HEN the soldiers marched out of the house the ground was |covered with snow,” sald Theodore Roberts. “But the battle was fought on a sunlit fleld carpeted with flowers. | That picture in 1914 remains dis- [ tinet in my memory. It was not a Paramount production. But it brings me to the subject of how important a part the weather played in the mak- ing of screen plays yvears ago. They shot the scenes on different days and the weather played them false. The army was composed of 50 soldlers and four cannons. To make the array im- posing the soldiers would reach the end of the camera line and then rush back to start all over again.” ‘The Grand Old Man of the Movies gently tapped the ashes from the tip of his ever-present cigar and con- tinued his reminiscence. “The old Lask studio—a single frame building still standing at the {corner of Vine and Selma—had a { hundred foot stage with no roof. This was to admit sunlight. When it rained there was no filming. Each morning at breakfast my wife and I would hold a discussion about the ther. She was working extra for A day.” tting on the sun porch of his spa- ious home on the hill that crowns North Vine street, “Daddy” Roberts discoursed on the most interesting chapter in the stages of the screen brought to mind by the twelfth anni- versary of the founding of the Lasky studio in Hollywood. The Metropoli- {tan Theater in Los Angeles recently | staged a brilliant celebration of the nniversary and pald honor to Jesse 1. Lasky for his monumental efforts in behalf of the film art. Theodore Roberts was there. In fact, it was he who introduced the honor guest as the climax to series of introductions of E 1 amount players, Hollywood Th en--and NOW. the prisoner instead of taking the prisoner to the judge. It was easler in completing the plcture. And when a soldler had a message for the gen- eral the scene was outdoors and showed the general golng to the sol-| dier for the purpose of the pla Otherwise it would have been neces- | sary to build an interior set. Iven 80, the sets then were meager, skimpy things, a corner or a wall. “I recall one plcture in which it was necessary to show Congress in sesslon. The set cost $5,000 and be- fore this terrific expenditure was made there was much argument and dis. cussion. Today a set that costs $100, 000 is no novelty. “I was making $100 a week then My wife, Florence Smythe, whom I recently lost after many years of real| happiness together, had been a tress on the legitimate sta, working extra.

Some attempt had been made in the direc- tion of real dramatic work, but proved abortive. Mr. Lasky brought out the| first semblance of art in the mew i dustry. Five reelers were being made and the shooting period w bout | six weeks.
