WHEN you first talked with Louis Mercanton If you didn't know about him you would be puzzled to decide from hU accent just what his nationally vtvs. Every now nnd then you would get n suggestion of French, but mostly jrou would be Impressed by the broad English that would make you wonder It you hadn't met him under the shadow of Old Tom tower In Oxford. Mercanton Is all 'French so far as blood Is concerned, but he has spent so much of his time In England that he has acquired the English way of talking. Probably ou ncrcr heard of Mcrcanton and so you can't see what dif ference It makes to jou who or what he Is. Well, you will hear of him. In Entlnnd and France he is widely nress-ogented In the newspapers as the only producer of motion pictures who can compare with I. W. Griffith. And he was In this country recently arranging for the marketing of hi productions hcrci I met him In New York aud had several chats with him. And I found that he had a number of theories about motion pictures that we're different from the usual run. For instance, his favorite dictum Is: "Oct your stories. Kill your stars. Stars are enemies of art " That In Itself is enough to start an endless argument among the movie fans In this country. And another of his theories though it concerns the producers ratlcr than the fans Is that It is silly to build costly and elaborate sets thut only Imitate the real thing. He helices In taking his whole outfit to the actual cenc called for by the script nnd making his picture right on the very spot wanted. yOVLL soon sec one of Mcrcanton' a productions that trill shoic you the results of his ideas. It is a picturi:ation of Anthony Hope's "I'hroso," with Malvinn Longfellow as the feminine lend. English author French producer American actress. There's an international combination. IN MAKING "I'hroso" for the screen this French pioneer toured all over Southern France, trundling his paraphernalia about In big army camions, and suddenly dumping it out and beginning to "shoot" as 6oon as he came upon the Ideal castle or Ullage or bit of woodland. "I should say the method is ,"0 per cent cheaper than the method now In toguc in America." Mercanton told me. "For Instance, In France I rented a beautiful chateau for two months at a cost of 20,000 francs (about two thousand dollars In American money nt the present rate of exchange). My entire com pany lived tberc under ideal conditions while we were making our picture which was five reels, and It took us only forty days to complete It." Mcrcanton rented an island on which was an old fort an Ideal setting for many of the epli-odes in "I'hroso." He nUo got some most unusual scenes In a'cnve four hundred feet underground In which it was impossible for the players V.f to stay more than an hour at a time, when It was necessary to come up for air. The cavp, bald the trench producer in ccscriuing mis hiuiu, was mi underground grotto discovered by n peasant, whose plow struck on a rock. He blew out the rock with dynamite nnd discovered an immense spiral cavern which descended for 400 feet. It is near Cannes. France, and the walls arc a mass of Stalactites of n chalk formation. '"When we had forty or fifty lamps going for taking the pictures there was Hot much air. I gave the peasant about one hundred dollars for the use of the , cave and we obtained some very unusual scenes stuff which could not be dupli cated In a built-up set, no matter whut the cost." nJERCAXTOX'S outfit includes eighty small unit lamps, and their if paircr is furnished direct from the big motor lorries ichich carm them about. They arc capable of lighting up any scene to the distance of a quarter of a mile. . F ILMINR a congregation when they French producer. He wanted to take Bolntcs-Maries-ilc-la Mermar during the of the mints. It was In this picture that the grent trench actress, Jtejane, acted for the last time before her death, and in which Jean Ilichcpin, the famous French author, who wrote the story, plajed nnothcr of the choractcrs. With the permission of the parish priest, n sunlight arc and other lamps were erected In the organ loft of the old church. Two cameras were concealed in the gaftcry. Just as the relics of the saints were being reverently lowered according to time-honored custom, a golden rninbow of light shot ocross them. The pea sants believed that a miracle had been performed and fell upon their knees with cries of wonder. "The village carpenter in charge of lowering the relics almost spoiled our j)icture, though," snid Mercanton. "He thought he would give us "full value,' to he took half an hour to lower them In place of the usual two minutes, and we dared not shout out for fear of revealing the trick to the kneeling congre gation." The cast in "Fhroso" is one of the most cosmopolitan imaginable. Actors of nine different nationalities take part In it. It is the Frenchman's custom to grab up some one whom he sees on the streets and thinks would fit into a certain role. It wus in this way that he engaged Ivor Novcllo, his latest screen "find." Kovcllo is a oung English tomposer who jumped Into fame by writing the music for "Keep the Home Fires Hiirnlng." NovpIIo Is distinctly romantic looking. but had never even thought of aulng. One day Mcrcanton saw a photograph of Kovello. "Get me that boy." he commanded. When informed the hoy was a musical composer, not an actor, the producer merely raised his ejebrows, and in the same level tone repeated: "Get him." Aud get him they did. tfSLY real life rings true on the screen," says Mercanton. "So far as possible ice must abandon imitations. ll'ifAiu five years the elaborate cinema studios, ichere artificial scenes now arc erected at enormous cost, irill largely be disused. Films icill be produced not only amid real out-of-doors scenery, but in rriJ houses and professional players for all but leading roles teill not be needed."

Nearly nil of them , have risen from the ranks. Few of them. In the days when the motion picture was classed as a freak novcltv, expected the present amazing expansion of the IndUbtry. Still fewer had any concep tion of their own latent talents In phu tod rn ma tic art. But characteristics which they all hod f in common were determination to suc ceed in their profession, a modest faith in Its future, and a desire to learn the business from the ground up. It is a curious fact that many of the dlreetorM of torinv were onee automobile -JV mechanics.

Unlike the othcrt,, our own story has nothing pic turesque about It. Miss Loos was born and bred in n California town. She wni the daughtt r of a newspaper proprietor and inherited that fatal desire to write. At the age lit fourteen she sent her first scenario to Griffith; for a miracle, it was accepted hut, of couise, it wns'easy to sell stories In those days when scenario writing wus almost unheard o outside of California. 8(xin after this she paid a personal vWt to the Griffith ttudlos nnd became the jou'igest scenario dltor in the world, turning out .1 new ttory about everj six weeks.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XI T WENT gack to the ballroom with the nvowed Intention of repaylns those girls who were snubbing me In coin of their own making. I flirted with every man there, nnd because I was nn actress, they were delighted, most of them, nnd. devoted themselves to me. I didn't enjoy It; I felt hurt, nnd nngry. You see, ever since l (1 gone Into pictures I'd played around mostly with the girls who were In pictures, too, and It had never occurred to mo that people looked down on us. While I'm still on the subject, I'm going to stop talking about myself nnd tell ou what Just such a snubbing, only a more severe one, did to n girl who s In pictures. She began In serials, because she had been walking the streets hun gry, and when she heard that they wanted somebody to do stunts In one episode of n serial that was being made at one of the studlosftshc applied for the job. "I wns so worn out nnd hungry that I didn't much care whether I got hurt on not, she told me the other day, when she sat here In my living room, looking out over the city, nnd played with the gorgeous ermine .scarf that wnb thrown nround her shoulders. "In fact. I rather hoped I would get hurt and be sent to a hospital, so that I'd be sure of having food nnd a roof over my head for n while, at least." Slic wasn't hurt, and she made good nnd got a job, and finally became a star In serials. She was one of the nicest girls I've ever known ; she nnd I used to ride horseback together once In a while, nnd though we never got well enoueh ncaualntcd for her to tell me much about herself, I liked her ever so much. Then the most awful stories began to go around town about her, nnu sue be gan to act in a way that made them seem probable. 1 went East at that time, nnu so never Knew now mucn wns true and how much was just gossln. until she told me the other day.

I wouldn't, because ho was pretty wild, 'and even though I hit some of the high snots myself at that time. I knew I could alwnjs stop, and I wasn't so sure nbout him. "He did stop; though." She paused for a moment then, und her voice took on a warm, tender note that I'd never heard lu it before. "Ho braced right up, and stopped drinking, and began to save his money.
