Tho inquiry merely calls attention to tho vital truth that the French and Italian play- ers are adept In pantomime, an art almost extinct In this country, and for which tacro Is no school of development, save In tbc film studio. This Is ho true that oven In tho production on tho screen of plays, famous be. causo of Individual portrayals, tho roles aro enacted by the distinctly studio product who, more often than not, began as an "extra, and soon becamo an Important member of tho organization, In almost every studio, In this country, releasing photoplays, one may and several of tbeso young men and women who camo thcro unknown nnd now ore tho main re- liance of tho directors, and In no InBtance have any of theso been in danger of being MONOPOL CONTROVERSY TO REACH displaced by the celebrities of tho stage. f— 11... 1T11 .. ,.-.,.

II the outset of Its photoplay crploltatlon. Miss Joyce had practically no stage ex- perience; none of the grand opora stars en- joy a greater popularity, yet Miss Joyce has refused many splendid offers to "star on Broadway and has no ambition to change her environment. Mary Pickford, known si the "Maude Adonis «f tho MovloB," played smnll purts for Oclosco before sho became celebrated as "Llttlo Mary" of Olmdom, 'but Mary found tea times as much money in her pay envelope recently when she returned to Bolnsco to play tho blind girl la "The Good little, Devil" as was meted out to her boforo sho was "Queen of the Movies," and Mr. Hclasco was not aiwaro that shp had been in his em- ploy when he chanced Into one of the llttlo theatos for recreation, and was Impressed with her artistry. Just now Mary la posing before tho camera man In Delasco plays, and Is understood to be tbo highest salaried photo- player in this country. Rosemary Theby, who Is the leading lady of the Iioliance Company, had absolutely no stage experience whatever. Even as a photo- player she has had only two years' experi- ence, yet Miss Theby Is ono of the celebrities of the slient drama, assuming tho heavy roles with, a preference for toe adventuress. Cnrlyslo BlackwcII, who plays opposite to Alice Joyce with the Kalcm Company, Is yet in his early twenties. No matinee idol In the playhouse zone ever created a greater following among . tho ' fair lex than this youngster, whose face and name were un- known In theatrcdom. Mr. BlackwcII la sup- ported In tho film studio by some of tho bent known players of the Broadway stage, yet with Miss Joyce, bo remains tho Kalcm's stellar attraction. Mary Fuller, famous as the "Miry" of the BdLson "What Happened to Mary?" series, Is a striking Illustration of tho vastly dif- ferent conditions that obtain In the theatre of science. Though Miss Fuller has had somo stugc experience, sho rose metcorlcalljr to fame from the day sbo entered tho Unison studio. There.Is nothing In the line of In- trepidity that has not fallen to her lot In one or the other of her daring portrayals. Warren Kerrigan Is tho name ot the handsome loading man of the Universal Film Company. It Is said of him that ho re- ceives countless letters from the parents of young men asking his cooperation In the effort to cmuL.te nls genteel manners. Re- garded as the physically perfect man, Ker- rigan truly Is a model of grace and re- finement as revealed on the screen. Min- isters have advised from the pulpit that tho rising genoratlon of manhood endeavor to copy Kerrigan's sctlons In Impromptu emergencies, adding that tho photoplayer claims to be Inspired at all times by his love for his mother, and the knowledge that She would approve of his Interpretation only, If true to the Ideals of manhood with which be was endowed. Such Is the photo- player depleting Western character on ths screen. ' Gilbert M. Anderson Is perhaps the most popular photoplsycr of to-day, bo Is also one of tho pioneers of the dim Industry, and a half owner of one of tho largest producing concerns In the field. Mr. Anderson, like ■io many of his colleagues who have achieved famo and fortune befors the earners, had little or no stage experience, yet as Broncho Billy on the screen ho has endeared himself to half of tho population of tbo civilized world. Bated as a likely millionaire, Mr. Anderson Is erecting a jmhllnl playhouse In San Francisco, costing 1400,000, which Is to be one of the show places during tho Panama Exposition, but In which he will not appear himself, a* he holds that tbo apeoranco of a J imminent photoplayer in tbo flesh Is dls- lluslonlzlng to the tremendous public that regards the latter as something superhuman. It Is a fact that rach eminent stage stars as Rose Co&dlan, Mabel Taliaferro, lllsncho Walsh, and even tho Bernhardt, herself, have failed to exert In tbo screen, any unusual Influence. Certain It Is that tile millions of photoplaygoers to whom tbo Inside of a regular playhouse Is an unknown spectacle, would resent any movement tending to re- place their favorites' by the exploitation of even the most Illustrious stage figures Of do modem UitaUv. fl ■ AM ERICfliN- ECLAIR 69 99 A ■ T PROTEA The Greatest and Most Amasing Novelty Ever I Offered tho Public.
