The Young Picturegoer Thoughts of a Picturegoer. I ^\ XjKIf DEAR GIRLS AND BOYS— What fascinating little actresses are Marion and Madeline Fairbanks, the thirteen-year-old Thanhouser Twins! Of course, you have seen them ? Their expressive, dark eyes and oval faces, framed in soft. dark, curling hair, are familiar to millions of picturegoers. During their long stay with the Thanbouser people the twins have appeared together and singly in a very great number of picture-plays. They worked so hard during the first half of this year that they have been enjoying a long summer vacation in the mountains. But what I set out to tell you is this. A four-reel drama has been produced especially for these youthful stars, and it is called The Flying Twins. The picture on this page is taken from a scene in the film, and shows the pair as trapeze artistes. In the film they are the two daughters of wealthy parents who run away with a circus company. Now if you like circus scenes (and who does not?), with their clowns, horses, and wonderful acts in the sawdust-ring ; if. too. you like farm-life, with its chickens, ducks, and cattle, and if" above all. yon are fond of the twins (and who is not r) you will quickly fall in love with this very exciting drama. But the picture is not to be released yet for some weeks. # * * • Who would be a producer? The poor man's worries must be inexhaustible. No matter what the film on which he is engaged calls for — it may be a burning mountain, or a typhoon, or an earthquake, or even a white elephant if the scene requires it the producer must go out and fiini it. and great must be his worry until he has done so. In Los Angeles recently a Reliance-Majestic film called The Fox Woman required a Japanese baby. A search was begun, but all the Japanese mothers in the district refused, the superstition, amongst them being thai if a baby is photographed it will surely come to dreadful harm. At hist, however, the searchers' patience was rewarded. In a small fishing village some miles out a Jap father and mother were persuaded to lend their infant to the studio in exchange for a large sum of money. "Be very, very careful with it '." pleaded the mother, and Miss Teddy Sampson, who plays the Japanese wife in the drama, went to great pains to assure the real mother that she would take care of the baby all the time it stayed in the studio. And so it came about that for three days Miss Sampson was tied to her little charge. She washed and dressed and fed the baby, saw to his daily nap. and watched over it with a
