102 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE productions 14 The Devil, Law," "The House of a Thousand Candles," and other popular plays. The call of the movies then came to Mr. King from the lips of a noted producer, Wilbert Melville, manager of the Lubin Western studios, who, during a trip to Gotham, was attracted by the young man 's stage work and offered him a handsome salary to go to Los Angeles and play leading roles at the Lubin studios. After many months of work for Lubin, he resigned his position there, and more than a year ago began his present services as leading m a n of the Balboa forces. His director is Bertram Bracken, a veteran producer, who for many years was director for Gaston Melies and other pioneer impresarios of the silent drama. One of the most reassuring things about Mr. King's work during the last year is that it has broadened ; he has grown more manfully robust, and — sh-s-s-s-s-h ! breathe it softly — he has steadily become more handsome. There is all the dash of youth with him, but the restraining hand of experience, too. Youth apparently is to be his portion for many years to come, and the next generation of matinee girls at the photoplay doubtless will cut his picture out of the magazine and put it in a frame on the dresser, as many of the younger set do today.
