And then Charlie add: Pcople laugh at us, and some of our productions are dreadful enough, I'll admit, but I contend we are opening people’s eyes, and not only to the delight of the eye. The movies ! are the beginning of a keyhole into the way the other half of the world lives; people one hasn’t seen, ways, conventions, wastes and savings, graces and disgraces, hearts one docs not know. If people see one good film in ten bad, they are coming nearer to possession of the world. We are only just beginning. Only too many producers are on the wrong track, thinking that the medium is connected with the curtain stage in- stead of being something new.” Charlie seems to have the vision, even At tl’le Photcplay HOUSCS ThiS \Veek.

HARLES WAKEFIELD CADMAN possesses none of the attributes of the general conception of a com poser of poetry and music He is not dreamy-eyed. He does not wear his hair long and it never ap- pears unkempt. There is nothing about any part of his attire that seems careless or disheveled. 1le is not tem- peramental. He is not a recluse. Mr. Cardman is a very progressive- appearing American tvpe of man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, athieticall buflt, with keen brown eves, a firm, friendly handclasp and a ready smile, He looks upon composing music as a great privilege, but nothing terribly mysterious. When Jesse L. Lasky telegraphed and asked him to prepare a score for “The Vanishing American,” he promptly replied that he would look at the picture and give his decision. Two minutes after he had viewed Zane Grey's epic of the American Indian he wired Lasky that he would drop all other work and fill the urgent request. For six weeks Cadman forgot all about his new opera, “The Witch of Salem,” forgot all about concerts.and everything else to plunge himself into the task of writing the score. At the end of six weeks it was completed. Among other numbers it included a theme song, “Little White Rose.” which he looks upon as one of the most promising_ballads he has ever written. It symbolizes the love of the Indian hero of the story for the white girl. simul season. lasco g One of those much talked about but rarely seen ‘“allstar” casts is being filmed in “The Reckless Lady.” It in- cludes James Kirkwood, Belle Ben- nett, Louis Moran, Lowell Sherman, Charles Murray and Marcia Harris. “The Reckless Lady’ is described as a society melodrama and has its basis in Monte Carlo.
