afforded me Ihe opportunity to carry out
my investigation.
"I have found that people seem to like
eineuin stock companies: instead of stars.
No doubt this liking is due to the fact
that the movies arc made not onlv for
the cities vs'hcip the famous people of
the stage appear in the flesh, but for
tlie small towns, where they are used to
seeing traveling stock companies -without
anv luminaries. It is in such
places that Shakespeare's much-quoted

arios Perseverance Is Se
cret Film Flashes
Chances of success for aspiring screen
writers and the proper procedure for
those who xvish to master the art of
silver sheet authorship, have been dis
cussed by John Emerson and Anita
Loos, piobably the best known photo
play writers in America. .Xnita Loos,
whose name for the last two months
has been Mis. John Emerson, nnd her
husband are the authors of "A Temper
amental Wife," sfnrring Constuce Tnl
niadge, at the Stanley iiext xveck.
"We have no secrets,, said Mr. Hm
ersVin. "Tlie only part of photoplay
writing which seems to be the buga
boo for. amateurs is thnt difficult prac
tice of perseverance. Screen xsriting
doesn't come naturally for nny one. It'
harder to write for tne screen than it
is to become nu expert pianist. It's
Imrilpr thmi li.nrnimr n foreign lan
guage. And jet, the beginner will nine
teen times out of twenty be offended und
feel discouraged if bis early efforts arc
not bought by the producing companies
to which lie submits them."
Seven -j car-old Franlde Lee, who
plays the most important male role with
Pauline Frederick iu "Honds of Love,"
nt the Palace next xveek, had a joyous
time with one of the dumb actors in
tlie photoplay.
The silent actor is a huge, tawny
mastiff, who Is introduced dragging his
little master at the end of a leading-j
string through the parlor of Ins own
home. The boy and dog are inseparable
companions; and when the xvise old
animal is tired of letting the child
pull his ears, bite his nose, or stick Ids
fingers into his patient eyes, lie lie
down and goes to sleep, xvhile the child
pillows his little head ou the dog's
broad breast.
.fed Prouty is now convinced that it
i unlucky to xvalk under u ladder. In
"Sadie Love," tlie new Paramount -Artcraft
picture, in which Hillie Hurke
is the stur and xvhich will be seen next
xveck at the Arcadia, Prouty plays the
role of n former sweetheart of the hero
ine, who returns just utter she hns been
married to u handsome Italian count.
Refusing to give, up hope, he rewoos
tlie hrirle and secures her consent to nn
elopement. The couple plan a getaway
via the traditional ludder.
During the lilirflng of (his scene
Prouty xvas xvalking uround the "set"
while property men were preparing the
scene when Miss Hurke suddenly cried :
"Oh, Mr. Prouty. you've walked
under the ladder. Now something is
sure to happen." And it did.
Jed is a pretty stocky mun und pego
tinting the steep ascent up the ladder
wns no Joke. Hut he bravely made his
wnv tnwnrd the balcony upon xvhich
pretty Miss Hurkee xvnited. With one
foot on the railing nnd one on the top
rung of the ladder crash ! Down xveut
the ladder und cranking camera men
nud other attendants gasped, fnr they
expected to see stout Jed come tumbling
after. Hut they forgoj that Prouty is
somewhat of n "stunt" actor und looked
nloft in umnzement to see him hang for
an instnnt by one foot on the balcony
rail nnd then cleverlv druw himself up
to safety nnd Miifs Hurke.

"You have n namesake, nnd I hope
thnt she will be worthy ot her name,
ihls newborn creature Is an actress,
nlson star, playing n lending role in the
great drnmn, the wonders of which no
playwright's Imagination has been nble
to conceive. She is monstrous, vie

has the homeliness of Cyrano, for her
nose is huge ; she has the grace and
beauty of lloxanc for her form is sym
metric; she has the richness of voice,
the sincerity of purpose of no one but
Miss Anglln herself. Hut before the
