I told you that I hnd hud just a glimpse of n part of the 111m In Now York. I wlh now that I hnd seen It nil ; I didn't know then Just what an Important Innovation In moving pictures It was or I should have arranged to sit through It. But the article on I.on Chancy has accomplished ono thing that la much better than any description I could have written of tho photoplay. It has brought me a letter from Marshall Nellan, the producer, in which he asks leave to explain to you fans juBt whatj this Innovation Is, and It Is so Interesting that you will want to read it without further comment from me. Xellnn Is an Indepen dent producer I was nlmost going to say THE Independent producer work IHSK1 -? ' UNI IHRylfe' Jill tinucs acceptable. Nevertheless. 1 nm of wo must experiment, wc must try things that have not been known and identified as 'sure-fire' entertainment. ,,.,,. "With this in mind I created 'Bits of Life.' It was readily evident that '-this production was a radical experiment, although 1 am now reconnDiy certain It Is no longer an experiment, for 1 have tested it with every type of motion picture audience before I huve sanctioned its release. JA THIS production J cndiavor to tell four separate and distinct i stories. It is, in Wiorr, the magazine idea on the screen. I'nlike any produotion in which more than one story has been told, each story in 'Hits of Life' is entirely different in theme and construction from the other. rnnE four btories in 'Bits of Life' do not run parallel with each other 1 throughout the six reels nor do they, as did Knoblock's 'My Lady's Dress,' carry out one central idea. Each story Is told by itself, whereupon another otory is told, just as wc rend short stories in magazines. No general idea la carried through each of the four stories, nor does the plot of one have anything to do with that of another. "As n matter of fuct. it has been my endeavor to make the four stories eU wldelj different from each other ns possible. My idea in doing this was to lend variety to the production ns n whole nnd to cater to every possible motion-picture appetite in one production. "Thus we start in 'Bits of Life.' with 'The Bad Samaritan,' by Thomas McMorrow. Next we show 'The Man Who Heard Everything,' by Walter Turnbull. Hugh Wiley's 'Hop' follows, and we conclude with an original script by mji self. 'The Strange Adventure.' "The firt story is a satire, the second a comedy drama, the third n melo drama, and the fourth n farce. Thus it Is seen that every person who pntronlzct the motion-picture theatre should hnd something In this picture that has parti cular appeal. . Four widely different types of plot are offered, and In one of the stories, for those who believe that the tragedy should find its place on the screen, wc also attempt to satisfy their desire In this respect. However, to nvoid a 'bad taste in the mouth,' we present ns the climax to the entire picture a highly farcical sltuntion that will tend to make ou leave with n smile. "In this way we overcome the complaints ngaln-t the unhappy ending nnd still make it possible to present it on the motion-picture screen. It is therefore quite clearly illustrated that In the fart mat we cater to every type oi mouuu picture audience, we find the greatest strength of the Idea. "Owing to the fact thnt the market for short storieB has been neglected by the producer of feature pictures for many years. It Is readily evident that a wealth of wonderful motion-picture material may bo found In this typo of story. Except in cases wiierc producers linve purchased such stories to obtain a cer tain situation and in rare Instances where they have felt thnt they could pad the story to bring it up to the standard footage of the feature production, the short story field has not been touched by producers of six nnd more reel features. "The wealth of exceptional story material here, that now can be embodied in blf productions along the lines emplojed in 'Bits of Life.' is another strong fundamental reason why I believe such productions ns this will be found popular with both the public nnd the producers. In 'Hop' for Instance, there Is a climax that I do not believe has ever been duplicated on the screen. Yet because it was a short story, It has never been considered for feature production. "Of course, in the pres'-utntion of such stories with one production there must be somo punctuntlon between plots. To obtain ttils 7 start the picture with a letter to the public. Between stories close-ups of this letter, pertaining to these stories, are flashed on the screen. In addition to this, the magazines from which the stories weie taken are presented between stories in such a way ns to bring them Into tho general scheme In u natural manner. it AXOTHER important advantage in making such a picture is that it enable me to present to the public the trork of the most popularly talented artists in the moit minor paits. As each story u portrayed 01 o diffcicnt cast I could veil affoid to tngatjc the best players for ,S"V every part, as none of the individual stories took more than tlucc icceks to produce. It n therefore poisible to offer In- one production a gnlary of talent such us has never been disclosed in one picture before." Daily Tabloid Talts to Fans on Breaking Into the Movies By JOHN EMERSON and ANITA LOOS The authots of liu scrtes are the famous Emerson and Loos, cho have written some of the most successful photoplays. They now have full charge of all scenarios for Constance Talmadgc. Hints on Amateur Production rpHE great initial expense for amateur J. film making is. of course, the outlay required to buy a camera. In most towns of nny size there are now pro fessional film cameramen who work for the news reel companies nnd who may be hired for a comparatively smnll sum. If, however, you desire to make our photoplay an entirely nmnteur uffnlr, yon can buy a usable second-hand camera for outdoor work for as low OS a hundred dollars. Borne one of your associates must make it his business to learn to run this camera with sufficient skill to In sure that your film will hot bo wasted. Tho next important outlay Is that of the film Itself. Film costs about eleven or twelve cents a foot when de veloped nnd printed. Therefore Oio cost of production depends largely upon the length of your picture. For a first attempt we should advise you to keep your photoplay within liOOO feet, or two reels. Start by writing n simple story into a scenario with as man) exterior scenes as possible. The nccessar Interiors, buch as rooms or hallways, may be. built by your own amateurs, outdoors, ns they are often buLt In Culiforula, so that no lights will be ncceseury. You .can paint your own subtitle cards .Vthe written Inserts nnd film them yourself. It Is not necessary to make the scenes la their nnturnl sequence. After thu picture- Is finished nnd developed, how-t-ver. some one miut assemble and cut if. This means thut jou must rent the use of your projection machine at your ..."--- - local theatre for a few mornings, anu act the locnl onerator to hell) you splice and cement the film together in its cor- tcct order of long shots and close-ups.

NEELY ing out In Hollywood. He put on "Hob Hampton of Placer," and Is getting Wesley Barry ready for Tarklngton's "l'enrod." He is one man who Isn't satisfied just to go nlong tho same way as the rent are ; he feels that the movies aren't perfect by any means, and that entirely now Ideas nnd new methods nrc needed to keep them, at the head of the procession. Hero's what ho says in his letter: "It is a dangerous procedure to de part from the accepted In motion pic tures. It Is n serious matter for a pro ducer to pioneer among tho uncharted sens of the cinema. Primarily It In volves a financial risk thnt most of us have hesitated to take as long ns our epnernl scheme of construction con- the belief that we must now digress, best. It Is a matter of artistic percep tion rather than nny set rule. I F YOUR scenario calls for an out- boy story which does not require cos tumes, j on should be nble to mako It for a thousand dollars, provided your amateur actors and amateur cameraman nnd amateur authors are working for nothing. There nro mighty few amateur theatricals of any pretension whatso ever which do not cost as much as this, and jou should be nble to tnke in a good profit if our picture is exploited in your locnl city. As n matter of act, pictures have not always been produced on tho scale that they are today. Ten jcars ago feature pictures rost from .!i()00 to .$"000 to make, and in those days film and cam eras were much more expensive. Tho ptoduccrs simply made outdoor pictures which required no lights or scenery, nnd saved on the salaries of actors and di lectors, which have multiplied twenty times since then. Today the average feature picture costs from $."0,000 to $1.10,000 to pro duce. One recent motion plcturo cost nearly a million dollars to produce. This is because tho salaries of actors, direc tors and authors have risen so enor mously. But tbcro is no reason why an nma teur companj. In which the cost of sal aries Is completely ullmlnated, cannot make its own picture at a minimum expense. If you want to break into the motion pictures, hero is u way to do It right In your own home town.

THEItE has been a good deal of con jecture, both nbout what actress would mnke the best Miss Lulu Belt nnd nlso who would be chosen. Pirt it was announced that Mildred Harris would piny the part, nnd then a day or so later Lois Wilson was cast. How somevcr, it was through no fault of Mildred's. The two girls simply changed places, Mildred taking Lois' place as leading woman for Tom Melghnn in "A Prince There Wns." Lois makes an idenl Lulu Bett. She is absolutely in character shy. shrink ing, afraid of life, seeking always to una her level. She was doing a scene with Milton Sills, v ho takes the part of Nell Or nish, the man Lulu cvcntunlly marries. Poor irl she had on n drab-looking cnlico gown, dragging to htr heels; her hair jklnned back, her face pnle mid tiled. She flatten d and ticmbled. nt n loss to know which way to turn, when sho found that Milton hnd come to call on her. Her fint cnller I Little May Giratci, who played In "Conrad in Quest of His Youth," does the "chlttcing" Monona Deacon, with her pretty curlH nil done up in pigtails. Theodore Roberts is to do Uwight Den- con, and although it won t be Zonn Gale's character, in nil probability it will be made n distinctive portrayal. Gollies, that sounds stilted I ell you know what I mean, dears. Clarence Burton is Nlnlnn Deacon, who opens up a new life to Lulu. He's n wonderful ,ms for the pait, too. Nice man jou'd like him. He is pevor In evidence without n rather decrepit looking Boston bull nnmed Niiko. He always stands diiectli be hind Mr. Burton, who has learned from lone experience not to take n back step. Nieko never chases cats, though there are plenty of them around the stmiio. lie has just one thought in his little head, and that is Mr. Burton. There must be something very nice about n man who inspires so much devotion in a littlo dog. The set of "Mis- Lulu Bett" is unique. Tho whole house is built all hut the roof.

A v..,.'MlnmJjitehxr . - r u ; CIIAPTEll XVI EVERYBODY in the world ought to go to at least ono motlon-plcturo exhibitors' convention, it seems to me certainly they'd lenrn things about human nature that they'd never sus pected before. Tho one to which I went on my way to New York was held In tho Coliseum, in Chicago nn immense place it is, yet when I went Into it thnt sweltering day it seemed small nnd crowded. There were booths nil around tho sides of thn huge hall, as well ns in aisles down tho middle, all of them jammed with l'cople, and hung with photographs nnd ell paintings nnd nil the rest, of the paraphernalia of the motion-picture publicity office. These booths hnd been taken by the various organizations thnt make movies and you would realize. If ou saw such n collection of them, thnt you'd never heard of n good many of them nud by all sorts of companies thut had. anything nt all to do with the movies. Mnkers of projection machines, photographers, fan magazines tho "fan" being nn nrdent surportcr of tho movies In fact, everybody and every thing that could profit by publicity given to motion pictures was there. And in the very center wns a huge stage, retched by n gangplank that ran off nt the back of tho galleries. It wns nbovc the heads of the crowd that kept milling about beneath it, so that the persons who stood on it could cnslly he seen nil over the hall. And there tho actors and actresses who hnd come to make personal appearances would stand nnd talk to tho crowd not that they could be heard ! and then go hack to the booth owned by the company for which they worked, nnd meet the people who wanted to shnke hnnds with them, und nutogrnph their photographs, and all that. That platform was really nlmost like nn auction block. Those whose popu larity was waning were likely to get nn inkling of it, when they didn't get as much applause as some young and rising star did. And If somebody who wasn't very well known enmo out, nnd the public liked them awfully well, they'd know It, too. I remember 'so well Mno Murray's appearance sho arrived there the day 1 did. She wns a "comer" then, but hadn't hnd much opportunity ct to show whnt slip could do. She had on a white suit and n scnrlct tarn, nnd she wns the prettiest thing you ever sow. The crowds simply shouted for her they were nil ready to like her in pic tures even before they'd seen her on the screen. Of course, the displny of enthusiasm on the part of the great crowds that thronged the building was an important thing, from the point of view of the or ganizations selling pictures. You sec, there were hundreds of exhibitors there the very men to whom those pictures must be sold, or who, if they already had a contract to show a certain com pany h pictures, must be kept in the light frame of mind to keep on showing them. Thnt explains n rather funny thing that happened the day I was thero. There was to be n huge ball the next night, und n popular vote was to decide who would lend the grand march. Bill Hart, who wasn't even there, was well In the lead he has never been more" popular than ho wns then. There were two other mnlc stars, who were there in person, who wanted the honor one n man whoso popularity wns waning, the other n younger man who hnd just made the best picture of his career. Tho older man came out on the plat form in tho nftcrnoon, nnd wait given nn ovation ; he hnd been one of the pioneers of picture making, nnd wns really popular. Besides, he'd always had Ills fan mall answered, and done nil he could to let the public know thnt he appreciated their favor. As It hap pened, he might have had enough votes to make a good showing in the contest for lending the grand march, but he wanted to he sure of it, so he bmight I don't know how many votes for him self. The younger man hoard of this, and was furious. Ho knew that the older one had been given n good contract with a big organization not long before, nioToriAYs AILL. 12th.
