THE NEW BROADWAY i . V SMWlfcSlHB

Some Sights on the 60-Mile
Street of Filmdom That
Begins in Los Angeles
Out at the other end of Nowhere Is a
street that has been christened the New
Broadway, writes Henry MacMahon tn
the New York Times. J differs from the
.-th-to-50th street district of New York In
that it is CO miles long. Along It one
passes Triangle, Universal. Lasky. Qual
ity. Famous. Balboa, National and other
names that are or will be 'fire-lit around
4d street and Broadway.
But the greatest distinction of this
street is the actors. "Broadway has
come out and planted Itself in Los An
geles!" as a native proudly expresses It.
Any bright morning nowadays you can
see De "Wolf Hopper, like an overgrown
schoolboy, creeping unwillingly to Grif
fith's school; Raymond Hitchcock and
Eddie Foy going stoically to the dally
hazing at Sennett's Keystone; Francis
X. Bushman exposing his facial charms
to the desert air; matinee idols galore
hurrying to Tom Ince's Santa. Ynex Can
Yon; actresses of 10 on their way from
the wrinkle remover's parlor to the gare
of the merciless camera; queenly Lillian
Glsh and regal Mae Marsh driving about
like princesses: ex-stage directors, con
verted Into photographic experts, sol
emly weighing affairs of state; Mexican
Indiana and soldiers. Orientals, police
men, cowboys, hourls. nautch girls trav
eling carelessly up and down the 60-mile
stretch In enormous autobuses.
A strange land, this. Everybody has
lost his or her voice. The ghosts fn the
Elyslan Fields that the ancients pictured
were not less voiceless than these mum
mers. All day long, when not driving
to and fro on the broad highway, they
ffhlsper. -whisper, whisper before the
camera at Intervals chattering and
speaking a little in their own proper
persons as did the Roman ghosts at mid
night when Caesar fell.
The average actor, I find, hikes out to
this lotus-land, carrying a large sense

machine flabbergasts him. He simply
cannot get a rise out of It. No hand
claps, no cheers, no murmur of apprecia

that the common or garden members of
the stock company are "taking it away
from him," ta use stage parlance. That
spurs his ambition. He condescends to
notice the new art and considers It seri
ously. Here Is where the director steps
in. He encourages the actor to think and
apply his facial and gestural resources
to the new technique. After a tew ses
sions the Broadway tenderfoot has for
gotten all about "spotlight" and "stage
centre" ard "stellar Jealousies," recog
nizes the stock actors as fellow humans,
and starts in to co-operate enthusiastical
ly In making a big picture.
Not all of them stand on their Span

took to the filming but not the haxlns
like a duck to water. John Emersoa
would rather fight over the true course
of scenario plots than eat. Rozslka Dolly

The Broadwayites are so " hungry for
applause that when somebody organizes,
a stage benefit In Los Angeles they pile
over each other getting on the band
wagon and offering to appear as their
old stage selves before the public far a
night. Some of them are homesick. Alt
are hustling. Most are getting- rich, even
though spending grandly as foe spends In
a lotus-land. The best are readily con
tributing something to the new art: the
others flit in and out. And their faces
