AMUSEMENTS.’ FLASHES FROM THE THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, JULY 31, 1927—PART 3 SCREEN BY C. E. NELSO! BOUT ecight years ago som: one in the picture industry out on the West Coast con ceived the brilliant idea o developing writers for the screen Young men and women were trained in screen technique, with the idea | lengthy and women the public.

The young writers were al- lowed to go, and a great many of them have entered other forms m’i work. The producers were in_a great rush: they were, they consid- cred, faced with a grave competi- tion; they had no time to train voung men and women in the writ- ing game. It would be better, they thought, to employ well known writ- ers of fiction, men who were well grounded in their particular craft, rather than spend long hours and many dollars in training of spe- cial writers for the screen. Then ame a great scramble for the serv- ices of the fiction writers. They were sent contracts and signed by the dozens. Up to the present time the writers of fiction have failed. As a rule, they know nothing of the requirements of the photoplay—nothing of the| screen technique and how a good bit of fiction must be handled before it is presented to the public. The pro- ducers, at about the same time they employed the writers, made a great stampede for popular novels, with the idea that they could all be turned into popular photopla; This was another mistake, for about a quar- ter of the novel supply was turned into the very worst of pictures. And now the producers are back where they started. The Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer staff of expert writers has Deen cut nearly in half during the past few wecks. Many of the writers allowed to go are well known in the fiction field, but they failed to make the grade with the producing companies. The original idea of writers for the special work again be taken up, for it is receiving serious consideration. The novel supply has about run out—especially where the classics are concerned— and the producers are being forced to search for original stories. The new writers should be encouraged and trained; they should not be overpaid. and the industry, in the future, will have something to look forward to. The need for good material is the training ma; crying need of the pictures today, ! for good photoplays cannot be made from poor stories—as has been dis- covered from box office receipts. ow Ew IT is said that Ramon Novarro has been forced to master many of the card tric i cians_in order to play used by stage magi the role of Don Juan Reigo in the Joseph Con- rad story “Romance.” John S. Rob- ertson will direct the story for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. O MIL JANNINGS, star of “The Way of All Flesh,” which is now being screened in New York, was, contrary to general opinion, born in the United States. He first saw the light of day in Brooklyn, but after he was a year old his family moved to Switzerland. Ten years later an- other move was made to Gerlitz, Germany, from which place the Jan- nings family originally came to America. Young Jannings thought he would like the life of a sailor, so he ran off to Hamburg, where he took a job as cabin boy on a small freighter. Then he deserted the vessel in England and was later sent back to Germany by a friend of his father. schooling continued, with the jdea that he would some day enter an engineering college. The boy, how- ever, was fascinated by the theater 2nd its people. He offered his serv- jces to the manager of a traveling stock company, and at the age of 16 he became an actor. The band of Thespians formed a club and went under a name which, translated, means “Dabblers in Art,” and the boy Jannings received a wage of less than $1 a week—during weeks when the traveling troupe was fortunate enough to have a good bus- jness. Then the lad joined the stock company of the Gardelegen Theater, in the town of that name, and from | juvenile parts went to others of more | jmportance. At this time he met Ernst Lubitsch, now a Paramount director, and Lothar Mendes, now the husband of Dorothy Mackail, screen star. The young actor next changed to a stock company Bremen, and from there went to Mainz. From that tin he was listed among the Jeading stock com- pany actors of his country, and his next step was to the Darmstadt Royal Theater, iich was under the direction of Grand Duke of Hessen. In 1906 Ma producer, co! the proper Re; inced Jannings that ng 1o do was to join Reinhardt’'s Deutsche Theater, in Berlin. Then, for cight vears,«the actor was a stage idol of the German capital During the heing American-born, Jannings established his neutral and the German gov- ernment ordered the open as usual the movies t friend Lubitsch in' which he pl. was “When Fo swall effort, important Du Barry Negri.

Donors of the prize were not divulged, but it is said that one of the persons giving a part of the prize is connected with a large mo- tion picture production company. The winning scenario will be filmed in this country within a short time. * % OLLYWOOD went wild when Jack Dempsey recently defeated Jack Sharkey in New York.

Thomas Meighan, Ward Crane and Tom Mix, well known to photoplay fans, made the trip to New York to see the big battle. Estelle Taylor, wife of the winning fighter, remained at her Hollywood home and heard the fight by rounds over her radio. | | | { | | Fhak HE death in New York last week of June Mathis removes one of the leading figures in the scenario world. Her work has been of an outstanding character, for she was one of the few who really made a study of the photoplay and its needs. When she prepared a scenario for | the screen, it was just about as near | perfect as it could be made before- hand; she knew the screen tech- nique and just what the camera could and could not do. Miss Mathis, who was about 35 years old, was the highest paid scenario writer in_the United States. She is credited with the “discovery” of Rudolph Valentino's screen pos- sibilities, and his first photoplay hit was from her pen, as she adapted “The Four Horsemen.” Other big stories which she arranged for the screen were “The Rajah.” “The Ten Commandments.” “Blood and Sand,” “Turn to the Right” and “Camille.” She was the wife of Silvanio Balboni, a camcraman of the Hollywood colony. * ok % ¥ LAIRE McDOWELL, long a favorite with screen audiences, has been added to the cast of “Beau- tiful But Dumb,” which stars Vera Reynolds. .

F!FTEEN men who were associated with Jesse James and Frank James as soldiers during the civil War and for a number of years after its close are now living in various parts of the United States. One of them is an inmate of a soldiers’ home, several are wealthy retired cattlemen, and others are substantial citizens of their respective communities. Jesse E. James, son of the famous outlaw, is now a practicing attorney in Los Angeles. A few of these men are very feeble from age. Others are taking a vig- orous interest in the progress of the “Jesse James” picture, as they are anxious to have Jesse James present ed in his true light as ‘a modern Robin Hood,” who had thousands of friends in a dozen or more States. Jesse was declared an outlaw during Civil War time, it appears, and was never allowed to return to his home in peace. He had a habit of "“holding up” people and things. _Frank, after Jesse had been shot to death, surren- dered in person to the Governor of Missourl, and in later life was invited to the White House by President Roosevelt. ..
