WBL H HAYS and directors and screen artists are to hold a big meeting for a discussion. of their problems as soon as it can be ar- ranged. The president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America has issued the invitation to the gathering In the form of a telegram to the players' board of co: trol of the Paramount Stock Com- pany School at Hollywood. ‘The telegram was the reply to one sent recently by the board to Mr. their new effort to improve the stand- ards of the profession and to protect them from scurrilous attacks. ‘When held the gathering will be the firat of its kind in the history of the industry. ‘That it will have a re- action upon the pubMc attitude to- ‘ward the industry and its workers is the belief of Mr. Hays, who says in his telegram that he has “an abiding faith that necessary co-operation and generous help will come from all thinking people, who must recognize that our assodfation's purpose—'to establish and maintain the highest possible moral and artistic standards in motion picture production'—is an effort for the gopd of all.” The Paramourit Players' board of control i{s made up of Thomas Mel- ghan, Conrad Nagel, Theodore Rob- erts, Lols Wilson and Sylvia Ashton. Their telegram to Mr. Hays was as follows: “Mr. Will H. Hays, President Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, 522 bth avenue, New York city: “We, the undersigned. representing the members of the Paramount Stock Company, desirous of fostering the ideals and purposes set forth by you as head of the motion picture in- dustry, pledge to you in our first meeting that we shall do every: in our power to further the su of the program which you have laid out ‘to attain and maintain the high- est standard of achlevement for the motion picture’ To your efforts in keeping the screen to a standard of wholesomeness and high artistic en- deavor consistent with American tra- ditlon we also pledge our heartiest co-operation. “We pledge you that both in our work and personal conduct, following the code of ethics laid down for mem- bers of the Paramount Stock Com- pany, we shall strive unceasingly to protect the good name of our pro slon. Heretofore such effort has been individual. With the formation of this stock company it has become col- . RIA lective. A® a body of men and women working wholcheartedly toward the tdeal which you have set, we ask you to glve us vour assurance of prote: tlon against scurrilous attacks For our eéncouragement and satisfaction might we have a statement from you setting forth your plan of co-opera- tion with the people who are engaged in the actual work of producing mo- tion pictures, ly, the actresses, actors and directors? Mr. Hays replied as follows: layers’ Board of Control, ‘Paramount Stock Company, “Hollywood, Calif. “I have your telegram and appreci- ate it thoroughly. “Complete success in this effort is only attainable with the enthuslastic co-operation of authors, actors, di- rectors, producers, distributors, ex- hibitors and every one engaged in the industry, and also with the sym- pathetic co-operation of the public. I have an abiding faith that this necessary co-operation and generous help will come from all thinking peo- ple, who must recognize that our ai soclatiof’s purpose ‘to establish and maintain the highest possible moral and artistic standards in_motion pic- ture production’ is an effort for the good of all. , “I am especlally grateful for this collectlve action on the part of the players and directors and very soon want to arrange for a frank and full discussion with as many players and directors as possible to work out to- gether the most effective plan of co- operation. An Actor of Ninety. E “grand old man” of the Swed- ish stage and screen is Gustaf Frederikson, who is nearing the ninety mark, and who Is yet so hale and hearty and so full of life that he can give cards and spades to some of the younger generation. One of the most popular actors in Sweden, where he is affectionately known as “Frippe,” he pumbers among his triends members of the royal family, artists, actors, professional men, and, indeed there is hardly to be found man, worgan or child in the entire peninsula who does not know him and love him.

GEORGE WILD, DIRECTOR FAMOUS RIALTO ORCHESTRA SELECTED COMEDY EXCLUSIVE NEWS the rollicking | AMUSEMENTS Agnes Ayres—A Farm Girl, AGNEB AYRES is one of those girls who know what it is to get up when the roosters crow and to throw them some corn while the hired hand is doing the early morning milking before breakfast. She even knows that crops must be rotated and th: the dew must be dried out of the hay before it can be stored in the barn. None of this knowledge formed a part of her early training for motion picture acting, but it has n useful, and much of the close-to-nature com- mon sense she acquired in hey sirl- hood has stayed with her sinfe sh has become s0 successful in her pro- fegsion. It's a great asset, this background of simplicity, especially when there are great masses of people describing one as the most beautiful girl in the world, the girl with the perfect pro- file or the O. Henry girl. Miss Ayres might be excused for considering he: self somewhat superior to the o dinary run of mortals, because she is told 80 so often, but she keeps her feet on the ground and her head out of_the cloud: The masses of rambler roses on the walls of her Hollywood home and the assorted bushes grouped about the grounds in such a way that they make a riot of color during many months of the year testify to her love of | growing things. She always had this love of flowers, she says. “In Carbondale, 11, where I was born,” she says, “our little cottage was covered with roses. Father was a drugglst there and most of my early recollections are divided be- tween the brightly labeled bottles of his store and the roses around our home. “Father died when I was still very young and mother and I moved to the farm of my uncle in the southern OR the first time in the annals of fiimdom a moving picture producer has decreed that serials, chapter-photo- plays, usually released in from thirty to thirty-six reels, shall be of varylng lengths, depending Solely on the amount of worth-while material in the original story. This meansa worldwide reform in serial production and will protect the {long suffering screen patron from sit- ting through long hours of unnecessary repetition, irrelevant stunts injected to {add extraneous thrills and frequent action sequences thought up by the enterprising scenarist to obtain the re- quired footage. On the other hand, serial directors will, if there is sufficient “meat” in the orig- inal script, be able to have free rein nd exceed the conventional screen {length for productions of this nature. | The chapter-plays of the future will in many instances be but a dozen reels in lerigth or, conversely, forty or fifty thousand feet in case the story is of such merit as to render it inadvisable 10 keep it down to footage. The reasons for this change in policy are many. Very few stories ever written have | been strong enough to carry for eight- {een weeks. Magazines, the sourse of {much screen material, no longer e attempt to find manuscripts of this length. Serials have at last gained their rightful recognition as an ed cational medium, theirs is the dignity heretofore enjoved solely by features and super-productions.

And let me say that 1 always have felt a real pity for the child who has not an opportunity of seeing what & farm is like, of enjoying its pleasures and freedom. And vet there is a lot of work about it. “Our farmhouse was a rambling dwelling with a massive fireplace. On rainy evenings I loved to lie hefore it and by the light of the crackling logs read fairy tales and eat hickory nuts and winesap apples.”’ These simple tastes have remained with Miss Ayres. She still sits in front of a fireplace nights when it is cool, and she confesses thet she ix very fond of fairv tales. She also has an irresistit.e desire to cook at times. Stirring batter and mixing things up In bowls seems to carry her back to her farm days, and her friends have learned that some of the most delicious dishes that appear on her table are frequently products of her culinary skil Miss Ayres began her moving pic- ture acting as an extra in the old Essanay studio in Chicago and wei from there to New York, where she appeared in Vitagraph pictures. She did an _entire series of O. - pic tures for this compa: first Paramout picture al the Enemy.” Later she appeared under he direction of Cecil B. DeMille, in Forbidden Fruit.” “My great hope was realized.” Mi Ayres says, “when they made me a star. My first picture was ‘The Lane Thad Had No Turning.’ Her next pictures will be *Border- land,” the Wiliam De Mille produc- tion, “Clarence,” with Wallace Refd and May McAvoy, which will be re- leased in November, and “A Daughter of Luxury.” in which she will be starred. This production will be re- leased in December. Reform in Serials. they may retain their high place in the moving picture industry, it has been necessary to obtain able writers of note to evolve suitable plots. By assuring leading mnovelists that their works will be filmed with acuracy, and not padded to ridiculous lengthe. Carl Laemmle. president of the Universal Film Manu- facturing Company, has been able to obtain several notabie authors’ con- tracts to devote their energles to scripts suitable to this type of mo- tion picture production. One of our greatest difficulties has beer to find good serial stuff,” says Carl Laemmle. “Meking short serials wi throw open a brand-new field for chapter-play material to us. Not only will we be able to offer in episodic form masterpieces of many modern novellsts of note, but an unlimited amount of classics will be available for fiiming. So successful was our initlal effort, ‘The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe’ we have been convinced that as an educa- tional medium chapter-plays offer th: finest field. “‘Our desire to do something to advance the cause of education by means of the Ecreen was more than realized by our first two hietorical chapter-plays, “Win- nere of the West' and ‘With lanie. In Africa.’ Educators, historical bodies clergymen and patriotic societies were S0 enthusiastic over our we felt encouraged to produ thrills-from-history serial, ‘In the Day of Buffalo Bill' a film narrative of ploneer days, soon to be released “Educational films will not be re- stricted to the production of literary masterpieces, however. Sclence, as= well as history, will have an important part to play in the chapter-play of the future. At this time we are produc- ing a serial based on the marvels of radio-telephony, which will narrate the history, development and ad- vance of Marconi's wonderful invention This chapter-play, “The Radio King." will prove interesting not only to the young folks, but also adults here and abroad S ——— “How large is your house?” queried | Ruth Roland. “Well, I'll tell you' replied the | catechised, “it's just about big enough to cuss the cat in and not get his hair_in your mouth.” QL7 200 WED.
