A Business of Wonder Jul Chances Missed
TUP STORY of the moving-picture lniIncs ii full of tnlcn of wonderful
chances tnken an'l fortunes j;nlnel, of shop-string cnmbles with Kolls-rtoyce
finishes, of joiimcsteni Mill In their teens unking up one morning to findnhem
aiWe rleh nnd lamous.
Nobody econn to remember the chnnres overlooked. You enn t get any of
cm to mlrrilt that they hail their feet on the threshold of millions nnd were
nfraid or didn't hnve bitsp enough to go In.
I met the exception to tin rule the other day. IVs n director. 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.

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?

CHAPTER XVI
IN THE course of nn hour, my mes
senger returned. 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

there. In which they were permitted to

fallen in love infi Roland Welles, an
idol of the screen. 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

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.

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

And I am hopeful that soon some
body will crentc n dream for n motion

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

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.

and hero.
WALTER LEWIS, who has ben
known In the motion -picture ttn,u
for years: Forrest Robinson and Law- 'I
icncc r.uumgcr arc also included in tat
cast.
So far from civilization hns Mr.
Hergeshclmcr taken the company in order
to get the proper environment thnt tel
phone, telegraph, rail and other con- '
ncctions with the outside world hart
teen left far behind. Luxuries of ordi
nary life arc unknown to the enran.
One of the principal things brought bx
Mr. Rarthelmess In the one trunk ha
has with him irf n coffee percolator and
several pounds of the beverage, which
lie considered more important tbaa an
c&tra suit of clothes.
Hardy mountaineers, who all un
known to themselves hnc been de
picted to the world by M. Hcrgeslielmer
in Ills written story, will be pressed Into
service on the bcrccn in character parti.
The scraggly, barren homes of these
mountaineers will make the actual set
tings for the scenes. The mountain
themselves, which hnve been so wonder
fully described by Mr. Hcrgeslielmer
iu the story, will be transferred in all
their natural beauty to the screen.
Two and a Half Hours to Make Up
THE- long velvet worm Is awarded to
Lon Chancy, Marshall Ncllan'i
character lend, who hns become the un
disputed early bird of the movie col
ony. In order to be made up for his part,
as a Chinaman in Ncilan's "Hits ol
Life" nnd ready for work nt the studio

alarm at the unearthly hour of 5 A. M.
A half hour to dress, a h.ilf hour for
breakfast nnd he Is ready to make fie
half-hour trip from Hollywood to the
Culver City studio. ,
Chnney'w transmission from his
fairly good-looking self to the terrible
looking character he portrays In the)
Nclhiii film involves n matter of two
ami a half hours. His make-up in
"Bits of Life" is snld to be more com
plicated thnn tho preparations necw
snry for his portrayals in "The Mir
acle Man." "The Penalty" and "Out
side the Law."
