AMUS EMENTS. To Illustrate Screen Technique. PICTURE fans who are interested in photoplay writing will be given | & novelty in connection with the showing “Judgment of the Storm,” | the first Palmer Photoplay Corpora- | tion production, this fall In addition to contests locally con- ducted in all key cities of the lnlm-ll States, with pri gEregating $1.650, for the best 100-word constructive criticisms of the picture by the fans, analyses of the photoplay, from the standpoint of screen play technique, will be published for the benefit of aspiring | photoplaywrights. These analyses will be written by experts connected with the corporation’s educational department. and will deal with phases of the story which best serve to illu: nportant points in the art of iting. Written les Middleton, who was trained in screen play writ- ing by the corporation; directed by Del Andrews and featuring in the cast Llovd Hughes, Lucille Ricksen, George Hackathorn and Myrtle Sted- man, the picture is declared essen- tially of the new type of screen of- fering advocated by the recent Con- on Motion Picture Art.

CHARLLS MURRAY, the screen co- median, admits times have changed in the making of short-subject comedies. The announced release of ‘Hogan's Aristocratic Dream” in a new edition by Tri-Stone Pictures, Inc., in which Murray starred when he was a member of the old Keystone company, reminded him of the different working conditions which existed then. “We never knew exactly what ere going to do in those days,” Somebody thought that it would funny to produce the dream of a tramp with fastidious tastes, in case he dreamed he was a real aristocrat. That the continuity. he cast would then be turned loose with a camera man with the general direction ‘be funny.’ The day's work usually ended when all members of the cast were too bruised from trying stunts to be able to do any more. Every morn- ing you got a calldown for not being funnier in the scenes shot the day be- fore. I will say it is a little bit easier now with the responsibility for humor being divided amongst the author, the con- tinuity writer, the director and the acto we h, said. be She Calls It Luck. LMA RUBENS never pulls the old bromide of *hard work” when asked as to how she attained stardom on the screen. She says she was lucky enough to resemble the main figure in a paint- ing hung in the Paris salon and named ““The Passion Flower."” “Catherine Carr had written a very dramatic story on a theme suggested by the painting and the Triangle exec- ¢ | utives were looking around for some one to play the leading role,” she explains. “I was with Triangle at the time and my best roles have been in support of Douglas Fairbanks. Miss Carr saw me and said I was the one for the part, be- cause I looked so much like the original of the painting. I was given the part and the success of ‘I Love You,' which was the title under which it was re- leased, really gave me my start It was some start, for Tri-Stone Pic- thinks she is so good in “1 Love that it has been selected as the second release of the new editions of the most famous of the Triangle fea- tures. LEADER THEATER 9th Near E St. D. C., AUGUST Ears and NOW that “Ashes of Vengeance,” starring Norma Talmadge, is completed, . George Westmore, hair- dresser to Norma and Constance, re- veals two or three secrets of interest to extra girls and men who failed to Bet parts in the production. “Most of the girls who failed to obtain parts in the production lost out because, in spite of repeated ad- vice, they refused to uncover their ears,” says Westmore, Bared ears were in vogue during the period of the picture, but most of the girls of 1923 couldn‘t understand why they should reveal them. “‘It's 50 unbecoming,’ declared the girls, ‘we just won't wear them that way.’ “Very well,’ I said, ‘no ears, no pay.’ “We ‘hairdressers scldom have any trouble with the principal players in costume productions, but the extras are holy frights,” s Westmore. “Imagine extra women who wiil 1923—-PART 3.
