Old.Time Memories

ION the Pathe set where they were

sell Mack snapped yarns of old-time
stock companies and road show players.
Horton declared that his favorite
dealt with an Uncle Toms Cabin"
troupe which was touring the hinter-
lands. The scene where Simon Lee
gree is supposed to shoot Lawyer Marks
had been worked up to an unusual
frenzy one evening, when the revolver
failed to go of. The actor playing Le-
gree stood helplessly clicking the gun in
his hands. Suddenly his vis-a-vis had
an inspiration. He clutched his heart
and rolled over, groaning.
s''Ye gods, that old heart trouble
again!" he cried and obligingly died.
However, Mack countered with q yarn
which evidenced considerable ingenuity
also.
A ne-night-stand troupe was putting
on a play wherein the big climax de-
manded a boat rocking on the waves,
with three men in it struggling for their
lives. Twenty yokels were hired to sim
under the canvas sea, raising and lower
ing his shoulders at intervals. The
scene was working to its pitch. Every
one was tense. Suddenly one wave
burst to disclose lanSy farmer clad in
a red shirt. The players were petrified.
Then one bright lad rose to his feet
and yelled, Man overheard"

thespian when the catcalls Of the au-
dience had subsidized Mack does not

Newsreels and Airplanes.

MOTION picture newsreels are up
: In the air.
That does not mean that those who
record the news of the day In pictures
have lost their heads because of the ne
cessity for adding sound to the film.
1t is in an entirely physical sense
that the newSreels have gone into
the air. In other words, news photog-
rapherS now use airplanes almost ex-
clusiVely for transportation when a hot
story breaks far from headquarters. BY
this method. pictures of public events
disasters and sports happenings are
brought to the theater very much faster
than In the silent days.
Before the coming of sound, the vari-
Gus newsreel organizations had working
agreements with photographers in al
most every city in the world to send
them pictures of any big news event
As a result, miles and miles of film
rolled into New York every week. APP
proximately 80 per cent of the subjects
received had to be thrown away, be-
cause those isolated cameramen Just
couldn't think news in its worldwide
proportions, but insisted that If the
mayor of Podunk laid a corner stone
it was a story worthy Of being shown
in all of Americas theaters.
The addition of the microphone to
the camera changed all that, however
Sound recording requires a staff of four
or five skilled technicians and equip
ment weighing at the very least 300
pounds and often half ton.
Now, instead of employing amateur
or commercial photographers on a
piece-work basis, Paramount's newsreel
as well as others in the field have
solved the problem of establishing per-
manent groups of expert cameramen,
sound technicians and modern equip
ment at strategic points over the sur
face of the earth and depending upon
the airplane to move these units at ter
rife speed to places where they are
most needed.
They do not stop there. Newsreel
officials, mostly recruited from the
newspapers, realized that it would not
do to sit about and wait for things
to happen. Smaller groups of camera
men and sound recorders, with their
equipment mounted in ships or on fast
automobiles, were ordered to operate

Palace Theater
The entire production unit went to
New York from Hollywood several
months ago to take the "shotSp of the
flaming haired Miss Bow and her sup
porting players in places called for in
the plot and action of the play.
One of the scenes requires Miss Bow
to run to an IL" station, dash up the
steps and catch train which she rides
to far uptown point. A special ele-
waited train was arranged for through
the Interboro Rapid Transit and the
actual trip of several miles was made as
the camera clicked the action.
Other shots were made in an Automat
restaurant and in fashionable wom-
ans apparel shop. AS the heroine Miss
Bow is an ambitious usherette in a big
movie palace, who gains fortune
through lucky turn of fate, although
she also meets crook, falls in love
with him and almost gets arrested

TWO other ladies tried to entertain
= us last week with much less sasas-
factory results. Mary Hay, erstwnil1
known In musical comedy, and EEIkh
Meiser, who has appeared In stock"
and vaudeville. were the authors. and
their little play was called "GfeatEr
Love-" Both acted IN ~.
The story mainly concerned the d.
votion Of little Peter Cornish MAS
Hay for her brother. Oliver. Oliver
went to war and came home with n
badly SCARED face. His fiance, Gym
quence. Oliver, already sensitive and
moody, became more so. A nice young
boy wanted to marry Peter" and the
latter wanted to marry him, but
wouldn't, because she felt that Oliver
needed her more.
The family life wasn't very happy.
Mr.. Cornish had once been a news
paper man, but his silly wife had made
him give that up before they were mar
ried, and he had never succeeded IN
business. Glen Cornish, Peters sister,
once spoke bitterly of her fathers lack
of success and Mr.. Cornish, who over
heard, after telling his other two chill
dren q rather mournful allegorical story,
went into the next room and shot him
self. That. seemingly, was one example
OF the greater love-"
Oliver finally made a great success
with his novels-enough so that he
could go back to Europe and have his
face made good as new. In the last
act we see him in q dinner jacket and
with an expensive fur coat. Cynthia,
his long-lost love, who has had hus-
band, children and many sentimental
adventures in the meantime, comes
back to see him, his old passion flames
up and he tells her that he is going
away with her. In great excitement he
orders the maid, Clara, to pack his bag,
when the faithful little Peter comes
in, discovers what is up and forbids
her brother to go. He will never be
happy with Cynthia, she says, nor write
any good novels. Cynthia only wants
to show her power over him. I So Oliver
decides not to stay with Peter as the
last curtain falls, and what becomes of
poor, patient young Stephen Gordon.
who has been waiting about all these
10 years for Peter, isn't explained.
A very earnest and amateurish piece,
not greatly assisted by its players. The
authoresses take the pen names of
Bruce Spaulding and Anthony Baird.

TALKING pictures are 10 years old
Although the real development Of
this form of entertainment has come
during the past four years, the first
talking films were actually exhibited ir
New York on February IT, 1918, says
Jesse L. Lasky, one Of filmland's pioneer
producers.
Lasky points out that on this date
Thomas Edison presented showing OF
the cameraphone, or talking motion pic
ture, as it was called then, at the Colo
NAL Theater. The program consisted OF
a scene from Julius Caesar" violin
solo, short talk explaining the device,
a vocal solo and piano number.
Experimentation WIS not well done
but this made little difference, since
there were no close-ups and lips could
not be read from full-figure shot
Reviewers were only mildly interested
and the device soon was withdrawn
from the market" says Lasky.
THE making of these talking pictures
was childs play compared with the film
ing of sound productions today. Then
the camera was attached to recording
machine behind 1t by wire pulley, and
as the camera crank turned the two
were synchronized. Voices were picked
up by huge horn extended above the
heads of the players.
Nevertheless, this system was strik-
ingly like that in use today. We use
the experimentation between camera
and sound-recording equipment, but the
process Is more involved and there are
great masses of equipment to secure
perfection. Today microphone swings
above the heads of the players.
"T'he early sOllnd picfIIra makers uaro
limited to scenes of seven minutes, since
this was the capacity of the disk record
Today our sound reels are in 800 to
1000 foot lengths and limited in dura-
ton only to sustain the interest and
not because of any mechanical nee Y.
When these early sound p ;
were projected another long wire ;
stretched from the projection m ..e
along the ceiling of the theater to a
large photograph behind the scresn. If
both machines failed to start at once.

1he burleSque musical comedy has

structure Of all comedy and therefore

"Slapstick and burlesque are one and

most primitive and for that reason the
most Instructive forms of comedy, but
their rlS4es ere eternal and universal.

We have amusing comedy, marriage

The objects of Miss Crother's kindly

trips abroad, but this time they Ike 1t
In quite special way when both md

Lingard has a perfectly good husband
at home, of whom she is genuinely
fond. however prosaic he may seem in
comparison with her romantic Britisher,

Tne ladies return to Iowa and their
SWANS follow after. There is admirable
comedy, especially with the silly but
likeable Emmie, and her rhapsodizing
about the mellow charm Of Europe and
how much harder it is to know just
what is right and what is wrong in af-
fairs of the heart, in the clear air of
the Mississippi plains, than 1t is in the
beguiling haze of Paris, and also with
her absurd attempts TO keep Mr.. Lin

work than she has with these two
American women, who make fools Of

surrender to the glamour of the Old
World, the desperate seriousness of their

standable and likeable all through. The
spectator 1aughts at them, likes them
