“THE HIRED MAN*^
VIVID FIRE SCENE IN "THE HIRED MAN," AT THE THEATRE
Seldom in the history of motion picture photography has so startlingly vivid a reproduction of a fire scene occurred as in "The Hired Man," which is Charles Ray's latest Paramount picture, produced ' under the supervision of Thomas H, Ince and directed by Victor L. Schertzinger. No pains were spared and an entire house was burned to the ground, leaving nothing but the remains of a chimney. Charles Ray, as a farm hand, performs deeds of real heroism, having been actually quite severely burned during the filming of these scenes. The rest of the cast, including Doris Lee, Gilbert Gordon, Charles French and Lydia Knott, have contributed their full share to the enjoyment of the production, which is one of the most appealingly "human" of the recent pictures.
Julien Josephson, author of Charles Ray's latest Paramount
picture, "The Hired Man," which is to be shown to-morrow at the
theatre, is a young writer from the State of Washington whose short stories have appeared frequently in the magazines of late. Mr. Josephson was formerly a business man, but has now permanently deserted that life in order to devote his entire attention to the writing of short stories and scenarios. He is now a member of the Thomas H. Ince scenario staff, and gives promise of becoming as well known in that line as he has been in short-story writing.
CHARLES RAY BREAKS UP COUNTY FAIR
In Charles Ray's latest Paramount picture, "The Hired Man," now
showing at the theatre, there are seen the grounds and side shows
at a real county fair. These scenes were filmed at the California fair which was held near Los Angeles, and shows the farm exhibits, the races, and many of the standard fair attractions, including even a balloon ascension. It was noticeable, however, that even the latter failed to attract the crowds until Mr. Ray and his company moved into its vicinity, so great was the fascination of watching a "regular" photoplay in the ‘ making. The cast which supports Mr. Ray is exceptionally good, includ! ing Charles French, Doris Lee, Gilbert Gordon, Lydia Knott and Carl I Ullman.
