Julien Joson adapte I the story for the One-Minute Interviews With Famous Film Folk By MALCOM STUART BOYLAN "Mr. Carewe, we all know that Holbrook Blinn is a splendid stage actor, but how did he do before the camera in "The Bad Man?' Was he the cat's whiskers, the buffalo's beard or the elephant's elbow?" "Holbrook Blinn is a great actor; and don't let 'em tell you different. He is just as great on the screen as he is on the stage where his inimitable accent can be enjoyed. In 'The Bad Man' he gives a performance that will go down in screen history as a wonderful example of suave histrionicism." "That's a tough word, Mr. Carewe, please translate it into Indianapolis." " 'The Bad man,' we all know, is a travesty on an incident in the life of the late Pancho Villa. It gives the famous Mexican outlaw the romantic glamor of Robin Hood. The role was created for Holbrook Blinn and thousands heard him on the stage. To surround him with the best possible support for our screen production, we engaged Miss Enid Bennett, Jack Mulhall, Walter McGrail, Harry Myers, Miss Teddy Samp son, Stanton Heck and Charles Sellon, who appeared in the stage play. "With lavish production and a truly great cast, Blinn got away to a flying start and his celluloid 'Bad Man' is going to be highly inflammable with drama and humor." "Gee, I hope you're right, Mr. Carewe." "Of course I'm right and if you don't believe it, MUCHA LOCO, USTED!" "Mr. Moore, are you the cleverest of the Moore boys?" Absolutely ! "Matt is an awful dub, and Tom is terrible. . . pardon me a moment, there is someone at the door. "Come in ! "Ah, if it isn't my own dear brothers ! "Matty, my boy, and how are ye? And Tom — sit ye down here in this nice easy chair and light a pipe. "I was just telling this gentleman, Matt, and you too, Tom, that I have two of the cleverest brothers in the world. Seeling Co. Is Off To Location Again George ' Larkin resembled a truck driver as he arrived at the studio this week, with three wardrobe trunks. "What's the idea, George?" asked Director Chas. Seeling. "Just part of my wardrobe for this picture," replied George, "and as I'm to do a Beau Brummel, and the title is "Stop at Nothing," I'm going to show you guys so many changes it will take two assistants to keep my wardrobe straight." But we've found out that Director Seeling has just engaged pretty Marguerite La Mont as George's new leading lady and she's to be draped in many gorgeous gowns, so this may account for handsome George's three trunks. Miss La Mont, who has twice visited Los Angeles via the Orpheum Circuit in her own act, has declined an offer to return to the stage and will continue her screen work in which she has played several prominent parts since her arrival here six months ago. Possessed of beauty and great dramatic experience, Director Seeling is much pleased with his new find. The company is busy in their preparation of the sixth of the Larkin series and will leave ihis week for Coronado, where ferry scenes will be shot. Popular Sisters Gain Comedy Title The "Night and Day Sisters" is a phrase, or title, which leaves much for the mind to conjure with. First one might think of the sister who loves the night and its pleasures and of the other whose fancies turn to day-time, a lover of the flowers and all the great outdoors. In a way, one would be right, because both Theresa and Rita Claire love both the night and the day, but the title "Night and Day Sisters" has been bestowed upon them owing to the fact that Theresa Claire is a brunette, as dark as the darkest night, whileRita Claire is a beautiful blonde, whose blue eyes and locks of shimmering gold are truly symbolic of the glorious day. Theresa won the plaudits of the great Kosloff for her dancing number in Cecil B. DeMille's "Ten Commandments" and at the Motion Picture Exposition, while Rita's recent work with Buster Keaton in "Hospitality" and with Will Rogers and Edna Murphy at the Hal Roach studio has called forth comment of a most favorable nature. Their ultimate success in the realm of their chosen profession is assured. Larry McGrath and Bob Perry have been added to the cast of the "Fighting Blood" pictures, in support of George O'Hara and Louise Lorraine. Casting Director Casts a Sigh Although it is estimated that more than 200,000 men and women come to Hollywood each year with the intention of getting into motion pictures, it is not always an easy tasx for a casting director to get the types he wants. For instance the other day Frank Lloyd who is at work on his first independent production, "Black Oxen," in which Corrine Griffith and Conway Tearle have the featured roles, turned the task of casting the extras for the picture over to his general manager, Harry E. Weil. Weil and Lloyd had spent three weeks trying lo find a millionaire flapper who didn't look like she was an actress. A list of twenty leading screen flappers was gone over, then a hundred different types were given screen tests and finally, through the courtesy of B. P. Schulberg, Clara Bow, a 17year-old Brooklyn girl, who had appeared in but two screen plays was selected. Mr. Lloyd states that Miss Bow is the most typical flapper he ever saw and one of the most talented young screen players. It took several visits to leading hotels and cafes, to the beaches and a hundred examinations to find four typical flappers to be suitable companions for Miss Bow on the screen. Then Weil had to engage twelve women of about 60; women who were refined, intellectual and who screened well, for the tea party scene at which Kate Lester presides. It took two weeks to pick twelve women who measured up to requirements. This done, Weil spent ten days more selecting women of about 25 years of age to be suitable guests at Miss Griffith's dinner. Not one of eight agencies could provide suitable types, so Weil engaged Carmelita Geraghty, a well-known leading lady and engaged three friends whom she brought to the studio for screen tesi. Telephone calls to other studio? ana a visit to Cocoanut Grove, the ballroom of the Hotel Ambassador, during a society frolic, provided the remainder of the dinner group. Satisfied that he had performed his duty well, Weil turned his attention to a huge pile of correspondence only to find atop of it all a memo from Lloyd which reads. "H. E. W. Please don't forget the opera audience. We will need at least 500 fashionably dressed women and as many men. Check up on costumes." And then some people think that producing pictures must be "great fun." Carmel Myers and Richard Tucker have been added to the cast of "Beau Brummel" the Clyde Fitch play in which the Warner Brothers will star John Barrymore. The picture will be directed from the scenario written by Dorothy Farnum.
