I've known him for n long timo nnd there was one peculiarity I've noticed about him so dif ferent from most directors. , He'll listen to advice from subordinates. ITc doesn't think he's the only man In the worl 1 who knows It nil. Yet he's n. director. Yep : in spite of that, he's a director. F YOU knew director better, you xeouhl get the biting, not to my ruthlcsi. sarcasm of thnt. You see, I've been an assistant director nyself. If you had ever been an assistant director, you would want to ay even tcorsc things about directors, So do I, ISut I can't print 'cm. say even tcorsc things WELTj after apologizing for the digression thU director was fairly well up nt the top of the romedv heap n few year ago had money, reputation, facilities to put ncros? nnything in th comedy line thnt looked good. One day -he rot n letter from a third-rate romedlnn whom he had met In nnoth.T studio. This comedian had a brother who was getting by with some odd character htuff thnt was totally iMcrcnt from anything else being done on the screen. . The first man was sure this stuff was going to make a big hit. So he wrote the director, saying that It was time to plav the brother tip. that n companr could be formed cheaply nnd that both he nnd his brother would sign hide-bound, long-term contracts if the director would form the company, feature the two brothers nnd put the stuff on the market. All the director needed in cash was those day. He was to be chief ewncr nnd thi of all productions. He looked nt n lotof the stuff in which the two brothers Had appearen, hut It was so different from what the public was necustomed to that he made up his mind the proposition was too risky. Pevernl people ndvied him to go into It, but he was used to liavlng his own way in those days nnd he turned it down. That'f- why ho takes other people's advice now. 'Whenever he feels his head swelling or firds he is going against the opinions of his co-workers, ho takes that comedian's letter out, reads it, puts It back and listens to his assistants. JT WOT'LDy'T be fair to tell you the name of the director. Hut the comedian who wrote the letter was a guv named Sidney Chaplin, and the brother he granted to feature has made more nr leu success since on the screen. Maybe you've seen him. ITis name's Charlie Chaplin. MARY AND DOUG PLANNING A TRIP TO THE ORIENT By CONSTANCE PALMER Hollywood, Calif., July 7. YESTERDAY I met DouglnR Fair banks for the first time. I do wish I could think of things to say when I meet these overawing people. But he was nice. He said he had n title in "The Nut" which he hoped you all wouldn't mind about something being ns soothing as n visit to Phila delphia. I wanted to ny I thought people w-ould htand anything from him, but I only htammercd and gulped. A little later I saw them thoot some atmospheric btreet btnff for the "Three Musketeers." There were town people, farmers gaping at the tall buildings of eighteenth or was it seventeenth? century France, a man with a squealing pig and my, how he did s.nuenl ! and now and then a glimpe or two of the King's MuHkctfcrs riding along, and maybe the Cardinul's Guards. Over the wholo there drifted n mad dening Mnell of broiling beafsteak ond onions from Mr. Fairbanks' bungnlow nearby. Pretty soon he and Miss Pick ford, lnughing very hard about some thing, drove past in their big new dark red motorcar on their way to cat the beefsteak and onions. TnERE have been so many stories written about their various trips that I hesitate to tell you what their plans are now. Rut on the risk of your urnth will set it down that in October they hope to go again to Europe over roine of the ground they covered the last time, winding up on the Hivirra. From there they will tour the Orient, ns neither of them hns ever been. They will each make a picture, ncrord Ing to present plain, which will prob ably be Oriental In theme the pic ture, not the plans. They will perhaps go to South Africa and Indln, coming back by way of China and Japan. Doesn't It sound wonderful?

Kitty had scrawled, "Sflre, I will," nn the back of my envelope. Happy as n child, I ran out to n neighboring delicatessen shop nnd laid in an extravagant amount of sup plies. All the Indigestible things thnt I dearly loved went to make up that lunch. I had looked in that same win dow with longing eyes nil winter, but had resolutelv resisted temptation. Rut if I died for it. I intended Hint this; should be n real feast! I had decided, you see, to have lunch in ray room. As I was leaving three ilnys before my week wns up, nnd had nnid. ns usual. In advance, my land lady thawed sufficiently to lend me n table and some chipped dishes. I wanted Kitty nil to mjbulf. We would have oceans of things to say, and I suspected that we would both indulge in n good cry. Certainly I didn't Intend to cry In public off the btngc ! Kitty came even before I expected her, bearing all sorts of good wishes from the members of the company, all of whom were gocd enough to regret my departure. At the rik of seeming catty, I will sny that I knew thnt some of the good wishes for my suc cess in other fields were not alto gether disconnected with the fact that of late I had been steadily growing more and more popular with the audiences of the Henry Irving! I found to my nstonlshmcnt thnt an exaggerated at count of my srene with Iicaver-Faeo was common property. For this I had to thank my friend the call boy. He unblushingly confessed thnt he ha1 been listening outside the office. Rut, being ns imaginative as he was unscrupulous, he had embellished his nccount by telling that I hud actually fired my pistol at the manngcr. nnd went the length of offering to show the nolo my millet nail mmic In tnc wan. I could only nssure Kitty thnt If there were any Mich hole there the call-boy had made it after my departure. All the bauie, I begged her not to contindict the story, although it reflected bndly on my aim ! Of course, we both broke downnnd cried before lunch wn.s half over. Kitty declared that without me life in the company would be perfectly unbearable. With no one else had she ever been so pall. She was most cheering in regnrd to my future. Of course, I would get n good engagement in no time, with mv talent and mv appearance. Rut she discouraged my plan to carry my notices to n mnnaser, on the ground that New York managers, like all other New Yorkers, were tho most provincial peo ple In the world, nnd cared noining ior nnv opinion thnt came from outside. Rut in spite of her roy prophecies, she did a perfectly charucteribtic thing before leaving, insisting on my accepting the lonn of a twenty-dollar bill until I "signed." How like her that wns! Of course, I refused. Knowing her salary as well as sho knew mine, I could only wonder how she had ever managed to save twenty dollars, ror Kitty wns never able to save anything, owing lnrgely to her generous henrt i verily bclieie that everybody In the ......... ,... nnil rnmen nlike. hail bm rowed money fronvher from time to time. And 1 nnd a suspicion mm large part of her money never enme bnck. After she hail gone, I felt iin uttcrahly dreary. I had the feeling hat I would never again, no matter how fortunate I might be In placing myself . find a woman friend so true-hearted, so unselfish, so big that s tho word. And, indeed, I never have! A few hours later, I shook the dust of the little town from my feet forever Artinc on Kitty's advice, I had packed in a largo suitcase my two prettiest gowns in which I intended o bewitch the managers. Mv trunk containing my theatrical wnrdrobe nnd nil the things thnt I would not immrumir . '-i' -. I left behind me with the understanding thnt I would send for It Inter. It was many n long day before I saw It again ! Wishing to avoid the expense of a hotel oen for a night, I i becked my suitcasu nt Ilia ierry muuuu .-ii wic New York side and started to look for lodgings. I had never spent a night in the city in my life; Rut If I had gained nothing clso In my month's ex perlcnce. I had at least acquired some self-confidence. Certainly I would meet with nothing worse thnn Reaver-1-ace. Kitty, whose knowledge of tho "big trwn" was little greater than my own. had advised West Twenty-third street ns a good place to look for accommo dations. Hue nan Known beverai nr tiesscs who had found cheap rooms there. In which they were permitted to do light housekeeping. So to West Twenty-third street I bent my step?.

Miss Morcttind. to save Annette, writes the story of her own tragic love affair with Welles, intending to send it to Annette so nhc may know the kind of man he is. She tells how, while a pianiit in a movie theatre in a Western Penn sylvania town, she met Wcltcs when he made a "personal appearance" there, how he invited her to come to yew York and said he would place her in the movies, how she came miff the chilly reception which he gave her in the studio. Then, becoming inter ested in her, he gets her a job in a small town stock company for the experience, piomisina to see her often. Kitty, a membei of the company, proves her best friend, but the man ager, whom she nicknames "Reaver face," becomes obnoxious with his attentions. Hhc threatens him with a revolver, leaves the company and goes to yew York to find work. Noiv Go On With the Story I recognized the street ns the one I had come through the day the fatherly po liceman had directed me out of the re gion inhabited .by the "kikes" nnd "wops." I almost wished I could see him ognln. Much water hud flowed un der the bridge since that day. I felt Immeasurably older and sadder! I was fortunnte In finding a room that fulfilled all requirements, at u modest price suitnble to my slender purse, not far from the corner of Eighth avenue. It was in the back of the house on the ground lloor. As I lis tened, the noise of the btreet came to mo in a sort of muflled roar which I did not find nt nil disagreeable. The room was furnished with heavy, old- fashioned furniture which must hnve been very handsome in its da. Hut it chief attraction wns that it looked both clean and comfortable, een "homy." And I took to the landlady as well. She was a middle-aged Swedish woman iho. like the furniture, must hnc been very splendid In her dny. Rut it was nlnln that life hnd dealt hardlv with her; her big blue ejes looked as if she had cried all the color out of them. Rut the wav sho bustled about to make me comfortable went to my heart.

ZiWWZ'i -' .$&$S8$S MOVIELAND productions ONLY DIRECTOR OF CHINAMEN IN MOVING PICTURES MANY unusual people may be seen or heard about n modern motion picture plant, but one of the most un usual figures which has come to light in some time is Tom Gubbins, who has added n new calling to motion pictures. Mr. Gubbins styles himself the "motion-picture expert on things Chinese" nnd he is tho medium between casting directors and Chinese atmosphere or talent for motion-picture productions. He eliminates u problem which has long been n worry to film compauics desiring Chinese characters for their pictures. Refore his time the casting director would engage n group of Chinese, they would work in the picture one day nnd then perhaps the next day there would bo one or two missing. HAVING spent eight years In China, Mr. Gubbins has learned the traits and characteristics of the race to perfection and has come to be looked upon ns a friend nnd highly respected business agent by the Los Angeles Chi nese. He hns great influence with nil the natives of the little Oricntnl section nnd knows their haunts, their ethics, their points of appeal nnd the methods by which they can be reached and is ac quainted with several "persuaders" by which they may be induced to realize the importance of continuing on the second day and perhaps every dnv thereafter for a week the work which they have begun before the camera on the first day. This Is very important, for after encli man has once been registered on the film in one scene, his presence in succeeding scenes Is absolutely neccs sary in order that the picture be con sistent throughout. Recently, when Tj. M. Goodstndt, the casting director at the Lasky studio In Hollywood, wnujtcd something like a hundred Chinese men and women as part of the atmosphere for scenes in the Chinese cafe setting in Retty Conip ton's picture. "At the End of the World, he simply communicated with Mr. Gubbins. told him what he wanted nnd nt the appointed time, the latter appeared at the studio with his Orlcutals in tow. M1 R. GniRINS is one of the very few Americans who hnve mnstered the Cnntoncse tongue. This Is con sidered the most difficult language In the world. This valuable knowledge makes him indispensable to the director when employing n number of Chinese in a picture. The director mokes known his orders nnd Mr. Gubbins fluently relays them to the Orientals in their own tongue. Ho hns nlso proved valuable in sup pljing information of n technlcnl and artistic nature regarding Chinese archi tecture, furnishings nnd investiture, costumes nnd tho cutoms nnd chnr nctcrlstics of the people. White work ing nt tho Lasky studio, Mr. Gub bins nttractcd the curiosity nnd nd miration of all who happened to be tienr the set and heard him talking intimntcly nnd with no apparent effort to these strange people in the langunge of the Cantonese. "NK- might think that the Chinese vy would be very fond of working in motion pictures nnd reaping the remuneration paid even to extra types of this kind. On the contrary, they nie usually indifferent about scrce'i work nnd come more for the novelty of being inside the studio thnn be cnuso thev nro tempted by tho .$5 or S7 r0 n day, which each receives for this service. "Wages nro very low in China, but the scale of living Is nlo very low, Tn America the Chlnnman is n very well paid individual. A washer in n Chinese lnunilrv generally alwas gets some thing like $ 12.50 a week, with his room and bonrd thrown in. "Their crentest passion Is the love of gnmbllng," No sooner do they get their hnnds on their money than thev mnkc all haste to stnnd nround the fan tan table nr buy tickets nt the lottery. "Fan tan is their national gambling game nnd, contrary to a common Im pression, it is not played with cards but with beads or buttons. They take their losses very philosophically and when they get more money return with the snme enthusiasm, the same passion for the game." MR. GUBBINS Is the only man in the world to hold such a unique position In the work of mnking mo tion pictures. IIo is making' use of a knowledge which ho bought dearly. At the ago of twelve he ran nway from his home in Boston nnd shipped on a boat as n cabin boy. Landing In Ilnnikong. China, he was thrown en tirely upon his own resources and faced the tnsk of mastering the riinst difficult language on .the face of the earth. MENTAL PROCESSES ' MAY SOON BE SHOWN ON SCREEN v Ry PAUL BERN Dtrretor of Ooldirjn rirtures THERE hns been much discussion recently ns to the ndvlsablllty of following novels nnd plays implicitly when making screen versions. The principal opponents of the idea of fol lowing the original closely base their nrguments on the fact thnt pages of thought, of psychological characteriza tion mean nothing on the screen, where thnurht mlcht be translated Into action. The idea hero is that the thought of the Individual must express itself in love or hate, in movement with relation to the other characters of the picture, In action or reaction. This is perfectly true at present. But it is my belief thnt the next great im provement In pictures) will be the visual translation of thought on tho screen. At present if wi. wish to show a man's love for a woman, it is done predominantly In three ways:' First. Through physical action. She is In trouble and at risk of life and limb, he rescues her. Second. Through the machinery com monly associated with the expression of love; through embraces, kisses. Third. Through pantomime, the physical expressions of his face and eyes, dreaminess, gentleness, kindness. ALTv of these arc the true vehicles through which men, from time Im memorial, have shown their love for women. Rut grcntcr than all these is the love-thought which really Is the basis for the visual expression. Srtnrl hns nhvsicnl limitations. Thought and imagination arc illimit able. The probability is that Wagner, who would have been a genius nt any of the arts, turned to music because through it lie could give illimitable ex pression to a powerful imagination. The big development in pictures, then, to my mind, is the field of ex pressing thought. To some degree this is being done already. I saw a picture a day or two ago, 'showing n man be coming angry. The director cut in n strip of film showing molten lava, colored red. We knew immediately that this man was "seeing red." IN MY opinion Rooth Tnrkington is reaching out for tills same thing by his. use of thought pictures scenes that dissolve in nnd show what relation cer tain people have to other people in the picture. Take, for example, Mr. Tarkington s Edgar stories. Edgar, in his mind, sees ills father doing certain things in n way to conform to his (Edgar's) opinion of him, although the audience sees the father from an unbiased view point nnd knows that Edgar's impres sion is quite false. Or Mr. Tarkington will use a number of "dissolves" to show how n man expects his own career to be developed. This is pyschology, pure and simple. In a conversation with Dr. S. P. Goodhart, one of New York's most fnmous alienists nnd specialists in mental diseases, on this very subject, we discussed the fact that when thought reaches a stage where it is entirely uninhibited and freed of any check, it takes visual form nnmely. in dreams. The dream, as pointed out by Freud, Is n series of pictures, fantastic, kaleidoscopic, mysterious, with great emphasis on the essentials nnd rather frightening to our consciences. Dr. Goodhart thought that if tho screen can ever portray n dream as it really oc curs not, ns we do today, simply con- rnoTori.AYS 'pHOT&PUYr 'Ww&v, COMPANY r T AMERICA APHI n MI) ' THOMPSON ST3. rITJllKJ MATINKE DAILY lois WEiinii's I'linnt'f'TioN "WHAT'S WORTH WHILE?"

And I am hopeful that soon some body will crentc n dream for n motion picture from the stuff of which dreams are really made. Here will be pure thought, visualized as only the camera can visualize it. That will be a real step forward in the making of motion pictures. TN 3 1 tu N 3IY opinion, then, to reject n pic- re because a vital portion of it is thought, not action. Is not neccssnrlly the richt thine to do. What should be done is to seek n means of expressing thought in pictures symbolical, real istic, imaginative or crudely melo dramatic, it matters very little. Tho ctcrnnl struggle of ambition nnd conscience (the most frequent struggle in life of man and much mote frequent thnn the struggle against a definite op posing force) offers wonderful oppor tunities for picturizatioii, which we have rejected hitherto because it was held to be unscreennblc. The proper thing to do is not to re sort to titles, which bus seemed the only possibility, but to get our imaginations to work and visualize them. It can be done. The proof is to be in the pic tures of the future. Authoress Writes Original Script Alice Duer Miller is now nt the Gold wyn studios writing her lirU originnl scenario.
