Who's Who on the Screen J. PARKER READ, Jr. J. Parker Read, Jr., was inspired to enter the silent drama by a visit he paid to the Fourteenth Street Theatre, New Yorli, some years ago. Surprised at the inco- herent plots of the one-reelers on view in those days, Mr. Read wrote a scenario which was immediately accepted by the Edison Company. A short time ago Mr. Read got his big opportunity and entered the independent producing field with Louise Glaum as his star. Today J. Parker Read, Jr., is a member of Associated Producers and it is his intention to make hip contribution to the silent drama in the form of twelve huge productions a year, included in which will be two all-star specials of unusual dramatic purport. 372
