4 brought ¢ the yea: \ e ———— FLASHES OCAL photoplay houses have prepared and will serve a first-class menu for the holida; scason. Since the carly day of the theater in the National Capi- tal the city has been known as rather backward toward patronizing the theater in the space of a week between Christmas and New Year, but this has not held true with the photoplay houses. The best bills of the yeag, taking them all together, are quite likely to form the attrac- tions of the “palaces” and “cathe- drals” during the six days leading irom Christmas toward the begin- ning of a new year. The Earle is” changing its poli BY C.

Together with these come “The Marriage Circle” and “Very Confidential.” both excellent box office attractions. ** x x THE Hollywood Chamber of Com- merce has sounded another warning about too many movie extras in the city. Only ones are obtaining much work around the studios these days, and production is not running along very smoothly as in days gone by. i ILE she is hardly considered a pionecer of the photoplay art in America, Norma Talmadge, still | .4 vouthful, has seen the passing of a| large number of male stars. latter, in some instances old for screen work; in other in- stances, they followed different branches of screen work. When Norma first entered ,film work she played with John Bunny. The became too the big comedian who died severai vears ago. Bunny's leading woman was Flora Finch, who now and then has a character part. Then, when Norma played Mimi in “The Tale of Two Cities,” Maurice Costello and Ralph Ince were the male stars. In “Mrs. ’Enry ’Awkins,” Costello 2gain had the male lead, with Miss Talmadge playing opposite. Leo De- laney was the leading man, opposite Miss Talmadge, in a series of two- reelers, and then came Antonio Moreno. Elmer Clifton and Bobby Harron were usually Norma's lead- ing men in the old Triangle produc- tions, and Eugene O'Brien had the leading male roles when Schenck began producing the Talmadge films. Previously to this, however, Earle Fox was called upon to support Norma, playing opposite her in| “Panthea” ~ Norma and Eugene O'Brien played together in six con- secutive pictures. In one of these pictures, “De Luxe Annie,” Roland West directed, and he also has charge of Norma’s newest picture, “The Dove.” Thomas Meighan and Conway Tearle then became leading men for Miss Talmadge, and others who came along were Pedro de Cordoba, Rockcliffe Fellows, Jack Halliday and Lowell Sherman. Har- rison Ford was leading man in “The Branding Iron,” and Lew Cody fol- lowed in “The Sign on the Door.” So Miss Talmadge kas seen the arrival and the passing of many male screen stars, and her own popularity has not been dimmed as the years have passed. She has been especially fortunate in the class of vehicles selected for her talent, and it is probable that she will be a star for many years to come.

In the mean- time, it is reported that her Beverly Hills home 1s_said to be for rent, with Norma Shearer and her hus- hand, Irving Thalberg, considering leasing it. Camilla Horn, the German actress who once played opposite Emil Jan- nings. has the leading feminine role | in the “Tempest” picture of John| Barrymore. Work is going forward on the production, and others in the cast are Louis Wolheim, George awcett, Lena Molena and Albert | Conti. Sam Taylor is directing. nny Brice, stage star, will prob- | ably go to the West Coast soon to | appear_in a_ motion picture. The story is to be written by ward | Small, and work will start within |a few weeks. . When Emil Jannings came to America he signed a contract for $4000 a week. During the past week Paramount boosted his weekly stipend to $8,000. “The Way of All Flesh,” made in this country with| Jannings as_the star, has been well received in European cities. Having completed “London After Midnight,” Lon Chaney is to star in “Laugh, Clown, Laugh” a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer picture. Lon recently returned to Hollywood from a long hunting trip. Herbert Brenon will direct the new picture. Marie Dressler has completed her part in “Bringing Up Father,” a Cosmopolitan picture, and she is back in New York. She will return to the West Coast after the holidays. Ernest Torrence plays the father of John Gilbert in “The Cossacks,” which George Hill is directing for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer com- pany. Then he steps into a part in the Ramon Novarro picture, “China Bound,” which is adapted from a Laurence Stallings story. It is announced that a new pro- duction company, the Associated Artists, will film the Tolstoy story, “War and Peac If the work is to be transferred to the screen as it is written, the new company will have a monumental task, for the story covers many years, has thou- sands of characters and is usually published in three large volumes. Three Tolstoy novels were filmed during the last year—“Anna Kare- | nina” (with a screen title of “Love”). | “Resurrection” and “The Cossdcks,” the latter starring John Gilbert. Alberta Vaughn, well known to screen fans for her work in “The Telephone Girl,” will have a promi- nent part in the new William Boyd picture, “Skyscrapers.” —_— important ingredient in her popu- larity is the fact that she has not appeared in too many pictures. * % 5% EVERAL years ago Bryant Wash burn was cast as the star in a * comedy, “Skinner’s Dress Suit,” and now he comes back as Skinner aga He will have the leading role “Skinner’s Big Idea,” written Henry Ir sponsible for the first story. old film was produced by the Fs- sanay eompany, which had a head- quarters in Chicago. »x % HE new William Haines picture has been given the title of “The Smart Set.” It is a story of an in- 1ernational polo contest .
