Tho Now York Motion Picture Com
pany Is to be on the outside as far as
the Mutual Service Is concerned after
floptcmbcr IS. The president of the Mu
tual Film Corporation asked tho New
York Motion Picture Corporation to
withdraw Its productions from the Mu
tual program after that date. This was
done more or less becduso the president
of tho Mutual believed the Now Vork
corporation was to withdraw nnyway,
and In tho parliinco whs simply "beating
them to It." The New York Motion Pic
ture Corporation Is to ally ItBcIf with the
Triangle.
For the Mutual the following plans
nave oeen compieteil: Two three-reel tei
turca with Broadwny stnrs In tho lending
roles will be rclcasejl each week; the
Knickerbocker stnrs, now releasing
through the (loncra!, will be ndded to
the Mutual program. There will Jo flvo
new comedy releases each week. Tho
first will bo tho new Cub cOmcdles, with
George Ovey featured and David Horslcy
ns producer. Others are Ilenuty Come
dies and n new Fnlstaff comedy. Tho
Falstnff will have a specially engaged
company of Kngltsh players Imported
for this particular brand of subleets.
Tho two-reel pictures will hereafter be
known as tho Mutual Banner features,
among which there will be rclcnscd each
week hereafter a brand, known ns tho
Mustang dramas. Contracts were signed
last week with tho Gaumont company
for a new spilt reel each week to be
half scenic nnd hnlf cartoon.
Chattanooga has been an Essanay town
for tho last four months, Slnco tho nr
rlval of Captain F. H. Calvert with 20
players from the Chicago studio of tho
Essanay Company, to produce pictures In
Chattanooga, and particularly in tho
mountains irear hero, tho people of Chat
tanooga havo treated the visitors royally.
The company Is spending tho summer
on Signal Mountnin, minutes from
Chattanooga by trolley and MOO feet
above tho sea lovel. In addition to tho
beautiful scenic effects that enn bo se
cured In this section, almost every Inch
of ground has some historical Interest to
offer. Many -pictures have already been
filmed In the exact locations that history
has designated,
With tho nld of the Pnn-Cro system of
interior lighting. Director Calvert has not
found It necessary to construct any In
terior sets.
Beautiful homes, with real Chattanooga
eoclety people as tho extras, havo been
graciously thrown opcli to him, as has
me country Club and tho Superior
Courtroom, with tho real Judge, Jurors,
spectators carrying out those parts In
the picture.
Perhaps tho most Interesting work Di
rector Calvert will turn out this summer
he Is working on them now Is the fa
mous "Tlsh" stories, as they appeared
!n the Saturday Evening Post, by Mary
Roberts ninehcart.
