Making Mud Hole in Desert

ONE Of those mysterious movie tele-
grams, headed Winfield Sheehan"
and signed "Raoul WALSH" supplies tie
almost incredible information that eN-
gifsyers of The Fox Corporation are en-
gagged in making mud hole in the Ari-
IONA Desert covering 200 acres. This is
not q case of making mud pies for fun,
but a serious effort in behalf of the au-
thenticity of "The Big Trail" which Is
to give q panorama Of the entire covered
wagon train (n0t traiD, with its 1900
people, $500 head of cattle, and 500
horses, oxen and mules, made up of
early pioneers, which first blazed the
way through virgin forests, over rugged
mountains and through the parched
desert to the Great Northwest.
It's a colossal effort on the part OF
the Fox picture makers to get things a.
near what they actually were when the
first overland caravan Of early pioneers
opened up the Far West country; one Of
those wonderful undertakings which the
movie never shirks when It goes aftse
what it wants.
RaouI Walsh Is directing 1.-THE BID
Trail" and at his request the engineerA
had to divert 10000, 600 gallons Of watsf
from the Colorado River to make tn
mud hole, in which are pictured some g
the hardships endured by the original
settlers Of the Far West In the eAf1&
days Of this country.

New Grazing Film.

4 EVE with her lambs, the lambs
gamboling on q hillside in Spring,
large fiocks Of sheep peacefully graz
ing-these are subjects that long have
appealed to painters of pastorals. They
also add interest and pictorial beauty
to the one-reel educational film, "Or
a Thousand Hills" contribution from
the Forest Service, released recently
through the Office of motion pictures,
Department of Agriculture.
The film outlines the fundamentals
OF range management for the nnainte-
nance OF pasture for sheep in the West.
Most OF the scenes we're made on range
areas In the intermountain region and
in the Southwest. Titles tell us that
good feed makes fat lambs, fat lambs
make prosperous stockmen, good man.
agement of range plants makes GOOD
feed, and that good management con-
sists of open herding, new bed grounds
each night and deferred grazing.
Although the film was made primarily
to show ranchmen the advantage OF
maintaining good range for their
sheep and how to do 1t. the women
and children of the family ana the
public generally will enjoy the pictr% al
beauty of thousands OF sheep grazing

out the fact that most Of the publishers
had already adopted as q standard the

The Snoring Picture cAlbnm
BY Robert e. Sherwood.

TT, Is and odd and ironic situation
= in which the movie industry finds
itself these days. For filn magnates
are doing their utmost to kill, cook and
devour the theater's goose, and at the
same time they are depending on 1t
for their daily sration Of golden eggs.
The supposedly moribund tfaeater Is
now the source Of 90 per cent Of the
ideas and the talents that go into the
making Of Hollywood's motion pictures.
The celluloid merchants are making
scant effort to stimulate the creation
Of ideas or the development Of talents
within their own colossal industry.
They are complacently waiting for the
theatrical managers to discover and
exploit the playwrights, directors, actors
material for the movie mills next year
and in the years to follow.
Unfortunately, most Of the theatrical
managers are being ruined by COMPETE
ton from talking pictures and thus
are finding 1t increasingly difncult to
carry on the great work of discovery.
Suppose that the young and obscure
insurance adjuster, r. G. Sheriff, had
gone first to the movie producers with
his manuscript Of Journeys End"
Would they have recognized in, it work
Of genius and acquired 1t instantly for
production on the screen? Would they
even have bothered to read it?
They would not. They would have
told young Mr.. Sheriff. to 60 out and
get himself reputation before daring
to talk to them-just as they did with
an actor named James Gleason when he
tried to sell them the rights to play
he had written called rs Eat SOP"
(Mr. Gleason, OF course, subsequently
made fortune from lis Eat SOP" and
Is now an esteemed and prosperous
actor and writer of dialogue for the
talkies In Hollywood.)

THERE Is hardly movie fan In the
world who will not regard with
sympathetic understanding recent ex-
travagance committed by Samuel H.
Watts, Wall Street broker, who resides
in New Canaan, Conn.
Mr.. Watts is himself a movie fan,
but he has positive tastes in screen
entertainment. He has also enough
wealth to enable him to crafty an
occasional whin. and last week he in
dulged himself in remarkably luxury
He chartered the one and only motion
picture palace in New Canaan for one
evening and presented in 1t the sort OF
show that he himself likes to see.
The show consisted entirely of news
reels and animated cartoons.
Mr.. Watts would seem to be not only
a highly intelligent individual, but q
singularly delightful one. II he would
only leave Wall Street and 20 in for
movie production he might easily give
us Just the sort Of pictures for which
we have so long been waiting.

OF Course, They re Funny.

RACK in-well anyway. way back, IN
- point of years-Marie Dressler was
a chorus girl in Weber g. Fields produc-
tions. And Joe Weber hadn't seen Miss
Dressler since those balmy days until
by chance he ran into her recently on
the Hollywood lot.
Said he to her, Marie, you aren't as
slim and pretty as you used to be, but
you're four times as funny" Where
upon they both laughed and then went
over to see Polly Moran, who was de-
claiming before small. but polite group
on the lavishness of the M-G-M pro-
duction Caught Short"
This, ladies and gentlemen" Polly
was saying, "has all the earmarks OF q
De Mile spectacle-orgy. Why we even
have a bathtub Ia De Mile, even II
it's construction is only tin, still -"
And she would have continued II Miss
Dressler hadn't sedately punched her
in the eye, which polite disturbance Is
equal In dramatic intensity to some OF
the fights currently visible in the Dress
ler-Moran picture at the Columbia.
Who says Marie and Polly are not
funny?

Doings on Broadway
News and Comment of the Theater.
By Percy Hammond.

TT Is rumored that Mr.. Conan medi-
Carolyn Wells would say, from
i works already played and from 9TH
ers now swelling in his mind. There
was q time when MIR. Conan was aweary
of 1t all and threatened to quit the thea
ter for pursuits less trivial. But now 1t
seems that he has reconsidered his abdi-
cation and will remain on the Job. With
q program of successes past and to come,
he should be able to continue his tired
sway as Americas most favorite actor,
excepting. Of course. the pets OF the
cinema.
A revival of "The Tavern" served very
well on Monday night at the Fulton as
the base Of the promising institution.
To its burlesque Of bad plays and bad
acting Mr.. Conan was q spendthrift
contributor, performing the role Of q
gentle lunatic with all the Conan ennuied
gusto. The travesty suffers little in
It's effect because It ridicules form OF
entertainment known only to the @. A.
r. of playgoers. More ludicrous types
are now available to the destructive
satirist. "The Tavern" however, con-
tains one precious speech which is here
recommended to the consideration of
Professors William Lyon Phelps and
George P. Baker of Yale among numer-
Gus other distinguished educators. The
keeper of the booby-hatch from which
the stranger is fugitive Is describing
him in sentimental terms: HE Is sane, "

Taught to Teach, Not to Act.

IT was because the theatrical life un-
expectedly offered her a steady job,
when school teaching offered only Sub
stitute work." that Mary Carr became
one of the screens best known char
acter actresses instead Of . school
teacher.
Mrs. Carr, who recent, completed q
role with Benny Rubin in Tifany's
Hot Curves" was graduated from the
State Normal College Of Pennsylvania
with the ambition to be o school teacher.
But she was offered an ingenue role in
o play with Henrietta Crosman, in the
old Girard Avenue Theater, and ac-
cepted it. primarily because 1t meant
immediate, steady work. She didn't
have to get money, but she couldn't
stand idleness when she felt that she
had prepared herself to do something.
There were too many girls trained to
teach In those days, and I believe that
the stage really was short OF actresses"
she explained. "It seemed Q fad to
raise daughters to be school teachers"

Americans have developed the unique
ability to combat the disagreabIe with
amusing ironic slang phrases, such as
hash singer, tightwad, has been, lame
brain, four fiusher, chin music, etc.
Dumb-bell is one of the most commonly
used, applied to dub any one who does
not catch joke quickly.
