N. Williamson's “The Woman Who Dared.” The picture rights in this story were recently purchased by the California concern from Mrs. Williamson, and Captain Leslie T. Peacocke has written an elaborate scenario from it. The part of Juliette De Nevers offers a new type of role to Beatriz Michelena. Reports from the Pacific Coast have it that the California corporation producers will shortly be ready to begin work on the first scenes of Mrs. Williamson’s story. It will be the third of its new series of photoplays of which “Salvation Nell” was the first and “The Unwritten Law” is to be released as the second. “DEVIL’S PEPPER POT” FURNISHED MANY PUNGENT MOMENTS FOR BILLIE BURKE Special to Motion Picture News Los Angeles, Oct. 18. THE filming of “The Devil’s Pepper Pot,” the Ince-TriangleBillie-Burke subject, was finished during the past week, and the actress departed for New York to fulfill a legitimate Stage engagement. It will take a number of weeks to cut and properly assemble this subject. There are a number of novelties in this Scottish comedy drama wherein Miss Burke had the time of her sweet young life. She learned how to dodge mud balls and stale fruit, caused every extra player to crane his neck, and brought discontent when she insisted her scenes should be enclosed. Her last stunt required by the script was for the actress to be ducked in a pool of water as punishment inflicted by the sedate Scots for her bold escapade attempted in boys’ clothing. The tempermental storm is now over, and Inceville is again in peace and quietude. “LILY AND THE ROSE,’ TRIANGLE, PRIVATE SHOWING IN LOS ANGELES SUCCESSFUL Special to Motion Picture News Los Angeles, Oct. 18. THE coming Fine Art Triangle subject, “The Lily and the Rose,” featuring Lillian Gish, Rozsika Dolly, and Wilfred Lucas, was given a private showing Sunday evening following the regular program at Clune’s Broadway theatre. This showing was attended by a very large number of photoplayers and the applause was frequent. A number of the players who appeared in this subject were present and were given ovations when introduced on the screen. Since this showing. Director Paul Powell, who was in charge of the showing, has been receiving very glowing compliments from the many who admired the subject. Mr. Powell had added a number of innovations that are decidedly pleasing, and withal it is a very remarkable true to life subject. The settings are most elaborate. LIONEL BELMORE, NOT BARRYMORE, WITH PREMO FILM CORPORATION THROUGH an error in transmission the name of Lionel Barrymore was mentioned in last week’s News in connection with the Premo feature “The Antique Dealer,” in which Cyril Maude stars. This should have read instead Lionel Belmore, the one-time stage director for Sir Henry Irving and William Faversham. Mr. Belmore is one of the cast under the direction of Harley Knoles, but he himself is favorably known as the director for the Vitagraph’s “The Ruling Power.” ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN BRINGS FLOOD OF GOOD SCRIPTS TO GEORGE KLEINE THE scenario department of George Kleine reports a superabundance of splendid stories as the result of its recent advertising campaign for comedy and dramatic subjects. As plenty of material is now in hand to date, scenario writers are asked to send no more manuscript for the present. <3 i Table of contents will hereafter be found every week opposite inside back cover.
