CLOSE-UPS of the MOVIE GAME
By HENUV
Edtcard Childs Carpenter Was a "Cub" Here Once
TIIEr say it's a Mire sign that you're getting old when the mention of n name
will mnke you fit buck nnd half close your eyes and nay, "Who? Him? Why,
X remember when he"
Well, let's admit the cncroachlnR gray hairs and get at our reralnlocences.
They arc enured by the receipt of a lot of publicity matter about Vlvlnn Mar
tin's new picture, "Pardon My French," from a story by Edward Childs
Carpenter.
You'll remember Carpenter's "Cinderella Man" nnd half a dozen of the
other tremendous successes he has hnd on the speaking stage. Hut you won't
remember how he carao to write the Tery firt story that he ever published. You
won't remember It because It has never been told In print.
Twenty years ago Carpenter and I were "cub" reporters on two morning
Bewspnpers In this city. We were the rawest and greenest of cubs, and we never
ou!d get anywhere with our city editors because no both hnd visions of becoming
great fiction writers like our Idol, Itlchard Harding Davis, nnd when we were
ent out to get a "story," we overlooked its newspaper vnluc entirely In trying
to find fiction material in It.
So wo became what they called "loggers" In our offices Just messengers
Who could be sent out to get photographs or bring in the "copy" of real reporters.
JiUT we consoled ourselves by talking of the days tehen our dreams
D of greatness should come true. And Carpenter's have (cornier-
fully. Hut no man ever deserved success more, for no man ever worked
mope doggedly and courageously in the face of tragic and persistent
failure.
ONE terribly stormy winter's night, with a mixture of hall nnd rain simply
teeming down and an Icy gale driving It, we sat In our two offices on n late
emergency shift, just hanging about In ense a legger should be needed after mid
bight. And, with not a regular staff man In cither office, three nlarms of fire came
In In rapid succession from Chestnut Hill. City Hall henrd. in some way, that
it was a ttensntional blaze, and our city editors tore their hair in frenzy when
they found they had no one to scud but a utelcn, fiction -writing legger.
We met on the way out and decided to stick together for company. And it
was a big fire a lumber yard surrounded by dwelling houses nnd everything wns
going up, with panic-stricken men, women nnd children battling the police In
crazy efforts to save their homes.
We slothed about through the storm nnd the knee-deep mud until we got the
main facta and then we hunted a telephone. They were not so common then as
they arc now.
We were directed to the branch exchnnge, then on the top floor of an old
residence on Gcrmantown avenue, nnd when we knocked nnd rnng and bangeii
and yelled, n young fellow stuck his hend out of the upper window nnd asked
what wo wanted.
We cxplnlned. He said he was the exchange operator nnd wasn't allowed
to admit any one up there, but if we were reporters, he guessed It would be all
right and come on up.
F THAT kind-hearted young feltotc had been a grouch that night,
j tcho knoics how it might hove delayed Carpenter's career toward
i' success? For it teas the encouragement of seeing his first story m print
I that made him buckle down seriously to tcriting, and the young operator
teas responsible for that.
WE WENT up to the room where the operator sat at his switchboard. We
found he hnd romantic Ideas about reporteri and their exciting lives nnd the
power they wielded. We didn't disillusion him. We let him think thnt we
were really reporters.
So we took, off our wet clothes, sat comfortably by the stove, lighted our
pipes nnd phoned to our offices.
Mcnntimc about every compnny In the city had been ordered out to the fire.
Our city editors were In a frenzy. They couldn't get a man to send out.
Carpenter nnd I weren't considered men.
We were ordered to go out after more dctnits, but wc looked through the
Windows at the howling, driving storm, and then at the cozy red glow of the
stove nnd hesltnted. Suddenly there came n buzz on the telephone boat?! nnd the
operator answered it.
"Say," ho said to us, "here's Donovan, of the Times, calling hln office.
Want to listen to him?" .
Did we? Donovan wns one of the star men of his day. He would have the
whole story.
So wo put on head phones nnd the operator cut us in on Donovan and we
- ,at there comfortably taking down notes of nil the stuff he nnd his assistants hnd
plo'ded around in the mud and storm to get. Then, when he had hung up, we
simply called our own offices mid gnve It in ns ours.
Hoth our city editors hit the celling. They couldn't understand how n rnw
kid could get so much so soon after our last call.
WiAYDE it icasn't ethical, but if you could have seen that freezing
" storm outside and that nice warm stove inside, with our clothes
drying in front of it, you wouldn't have blamed us.
ONE by one, we "stole" the stories of every ri-al reporter on the job thnt
night. We got names nnd nddrescs of killed nnd injured, statements of
supposed cause nnd loss and details of heroic nnd pathetic incidents. It was a
wonderful story. We two kids had the Man's of every paper in the city working
for ub and they didn't know It.
, And, ns it happened, our luck stuck with us. for not one of our own men
showed up in our offices In time to come out and relieve us.
We used to have a habit, in those dnjs when we were on n story together, of
aboutlng "That's mine" if wc saw fiction possibilities in anything. And we
Imply deluged the magazine editors with the results.
So, on this night. In the midst of taking down some of the most Important
Botes, Cnrpenter suddenly quit and yelled nt me, "Say; this is mine!" And at
-ronco he forgot the newspaper story in the growing (lotion possibilities of the
unusual event. f
He worked a love story into it, of course mndo It n broken-down reporter
trying to Btage a come-back for the sake of his dying wife. It was pretty good.
A few weeks later, he phoned me In great glee. The story hnd been accepted by
The Criterion, a magazine long since defunct.
That was Carpenter's start. Today he mukes more in n week thnn he nnd I
together used to make then in a year.
tyOT I'm willing to bet that he doesn't get the thrill nowadays that he
MJ did when he brought me a copy of The Criterion and proudly
showed me his first story in print, with his namo signed to it 'n every
thing. And I wonder what that exchange operator would think if he
knew that the cub reporter he helped that night is now one of the most
famous men of the American stage.

Of codrse. they were trnlned animals.
Thnt Is, they were amenable to direc

was different from nm thine thev had
ever done before. The dog, an almost
human-brained mastiff, and the mule, a
circus product, faced new situations
with something approaching Intuition.
Sometimes the intuition had to be prod

The animal-kingdom portion of the cast
was really anxious to "play ball."

strategy needed to cct the right Idea

DAY OF INFLATED

THE "gct-rich-quick" period In the
film industry, with its inflated snl
atles nnd wasteful methods, is ended,
nccordlug to the Icadlug motion-picture
producers in America.
Like everything clso in the world of
business, the motion-picture industry Is
now undergoing its period of readjust

to complete normalcy.
Heads of the largest film corporations
In this country have discussed the prob
lem and nrrlved nt n consensus of opin
ion to tho effect thnt nil extravagance
must be eliminated. The days when the
motion-picture business was a bonnnzu

"The day for n complete 'show down'

& resident of the Famous Players-T.asky
orporotion, in discussing the situntion.
"Abnormal and extravagant salaries,
wasteful extravagance, so-called 'bank

"Ten rars ago, more or less, every

Most anything would satisfy the public,

DUMB ACTORS MAKE GOO.D IN THE SILENT DRAMA
and the big dog "set" resolved Itself
Into a combination of petting party and
endurance test. It seemed that every
time Mary was ready to go on, one or
the other of the supporting "cast"
would get up and walk nwny to look for
a shady snot. And the enmcra would
stutter and stop.
A way was found then to handle the
menagerie. Practically, It was direct
ing the scene backward. Instead of
Mary storting out alone nnd having her
dumb friends eased Into proper poses to
suit the scene, ono or both of the ani
mals, ns the requirements vnrled, were
"set going" or posed, where the action
wns more subdued, and Mien the star
slipped Into the scene nnd played alone
with It until the Inevitable "break"
came.
Historic Fire Engine Useful
A fire engine, hand -pumped and
hand-drawn, is among the Victorian era
props used in the filming of George Du
Mnurier's famous story, "Peter lbbot
son." The engine is the property of the
New York fire department nnd wns built
in 1842. It wns lent to the studio by
the city Government. Firemen appear
ing in the burning orphnungc scene, in
which the Duchess of Towers, plnjed
by Elsio Ferguson, Is burned to death,
appeared In scnrlct uniforms nnd brnss
helmets, tho equipment of Parisian lire
fighters of thnt day.
Fawcott In "Ibbetson"
George Fnwcett, who plajtd the part
of tho lovable old Scotch doctor in
"Sentimental Tommy," lias added an
other characterization to his long list
of screen chnrnctcrs. In "Peter Ibbet
son" he is Mnjor Duquenois.

LOVE STORY
MOVIE STAR
This Is How the Story Begins:'
MELLA MORE-LAWD, most famous
of screen stars, ' hears that a
young girl, Annette inifcinion, has
fallen in love with Roland 1Fcfo, an
idol of the screen. Miss Morcland,
to save Annette, writes the story 'of
her own tragic love affair telth
Welles, intending to send tt to
Annette so she may know the kind
of man he is.
She tells how, white a pianist in
a movie thcatro in a Western Penn
sylvania town, she met Welles when
he made a "persondl appearance"
there, how he wolfed her to come to
New York and said he would place
her in tho movies, how she. came and
the chilly reception which he gave her
in the studio.' Then, beeoming inter
ested in her, he. gets her a job in a
small town stock company for the
experience, promising to see her
often.
Kitty, a member of the company,
proves her best friend, but the man
ager, whom, she nicknames "Beaver
Face," becomes obnoxious with his
attentions. She threatens him with
a revolver, leaves the company and
goes to New York to find work.

I asked.
"Well," he said, "I kind of wink
at Oioir being here. They haven't

''Neither have I." I said with a
sort of despairing boldness. "I couldn't

this hour. Besides, some nviney 1 wns

For n moment he stood hesitating.
Then ills hand went toward his
pocket. But I forestalled him.
"Thank you. just the same," I said.
"But you know there Isn't nny re

I couldn't go to n hotel nlone nt thin
time of night. You know that. Why
can't I just stay here?"
"It Isn't safe, nnd It Isn't re "
"I know It Isn't respectable." I
finished his sentence for him. "But
you must seo that it's more respectable
thnn walking tho streets. If I enn only

"Well," he grumbled, "I saipposo
I'll have to let you, since thnt's how
it is." Ho went nw.ay. But nt in
tervals throughout the nltfht I saw
him at one end of the Pari; or tlio

one would have imagined. I never

pressing any sympathy for a condltlM
for which, after nil, she was soleW ?
blame, she beenmo violently IndlmuM
Like Uie officer, she aMnri S.'PH.1:
my conduct was far from respecUbU? '
on y sho was less kind. In the end ?! l
paid mc my money, assuring mc tht
she never wished me to show my f.M
in her house again. But having m
money, I cared for nothing else. I
even extravagant enough to ride homa
in a street car. After my experien"
with Mrs. Fisk, I thought ft morVffi!
dpnt to He to my landlady. I expressed
lorrow that I had not been able to
pay her tho night before. Told her that
I had just missed finding my employer
nnd that I had spent the night with s
friend.
How good my poor little room lookedfl
And, oh, how luxurious to be able to
have a refreshing bath and to get lata"'
some fresh clothes! 'On the way hoist
I had bought two eggs, which I boiled
over my gas jet. Never did eggs Uite
better. I had still n little money la
my purse, so. I felt positively hopeful '
Besides, I had come to a resolution, j
would pat my pride in my pocket and
go over to see if Roland had returned,
or If thero was nny news of him. Barely
he must be coming back soon, and"
surely, he would find some way to help
me.

AGNES AYRES GOT
PLENTY OF "RAW
THE STUDIO KIND
T WISH," sighed Agnes Ayres, "I
J- could piny hockey and go swim
ming today."
It wns n day in the making o(
"Cnppy Ricks," a day when gruie
paint melted nnd rnn In little stretmi
down players' faccB, nnd clothes grew
pasty and stuck to suffering bodies.
The leading woman of "Cappy
Ricks," who recently was made a star,
hardly had voiced her wish when her
coll came from the stage.
"Bring the oilskins with you," slid
tho call boy.
Arrayed In waterproofs, nnd wonder
ing why, Miss Ayres went to the stage:
A few minutes Inter she had mount?)
the rocking set on which a shin's cabin
had been built. Lights flashed on anil '
then
"Rain!" shouted Tom Forman, ti'.'
director.
A deluge poured from the sprinkler
system that constitutes n movie studio's
rain clouds. The girl nt the ship rail
wns beaten bnck under the poundlni
streams of water.
"Wind!" yelled Forman.
An nlrplanc propeller, mounted on a
truck, begnn Its circular race of 1500
revolutions a minutes, driving the rata
before It.
Agnes Ayres was rcnlizlng her wish.
She continued to rcnllzo It through the
remnindcr of tho dny, until the shower
bnth grew monotonous nnd she began
to pine for dry clothing.
Tor the "rain," whippetl by tho con
tinuous air currents generated by the
propeller, found nn entrance urider the
oilskins, until the actress was soaked.
Sweating electricians and other hcit
victims envied, but Miss Ayres, as the
let her hair out to dry in her dressing
room, decided it was quite enough
water for her.
