CLOSE:UPS of the
Hy HISNRY
Has the Bettem Been Reached
IT BEGINS te leek very much n theuch the worst of the movie slump has
bcrn jin'sril. There nre evlilenreq of n turn upward, from the Wet come
eneeurnelnc roDerts of fiierenflnc activity nml n survey this week of the ntutlles
.. 'in nnd nlieut New Yerk gives premise of
" s i taiKcti a day or two njte in one 01 me hikh eiuciuih m um vmiiij mui
ihas studies en both roasts. I nuked him what he thought nf things aB they stand
"Well," he said, "of course, none of the ttudles here In New Yerk leek
very busy. Hut If you will get below the surface, I think you will And that they
"arc nil preparing for bigger things than they htnc done in some time.
"Yeu would be surprised te knew hew cleelv we fellow the Government
"reports en general business conditions throughout the country. Isolated sections
don't matter se much te us; what we want te knew Is the average condition
"And lately the Government reports from Washington show, for the first
time in many months, n turning upwnid. That Is our cue. It means It Is time
for us te start te meet the coming revival, for we must produce many months
nlicflcl of the time the public sees our pictures. Se we nre all beginning te
liustle around nnd leek lively, for, though there will be isolated sections showing
depression for some time te come, the upward trend in ether places Is bound te
help them, nnd n general tendency toward optimism Is the surest thing in the
World te mnkc people begin te spend their money en reasonably priced amuse
ments like the movies."
I made the investigation "below the surface' 'in the Eastern studies, and
while this week happens te be a tort of "between-the-ni-ts" period, I found
plenty of eidencc that there I a general pepping up of work.
fOK the last three tercet or mere I had found everywhere a lert of
dull lethargy. These who were working did ' half-heartedly, for
they didn't knew where their next job) were coming from, and te were
in no hurry te finish the ones they had. Ihit that has suddenly ehangctl.
HUGO BAI.LIN, who produces pictures in which his wife, the charming Mabel
Ilnllln, stars, has dropped ten yars from his ngc since the Inst time I saw
lilm. Then thev begged me te help find a htery fit for them te produce. Yeu may
remember I told you about It nt the time and invited would-be scenarists te send
rcrlpts te them. ,
On Thursday I saw them again and they were about ns happy a couple as
I ever saw, barring honcjmeoncrR and new divorcees. Fer they have found net
one suitable story, but three. And they all came in at once.
Sir. nallln Is new deep in the intricacies of writing the continuity for the
first production and they will stert work 01 men ns it is finished. And the
possession of the ether two scripts guarantees th-m against their recent heart
breaking spell of inactivity, forced by lnck of anything fit te work en.
While there's nothing official In it, I'm expecting Cosmopolitan studies te
resume work Immediately. Thc have recently slewed things down because of
distribution difficulties, but this, as I understand it. has been ndjusteil nnd the
verv fect that they have announced Marien Davies' "Kneluintment" and "det
Rick Quick Wallingford" In the trade papers for early release proves that some
arrangement has been made.
.Marien Davies herself will return within n week or ee from her long stay
en the West Coast. That Itself is significant.
Pnthe's organization Is pushing ahead en the present Hutch serial nnd
officials ndmltted te me that work Is being ruhed because they have another
chapter thriller which they want te get under way as seen ns they can.
Irene Castle's announced vaudeville contract isn't going te take her out of
pictures. She's going te de vaudeville en the tide. She will work for the next
three or four weeks before the camera, play vaudeville while the film is being
cut nnd edited, then make another picture and se en.
Edwin Hollywood, Miss Cabtle's director, is just about working his head
off in the Estee studies en East 1124th btrect, getting some of the sets ready
for an immediate sheeting.
The Trl-Art people, whose first attempt at a different kind of picture was
"The Beggar Maid." are starting n new one. "Thr Yeung Artist." This is
the cemrnny I told you nbeut recently, built upon tin Idea of a jeung girl art
Atudent who formed the organization in order te brlns mere cloudy te public
nttentlen the great works of pnlntlng nnd sculpture. Each photoplay story is
built upon some one of the world's mnstcrpiee?.
The big Tex studies, for the first time In my knowledge, nre absolutely
devoid of production activity. But this doesn't mean there's nothing doing there.
It Just happened that all the companies have finished almost simultaneously and
the various sets, are being struck nnd new ones built, while the directors arc
cutting the stuff ttiey have just made. The '11 all be at it again seen, the most
' Interesting news te me being that Bill Fnrnum is back nnd thnt Herbert Brenen,
formerly director of the Tnlmndges nnd mere recently of I'earl White, will handle
the menaphene for him. Brenen is just finishing the continuity of the Rtery.
Dick Bnrthelmcss nnd his company are bnck in New Yerk after three week
down in Maine. They are finishing the sheeting of the present story nnd will
probably iml work next week. Then, after a week of prcparatlen.cDlck will
start a new one.
William Christie Cabanne, the R-C director. Is sheeting close te twenty
four hours a day up at the old Metre studies en Sixty -first street. I never
knew a director who se much hated eating :ind sleeping during the making of n
photoplay. They seem such a waste of aluable time te him. Seme day I'm
expecting him te divide his company into three shifts of eight hours each and
fctand ever the whole three hlmelf. It's a pity he wasn't working when they
changed from daylight-saving time. It would have given him an extra hour.
50, YOU SEK, thing are looking decidedly mere eptuniitic. I'm
only hoping that the stuff that all thcic hard-working folk turn out
trill be the kind of stuff that you and I uant.

I dashed up the btairs two nt n time,

.md spread them around en the bed. I
didn't have very mnny clothes, because,
of course, I hadn't hnd much money te
spend en such things, but mother had
sent me all my last summer's things
and two new dresses, and while we
were wetklng nt Fert Lee I'd bought
some things.
New Yerk is nn nwfully discouraging

because ever body wears coats, and the

The upkeep en that frock was simply

me $1 every time tiiey washed It. The
Chiiriman ut the corner charged me

as well, and left the blue part looking
sneaky. I'd tried delus It myself, in
the laundry at the club, nnd it looked
worse than when the Chinaman did it.
Luckily, I sent It te the French place
just before I went te Cape Ced, se It
looked simply wonderful that after

CLYDE COOK SPENT
ONE NIGHT IN AN
ALARMING PLACE
LYDE COOK was an ncter In
iVustrnlin, his native Innd, before
coming te this country, nnd loves te
reminisce nbeut the misadventures that
befell him during his first season ns :i
plnycr ln nome of the remote districts
of Austrnlln.
Cook relates hew nt one time, owing
te the exigencies of travel, getting from
one night stand te nnether, It was
necessiiry for the troupe te travel sev
eral nights In Miiressien, with but
llttle sleep for the plaers.
At last, arriving in a little hnmlet
en the borders of the Australian Bush,
he decided te hook n quiet rooming house
wheie he could sleep nil day undis
turbed, rather than tnke'u chance in n
bustling, noisy hotel, with the chntiees
of being awnkened every few minutes,
lie finally found such n plnce above
a store en n seemingly quiet street, and
prepared for the long-deferred slumber
he ie badly needed.
HE HAD, however, s.carcely closed
his oes in slumber before he was
awakened by a fusill.ide of shots thnt
Ireught him te 'us senses In a hurrv.
His weariness getting the better of him.
he linnllv vteeiiieil that even if n f'njjcdv
had been enacted in the same house,
he would go te sleep and fergi t all
about it. Ne sooner had he drifted into
repose than the sheeting was resinned.
After two repetitions of this experience,
he rose, diessed himself and repalrcJ
te the hotel he had passed up.
In explaining the sheeting. Coel;
