One. of those difficult character things, I menn, that aro always in demand nnd that few people can get nway with satisfactorily. . . .. r 'When Griffith's "Dream Street" opened in this city several of the actors and actresses came hero to see it. Miss Dempster, Ralph Graves and Charlie Mack (I'll tell you the wonderful story of that boy somu day soon) were in the theatre tho opening night. , Later, when Mttle Johnny Jones was here for personal appcarauccs with the Tarkington "Edgar" comedies, I was surprised when ho said to me one day, "Come up and see us tomorrow, will you? My father will be hero from Haiti more. He plays the Chinaman, Sway Wan, in 'Dream Street,' you know. You've all seen the Griffith film by this time. And most of you probably thought that Sway 'NVnn, the wily and villainous Chink, was really a Chinaman. Uut he isn't. He is, in private life, Edward l'cll. SOME years ago Peil was a handsome leading man and made lovo (on the screen) to some of our most lovable leading women. Then JOrljfith discovered that I'cil tcould make a good Chinaman and they've insisted on his being a Chinaman ever since. XTOW, l'cll doesn't want to be a Chinaman. J. i i the lovable leadinz ladies though his the fact that he is beginning to get bald. It's only now and then that there is a big, well-paying Chinaman s part in a film, so satisfactory engagements are not so frequent as in the leading man dflys Bht It has been so long since Tell has played the handsome hero, and he has played Chinamen with such conspicuous success that casting directors now think of him only when they have a Chink part, and his name never occurs to them when they are looking about for heroes. -,,. ,Yet you have all, in the years not fo long gone by, thrilled when Pell folded to his manly bosom BUch stars as Gail Kane, Mary Miles Mlntcr, Mary McLaren, Vivian Martin and Blanche bwcet. And before that, those of you who arc older will remember him as a featured player with the Lubin company in this city and with Sclig In Los Angeles. PEIL thought it teas a great day ichen Griffith icatched him closely at tcork and sent for him afterward. It seemed a great chance to bo picked for a difficult character part with such a director. It would give him an opportunity to show that he was something besides a screen hero. Xow ho'd like to show that he is something besides a screen China man. But they won't let him do if. PEIL was playing In "The Greatest Thing in Life" when Griffith made his unfortunate discovery. You remember the scene in the shell hole when the black eohlier nnd the aristocratic and muck-tpolled white man take refuse there together? You remember the soul regeneration of the white man the sacrifice of the Negro tho fatal shot the cry for his mammy's kiss to let him die happy and how the white soldier, forgcttins his aristocracy, takes the black man in his arms and, as the eyes glaze with the coming of the end, kHscs him? The late Robert llorron was the white soldier; Peil was the black man. While they were going through the scene, Griffith kept com'tns closer and closer, looking at Peil, especially intent upon a profile view. When the day's work was over, tho producer took the actor aside, told of the plans for "Broken Blossoms" and offered Peil the part of Evil Eje. Peil did it so well that other Chinese parts followed in "Tho Pagan God" and "The Money Changers." Then "Dream Street." V tliUT the Chinaman as a villain is becoming unpopular on the screen. SJ Peil is wondering xrhat he is going to do. When I saw him off on his way to the West Coast, he said, "I'm going to get back to leading man parts and that's all there is to it." ? Hut his devoted wife just looked at the budding bald spot and smiled. GARRULOUS GARRY SAYS FATTY CAN'T IMITATE HIMSELF HELEN KLUMPH W saw the other day?" I abked of Garry as soon as we had threaded through the crowd and into our Bents. "Who else could it be?" she answered airily. "Ever since bome Now York dramatic critic spoke jeeringly of Mon tague Love following his chest nround, that's all you can think of when you see him. And much as I like him, I find myself wondering If thnt really is his chest or a balloon attachment that will make him soar off into th'o sky. ''One valuable thing about a distinc tion like that though people always recognize you." "You'd think that would hold true of Roocoo Arbuckle then," I suggested. ''And it doesn't. He can to to his own nirtnren without bciiiK'rceoanlzeu. Peo ple laugh nt him on the screen and at the same time object if he overlaps into t . A "v xueir scai. "Yes," Garry admitted. "And what -vhappened when he was in Paris was worBe than that. lu connection witn one of ills pictures they had a content for the best Impersonation of him. Ar buckle entered nnd din't even get hon orable mention." s1 1TRANGELY enough, theatre man agers never cauge their intermis sions by Garry's stories, so wnatever it wns she had to tell me then was postponed. People nround her glared at her so that she stopped in the middle of a sentence. All thnt I caught was "Pearl White." tA soon as the lights iiicKcred on again and the orchestia began boom 'lag one of those tunes that arc so familiar that you have long since for gotten the unme, Z clutched Garry and said : "What about Pearl White?" "Oh. lots of things." she answered. "Shu's rented her house in Boyside to Norma Talmadgo for three years she has about a dozen homes, you know. She's juxt come back from Paris looking thinner but prettier than ever. ''And she had the most thrilling adventures over there you ever heard of." She. went horseback riding up In the Pyrenees nnd got lost. Her horse thr,$w her, she was rescued by some Spanish mountain nhcpherdH, who tried to rob her. and even thing wns just like one of her own rerlals except that the, handsome hero did not rescue her. The rescuer was none other than Dclysin, the musical comedy actress, who played 'Afgar' in New York last winter. "And speaking of Pearl she's pretty good on not being recognized, too. One night, sho went to sec a funny little stock company in a melodrnmi. Tho leading woman was something awful, but Pearl made every one nround her keep still, and she watched that actress just as closely as though she had been good In her part.

Very seldom is a story "shot" exrlusiply in the locale uroiin-l which it is written. Exterior Irenes are genernlly taken in the site chosen and iuteiior scenes at the studio. In I the film they arc "matched," so that the picturo appears to have been pho tographed entirely in that certain place. Frank Lloyd, the director, decided on an innovation when he said. "I want to make every hccne in this pic ture at Huntington Lake." So carpenters from the studio and necessary equipment for constructing buildincs on the lakefront were sent up with the Lloyd company, which is iiiaklus the nietuic. Huntington Lab inc incline. is: situated in the high Sierras nnd is one of tho country h most beautiful natural bodies of water. It is an ide.tl spot for the filming of "The Man Vrum Lost River." an original screen story from the pen of Kathcrlne Newlin Burt, author of tho Western novels, 'Tin' Branding Iron" and "Snow blind," both of which Goldwyn has picturized.

At lnbt tho play was over, and still no sign. I went back to my dressing mom nnd shut the door. I raised the light nnd sat under it, staring at my pale lace, and suddenly 1 thought of my footer-mothei, and her gray eyes, like tho eyes of an animal at tho point of death. I shuddered, and laid tho re volver before me. Then it came, m it was expected to conic a hard knock at the door. I leaned forward, putting a cold hand on tho revolver. "Yes," I luuttetcd. It was the office bey. "Eh, Miss," ho shouted familiarly, "the boss wants jou." "Very well," I said. "And git a move on !" I heard his steps die away. Quickly I leaned over, opened the revolver, snapped out tho shells, opened the new bo-c. nnd tools out tne neuvy nine cartridges, filled the chambers, anil snapped the weupou shut ngnin. Then 1 murmured, "1 am doing this for you. Roland!" Slowing rising. I put my hand in thu folds of my fkirt in back. I went out tho stage entrance, down into tho 6trcet, then up the front stairs. Quietly I mounted the stairs, and pnucd before the bhut door. There was ab solute silent e. ".Mr. Kinder!" I said. He Hung open tho door, and barked ns I swiftly entered. Ho went to the other side of the table. We stood facing each other. "Nelin!" his voice quavered "this has ;ot to end." "It hoH," I murmured. "Vou know I loo you," he burst out. "If vou call it love!" I nnwcicd. "Now, see here!" "I vnn't tee here! I've 'seen hero long vuough. You've hounded me ull i inter. Tie had enough of it!" Suddenly he started toward me, around tho table. I grew clammy cold. I did not move. But my fiwjer wits on Ihe trigger of the revolver. "Nella!" ho said wildly, "I enn't stand it any more. You've Btnyed here, liuvcn t ou? I know what that means!" Ho made a lurch to seize me. nnu IP went my arm, tho rcu.lver in his We stood thus a second, and his face became livid.

Curious! reading back over what 1 hnvo written I have to laugh. I've made myself out an awfully tragic joung lady, with hardly a smile for years. Of course I've been unfair to myself. There is n side to me that is gayety itself and overrunning with joj-h, and even my most desperate moments seem but the beginnings of new joys! This was particularly true tho night I sat in Madison Square Park, among the rest of tho unemployed, with no future before inc. But let me go Duels to the point where my career with the Henry Irving Theatre ended. I sup pose it was the excitement of my last stormy interview with Heaver-Face which carried mo thiough the next twenty-four hours. Strangely enough, I lept soundly all through the night thnt followed thnt momentous en counter. And eien tho next day, In place of feeling worried over the prob lem of how 1 wan to live, I was all atiugle with the excitement of packing up mv belongings nnd getting away. For, of courso, I was going to New York. Not, alas! to play on Ilronduay ns had long been mv dieain; although I must confess that I did not consider getting nn engagement with some Broadwny company as bevond the pos sibilities. The local paper had always been kind to mo and, of course, I hnd icligiously kept oil my notice. I had visions ot presenting mem 10 siiiiii- 111 lluentinl manager and watching his nlenscd expression an ho tend them. You will sco that I wa.s quite as green in many ways ns I wns tho morning I had my first interview with Rcuvcr Face. I prevailed upon my landlady's son, for a small monetary consideration, to carry n note to Kitty at the theatre. On no consideration would I hnvo gono nenr tho building again. I knew, ot course, thnt she would be lehcnrsing in tho morning. But as I rcmcinhoied thnt sho had but n short part, I begged her to come over and have lunch with me. I bimply could not leave without seeing icr again.

GIRL MUST HAVE DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED IN FILMS By ALLEN IIOLUBAK Ahsocl'itnl I'lrst Nntionil ProJuclns-Dlrtclor TtEN j ears ago, while the movies J- were jet in nn undeveloped state, beauty was the only real requirement for motion-picture artists. That wns me era when people sought the novelty of seeing people move on the screen. Today motion-picture producing is an nit and has progressed to such a fit JlPf' i linf Mm nnncmiMu fut. .l,lln ,A mauds the same deirree of netlnir in pictures as they do lo of folk of the lc- gitimato stnge. At firt directors conceived the uiea that only blondes were fitted for stellar loles. Gradually that error in thinking was eradicated until today the major ity of the gieatest artists are brunettes. This dues not mean that a blonde can not act; It simply means that blondes cannot act better than brunettes, and brunettes being in the majority there aie today more dark-haired stars than golden ones. . XIIIEN I create a story I have u 'definite type of woman in view for each feminine role. I want the player to look the part naturally, if possum-, 01 be of the disposition demanded by tlie lolc. This docs not menn thot if the char acter depicted i3 to be a woman of the "ticeth, I want n womnn of abandon to play 4hc pnrt. H means I want a vivacious womnn to p!u a viiacious part not a dreamy -eyed beauty, no matter how well she may be able to pcifonn. Make-up plays a great role in picture production, hut if make-up is too liberally npplied it can always be detected. The joung girl who enters picture work should bo talented or at least have determination. I would niurii rather direct si j'rl who is not 11 first-rate actress, but who has a sincere desire to rarvo a career than to direct 0110 who lias all the ability in the world and no desire to back it up. Nothing is moio trjlng to n director tliun a lazy aitist. She hides her nut mill mealiness beneath a mask of tem perament and her sloth in taking direc tion may hold up the pioduction in definitely and inn up the cost ninny thousands of dollars. Every scene which is done over makes tho overhead boar and the entire coin pnn bore. No actress can hope to succeed if she hasn't natural intelligence, desire foi hard work nud the ability to do as the director tells her while on the set. TT 1 IS extremely hnrd really to act- i- mid by acting I maii to perform nntumlly. Wero acting but moving about nud making meaningless gestures, every girl would be an aitUt and theie would bo no such thing us a career along that line. A girl must haie a pleasing personal ity and rellect it lu her screen work; she must have ability ; she must have 11 rensonnblo amount of looks, a Inige nmount of intelligence und determina tion to the nth d giee. There aro mnny extra sirls who nro more bountiful thnn tho prettiest stnis, but they will uliiojs play "atmosphere" or "hits" because they do not meet with tho real leiiulreinents of the screen. In tlio mailing or "Tito Heart of Humanity" I rhoso Margaret Mann to play a most important role and she liad never been before a camera. I CHflfc her in ilio part because bho looked tho type; she possessed intelligence, de termination, screened well nnd had nn appeal which I knew would touch the heart of the picture-goer. A large part of tho success of that picturo was due to Margaret Mann. That's tho reason I cash her in "Alan, Woman, MarrlaEO," and other pictures which followed "Tho Heart of Human, tty." She lias made 11 success of acting, although sl'o 1101 rr attempted it until sho was past middle ago. Rogers Makes Baker's Dozen In tho two years he has been with Goldywn. Will Rogers lias completed twelve pictures, and is now working on a thirteenth. "A Tnnr TfolntUr, n J' His flrnt, was ''Laughing Bill Hyde!" HAVE you noticed thnt Charlie Ray has had a different leading lady in virtually every one of the productions he lias made sinco becoming an inde pendent star making his own photo plays? Perhaps you think that Charlie is just a trlflo too choosy ; that he is very difficult to plcaBc, but that isn't true nt all. Let's correct a wrong Im pression if one happens to exist. The fact is that Charlie has been very well satisfied with the work that has, been done by each and every one of the charming leading ladles who have appeared wtlh him to date. Then why nil this variety? Well, in tho first place, Charlie says there's nothing like variety, even when it comes to leading ladles. Picking lead ing ladles for a picturo is just like choosing partners for a dance, ho says. One girl dances tho fox trot superbly, whllo another is superior in a waltz. The same is true of pictures, asserts Ray. One girl- may be excellent in a certain role while n different type Is required in another. That's why Char lie wants a different partner for every picture. There is still nnothcr reason for this Ray policy, however. In adopting it Charlie hns become n benefactor to cer tain ambitious girls who previously had shown marked talent in minor roles, hut had not had an opportunity to dis play their ability In a- higher plane. MR. RAY has been ever ready to give tiic new ones nn opportunity, for it Is no tax on his memory to recall the old days when he, too, was struggling for recognition. In this connection it is interesting to note that Mary Anderson is to bo Char lie Ray's leading lady in his newest photoplay, "Two Minutes to Go," which has just gone into production for release through First National. His latest feminine support is a real prize, however, for "Sunshine Mary," as she is known, is nnd lias been for some time n very popular screen favor ite herself. Unlike some of Ray's pre ceding leading Indies sho had already won recognition before signing a con tract to appear in "Two Minutes to Go." That doesn't make tho cases of any of the others any the less interest ing, however. Take the ease of Clara Horton, for example. Demure nnd sweet sixteen, she was given her big chance by Mr. Ray in "Nineteen and Phyllis." Then there's Dorothy Devore, who had the leading feminine role In Charlie's first independently produced picture, "Forty Five Minutes From Broadway." Doro thy was n graduate of the Christie comedy school. OUT of the ranks of comedy beauties Charlie selected Marjoric Prevost and Laura La Plant for the chief fem inine parts in "Tho Old Swimmin' Hole," while in "Peaceful Valley."
