Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1917)

MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE 13 — including a real ship — and Stevenson's sea yarns, dont miss this elaborate production. It is exceedingly amusing. The young folks will be held spellbound, and the old folks will have a hearty laugh. It is handsomely and wonderfully done. Booth. — "Getting Married." A Bernard Shaw play that sparkles with wit and Shaw philosophy, capably played by an unusually strong cast which includes William Faversham, Henrietta Crosman, Charles Cherry and Hilda Spong. Cohan's. — "Come Out of the Kitchen." Ruth Chatterton is always charming, but her opportunities in this Southern play are net as winsome as those in "Daddy Longlegs," even with Bruce McRae to assist her. Lyric. — "A Daughter of the Gods." Fox's "Picture Beautiful" with Annette Kellermann as the star submersible and dancing Venus. A very elaborate spectacle. Liberty. — "Intolerance." David W. Griffith's gigantic film spectacle. ' Dazzling to the eye, but not as great as "The Birth of a Nation." Loew's N. Y. and Loew's American Roof. — Photoplays; first runs. Program changes every week. Rialto. — Photoplays supreme. Program changes every week. (For additional reviews, see the Motion Picture Classic, out Jan. 13.) PATTER FROM THE PACIFIC By MOSGROVE COL WELL Harold Lockwood, May Allison, Fred Balshofer and the other members of the YorkeMetro Company have done considerable traveling during the taking of "Pidgin Island." They were at Monterey for two weeks, and spent some time in San Francisco. Frank Garbutt is a busy man these days. Aside from looking after his several businesses and his millions, he spends much time at both the Morocco and the Famous PlayersLasky studios, and all sorts of things are happening at both places. The Famous Players-Lasky studios now occupy two full blocks; the next block is taken up by Pathe Lehrman and the Christie Comedy Company. Opposite are the L-Ko studios, and the special stages which are put aside for Ford and Miss Cunard. Jim Davis, who until recently directed the Kalem "Hazards of Helen" series, is now manager of the Vogue studios; and J. R. Crone, who was manager before him, has gone to the American, vice P. G. Lynch, whose future plans are not yet known. Herbert Rawlinson is hard at work again at Universal City, after being confined in the hospital for some time with a torn and twisted knee. He has to wear it bandaged up even yet, but was too anxious to get back to his work to lay off any longer. Another star has gone and formed a company all her own. Cleo Madison is the party that Las just accomplished this feat. BWWAWbW^WW WANTED! Send us YOUR IDEAS for Photoplays, Stories, Etc. ! They may bring BIG MONEY !
