isn't much
mystery about us these days.
"As to the breakdown of the conven-
lions regarding love and marriage, the
general wildness that everybody is talk
ing about so much" she continued, II
do not think it is so different to what
has happened again and again in the
history of the world. One needs but
little reading to perceive that. 1t is
nothing new.
Life seems to be a continual success
sion of outbursts and SuppresSions. In
some ages people are more secretlve and
formal; In others they break loose
little too much And then-weI, then
they simply swing back again.
IT still cling to the belief that the age
of romance is the happiest and that life
must have some Illusions"

pipers.
The reserves are seen coming up, led

The casual observer may feel that
dispensing with helmets is technical
error If so, the error will be on the
side Of the observer.
During the first year of the World
War Scotch companies went over the
top with their pipers playing, and the
casualties among the pipers especially
were heavy.
However, the procedure was con-
demned by an official order issued by
the British commander in-chief in
France, Field Marshal Lord French,
and the practice of dispensing with
helmets was discontinued early in 1916.

White and Black Magic

HT>HERE are two kinds of magic
white and black" says Henry B.
Walthall, screen player, who has made
an intensive study of this subject.
Most people confuse these two
phases, but there is a vital distinction
between them. White magic Is the
harmless variety, consisting Of spectacu-
lar tricks and Illusions; 1t includes what
is commonly known as legerdemain or
sleight-of-hand. Even in the Middle
Ages, when any kind Of conjuring was
under suspicion, the practitioners Of
white magic were frequently raised to
honor and their exhibitions were affairs
of great public interest.
BLACK magic, however, has always
been prosecuted, for the reason that 1t
embodies the sinister phases of the art.
Sorcery, witchcraft, the laying Of spells
and lamentations on another person, and
any sort of enchantment for q malevo-
lent purpose-such constitute black
magic, and in the past many thousands
of persons were put to death for prac-
ticing this secret craft. Witch burning

THE motion pictures, long one of the
l. most remunerative sources of profit
for the capital invested, has been made
at least so per cent more attractive
financially since dialogue and synchro-
nized effects widened its scope.
And this considering the fact" ex-
plains George Fitzmaurice, producer
director, that the so-called talking pic
ture automatically limited itself to 10
per cent of the market it formerly en-
joyed as a silent production.
$50 far only 1900 motion picture
theaters are wired for sound out of a
total Of 1900 houses. Even with this
narrowed field for distribution quicker
turnover and larger gross is had and
consequently q healthier net profit,
thus scouting the anguished cry Of sew
eral months ago that neglect of the
small, unequipped theaters would ruin
the industry.
"By reasons of competitive selling or
CARNATIONS and the fact that major
cities have from one to ten flrst-run
theaters, the average talking picture
may be expected to show IN 1900
houses"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-02
Profits in Talkies

But the most remarkable thing about
the "talkies," Fitzmaurice declares, is
that they need to play in only 1900
wired theaters to return a larger net
profit than was ordinarily expected
from a successful silent picture that had
been exhibited 5000 times.
However" he says, "it must be re-
membered that the theaters now wired
are the largest in the country. return
ing crosses as in the case of Roxy's in
New York of $4,000 on a weeks run,
and 100000 the average weekly bust
ness of the Capitol Theater in the same
city. Most of the larger sound theaters
have weekly gross income Of from
100000 up.
The "talkies," he believes, have
brought new impetus to the show bus
mess and an era of prosperity for the
exhibitor that has never seen the like
before.
Fitzmaurice says that sound pictures
can be produced for half the cost of
silent pictures. He predicts that 5000
additional theaters will be wired by the
end of 1890

From Screen to Stage.

EVELYN BRENT believes that in a
- short while the tables will be
turned and film plays will be made into
theater productions.
There has been much transferring of
successful stage plays into the films,
particularly so since the 'talkies' have
come into vogue" says Miss Brent.
There is every reason to believe that
a new writing-that of writing directly
for the 'talkie' screen, will come into
being" says Miss Brent.
That being the case, why shouldn't
the stories emanating from this in turn
be transcribed to the Stage?"
Miss Brent has made three talking
pictures-two of them being made from
well known stage plays and the third
an original screen story.

THERE is no denying the fact that
the chief obsession of the present.
day motion picture director is fear
fear of authenticity.
Modern-day picture devotees are of
the cosmopolite order-college profess
sors, scientific authorities and learned
men in other lines sit side by side with
the grocers' clerks, the bus driver, the
middle-class family, enjoying an eve
ning's entertainment in their favorite
picture house.
Obviously the picture projected on
the screen is at the mercy of the self
constituted judges and jury. In other
words-and this is a matter Of record
any slight flaw in story or action, and
especially in authenticity, means a let
ter to the studio, calling attention to
the supposed deficiency.
Thus it is the effort Of every good
director, writer, technical man, super
wiser and the like to obviate any such
contingency.

up to him on the street in Santa Bar

well known for years as Percy Haswell,

after a dozen ineffective repetitions OF
James Holland he had the inspira-
ton of borrowing his noted cousins
name, Clifford.
The director "got" the name the first
time, and the youth remained Clifford
for three years.
For some reason Henry King, his later
director, has an aversion to the name OF
Clifford. He promptly changed the
actors cognomen to John and so 1t
has been ever since. What Hollands
next name will be he has no idea, but
as he claims to be fully satisfied with

John will remain John for some time.
