The producers themselves have co.operated most ably in this task. “Still more has the motion picture been a source of entertainment for and a means of vaising the morale in the military forces of the United States, scattered as they are, many in isolated places, and practically all eut of r:u:h of other visual entertain- stage | They in- | THE SUNDAY.

ITH a view toward elaborating upon ' the preparation of the story for his Pathe comedy pictures, Mack Sennett has instituted what is known as the “'story council” in is studios on the West Coast. The “council” comprises the studio staff writers, and functions under the supervision of General Manager John A. Waldron. Sennett's idea of having all his comedy stories written and developed by the “story couneil” is in.keeping with his belief in the time-worn adage that two heads are better than one, and that when an idea is unanimously accepted by a group of six or eight it is very likely to be thoroughly de- veloped. Mr. Waldron and his associates will ke an idea submitted by one of the ouncil” and analyze it carefully.

Just Like That. ONE of Charleston beauty hamplons, representing nine Ameriean citles, visited the Paramount Long Island studio recently as yart of thetr New York sightseeing tour. The occasion may mark the beginning of a brilliant motion picture career. Her name is Vilma Novak and her fame thus far consists in being New York's foremost Charlestoner. With her eight companions and thelr mothers and escorts. she was In_the studio watching Ford Sterling and Lois Wilson in a scene from “The Show- Off,”" when Mal St. Clair, the directer, whose eye for film heauties fs un- canny, apotted the girl and at ence pro. nounced her an ideal “camera type Arrangements were made for a screen test prior to Miss Novak's de parture for a tour of the country with the Boris Petroff’s “‘Charleston” unit If the tests are satisfactory St. Clalr will give the girl a small part in his next picture, “The Ace of ads.’ Miss Novak fs slim and dark. with raven-black hair and brown eyes. and is said to bear a striking resemblance of Poia Negri. She is 17 years of age, and, like her campanions. Charleston experts from Boston, Atlanta, Detroit, 8t. Louis, Buffalo, Dallas, Kansas City and Chicago, has never before ap- peared professionally on the stage. the Pola’s Next. HREE points at least are said to be assured now that it is deflnite- ly set for Pola Negri to do “Hotel Imperial” as her next drama of screen ardor and amour. One is that Miss Negri will have all the latitude she may desire for the abandon, the wild, thrilling love, and the emotional storm in which she excels. 4 Another is that this production will have amazing camera angles, the sort that have added to the impressiveness of “Varfety” and “Metropolis,” for the supervisor will be Eric Pommer, t! noted German producer, formerly with UFA, who has te his credit ‘‘The Cabi- net of Dr. Caligari” and “The Last Laugh.” Third, with Maurice Stiller engaged to direct, one may look for the thoroughly continental atmosphere, environment and technique that are called for by the tone and locale of the novel by Roman \vw Ludwig Bire. According to B. P. Schulberg, asso- ciate Paramount producer. 18 planned to make ‘‘Hotel Imperial” the most lavish and powerful picture that Miss Negri has had since her advent into the American cinema. The picture will be made at Famous Players-Lasky West Coast studio. R Seldom in his career as a Broadway showman, it is said, has Florenz zl.f- feld been so interested @s he is in supervising his first motion picture, “Glorifying the American Girl,” which will go into production soon at the Paramount Long Island studlo.
