Warren Kerrigan, "Jack of Hearts." as he has tltly been dubbed, has received bis award, handsomely framed, from The Motion Ptoture Btory Uaaaiine, signifying he was third in their popularity contest. As Kerri- gan took first place in The Photoplay nana- sine contest, he is feeling very pleased at tbe warm recognition of his work. What E leased him most of all -was the receipt of a andsomely decorated book in wblch bis ad- mirers in New Orleans subscribed their names and addresses, eight hundred and three In all, and each name a vote. Warren Kerrigan is a whole-souled fellow, not a bit spoiled by his undoubted popularity, and he surely de- serves it all. A prominent actress has announced that she wants to do something to please the "little folks" with fairies, witches, kings and Srlnces, etc. Director Harry C. Matthews, of ic "Venus" Features, is wondering what lie has been doing for such a long time now.- For years past Mr. Matthews has been turn- ing out pictures wltb Baby Early and Muster Matty 'Tor tbe little folks," and during tbe past few months has produced a series of wonderful fnlry stories Including "The Three Bears," "Beauty and tbe Beast," "Sleeping Beauty," "Aladdin," "Prince Ahmed," "Han- sel and Qrctel" and—well, many others. Tliey are wonderful productions, too. In two and three reels, and there are more to come. Dorothy Davenport is back again in the "Universal" fold after being wlt5 Sollg and Kaleui. She will play opposite to Wallace Held, who starts producing on his own ac- count next week. He will write most of his own photoplays too. He has a delight- ful little leading woman, for Dorothy Is a great favorite with a discerning public, her work is always conscientious una carefully thought out. Welcome "home," Dorothy. J. Fai-rell MacDonald and ils wife, Edith liostwlck, of the Venus Features, have been taking a few days' well earned holiday, and have been receiving old acquaintances in San Francisco. Kd. J. Brady, who will Join Wallace Rcld'a company, is well known on the vaudeville circuits both tor his Jewish Impersonations and. his "rag*' singing. He has written quite a number of successful songs. He has a long experience In the pictures, having acted wlta tho Powers, the Vltagraph, tho Republic and Kay Boo companies. tin left tho last to ioln the Universal, and is doing very oxcel- cnt work, CHICAGO EXHIBITORS AGREE ON THREE REELS. •Chicago exhibitors and exchange men. at e meeting held In the Windy City, decided that three reels of pictures for Ave cents and live reels for ten cents would bo the rule in practice hereafter. -Tho meeting was held under tho auspices of tbe International Motion Picture Associa- tion of Chicago, and exchange managers, in- cluding representatives from tho principal exchanges. ... _ - Tho proposed three-for-a-nlekcl and nve- for-n-diuio scheme has many opponents among the fcaturo film men. Win. J. Swconey is one of tho chief sup- porters of the idea, which will have to be put Into operation In order to estimate tbe good and bad points of the same. CARLYLE iBLACKWELL ENGAGED BY AMERICAN COMPANY. Cnrlylo Biackwcll, formerly lending man of tho Kalem Co., lias been engaged as lead to replace J, Warren Kerrigan, who resigned recently, to becomo leading man for the Uni- versal.

Tub petition in bankruptcy filed against Albert E.

Hriim-UT Blaciib, president of tbe h\ elusive Supply Film Corp., end manager of the Botox Co., is enjoying a vacation In the Pocono Mountains. Paaai. Whits, leading woman of Crystal films, returned from Europe last week, while abroad she visited all the principal studios in France, Italy and England. Tub '.Thaw pictures, sponsored by Hal Reld, who once wrote a clay In wblch the much-wrltten-up Harry Thaw was charac- terized as a young man more sinned against than sinning, are being shown at the Keith New York theatres this week. It is said Harry Thaw gave Hal Reld tbe privilege of making these motion pictures, wblcb show him in tbe Canadian prison, owing to the fact of Reld having written the aforemen- tioned play. In which Mr. Thaw was set forth in such a favorable light Tub Sapho Feature Film Company has been formed with offices in New York City. The company will market the six-reel Ma- jestic "Sapho" production, with, Florence Roberts In the leading role. Tub Exhibitors' Feature Booking Agency has been organized, with Earl Bryant Barnes, a member of the New York Bar of several years standing, as tbe president and general manager.

Richabd Willis hat been commissioned to write a series of photoplaya for J. Farrell Macdonald, now producing for Warner's Fea- tures. Inc., at Hollywood, CaL Macdonald Is firm in bis determination to produce pic- tures which will "teach something." In his own words: "I am through with putting on pictures which merely tell a story or Intro- duce a so-called 'punch/ The screen it tbe biggest factor in the world for tbe improve- ment or tbe spoiling of character, and I want my productions to make people think, not by too subtle suggestion, but by the actual presentation of evils or blessings wblch can be understood by all who see them. It seems wrong to wilfully lay aside the power which we undoubtedly possess to do some good in this world." Here's more power to bis elbow, for he is able to do Just what he wants to and has tbe courage of his convictions. Bart Eably, of the crganliationproducinr for Warner's Features, Inc. at Hollywood. Cal., Is greatly distressed. She has lost her puppy and in inconsolable. Baby Early Is a freat hand at finding new pets, and ber aunt, lisle Albert bat considerable difficulty in persuading her small niece tbat 'their bun- galow is not a home for all the strays in Hollywood. Habby C. Mattiiiws, of Warner's Holly- wood organization, has at last finished bis sumptuous production of "Aladdin," and a very remarkable picture It U, from an acting and photographic standpoint, as well as from Its direction. "Aladdin" stands oat as quite the finest fairy story ever filmed. The costuming of tbe play is an eye opener, and all those concerned In its production are proud of their achievement James J. Corbett, familiarly known to everyone as "Gentleman Jim," Is schednk-d to make his Initial appearance In moving pictures In a Warner Feature, entitled 'Tbe Man from the Golden West." It is a thrill- ing story of love and adventure, In four parts, and Is bound to go Dig wherever shown. Ai.Tiiouon this Is Corbett'a first appear- ance before the moving picture camera, lie la no stranger to the stage, having toured the States and tho English theatres In a number of successful plays. Cobbbtt's role In this big production calls for quite a bit of daring and bravery. In one scene he saves tbe gold mine from de- struction by seizing a sputtering bomb and hurling It with all bis might Into a deep ravine, where it explodes with terrific force. In another scene he uses a high powerr-d an- tomobllo to capture the stage coach bandits. THE JACK LONDON SITUATION.
