CHICAGO, ILL. Japanese-American story by Hector Turnbull, in which Fannie Ward and Sessue Hayakawa starred, marks the first invasion of the field of motion pictures by the stage. Done over by Willard Mack, and given the title, "I Owe You," it has just been produced at the Thirty-Ninth Street theatre in New York City, with Mary Nash and Jose Ruben in the parts that Miss Ward and Mr. Hayakawa played. An interesting note is that after the first performance out of town, the Government requested the producers to change the nationality of the leading man — so he quit being a Jap and became an East Indian. MARC McDERMOTT has joined Fox. He will play opposite Virginia Pearson in her new picture, "Buchanan's Wife." McDermott, an old Edison favorite, was with Vitagraph for years. METRO will build and present a church to a small town in Pennsylvania in appreciation of the patriotic co-operation of the mayor and citizens in the filming of the new Metro production, "Wilson or the Kaiser?" The name of the town, which is said to be ideally located, is being kept secret until the last of the seven reels of the picture is completed. rd with Ben m page 61) tard that I went down through the floor." Despite his mishaps, Ben is still in the ng To see Ben at his best you should see im in the intervals between making the ictures. He never turns off the jazz. If he isn't imitating D. W. Griffith or ecil De Mille, he is pretending to be a ittle innocent heroine lost in a shivering now storm on the sidewalks of New York. ne of Ben's favorite diversions is to get own on his hands and knees and imitate eddy, the Mack Sennett dog. The only ne who never laughs is Teddy. Teddy ives him one look of terrible disdain and alks solemnly away. Between pictures, Ben is to be found at iKaty's. Katy runs a little cafe on the corner near the studio. Ben takes a seat at one of Katy's best ables and spends the day there. He quarrels with Katy over the best way to mix batter. He plays horse with Mrs. Terrence O'Grady's children while the mother is in passing the time of day with Katy and maybe borrowing the shade of a slice of butter. When the ice man comes around, Ben gives his imitation of a pig stuck under a fence and the ice man goes out cackling. Ben has a little jest with the postman when he comes around and a merry quip for the edification of the egg man. Somewhere around eleven o'clock the barber from up the street drops in and he and Ben talk War. Ben has a hoarse croaking voice and his terrible sarcasms about the Kaiser would carry to Berlin on a clear day. Players om page 84) After that, every film company in the world is welcome to know just where the town is located. The entire community take part in "Wilson or the Kaiser?" SYDNEY Cohen, manager for Kitty Gordon, received a commission in the cinematograph department of the army. He was to report for duty Saturday morning, October fifth, at the School of Photography, Columbia University. Cohen — accompanied by Fred Ward, former vaudeviiie star and now a motion picture manager — left Los Angeles in good time. When the train stopped at Kansas City, Cohen and Ward interrupted a poker game with themselves to remark that they were hungry, so Cohen, clad only in trousers, short-sleeved outing shirt and slippers, volunteered to get off and commandeer some sandwiches. He miscalculated his distance, however — for when he came running back to board the train, he found that it had left without him. He hired a machine and tried in vain to catch up with it at the next station. In his scanty attire, he was denied admittance to the Chicago train next morning, until finally, convincing a porter of his sanity, he borrowed a coat from him for the rest of the trip. Cohen reached New York all right, but he was one day late in reporting for duty. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
