ACTIVITY IN LUBIN LAND LUBItt PUTS UP FORTRESS GATE i " - - -r- n nu llfoj ' i ,'!' i - It What the Coming of Now Blood Means to Philadelphia's Producing Company Raymond Hitchcock Is out In Lubln Land which Is approximately 18th and Lehigh. Edgar Lewis has gone west lo film "The Great Divide" out In Arizona. All that means something. It means new energy and new Initiative In Philadel phia's own photoplay centre. Tho middle of the energy lies some where between tho desks of Ferdinand Slnghl and Ira M. Lowry. They are tho actlvo' heads of the Lubln company and they have put a whole new staff of direc tors and actors at work here and In tho Southern and Western studios. Many of these changes have already been an nounced In tho Evening Ledobh, but they are worth recapitulation. Edgar Lewis Is the most Important item. It Is only necessary to mention the features he has directed: "Sampson," "Tins Plunderer." "The Gilded Fool" and "The Bondman." lie Is now at work on his llrst big Lubln feature, "Tho Great Divide," with House Peters and Ethel Clayton. Another new director is John II. Pratt, who, too, has an enviable record of dim successes to his credit. Mr. Pratt has Just finished his first Lubln feature, the scenario of which ni written by Louis Iteevcs Harrison. Tho play benra tho title "Tho Rights of Man." Richard Ituliler and Rosetta Brlce have the lead ing roles. A third accession to the directorial ranks Is Edward McKlm. whose specialty Is light comedies. In which D. L. Don Is to be featured. Earl Metcalfe, who has been a leading man In the Lubln com pany for the last four years, Is to be comu a director of BUlle Reeves' com edies. A most valuable acquisition Is Anthony P. Kelly, whose achievements as a scenario writer have made him con spicuous. Mark Swan and Dr. Daniel Carson Goodman, both of thc-m well known nnd fertile writers, have also been added to the Lubln staff of scenario men. Down With the Paper Flowers A latterday "War of Roses" has begun, tho conflict being nothing less than a crusade waged by Harry Myers, the Victor-Universal director, against the fake flowers dear to the heart of the conventional property man. Myers says that no moro will the heroine In his pic tures, at least gurgle gleefully as Bho crushes to her bosom a sheaf of dew- drenched cambric roses, and drink In their camphorated fragrance. Nothing but tnts real thing, he adds, from now on, In proof of which he has cut out the vase or sun, dusty chrysanthemums from the centra table and In "Father's Child" and "Baby's Two Toofs" substituted a miniature Japanese garden to properly illustrate his defiance of tho ancient order of hack productions.

It is designed to servo as an impressive bit of architecture for photoplays. The latest addition to tho transconti nental chain of manufacturing plants of the Lubln Manufacturing Company at Coronado, Cal., has been formally opened nnd dedicated. Slegmund Lubln, president of the '..ubln Manufacturing Company, was present at the occasion, and delivered the address of dedication. More than SCO of the leading business men and officials of Coronado and San Diego were present, including the Mayor of Coronado and the president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. After the dedication cere mony. Manager Wllbert Melville and his staff were hosts at a lavish entertain ment, banquet and reception. Situated on the edge of San Diego Bay, directly opposite the city of San Diego, the new Lubln plant Is surrounded by a scenic Investiture which bespeaks the ar tistic taste of the one responsible for Its selection. The studio occupies same eight acres of ground. The ofllce and administration building at one end Is of most attractive and pleasing design and provides ample quarters for the office force and labora tories. At the other end of the grounds is a structure running along the edge cf the bay, 30 by 150 feet and four stories high, designed of old English castle stylo architecture. Between these two build ings aro the garage, stage, dressing rooms, storerooms, wardrobe room and the various miscellaneous buildings. The entire grounds are surrounded by an attractive and ornamental cement wall, 14 feet high. All of tho buildings. Including the stage, the carpenter shops, dressing rooms, garages, etc., are of cement. In the carpenter shops the latest woodwork ing appliances have been installed, and, in fact, this Is true In each construction department, so that the studio Is virtu ally self-contained, being In a position to manufacture all of their new costumes, furniture, props and scenery. The com fort of the performers has not been neg lected, as the dressing rooms arc all of the very latest types of cement construc tion and are provided with hot and cold water and shower baths. When the new buildings have been com pleted It Is figured that ample provision will have been mado for the production of every style of motion picture under the most favorable conditions for direc tors and actors. It Is estimated that the total cost Is something In excess of $CO,000, and, com pleting as It does a chain of Lubln studios which span tho continent, It Is a credit to the enterprise of the Lubln Manufactur ing Company. President Meets Grumpy President Wilson has finally succeeded in seeing Cyril Maude's performance of 'Grumpy" after two attempts that failed. When Mr. Maude was first appearing in the classic at Wnllack's, In New York, the President arranged to go, but at tho last moment was prevented from doing so. But he wrote Mr. Maude a note ex pressing his keen disappointment, and tl.e note is one of tho English actor'o cher ished possessions. Later Mr. Maude acted his famous character In Washington and again President Wilson was unnble to attend. So when he was In New York last week buying an engagement ring for Mrs. Gait, his choice of an evening en tertainment was naturally "Grumpy." Tiie spontaneous laughter of the Ptesl dent throughout tho performance In dicated that he had been amply repaid for his persistence. Mr. Maude said nfter the performance that he had played many times before Kings and Queens, Emperors and Czars, and at command performances of every description, but that Friday night at the Emplro was tho first time he had ever acted beforo the President of a republic CON3L R VATO RES S MU S C aw?
