CLOSE-UPS of the "MOVIE GAME
By HENRY
$ '' ' Tiis s f.e Day o t7ie "Trouper" in the Movies
MOVfB fans nre discovering thnt beauty Is a skin game. Good looks nro nil
very well in tlielr wny, but to use an old one, they don't weigh enough.
Tho fans wont acting now. A stnr must do more than look good ; popular
favors now arc going to tho "trouper" to the one who can play almost any
kind of part, who can sink Individuality nnd personality into tho Individuality
nnd personality of the character to be portrayed on the screen.
There have been n number of outstanding figures lately who prove this new
trend in popular opinion. Pauline Frederick's "Madame X" was one; Lon
Cbnncy's remarkable series of character ports, Harry Carey in "Overland
Jltd," Spottiswood Aitken and Itaymond Hatton in "Bunty rulli the Strings"
nnd other roles. 'Wallace Ucrry in "The Four Horsemen," Russell Simpson in
"Godless Men," Donald Crisp in "Broken Blossoms," Gcorgo Bcban, llalph
Lewis, George Arllwf, John Barrymorc all those have won outstanding recogni
tion by'complctely hiding themselves In their impersonations.
And the screen mothers! Thcy'ro drawing moro money to the box offices
than most of tho stars over whose beauty we used to rave. The whole world
seems suddenly to hove awakened to the fact that mother-love Is a pretty good
sort of nn invention, and that we ought to pay more attention to it.
Of course, when you speak of mother-love for the screen, Vera Gordon rises
up in the memory with her work in "Humorcsn.ue." Mary Alden has mothered
so much that sho has lately kicked over the truces and declared that hereafter
she Is going to play "straight" parts. It's an cven'bet she'll have n hard job
tb get them over at first. We know her as a mother nnd we don't want her to
convince us she isn't. Mnry Carr, too, who began her career as mother, both in
real life and for the screen right hero in Fhllndelphln, has become a leading hot
office attraction since her work in "Over the Hill."
MOTHERS didn't use to 60 so much in demand in the early days
of the movies. The icomen xcho played them tccre seldom heard of:
they tccre needed in ali-the studios, but they alicays pot minor parts and
m most u-omen avoided the rolcf. Hut I ran across one tho other day in
.Vcic York teho has hecn strccn-mothcring for some ten years, and
tcho still loves the icork.
ANNE I.KODY ln't known by name to the majority of you. Yet you've
"nil scon her. Nine or ton jenrs ago. when most of the present-day stars
were learning the fundamentals around the old Vilngraph studio, Anue Brody
motherc everv one of them, whether the cameras were clicking or not.
Yet Anne ha.su't chick or child of her own. Her whole mother heart
(when she isn't working) goes out in keeping house for her father and brother
and sister on St. Nicholas avenue, in New York. And when I saw her there
. she camo out of the kitchen in gingham apron nnd asked me to wnit until sue
cot the pics in the oven. ., ., ., c.
She loves to talk of nil the youngsters who have bon her children. Nip
hid just finished with "The Shams of Society" at the B-C stud os, nnd she was
enthusiastic about the real acting thnt is done for the movies thcbo dajs. lhc
highest commendation hhc can give any one is to say that he is 'a real trouper,
nnd she said just that enthusiastically about Maccy Harlam, who plays her son
In this latest picture.
"And have jou Feen my girls?" she nsked, beaming. "They are troupers,
too Sallie Tysha nnd. Gladys Fcldman the two who play my daughters In this
P "bout the movie studio they call her "Sunshine Brody" and this roly-poly,
cheerful little woman who doesn't apologize when a visitor finds her baking pies.
And she can. rummage about her apartment nnd bring out for you heaps and
piles of letters nnd postcards signed with enough famous names of filmdom to
make the autograph collector's mouth water.
For tho'.c whom she mothered in the enrly days haven t forgotten bun
shlne Brody." ...
VOLATILE, temperamental, impulsive, icith tho ready tears of a
tcarm-heartcd nature alicays closclehind her smiles, Anne Brody
still feels a protecting interest in them. There were Anita Stcieart,
Edith Storey, Corinne Griffith, Conway Tcarlc, Xorma and Constance
Talmadge, Earl Williams and dozens of others.
.
T FEEL as if they were really my own children," she said with a wistful little
1 smile. "Nine years ngd. back in the old Vitagraph days, I started in pic
tures, and it's been my privilege to play mother parts to dozens of actors and
iictresccs who arc famous now. ..,,,.
"And haven't I made hot tea for them nnd tied flannel round their throats
when they had the sore throat? 1 love them all nnd tho friendships formed In
those enrly davs still keep up. I hear from most of them every once in awhile.
"Wo were all like one big happy family back in those old Vitagraph days,
nnd I wnnt to say tlghh here that it was the best screen training nny ono could
have. Working for three directors at once, every ono requiring a different sort
of character well, we learned to troupe, all right."
One of the first "mother parts" she played was with Jean Page In an 0.
Henry story called "The Indian Summer of Dry Valley." It was the first four
reel picture ever made. Later she played a mother rolo In a five-rccler with
Agnes Ayres In the leading part. She has played a wide assortment of character
parts ranging from Italians to colored mammies.
ifyOU'VE gat to feel a part to play it convincingly," says "Sun
J shine" Ilrody. "The day of the glycerin tear is past. You must
shed real ones. It's not hard for me to do. When I'm acting for tho
screen I actually feel all the joys and sorrows of tho character, and
that's the only way any one can ever he a real trouper."

In Germany tho problem of the im

! question of the day. Smaller firms,
I which have a right to only 000 feet of
' film, havp been getting moro than their
1 share, and many imperfections in the
system have been discovered.
In spite of the prohibition to trnfllc
in theso films Nevcral firms have found
n moans of passing them over to others
who had bought them. Tho contingent
of fiM.OOO feet has been grcntly ex
ceeded. Slnco July 1 no more authori

Is, moreover, reported thnt thero will

VIOLA DANA LOOKS

BERT LYTELL NOW
By CONSTANCE I'ALMEK
Hollywood, Calif.
VIOLA DANA hears a striking re
semblance to Bert Lytcll in her
maLe-up for "Glass Houses," In which
she is working now.
She has the bobbed
hair drawn back

big, horn - rimmed

She wears n black
nlpaca dress and a
Buster Brown col

course, Bert
doesn't, but the
vior.A dana likeness is there
just the same. Just wait till you see her.
I never cared much fpr Miss Dana
before, but watching her work yester
day the opinion is somewhat modified.
She's got that something.
In tho story she Is n little rich girl,
whose wealth is dissipated by extrava
gant living on the part of the family.
Viola decides to take a job, but no one
will havo her becauBO she's toogood
looking. (Wish I'd had the samo dif
ficulty. Hej, Genevieve?)
So bhe dons the nlpaca dress, which
is cut on what is popularly supposed
to be New England lines, nnd slicks
the hair back, nnd hides behind the
glasses. Quick she got um job.

Cupid Plays Havoc
at Western Studio
THE depression In the motion-picture
industry doesn't seem to have
affected the affections of the movie
plajers. if we arc to judge by recent
happenings at the Goldwyn studios.
Gloria Hope, who was plnylng the in
genue in "The Grim Comedian," a
story written for the Bcroen by Rita
Weiman, became engaged to Lloyd
Hughes, n well-known screen artist,
while engaged in tho picture.
Her betrothal followed in line with
the marriage of Tom Moore, the Gold
wyn star, to Reneo Adoree, whom lie
met while both were ploying in "Mnde
in Heaven" tho press ngent has made
much of the name!
Leatrire Joy, another Culver City
plajer. also heard the twang of the art
fill Little Fellow's bow and tho result
was her engagement to Jack Gilbert,
motion-picture director nnd nctor.
And eerjhody knows, of course, of
the reported marital intentions of May
Collins and Chnrllo Chaplin an en
gagement which began to bo rumored
while Miss Collins was playing in
"All's Fair in Love," on the Goldwyn
lot.

THEM ALL
FILM OLD MISSION
FOR FIRST TIME
IN eSLIPPY McGEE"
FOR the first time in its hundred
and fifty years, the interior of the
historic church at San Gabriel Mission,
"the mother of Los Angeles," has been
photographed In a motion-picture scene.
The sacred landmark, In longer con
tinuous use than nny other In the chnin
of California missions, is to be shown,
with its piiceless icttings. in IheMo
rosco film production, "Sllp,py5Ic-
1 u," .
in tne nunospnerp rrcsered since the
cays of civilization's dawn on the Pa
cific Const were temporarily installed
the trappings of tho most modern sci
ence. Brought into sharn contrast with
I the ilickering nltnr candles, where they
I have butned for a century nnd n half,
were tne most powerful lights used in
iiiotiou-picturo photography. While
c'oino nnd sootlights wcie placed in the
interior, huge "sun-arcs" on scaffold
ings on the outside sent flooding lays
through tho windows set In walls five
feet thick. Through .tho old. linml-
hrwn doors swinging on tho 0riein.1l
pivot hinges, large electric cables were
laid to carry more than 200.000 candle
power, which wns furnished by nn im
mense portnble generntor driven by n
Liberty motor and designed nt a cost of
more than $85,000.
Wliile cameras clicked Samuel Do
Grase in the story'a rolo of the priest,
went through certain of the church
services before the filled pews. The
fathers asslbtcd Director Wesley Bug
gies in the proper dressing and genernl
arrangement. DeGrassc himself needed
llltle special conclilng because of his
familiarity with proper procedure. As
a young mnn he studied for tho priest
hood Tfter !mins been an nltnr boy.
The carrying of Marie Conway Oem
ler's widely read story to the mission
for filming wns mndo possible only by
special permission from tho bishopric,
nnd was in keeping with tho Morosco
aim to reproduce the book on tho screen
with the utmost fidelity to tettings nnd
clmospliere. For seven weeks the Mo
losco company worked under tho direc
tion of Ilugglcs in Natchez, where tho
Mississippi surroundings were caught.
AT ONE time In the taking of tho
-mission scenes, the photographic ac
tivities rt-ere halted while n missionary
son of the Immnculnte Hcnrt of Mnry
threaded his w'ay through the row of
lightH, followed by two young parents,
descendants of tho Indian to whom the
f nrly padres had brought tho new faith.
1 he mother carried a baby in Iicr arms
to the ndjolning bnptistery, where the
ccreinoiiies were performed ns they hnvu
been more thnn 10,000 limes since the
founding of the mission. Tho bnptlsmnl
fount is of iinnd-hnmmcred copper, the
work o' tho Indians, whom the padres
taught their first knowledge of tho
crafts.
Also each hour was marked through
tho dny by the famous old bells in tho
campanile. These bells, originally eight
and brought from Spain, hourlv hnve
tolled the passing of tho dnys fpr lfiO
j cars. Tho statues and paintings in
the interior of tho church also nro from
Spain, the work of Artists of the six
teenth century nnd gifts from the King
of Spnin ruling nt the time of the found
ing of tho missions. There Is also the
famous symbolic pnintlng representing
tho Blessed Trinity by tho noted artist
Lucas Menn.
"And Her Name Was Maud"
"Maud" is the name of tho newest
i-croen star. "Maud" co-stars with
Doughis MncLcnn in "Pnssing
Through." his latest picture. She puts
real pathos into what is otherwise a
rather trite and frivolous plot.
"Maud" deserves nil the nralso nhn
gets, for sho is subtle, pensive nnd
imaginative in her delineation of Hm
character sho portrays. In fact sho is
the real thine, for "Maud" and this
is no detraction from her work as on
artist la just a plain Missouri mule.

AND HERE IT CONTINUES
CHATTER XXII
I WAS so thrilled tho night that Mr.
Sandy phoned me to come down to tho
Rlalto and see our new plcturo that
my feet didn't seem to touch the earth.
It was to bo shown for Mr. Rothapfcl,
who decided whether n picture would
be booked there or not nt that time
tho theatre was not signed up In nd
vanco for a regular program and sev
eral big exhibitors, men who owned
several thcatreo, or had ono n n large
city, wore to bo there.
Mrs. Lane nnd I nrlvcd nt the theatre
just as the crowd was pouring out
nfti.r 1in Inst nhow : she saw Alice
Joyce, and went across tho lobby to talk
with her, ana 1 stoou near one 01 me
doors nnd watched tho people, wonder
ing if they'd go to see me on the
screen, nnd whnt they'd say about me.
I wanted desperately to have them like
me, and write 1110 fan letters, nnd
nnmp their babies nftcr me, nnd be rca
friends of mine, ns they were of some
of the stars. ,
Presently we went into the thentrc
nnd sat down in about tho middle of
the m'nln floor. The lighting effects at
the thentre were very good, nnd Mr.
Rothnpfcl had them tried out' for us,
nnd the hnlf dozen men with whom Mr.
Sandv nnd the stnr were' tnlkine nil
wandered nround and discussed tho news
thnt had been In tho dny's papers. 1
wondered how on earth they could!
Finally n voice up In the box where
the projection machine wns called
"Rendy," nnd every one settled down,
nnd the lights went out. Mr. Sandy
was sitting just behind me, with the
star a few seats beyond him. nnd the
other men near. Mrs. Lane sat next mo
on one side, .but tho scat. between mo
nnd the aisle, on the other side, wns
vacant.
Then, just ns the nnmes of the enst
were thrown on tho Bcrecn, somebody
enmc down the nlslo and slipped into
the scat beside me. It was too dark for
mo to see anything nt first, but some
thing vaguely familiar about the mnn
mndo me turn nnd look nt him again.
Then n scene wns shown which wns
very light, and in the reflection I saw
his face. It was Derry Winchester!
Some force quite outside myself
seemed to grip me nnd shake me vio
lently. I couldn't brcntlie, I couldn't
even think. Derry nt last ! And to
meet him this wny, nt my first big pic
ture. I wondered if somebody hnd told
him nbiut it, and that was why he hud
come. I wondered how long he luul
been homo, nnd if he hnd seen Isabel
Death, nnd most of all, just what he
and I would mean to each other now,
after nil this time.
I turned nwny from him nnd looked
nt the screen, trying to hco how whnt
I hnd done would nffect him. I remem
bered different scenes in which I hnd
done pretty good work what would
ho think of them? Well, nt lenst he'd
have to admit thnt Id lenrncd not to
stand on one foot when the hero kissed
me! Thnt was a trick they'd often
laughed at mo for when I wns nt Fine
Arts.
But ns the picture went on nnd on I
begnn to realize that something was

under Wlllinm D. Tnylor nnd, in
cidentally, is musing nil hands to
full in love with her
wrong. The story wns just tho same,
but lots of the stuff we hnd taken
wasn't there nt nil. I'd known, of
ccurse, thnt we'd shot n lot moro film
than could possibly bo used, as tho
picture had to be cut to five reels, which
Is about COCO feet of film, but I hadn't
had nny Utea thnt so much of it would
hnvc to como out.
Finally I rcnlized whnt hnd hnp
pencd. It wns my stuff that hnd been
cut I My best scenes had cither been
eliminated iltogether or else cut to 11
mere flash. Tho star wns there all
right one close-up after nnothcr; ro
belliously, , with the tears hot In my
eyeii, I admitted thnt he wns good in
ivery one of them. But I wns hardly
noticeable nt all.
I slumped down in my scat and bit
my lips furiously. So this was whv
Mr. Snndy hadn't let mo see the picture
in the projection room nt the studio.
He'd decided that I wasn't any good,
and that the easiest thing to do would
be to let me know it in this wny.
Probably he wanted to release me from
my contract, nnd let mo go back to the
Coast nnd try to get back into come-
dies again.
And I'd been glad that Derry was
there to sec my big rllcturc! This
wns the most humiliating moment of
my career, and he hnd come back Into
my life in time to witness it! I cot nn.
stumbled over Ills feet with a inuttcied
word of apology, pulling my hnt brim
down so that he wouldn't recognize me,
end hurried out to the lobby. I felt
tnnt, it 1 sat there another moment, Id
tcrcam.

High Altitude Affects
Art of Screen Players
HIGn nrt doesn't flourish In high
altitudes. That was the discovery
which tho Goldwyn company, filming
"Tho Mnn From Lost River," made
when It went to Huntingdon Lake,
Calif., to make use of the beautiful
timber country as a background for
the story.
The spot picked out for the scenes
is 7000 feet nbove sea level. After half
a dny's work Director Frank Lloyd
found that the rarefied atmosphere nt
this height so affected tho vitality of
tho players that It was difficult for
them to "put over" tiic emotional
scenes. So Lloyd brought his com
pany back to the studio nnd built n
replica of the Interior of the cabin in
which much of the nctlon tnkes place.
The magnificent Sierra country wns
used, however, throughout most of the
picture.
