STORY OF NEAL HART
(Continued from page 27)
Harry Carey, another of the Universal's widely known Western stars, played the lead in it. It was released by the Bluebird Company. Neal Hart, who had been "running with the ruck" as it were, as a member of the Universal cowboy troupe, played the foreman of the ranch, and as such, the leader of a troupe of cowboys who came to an Eastern city with all of the ingenuous curiosity, caution, impetuosity and simple mindedness of the plainsmen. The comedy which was extracted from this picture, and to which Neal Hart contributed so largely put comedy Westerns on the map, and set a standard at which many companies have been aiming, but so far none has reached. "Love's Lariat" is still pre-eminent in its field, and is one of the most popular films for rebooking that the Bluebird ever issued.
But in addition to setting a standard, "Love's Lariat" did another thing. It brought Neal Hart into such prominence that in less than a year he has become a full-fledged star, and it will not be long before the billboards in Staten Island will be shrieking out "Neal Hart, eminent Western actor, in the five-reel photoplay 'The Bumblebee.' " This pointed title was devised by Harvey Gates
and George Marshall, who wrote the story which Mr. Marshall is directing at the present time.
A leading woman new to the company was engaged especially for this l,!fture — Miss Vivian Rich, who has been verj. prominent for the last few years in Western subjects, and of course he has the Universal cowboys
GtiESlr
with him. Every one at the Universal is rooting hard for Neal's success in this, his first big effort, and the folks back on Staten Island will not be the only ones who will be pleased if "The Bumblebee" makes a bigger reputation than "Love's Lariat."
MULHALL RESCUES BABIES.
AN early scene in "The Midnight Man," the Butterfly Pictui-e starring Jack Mulhall, shows the young star and his leading lady, Ann Kroman, at a swimming pool, where they do some high diving for the camera. Jack is a fine swimmer, and the other day, while making scenes for a forthcoming release, he saved two little girls from the angry breakers, at one of the Los Angeles beach resorts. The children were being used in a photoplay, and their mothers were on hand to take care of them, for neither was four years old. The mother, however, became intensely interested in the camera, and the two babies strayed away and were caught by the suirf which was running high that day. Jack Mulhall was the only one who saw them in distress, and he plunged in and pulled them out before they had time to be much more than seriously frightened. He made nothing of his feat, when congratulated by the crowd, but the mothers thanked him v\ith tears of gratitude.
