CHAPTER XII
I WAS shocked at the tone of dis
courtesy, almost of contempt. But at
the same moment Roland wheeled
around.
"I'm not made out of rubber!" he
snapped.
I can hnrdly describe how I fe't, how
endangered were all my ideals by these
few words; the sense of personal shame
and anger I felt ; the sense of tears.
But at the same time, Roland saw rac
approaching and stiffened even stlffer
than before. He wns put out, confused.
uncertain. I hardly -knew whether he
was going to back away or come toward
me.
Suddenly ho came to me, nnd the
blonde lady, turning, eaw him, saw me,
and rose. She looked from one to the
other nnd caught my eyes. I looked
back, my soul bured, I fear, and my
love for Roland shining in my eyes.
She made a movement forwnid, as if
to cocr Roland, and ho confronted me,
abashed.
"How did you get in?" he asked,
uoc even caning me by name.
"The girl told me to come."
"You shouldn't have. We're in the
middle of a scene. This isn't allowed.
Plente go. I'll write to you."
He said all this in an impersonal way.
as if lie were ordering' his dinner. The
blonde woman stood beside him. He
turned to her.
"This is Miss Moreland, Almn. Miss
Audrey."
I nodded. She nodded. I turned.
"I'm very sorry," 1 said, nnd then
walked slowly away, trying to keep
irom tailing.
I don't remember lenving tho build
ing. I don't recall having pnsed the
telephone girl with her impudently curi
ous stare. When I came to myself it
was to find mjself on a shabby, dingy
street, filled with cheap, smelly shops,
and througed with untidy, foreign-looking
woman with dirty children clinging
to their skirts. They, too. stared at
me curiously. I was as completely lost
as if I had been in some strange, for
eign land.
I turned helplessly to an old woman
wearing a wig which could never have
been intended to deceive any one still
having the gift of sight.
"Would you be good enough to tell
mo where I am?" I nsked. "I fear I am
lost. But sho only laughed stupidly
in reply.
I looked about me for some street sign
thnt would give me some clue to what
part of tho city I was in. I was
vaguely frightened, I scarcely knew
why. But, on reaching the corner of the
street where the lgn should have been,
I found nothing that could help me. To
my great joy I saw n policeman ap
proaching. I could liavo thrown my
arms about him ; never had I been so
glad to see the uniform before!
"Oh, please, officer! Can you tell me
how to get to tho ferry to ? I have
quite lost my way."
"I should say you had!" Ho smiled
down at mo in n paternal fashion from
his great height. "Why. if you went
one block further, you d be clear to
the river. And it's th? other river
ou'll be wanting. Now, look here,
voune lndv. the best thine you can do
is to walk down this nvenue for four
blocks. You can get a ear thero that
will take you clear ncross town, anil
you'll only be a short walk from jour
ferry then.
I thanked him warmly, but hesitated
a minute before mnklng my next re
quest. "Is thero anything else I can do for
you?" ho asked, noting my 'embarrass
ment.
"Are you going down thnt way?
Might might I walk down with jou?"
I stammered. "These people look so
queer, I'm afraid of them !"
"Sure you can," he laughed. "They
do look a bit queer until you're used
to them. But you'd be perfectly safe in
the daytime, anyway. They're mostly
Wons and Kikes." he assured mo.
T hadn't tho most remote Idea
what nationality "Wops" and "Kikes"
belonged. I was perfectly willing 'o
believe that they would do me no harm
but I availed myself of bis permis
sion to accompany him, nevertheless.
Once at tho desired corner, he waited
politely until mj car camo in sight. I
gave him my best smile, by way of
thanks. ,
Once on the car, I resolved to put
all thoughts, of Roland's treatment of
me out of my mind until I was safely
locked In my own room. know that no

IWio York and said he would place

Find Stock Company Best
for Casting Photoplays
MORE than two .cars ago Goldwyn
engaged a number of well-known
actors and installed at the Culver City
studios a stock company known ns the
Goldwyn Repertory Co. The idea, in
its actual working out, is so successful
thnt tho arrangement is being contin
ued. Instead of hnving to hunt up tho
players for every part in a new produc
tion nmnng the actors then at liberty
in the film colony or importing plajers
from New York, if any were at the
moment available, nearly every role can
bo apportioned out among tho stock
players, just "as is tho case with a stage
stock company.
Occasionally a suitnblo player for a
certain part is not lound in the com
pany, but in nt least nine enses out of
ten the casting director can find the
player right at hand. This saves time,
annoyance nnd expense. Furthermore,
tho players become accustomed to acting
together; they learn each other's pecu
liarities and know how to act up to
them or to soften them down.
QJOME of the players in tho repertory
s-J company were unknown to the
screen world when they joined tho or
ganization : now they arc screen favor
ites. They liavo appeared in the casts
of tho biggest plnys that Goldwyn has
made, in tli light of comedies, and
many of them in Uie two-reel "Kit

The roster of tho icpertory company

ELINOR GLYN WILL
PRODUCE PICTURES
FOR HERSELF NOW
By CONSTANCE PALMER
, Hollywood, Cnllf.
MRS. ELINOR GLYN, whoso ori
ginal story, "The Great Moment,"
starring Glorln Swanson, hnn just
been finished by Famous Playcrs-
T.noVv. Is returning in n few wccKS to
England, where she will produce pic
tures. She feels thnt she has learned
enough in her stay here to make her
success nn an Independent producer as
sured. Sho will not only finance the
proposition, but supcrvlso the direction
of her pictures. So bo it.
. Conversation overhenrd In crowd
leaving n preview (first showing) of n
now production; First actor appearing
in plcturo to second actor appearing in
picture "Bill, you were great 1 How
was I?"
Lorna Moon, who for some time was
a writer for 0. B. do Millc, has been
transferred to tho general stnff of the
studio. Her first production will be
"Too Much Wife,," starring Mny .uac
Avoy, nnd will be Miss MncAvoy's next
effort after "A Virginia Courtship,"
which is now being directed by Frank
O'Connor, is finished.
VIANNA KNOWLTON, the girl
picked from the rnnks by William
dc Millc to be trnined by him ns a
writer, has mndc good nnd is plnced on
Mr. dc Mlllc's regular staff. Before her
inception into our group of artistic
struggiers she wrote some short stories,
I believe, nnd was a manager of pa
gennts. This combination seemed to fit
her peculiarly for her present work,
giving her not onTy training in the
juggling of words, but nn eye for
grouping of nrtlstic theatrical effect.
I told you Howard linoblocic's a nice
mnn. He gave William D. Taylor, the
Realart director who has gone to
Europe to recover his health nnd to in
vestigate, the key to his lovely apart
ment n Piccadilly, where Mr. Taylor
will live while he is in London. His
investigations will take him to Ger
many, where ho will see just what Is
the cause of the calamity howlers' song
nbout German films disrupting tho mar
ket. Since his army service Mr. Tay
lor has been one of the most active in
helping tho disabled war vcternns, so
white he Is abroad he will do some work
in tho interests of tho Hollywood Post
of the American Legion. Just why I
don't know, but the fact remains thnt
the Los Angeles Chnmber of Commerce
has enli3tcd his services while he Is
abroad, too. For a busy man, there
ain't no pursuit of health.
TO SHOW thnt Will Rogers has a
true and healthy sense of humor he
can tell a joke on himself. Recently ho
visited his old home In Oklahoma. He
was met nnd greeted heartily by one of
his friends: "Glad to sec you, Bill.
Where have you been all these years?"
Such is fame!
Here's jour chnnce, girls! Richnrd
Dlx. the star Goldwyn is so feverishly
exploiting just now, announces in fer
vid terms through his inspired press
agent that he wants to get married, nnd
even outlines his qualifications by Ray
ing he has played in three domestic
drammcrs, being tho husband or hus
bands of Lcatrlco Joy, May Collins
and HelcncChndwick, respectively. I
think a man that uses that sort of
publicity ought to bo lynched. To my
mind, it is extremely undignified nnd
very cheap. Having spoken my mind
rnthcr frtely, I feel much better.

Ralph ' Graves, tho "strong"
brother in D. W. Griffith's "Dream
Street," mado a pcrsonnl appearance
with Charllo Mack at tho opening of
a new thentro in Wilmington, Del.
Many Old Family Carriages
i Regenerated for Film Play
OIjU carriage shops (there are still
a few of them left) nnd museums
were ransacked for their oldest car
riages for the George Fltzmauricc pro
duction, "Peter Ibbctson," now under
production in tho Lasky Eastern Stu
dios.
For days property men haunted old
storerooms nnd finally succeeded in ob
taining nearly n dozen horse-drawn
vehicles of the types used in England
in the Vlctorlnn era. Broughams,
coaches and victorias were brought out,
cleaned, repainted, and in most in
stances, repaired, for they hod depre
ciated in the years they had lain idle
in dusty shops.
One brougham was the property of
the Vanderbllt family, of Is'ew York,
two generations ago. The carringe
doors Mill contain the family monogram
in gold. A conch, employed by Mr.
Fitzmnurice in the earlier episodes of
the picture, is of the type used through
out Europe nnd America in the first
years of the nineteenth century. It wns
from this typo of convcynncc that the
Western stage conch was evolved.
Tho conch used In "Peter Ibbctson"
wns found in Montclnlr, N. J., the
property of n family which hns owned
it since the days of Androw Jackson.
The coaches and smnrt carriages ap
peared effectively in tho picture in the
exterior scenes of Covcnt Garden, Lon
don. The Covcnt Garden sets were
built from photographs and paintings
which appeared in tho London Graphic
and the Sketch at the time of tho action
portrayed.

MOST of the prominent directors of ,'
today aro cither heading their own t

directly responsible to the public for '
wnnc no presents on mo screen. Thu
to my mind, tho greatest problem of th
modern director is tho matter of givinr
tho publio what it wanta in tho way it
likes best.
Tho best director today is the man
who is most sensitive to the desires of
tho publio. The most unsuccessful di
rectors of today are the men who gn
Mindly nncau, placing their own ideals
foremost regardless of whether they nro
ten years ahead of or bdifnd tho public,
Realizing that his greatest problem Ii
to givo tho public what it wants, th
director is next confronted with th.
situation of how and where ho is to get A'l
luia inniLTiui.
THE wild rush for famous books anil
plays has at Inst halted due to the
fact that producers are beginning t6
rcnllzo how foolish il the tremeudoui
expenditure for sudi mntcrinl. I ra0st
cases such stories ns irtc purchased am
changed nnd revamped until not even
the tltlo remains. Tho epidemic among
producers to get fumous stories at any
cost lias boosted un tho Price for uefi
material to a point where it is no longer '
good business to miy tins material. Thii
is brought about by the fact that the
prico for stories of ttilrf nature takes so
much money from tho appropriation on
a plcturo that tho balanco is not suffi
cient to stage the story properly.
Producers aro seeing tho llitht it
Inst. If they will fltand pat, prices on h
tlita mntnrlnl vtl1 nnlnn rlmi'n fn n i.aU.
where their purchauo will bo within
reason.
PERSONALLY', I have always been
against the outlay of small fortunes
in ordtr to get popular story mutcrlil.
The time has como when tho most prom
inent authors of tho day are now writ
ing directly for the screen.
This movo is tho most sensible effort
to get the best motion-picture mate
rial that has ever been made since the
inception of the business. It is also the
cause for tho downfall of the eater
scramble for bigh-prlccd books and
plays.
The director who is not able himself
to creoto story after story for screen
presentation nnd very few ars mut
then look to tho recognized authors of
tho day for his story material. To a
certain degree ho can encourage new
geniuses among the public and in the
business and perhaps find nn occasional
gem, but for the backbono of his lit
erary supply he must look to the recog
nized writers.
HAVING tho fundamental materltl
from this source, the director must
Hien depend solely upon his own capa
bilities In presenting this matter to the
public in the most acceptable manner,
Ah a matter of courso ho must have
n capablo cast nnd technical staff. These
arc his brushes, tho story his colors
nnd the screen his canvas. Tho day is
nt hand when tho director receives the
chief criticism.
