today are not as good as they were a year or two years ngo.
Just before Marion Davles finished making "Tho Young Dlnna" and went
eut to tho West Coast for a vacation and anothor picture I had a talk with her
between scenes in the Cosmopolitan studios. She seemed to feel keenly that there
must be a radical improvemnt in the product being put on the market. As we
talked she developed her ideas in so interesting a manner that I asked her If she
wouldn't find time, to put them in writing for mo co that the readers of this page
could get the inside view point, and sho agreed to do it. They reached me yes
terday as she was on her way west.
MISS DAVIEft, like President Wilson, stands on fourteen point.
And into these fourteen tho crowds a whole course of instruction
in scenario writing, direction, acting and production.
BEST of all, she docn't merely tell how bad everything Is and leave it to
somebody else to fix it. It's what the highbrows call constructive criticism,
and that's the kind supposed to be most valuablo only every time it appears all
the other critics start to pick flaws In it and nobody tries it In practice. But
here's Mis Davles' platform:
"First (!rt a good story, plausible and human and interesting.
"Second. 'nst it with intelligence regardless of the 'fame attached to any
given name.
"Third. Direct it artistically with an eye to reality, dramatic effect and
constructive building up.
"Fourth. Keep our suspense. Don't give everything nway no matter
bow conventional the plot may seem. Only waiting for something It Isn't sure
cf will keep the audience in its seats. I mean that people don't want to foresee
everything that is going to happen. Dike life itself, It Is the unexpected that
adds color. If ou knew ever thing that might happen to you In advance there
would be nothing to live for.
"Fifth. Watch your 'business.' Tho dullest motion-picture story In the
World enn bo made into a memorable thing If thero are enough diverting
incidents in it.
"Sixth. Keep jour main story always in the foreground. Don't jump all
over the place with superfluous sidelights thnt mean nothing.
"Seventh, lime the sets correspond with the action and the atmosphere,
but don't have them so clnbornte that they put everything else In tha back
ground by the attention they call to themselves. Sets must be slaves to tho
picture, not masters of It.
"Eighth. Costumes, too. The same may bo said of them as of sets.
"Ninth. The main title is of utmost importance. The picture must have
one whlsh will mean something interesting to every one.
"Tenth. The advertising must tell
fetory to arouse interest without disclosing tho sequence of events.
"Eleventh. The titles of a picture can mnko or ruin It. Bolstered up by
titles which say something and don't forestall everything that is going to happen
nearly any photoplay is sure of n modicum of appeal. Titles can be literature,
and this is the picture's one chance to belong to the written arts.
"Twelfth. Tho ending must not bo known as soon as tho first reel Is over.
This is n waste of footage nnd you merely ask yourself the question, 'Why stay
until the endV We know they are going to marry.' Hero's the chance for tho
unexpected or at least to make the expected something different.
"Thlrtenth. Itcmember that a picture can do things which no other method
of telling a story lu thi world can do. Take advantage of this and use it for all
It's worth, which is 100 per cent.
"Fourteenth. Itcmember that the art is still very young, o don't just
grouch at every plcturo and 6ay 'It's rotten!' Ask yourself what you have
done remarkable in the few short years pictures have been made."
'THAT seems simple enough, doesn't itt In a general way, I outlined
irc poinM to a man pretty high up in another company. "Yes,"
he said, "it's all true. And most producers would he glad to follow
every one of those points if you would answer just one question where
are we going to get tho good sioricst"

Agnes Ayres Finds Stardom
in Movies an Exacting Job
QCREEN stnrdora has its drawbacks.
J At least, that Is that conclusion of
Agnes Ayres after n few short weeks
of llfo following her elevation to stellnr
heights. W'hlle 6tardom naturally is the
goal of every ambitious actor or actress
and gives gcnulno opportunity to the
artist. It has its accompanying respon
sibilities which no player realizes until
stardom actually ia nehlcvcd.
"It's rush, riifh, rush from early
morning until late at night," says the
newest feminine star. "While nil tho
work is pleasant, thero Is so much of
It that it is hard to crowd it all in n
twenty-four-hour dny and still find a
Uttlo timo for rest.
"When I stop to think that I haven't
moro than stnrted on mv first star nlc.
ture, I wonder just what will ho my
plight then, what with more work and
additional worries.
"It always has been mv nmbitlon to
bo n star, since tho very first day I was
in a motlon-plcturo studio. That is tho
ambition, I suppose, of cverv girl in
pictures. But I laugh when I 'look back
at those early dajs and think of how
I Idealized tho llfo of a star. I was
very much llko tho average person who
believes n film star lives a life of luxury
and ense. I have now learned just how
Uttlo I knew when I dreamed thoso
dreams."

GLYCERINE TEARS
ARE COMING BACK
AMONG ACTRESSES
ACTRESSES may come and stars
may go but the little glycerine tear
drop rolls on forever before the relent
less movio enmern.
For n timo this substitute for the
real tear was in danger of being super
seded in supremacy by actual briny
drops from the limpid eyes of beautiful
actresses, but according to stotlsticians
of tho Lasky studio In Hollywood, the
glycerlno tear is here to stay.
The property mnn who carries the
glycerine bottle nnd eye dropper nt the
studio is an ardent supporter of the
artificial tear, nnd he says that no mat
ter how proficient an actress gets in
crying, there nre times when nothing
will do so well as a little drop of gly
cerine. "The glycerine tear has had Its ups
and downs In tho movie industry, just
like everything else." said the ubiqui
tous prop man. "When the business
wns young, no one thought of anything
but nrtificlnl tears, hut Inter, when n
few stars wero discovered who cnnhl
cry real 6alty tears, with tho aid of
sou violin music, these tears became the
oguo and tno glycerine bottle was put
on tho shelf.

actresses are acutely temperamental and
when ordered to cry they need no out
side help to make tho tears come. Still
others cannot cry nt nil. and then the
Iittlo glycerlno bottle nnd the cvo drop
per como In very handy. It 'is all n
mniter or ucgrce.
At times directors have to use rough
methods to get their nctresscs to weep.
One director recently told his star
bluntly before a crowd of fellow plny
crs that her nctlne was bad tprriMo
and that sho showed no spark of genius,
anu mat no was noouc at tlio point of
giving up.
The little actress burst Into tears nt
this tirade. Tho director called "cam
era," In a low tone, nnd tho result on
tho screen wns immense.
After tho scene the director explained
to tho actress why he hnd tnlked harshly
to her. and sho fonzave him. The nnlv
troublo with the method, however, is
that it cannot be used on the same
actress twice.
SUCII artists as Gloria Swanson,
Betty Comnson. Ethel Clnvton nnd
Agnes Ayres nre classified as "highly
emotional." They teel tho toles they
are playing so Intensely that they find
It fairly easy to cry.
Crying for tho camera Is exhnustlng
work and after a highly emotional scene
it is no uncommon slgnt In n studio to
sco tho actress slip Into a chair, com
pletely unnerved.

The
LOVE STORY
MOVIEaSTAR
77ji5 Is How the Story Begins:
jqELLA MORKLAND, most famous
of screen stars, hears that a
young girl, Annette Willcins, has
fallen in love with Roland Welles,
an idol of the screen. Miss Morelana,
to save Annette, writes the story of
her own tragio love affair twith
Welles, intending to send tt to
Annette so sho may Inow the kind
of man he is.
She tells how, while a pianist in
a movie theatre in a Western Penn
sylvania town, she met Welles when
he made a "personal appearance
there, how he invited her to come to
A'cic VorA; ond said he would place
her in the movies, how she came and
the chilly reception which he gave
her in the studio. Then, becoming
interested in her, he gets her " job,
makes love to her, proposes and she
is deliriously happy until another
woman reveals Wclfc' perfidy. Then
she quits him and the company.
Later, when she 'has achieved fpme,
Welles reappears and tries to renew
his love-making, but she knows he
wants her for her value as a film
favorite in his pictures, and she
repulses him. Desperate, she writes
a photoplay full of dangerous
"stunts," and she and II -, her
director, who has stood hy her m
all her troubles, jorcnarc to film it.

fi-rroUTII, lovo nnd romance will be

" 'Every plcturo Is ns good ns its
director' is not a fair standard.
"Many stnrs hnvc been broken by
producers, who kept them iff roles of
similar character too,'0"?-
Thcso nre somo of tho Ideas regarding
tho film industry which Cnrcwe
enunelntcd before his jdcpnrturc from
the West for New York. .
He menns them all but particularly
thp first one. , , ,
"Wo have had our regn of 'Kaiser'
films our sentience, some good, some
Indifferent of mlrnclo men and faith
i,ii.iit films! wp have hnd the reign
of tho bad Westerner nnd the vamp
and now the public taste turns nun
grllv to romance.
"Not inushincss," said the director,
who has just completed his fourth
special with Anltn Stewart as the star,
"but romanco with action with real
love nnd the clean wholesomcness which
mnde the poet sing so long ago thnt 'nil
the world loves n lover.' "
Mr. Cnrcwo has gono Enst primarily
to nrrango for a scries of independent
productions which ho will begin in
about four weeks. He expects to mnko
the first of thcso in tho East, because
the entire locale Is of tho Maine and
New England Coast.
Tho last picture this director mnde
with 3llss Stewart was "A Question of
Honor." Previous to that he made
"Playthings of Destiny," "The " In

wholly with the American producers.
But I am not going to enlarge on that
subject just now.
To return to my pictures: the par
ticular ono which wns being shown
Inst night was called "3Inry, Queen
of Scots." It wns made up of the
most picturesque and if I may coin
n word plcturable incidents in the life
of thnt unhappy and unfortunnto Queen,
beginning with her, a enrc-frce. light
hearted girl at tho court of Frnncc,
when thn world must have bcemcd nu
enchanted place to one of her pleasure
crnvlng nature. The all too brief days
of her hnppy first marrlngc were shown
in a scries of really lovely scenes.
Then came the truglc one of the
death of the poor Uttlo boy-king. And
that reminds me; II persists in
poking fun nt me because I nm deter
mined to do Catherine do Mcdlcls one
of these days. The rending I have
done has convinced mo tht sh? could
be mnde n sympathetic figure. I would
not present her ns thnt sinister and
masterful woman who stalks across the
pages of history, stalnod with crime.
Hut even so, licr crimes were more
political than .personal, and slip lived
in n bloody age, nnd fought with the
Fnme weapons which her enemies used.
But I would show her ns n woman who
for long years was made to buffer both
in her iove nnd'in licr pride.
But to return to Jlnry Stuart. The
most striking, perhaps, of all the pic
tures was tho ono showing her departure
from Calais for Scotland. It wns a
perfect triumph for II . Tho Inst
word In moving-picture art. I feel sure
that he felt repaid for all the labor
and troublo ho hnd put on it. For, it
is needless to ndd thnt II backed
me to tho limit in ray most extravagant
nnd ambitious schemes. Without his
sympathy and support, I could iiave ac
complished nothing.
