Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 119 Plays and Players (Continued) has been in the aviation training school of the French army since last May. He has passed full tests in the first class, which is known as the Bleriot, and has recently completed his training in the second or Caudron class. He is now in the last class, known as the Nieuport. The names of these classes are the names of the airplanes used respectively for the training. Mr. Drew's aim is to qualify as a pilot. NO more serials for Doris Kenyon. The lady of nine or ninety lives in "The Hidden Hand" will abandon the breakfast-food type of productions at the beginning of 1918 to appear in "Doris Kenyon Features." And after a look or two one admits that the Kenyon features are handsome. A company has been formed for the exploitation of this young woman; with the usual originality of nomenclature of picture corporation organizers it is called "De Luxe Pictures, Inc." HARRY McCOY remembered enough about piano playing throughout five years of pie hurling at Keystone to get a job in vaudeville and he's now touring on the three-a-day as "The Keystone Boy." He also sings. HAROLD LOCK WOOD has a new leading woman — Sally Crute. She is to support him in his new Metro play, 'The Avenging Trail." Miss Crute has been appearing before the camera for the last six years and previously had extensive stage experience. She has been successively with Essanay, Solax, Edison, Lubin and Metro. She was featured by Edison and Lubin in a number of productions, and her latest engagements have been with Metro, in "Blue Jeans," and "A Wife by Proxy." Another recent appearance was with Sidney Olcott's production of "The Belgian." TRIANGLE has won the suit brought against it by J. Hartley Manners, husband of Laurette Taylor, to prevent it from using the title "Happiness" for a production in which Enid Bennett was starred. The court intimated that Mr. Manners had exhibited considerable nerve in claiming a right to the use of this title merely because he had widely announced his intention of writing a play under that name. HOWELL HANSEL, one of the Famous Players' staff of directors, died of pneumonia at his New York home, November 5. He had been ill for nearly six months, as a result of exposure while obtaining snow scenes in the Adirondacks for "The Long Trail," in which Lou Tellegen and Mary Fuller were starred. Mr. Hansel was a member of several Frohman companies previous to engaging in the picture business in 1912, when he became a director for Thanhouser. He directed "The Million Dollar Mystery," the greatest of all serial money-makers, and produced "The Deemster" for Arrow, and several features for Fox.
