THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO OCTOBER 17, 1926—PART 8. BY C. E. F ONE is to consider, seriously, the thoughts and words of Will H. Hays, president of the Mo- tion Picture Producers and Dis- tributors of Americg, the photoplay He the is to have a glorious future. states that all the nations of world are now with, of course, the United States leading the procession. But it is pos- sible to quote Mr. Hays directly: “The motion picture challenges the best in science and art, in literature and in business, in religion and in humanities. It is drawing from every corner of the world the greatest artists and artisans to aid in its serv- ice to the world. Hollywood is an international enterprise. In another iew years the city may very well be the art center of the world. 'And as the picture is the uni- versal language, so will it be written for the universe.” There you have it—Hollywood as | the art center of the world! Queer and strange things have happened— and maybe Will Hays knows what he is talking about * Xk k% According to reports, “The Big Parade” is coming back to Washing. ton this Winter. Not for production, mind you, at the 35 and 59 cent rate, but again at top-notch movie prices. This will be another experiment worth watching, for re is a ques- tion as to whether can play the return engagement same sort of box-office rec e reg- ular stage attractions returned time and again at the same prices, but their runs have been shorte The circumstances are not at all similar, * X ox There is a general opinion that one of the “two-dollar pictures’— the big feature attractions of Movie- land—is just about the easiest thing a theater manager has to handle. According to this opinion, the mdvie comes in a tin can, it is arranged in the projection machine, and all that follows is the grinding. “Ben-Hu which is completing its run in the Capital during the cc ing week, carries 19 persons along | with the film, aside from the or- chestra. The production equipment quires a 60-foot baggage car, and in this manner it is taken from town to town. Two prints of each picture are carried by the company In arranging for special mu the road shows 20 capable musical directors are trained to direct the special scores. Then comes the labor of selecting the individual musicians | -several hundred of them—and the must always be men who have had theater travel experience. In most instances 20 road shows are sent out with a film such as “The Covered Wagon,” “Ben-Hur” or “The Big Parade.” Rl Adolphe Menjou, the sophisticated villain_of the screen, says he intends to retire in three years. The state- ment was made when recently attended the opening of his new pic- ture, “The Ace of Cads,” in Boston. Menjou's salary is reported to be S5.000 a week—and he may miss it when retired in the hills around Hollywood. * X X x The Associated Motion Picture Advertisers, Inc, met in New York a few days ago, and, by ballot, se- lected the 12 women who had done most for the American_photopla and the “immortals” are Mary Pic ford, Norma Talmadge, June Mathis, Gloria Swanson, Colleen "Moore, Con- stance Talmadge, Beulah Living- stone, Jeanie McPherson, Lillian Gish,” Corinne _Griffith, Anita Loos and Frances Marion. The women voted on were stars, featured play- woman producers, press agents and motion picture critics. A The late Rudolph Valentino did not own enough blooded horses and pedigreed dogs to supply the demand in Hollywood. Since the star's death the executor of his estate has been having his troubles. the motion picture colony have been trying to purchase Valentino's horses and dogs. The favorite dog, Kaber, has been taken back to Italy by Valentino’s brother, and the five blooded horses have been purchased by film luminaries. _Valentino's. estate at the time of his death was much below a million dollars, but it has grown to $3.000,000 through the success of showing his pictures, In the Loc - E know this orchestra leader is good; we don't need to be told 1t is an expression heard frequently in the different movie houses. The remark is caused by the orchestra being held up and then the spotlight is thrown on the right or left of the stage, and out comes the leader, who makes his way to his position while more or less applause s offered by e audience. It is difficult to locate the orfzinator of the {dea and it may be & good business proposition with the ordinary movie fan, but to others it s irritating. As one customer put it: “He gets big money for directing and why he should receive additional advertising is a mystery to me. 1 know he is good, but why tell me every time I go to a movie? The show business is strange, and this is @ part of it. But the writer knows one leader who disltkes the spotlight. The increasing demand for vaude. ville turns made on the ranks of the | \ariety performers, caused by the added attractions to the different 1movie houses throughout the country, 1s not causing any worry among the big houses that depen: upon “vod- ville one. In thrashing out the situation with Manager Rollin Rob- hins of Keith's, the latter said: “The really first-class performers st be taken into consideration. Two sppearances a day is ample for them, as the majority are not money grab- ters, and they like to have some time themselves. In the movie houses, you know, they are asked to go on thfee and four times, which keeps them within close call throughout the aftarncon and evening. “a'he Keith-Albee heads are slowly but surely working out plans to keep them supplied with all the talent they will need, and to this end short sketches, something similar to those introduced by Rosina Vokes some vears back, are being whipped into shape—and let me tell you that a good sketch running about 25 minutes has always been a great attraction to our patrons.

NELSON. Lya de Putti and Lois Moran have the star parts in “God Gave Me Twenty Cents,” now in the process of filming. The odd title of the pic- ture has set the fans and exhibitors wondering just what it is, and why it is. . * % % x Here is some wonderful news for the movie fans: Charlie Chaplin saved his famous derby hat when his studio_in Hollywood burned re- cently. The star, returning to his dressing room while working on a TJhe - Pfl circus picture, found the blaze—but | he saved the sugar-bowl hat and | bamboo cane. 9o e Some time ago the motion picture producers on the West Coast met, | talked things over and decided to establish a central casting office, where all film extras would be hired, | fired and paid for their work. The | scheme worked out very well—at {least as far as the pro ucers were concerned. The extra people, however, do not seem to care for the plan. They are forming an organization of their {own, and they want, among other | things, a higher scale of wages. The ordinary extra who appears in mob scenes now receives $5 a day when he or she works, and for a great many that is not often. The esti- {mate has been made that there are | between 40,000 and 50,000 extras in | Hollywood and Los Angeles, and not | many of them work more than 10 or |15 days a year. The extras who ap- | pear in close-ups and minor parts are | paid from $7.50 to $15 per day, and | there is more work for them than for It is the $5 workers who !are clamoring for an increase. 1 * %k x ¥ Thirty-six separate and di | sets have been constructed for Erich von Stroheim’s newest picture, “The | Wedding March,” and all of them are | Viennese and Tyrolean exteriors and | interiors. The photoplay is expected | to be the biggest thing von Stroheim | has attempted since his connection | with the producers. i * ¥ ok % Much has appeared in the public | prints concerning the alleged Soviet- | made photoplay “Potemkin.” One | of the local exhibitors, Mr. Machat { of the Wardman Park Theater, went {to New York last week with the idea lof obtaining the picture for Wash- ington production—and his experi- ence is worth relating. The photoplay, which tells the | story of a Russian revolution, was, BARTHELMESS =~ Tivoh | according to Mr. Machat, produced | |and is controlled by the Incorporated | Amalgamated Soviet Industrics, and | it was brought to the United Sm:s] [for the sole purpose of impressing | | the banking interests of this coun-{ Then, of course, after the| |try. | process of impression, was the plan | of securing liberal loans for the in- | dustries of Soviet Russia. The pic- ! ture has heen given private exhibi- | tions in New York, bankers being the invited guests. But, in most in | stances, the bankers failed to attend | Their tickets were handed out to others, and the real purpose of the | film has been lost in the shuffle. ! As_far as the picture itself goes, Mr. Machat says it is not much out of the ordinary. The large groups {of actors—usually termed “mob | scenes”—are weH handled, but there | {is nothing to startle the average American audience. Also, according | to Mr. Machat, the picture is not be- | ling rented for exhibition—at least, | until the banker-loan idea is aban- | doned. | O i b | | _"Notes from Movieland—Harold | | Lloyd is said to have the largest col- | |lection of pedigreed dogs on the { Pacific Coast.

Harry Jar- boe of the Mutual recalled that Miss Carus made her debut in the bur- |lesque ranks, often appearing at old Kernan's. She was a beauty in those | days and had a remarkably deep con- | tralto that later carried her to§star- jdom. She was one of those sturdy girls who could take carq of herself |in any company, and woe to the | fresh Johnnie! Emma never turned down an invitation to a good dinner, | but she was thrifty and held on to | her money throughout her career | _ *“As an assurance of this fact,” said { Mr. Jarboe, “when a'guardian was recently appointed for her down in Los Angeles by the Supreme Court it | was made public that Emma had an | estate af close to a hundred thousand | dollars. ~ There is a lump sum of | $51,000 in cash, $55,000 in jewelry and silverware, furniture worth $15,000 and furs, $5,000. Emma is now 55 | vears old. ~After she left burlesque she starred in many plays and was always a headliner in vaudeville. Miss Carus hadgno relatives in this | country, but in ‘Germany there are | members of her family. She is one | of many women who battled with the world successfully, and I was cey tainly sorry to hear of her collapse.” If present plans go through, this will be the final season for Poli's, as it will be demolished next Summer to make room for the new Depart- ment of Commerce Building.

The new officers installed by the Rev. James Murphy, supervisor of the players, included Alfred A.

Soctal and busl- ness committees were appointed and plans for an active season were for- mulated. The first production will be “The Boomerang,” a three-act farce by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes, to be presented three evenings, Novem- ber 22, 23 and 24, at the parish hall.

A CHANCE luncheon with Sir Ed- ‘ward Moss of the London Hippo- drome_brought to Albert De Cour- ville, London’s foremost producer of the revue type of entertainment, the first opportunity of his career to be- come famous. And it is said that Sir Thomas Lipton, who also was a guest at the luncheon, can vouch for the fact. De Courville, at that time, was a rather modest producer of entértain- ment. He had not set the world afire with his achievements, but he had established a fairly good reputation in his line. Also the London Hippodrome was not making the hit with the pop- ulace that ranked it with the glitter- ing successes of the Indeed, at the luncheon, Sir Edward Moss re- marked that unless he found an at traction soon he was afrald he would be forced to close up, as the Hipp drome was losing more money weekly than he was able to spare. At this point Sir Thomas Lipton got into the conversation with a sug- gestion that probably De Courville might be able to help out in the diffi culty. Sir Edward at once fell for the suggestion and asked the young producer if he thought he could evolve something from his bag of tricks, which would keep the Hippodrome afloat. De Courville jumped at the chance with eagerness and with youth- ful confidence assured Sir Edward of his belief that he could put the “Hip” on its feet and keep it there. Accordingly, Sir Edward commis- sloned the optimistic De Courville to go ahead and assemble his first re vue. Within two days De Courville ‘was off for Paris in search of material and two weeks later he had worked so rapidly and so effectively that the first De Courville Hippodrome revue was ready for presentation. It was : glowing success and ran for nearly two years, putting the Hippodrorte back in the class of theatrical suc- cesses. denly. He never knew what the chance suggestion of Sir Thomas Lip ton brought about. But the fame of young De Courville was established with the rehabilitation of the Hippo- drome and it has continued ever ris. ing higher until the present time. A De Courville production called 2 a charming melange of girls, dancing and music, will make its apeparance in Washington this week as one of the Loew presentations, opening today.

Exercise, the invariable prescrip- tion of health-givers, she thinks fs good—if you enjoy it. If you don't, let it alone. “Have you never known,” she asks, of women who literally spend hours upon hours a day exercising to reduce, only to discover that they grow fatter and fatter? ‘“Unless you can really derive pleasure from the exercise,” she say: “you are beagen before you start. And, despite the decree of the danc- ing masters and those who think as they do, Norma likes the Charleston and recommends it as an excellent means of reducing your weight. It is such fun that you get the exer- cise—and it is good exercise—without realizing that you are doing it for a purpose. “The things you have to force your- self to do,” she says, “are never bene- ficlal.

COLUMBIA—"“Sparrows."” Mary Pickford, “America’s sweet- heart,” is announced in one of her most lovable photoplay stories, “Spar- rows,” a United Artists production, at Loew's Columbia this week, start- ing this afternoon. “Sparrows” is based on a story specially written for Miss Pickford by Winifred Dunn, and scenarized by C. Gardner Sullivan, and directed by Willam Beaudine, who directed “Little Annie Rooney.” The cast in- cludes Gustav von Seyffertitz, Roy Stewart and Speck O'Donnell, includ- ing nine child actors. “Sparrows” takes its title from the biblical reference to the fall of a sparrow, and reveals Miss Pickford in the role of Mama Mollie, whose watchful care and love for the nine little prisoners on a baby farm on the edge of a dank nad remote swamp in the Southland not only keeps hope alive in their little breasts, but who is the means of their escape through heartbreaking hardships from the man and his wife who run the place, a climax of the breathless type. There is a wisp of romance and more than a little of the sunshine of com- edy woven through the story as re- lief. 3 b Supplementary attractions will in- clude a shortlength comedy, the Pathe news reel, Aesop’s Fables and a musical score and overture by the Columbia Orchestra, under Leon Bru- silof.

Byron Morgan, who turned out most of the late Wallace Reid's famous racing stories, has written a well bal- anced story for the picture, which centers around the spectacular playing of a college boy, and shows “Red” at his best. on the foot ball field. Genu- ine college spirit is injected into the production, which is made doubly real- istic by the fact that one of the players on the opposing team is George Wil- son, the famous All-American halfback.
