Y. This company was sent to Texas to. do four stirring stories of frontier life which called for rugged Western scenery and examples of physical prowess. Mr. Karr was selected for the leading roles to these stories by virtue of bis athletic qualifications. He is a wonderful rider and a fierce lighter, and there was much fighting and riding for bim to do. While at Fort Clark the company was treated royally by tbe U. S. officers and men.' They were all quartered at the barracks of the 14th U. S. Cavalry, and dined at the officers' mess. The titles of the pictures taken at Fort Clark are: "His liunky." "Iirltton of tbe 7th." "Convict 12. r »" and "West Wind." All of tbe ex- teriors for these stories were done in the South- west. Tbe interior scenes are now being finished at the home plant in Brooklyn.

OF PAPER- FOR - "HYPOCRITES." ■ Because of the'Immense popularity of that start- ling production, '/Hypocrites,"-Bosworth, .Inc., has been forced" 1 to issue an entire new set of posters, to take care of the demands for paper on this re- lease. This includes two styles each, of ones, three* and sixes, and one twenty-four sheet.' The subjects In .each .case have been .changed._nuw giving tbrc different styles of ones, three and sixes. As - the stock of twenty-fours' was com- pletely exhausted on tbe preliminary order; an entirely new one was designed. This is very nnlque in that it shows Truth, her mirror and Gabriel, ibe ascetic, as- well as a scene from the film. Tills shows .the much .discussed attll No. IS scene of "The Hypocrites," who bathe with about as little clothing as the law allows, and yet are afraid to face tbe Truth. It should make a very, startling and effective bill- board display for those houses which use this method of advertising. . The three and'six sheets are also notable in both cases,. being accurate «eenes from the film, and in all cases a new idea has been followed, namely, that of showing Truth and her mirror, with the real scene and the scene which the mirror shows. The Paramount exchanges thought so well of this now issue of paper that they placed orders for very nearly tbe entire stock almost before tne Ink was dry. TABLOID TALES. William J. Bauman and La whence B. McQnx, two prominent n-otton picture directors, were this week added to the long list of Metro Picture Cor- poration captures, and from now on will devote
