OUR C., JANUARY 6 Born in Washington. NOT in months has Washington borne so close a relation to the origin_of a photoplay as it bears to Rex Beach's latest picture, “Big Brother.” ‘Whether you know it or not, Wash- ington was the birthplace of the idea that later culminated in & full-len novel by Rex Beach, entitled * Brother.” Rex Beach came to Washington eral months ago to attend a ses. n of “the big brother movement’ one of the local churches. He had a h“f idea that there might be a story in his visit, but he had no idea what it might be. A half-day's at- tendance, however, convinced him that {n this movement lay the germ of a big, vital story of today, and be- fore he had left Washington he had plotted out in his mind the main theme of the story that comes back here on the screen today. As soon he got back to New York, Mr. Beach outlined the idea to magazine editors and he was told to o ahead. He had & conference with esse L. Lasky of the Famous Play- ers-Lasky Corporation, and Lasky bought the screen rights as soon as the story was outlined, with .the proml that the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation would give the story & production commensurate with . it was that “Big Brother.” the screen Froduction, “was really born in Washington.
