The nights are getting longer; the days are gradually.cut- ting down in like proportion{ the sun slants farther to the southward; the countryside takes on the dull tints of Autumn, and only a few more moons wil: pass before “Laugh Month” comes fomping in. It is scheduled for January, 1927. 4 Hilarious days confront us—during the merry month of January. Deep chuckles, happy hee-haws, side-splitting roars and the beaming coun- tenance. All these are expected, according to the promoters of “Laugh Month.” to turn the 30 days over to a Nationwide gayety. Under the usual circumstances January is a rather difficult month in which to draw his condition is brought about by numerous little haman af- For_instance, The aver- a laugh fairs that tend more toward a “National Grouch Month.” January usually fol'cws a more or less trying holiday season. age paterfamilias can't sce anyt even make him consider a silly grin. And father’s gloomy outlook upon life in general has a p-etty bad effect upon the remainder of the family. The first trouble with the furnace comes around about New Year da; arriving simultaneous!y with grim bi'l collectors. Then, there is the spe ter of the car freezing up for the first time of the Winter; a water pipe in the cellar bursts: the youngest member of the family has her whooping cough premier, and the battery of the radio runs down. It would scem that the only solitary miserable thing that does not happen during the month of January is the first installment of the income tax. ¥ But the American proplie have passed through “Safety Week.” “Eat a Raisin Week,” ean Your Backyard Week,” “Don’t Light the Kitchen Stove With Kerosene Week.” and now they are to have a whole month of laughs in the drear, stil! days of January. Each and every person, age not considered, will be expected to do his or her part. Over hil and dale, through the highways and bordering the byways, come the pladsome peals—for it will be a merry, merry month when January. 1927, rolls around. The whole scheme originates with some of the movie producers. The “Laugh Month” committee is already at work. and, according to their published statement, “We have already a sufficient number of pledges of financial support to warrant the belief that the movement will be widely observed. Our plan, which starts the Ist of October, includes an intensive and systematic campaign for ‘Laugh Month.'” * %k k NENT the proposed archives building for the preservation of motion pictures, Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, writes as follows: - “I appreciate the constructive thought regarding the opportunities and responsibilities of the motion picture which The Star’s editoria! re- garding the film archives will tend to promote both within and without the industry. I have obtained from one of the news reel companies asso- ciated with our organization a list of some of the many interesting his- torical events in pictures. This I inclose as an indication merely of the ossibilities of preserving for future generations in the proposed archives guilding motion pictures of the lives of great men and of memorable events in America and many other countries. Thanking you for your help- ful interest. (Signed) WILL H. HAYS." Then, added to the letter of the former Postmaster General of the United States, is a list of outstanding news reels, a few of them as fol- fows: The inauguration of William McKinley, the only motion picture ever made of Grover Cleveland, the funeral of King Edward, the funeral of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination brought on the World Wa he late Czar at the height of his power, the inauguration of Roose- velt, first successful airplane flight, entrance of America into the World War, outbreak of the war and the German attack on Liege, burial of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and the first session of the League of Nation Hays, during a visit at Paul Smiths this Summer, outlined his plan for the archives to President Coolidge. The idea has been indorsed by Senator Smoot. chairman of the Public Buildings Commission. It is said that the President hear: favors the plan, and that the valuable film records will probably be placed in vaults in the new national hall of records here in Washington. “THE movie in a capsule” is a novel screen experiment to be tried out L4t the Wardman Park Theater, under the direction of the Motion Picture Guild, this week.

According to those closely concerned with the industry a large nufmber of elements are required.” Here are the condensed opinions of afew: . Walter Woods, scenario writer: “It takes courage to make good pictures. That, combined with an unlimited quantity of stamina and enthusiasm in_one’s convictions, will offset much in material deficiencies.” . Florence Vidor, amount star: “Love makes the good pictures—a sincere love for one's work Erich von Stroheim. director A good motion picture story must appeal alike to men. women, children—to the brilliant-minded and the weak-minded. A great motion picture cannot respond to the fixed de- mands of that producer who labors under the delusion that the public has fixed likes and dislikes.” Eddie Cantor, stage and screen star: “A picture is successful only when its story is clearly enough told so that a child can understand and enjoy it, and when it has sufficient depth to please mature taste.” Pola Negri, star: “If a picture is to be considered good, it must make the audience live the roles they see portrayed upon the screen. In other words, it must offer drama such as every human being might experience, 80 realistically plaved that those who view it feel themselves passing through the action” So, you have the opinions of the experts.

Valentino’s sudden death, however, served to concentrate ‘more than ordinary attention on recent pic- tures—"The Eagle” and “The Son of the Sheik”—and in concentrating at- tention on these two bidtures, the public was, perforce, chliged to con- centrate its attentfon on the beautiful Hungarian beauty who played the role of the Russian aristocrat in “The Eagle” and the desert dancer in “The Son of the Sheik."” Throtghout the industry Miss Banky is slangily referred to as “Sam Goldwyn's best bet,” by virtue of the fact that Mr. Goldwyn, on one of his periodic jaunts through middle Eu rope, encountered the beautiful Vilma, saw in her screen calfber of the first class and persuaded her to sign contract for a period generaily be- dreams at the time, was nevertheless a bargain price from the standpoint of Mr. Goldwyn, who has found it more profitable, in this instancee, to lease the beautiful Miss Banky's services to other producers at sums presumably far in excess of Miss Banky's weekly stipend than to run the risks and hazards of producing | starring pictures for her. use. i For the time heing Miss Banky's | prominence on the screen, through | her association with Valentino in that | actor's last two pictures has redowned { more materfally to Mr. Goldwyn's ad- vantage than to Miss Banky's, one is led to believe, though in the end Miss Banky is practically certaln to reap a golden reward of her own in her increased value as a box-office factor, and in her position to dictate | more favorable Mr. contract terms with Goldwyn or some other impre- a{sario when the time rolls around for Iw new contract. The Life of a Movie Star.

ORK on 'The Prince of Tempters,” the Robert T. Kane production whose presentation the picture world is awaliting with interest in view of the fact that it 1s the initial directorial effort of Lother Mendes, distinguished UFA director, has been completed and will shortly be ready for screening. The importation of foreign motion picture directors has become more or less the vogue during the past year. The comparatively few pictures made in any other country but the United States which have been offered the American theatergoing public have all been big and unusual pictures, and in- variably their charm has been the dis- tinction with which they have been directed. It was a natural conclusion on the part of American producers therefore that foreign directors, given American production support and American dramatic ideas that appeal to the much larger photoplay audi- ences found in this country as opposed to any other country, could provide unusually attractive photoplay enter- tainment. Robert T. Kane, producing a series .of specials for First National, was one of the American producers who sub- scribed whole-heartediy to this opin- ion. His agents several months ago signed Lother Mendes, one of the “aces” at the UFA studios in Ber- lin, to an American contract, and on his arrival he was given, as his first assignment, the direction of E. Phil- lips Oppenheim’s nove ‘The Inter- loper,” the title of which has since been changed to “The Prince of Tempters.” L\.;bitach Is Free. | WARNER BROTHERS have dis- posed of the balance of the con- tract they hold on the services' of Director Ernst Lubitsch, negotiations to that effect having been concluded between Warners, Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer and Famous Players, accord- ing to a recent announcement. Lubitsch, who for yvears has been a directorial sensation, has made pic- tures only for that company. He previously won renown as the di- rector of a number of European pro- ductions, among them “Passios which created a sensation when shown in America.

The film be- gins its first showing today at the ‘Wardman Park Theater.
