Guthrie Very Particular.

GUTHRIE McCLINTIC is one of the
~ famous directors of the stage, and
has directed some of its stellar celebri-
ties. He had to wait until he fell into
movie directing, however, before he d.
rected himself.
When George Middleton's story, now
known as the talking picture "Once a
Sinner" was being put into celluloid,
McClintic was its director. And to him
the smallest details in a scene are quite
as worthy of careful attention and
faithful reproduction as the big things
There is a scene in the picture in
which Joel McCrea, as the deserted
husband, goes to the information desk
of the American Express Company in
Paris to inquire about his missing wife
dorothy MackailD, who according to
the story had abandoned him. Now
there wasn't the least bit of trouble Ia
getting Mr.. McCrea to do his stuff as
it should be done, but, strange to say,
the young man who was endeavoring
to play the part of the clerk In the
express ONCE had his own views as to
how things should be done. Once, he
was corrected; twice, the correction
was urged upon him, and for the third
time, Mr.. Guthrie McClintic himself
introduced the stunt Of firing the young
man and playing the part himself.
Result, a satisfied director and a
sadder but wiser extra In the movie
profession.

the song. Il have printed them as
curiosity, never having seen them in

The Cider Cellars was the original Of
the Black Kitchen in "Pendennis :"
Hodgen. whose singing Of THE Body
Snatcher" was heard by Warrington
and Pendennis. was suggested to
Thackeray by Ross and his dreadful
song. The Cider Cellars was in Maiden
Lane, Covent Garden. Hodgen, as the
Snatcher, set on a coffin with a flask
of gin before him, with spade and a
candle stuck in a skull The singers
voice went down so low that its grllm-
bles rumbled into the hearers awe
stricken soul; and in the chorus he
clamped with his spade and gave a
demoniac 'Ha! Hal which caused the
very glasses TO culver on the table as
with terror"
How did Sam Hall" find its way to
the Indian Territory? Was 1t first sung
there by some disgraced younger son
who could not live in England? BY
some adventurous cockney? Questions
not easy to answer, any more than what
the sirens sang. though Sir Thomas
Browne assures us that this is not be-
yond all conjecture. Did Ross write the
words Of Sam Hall? II not, where
did he find them?

Sot on Silents.

CHARLES SPENCER CHAPLIN de-
~ clares fatty that he regards the
talking picture as an inferior medium
Of screen entertainment to the silent
Aim, and backs his opinion with 81 $780,
900 OF his own money, S00, 900 feet Of
film footage, three years Of his time
and a motion picture comedy entitled
city Lights" which will have its New
York premiere at the George M. Cohan
Theater during the first week OF Feb
ruary.
Although "City Lights" is synchro-
nized with sound effects and with music
composed in the main by Mr.. Chaplin,
the human voice Is not heard at any
time. 1t Is the comedians contention
that dialogue limits the field of express
sion, and, being primarily pantomine
artist, he regards silence as the best
medium for him and the character he
portrays. ChapliH. points out that he
Is not being prejudiced in the stand he
has taken, but that he Is merely carry
ing on in what he believes a superior
art form.
From sources close to Chaplin one
learns that his enthusiasm for city
Lights" is greater than 1t has been for
any film he has made. He further be-
lieveS that this production will pave the
way for more non-dialogue pictures.
