"The Digest of the Motion Picture Industry"

THE ERSTWHILE USHER
Several years ago, when the motion picture industry was in swaddling clothes, John Francis Dillon, the well-known director, was an usher in the old American theatre on Broadway, New York, and Elliott Dexter, prominent screen leading man, was a member of that theatre's stock company.
Naturally there was quite a bit of reminiscing when these two met recently at the United Studios, Hollywood, on the stage where "Flaming Youth" is being produced for First National, with Dillon directing and Dexter playing one of the principal parts.
"The Spirit of the Road," a story by Kate Jordan, has been purchased by Metro as a starring vehicle for Viola Dana. It will serve as her next production, but will be known as "In Search of a Thrill" on the screen.
Charles West, who has been engaged as a gangster in Metro's all-star production of "Held to Answer," will be recalled as a popular leading man of D. W. Griffith's famous Triangle Fine Arts company.
Gypsy Hart, who is portraying an historical role in Rex Ingram's Metro picturization of "Scaramouche," made her motion picture debut several years ago in "The Reward of the Faithless," one of the first pictures ever directed by Rex Ingram.
Among the many interesting paintings in Rex Ingram's splendid art collection is one called "The Lady and the Swan," which was painted by Slavko Vorkapitch, a young Servian artist whom Rex Ingram induced to portray the role of the young Napoleon in his Metro production of "Scaramouche."
Mr. Gerard is the only villain in "The Social Code." Others who appear in this picture include Malcom McGregor, Edna Flugrath, John Sainpolis, William Humphrey and Huntly Gordon.
