DOROTHY MORGAN A Clever Child Actress HARRY MEYERS SIGNS WITH WARNERS FOR “MAIN STREET” The latest addition to the all-star rooster of the Warner Bros. Studio is Harry Meyers, who is at present working in the Rapf production of “Brass.” Mr. Meyers last week signed a contract for a number of years and will be one of the celebrated players in “Main Street,” which Julien Josephson is adapting from the book by Sinclair Lewis. Harry Meyers is of course well remembered for his famous “Connecticut Yankee” picture, which stamped him as one of the foremost screen players of today. He played more recently in “Turn to the Right,” in which he did clever characterizing as one of the crooks. He was also featured in the Robinson Crusoe serial, and has played prominent parts in many other recent photoplays. Mr. Meyers was born in New Haven, Conn., on September 5th, was educated at the Philadelphia public schools, and has spent his entire life on the stage and screen, never having engaged in any other vocation. His father was an antique furniture collector and dealer and the only interest Harry took in his father’s business wTas in arranging the furniture and bringing in his young friends to play stage. At an early age he started on his theatrical career and has played in all kinds of dramatic productions, including a long stock engagement at Philadelphia. After being a short time in California, he bought a ranch in the fertile San Fernando Valley, where he lives in fine style, and for diversion tends to his own crops, and as a hobby, does wrought iron work at the forge, which he learned at manual training in high school. He is quite an adept at this and has many many artistic things for his home. His first screen work was as the lead in a Lubin picture in 1907 at Philadelphia, called “White Eagle’s Love Affair,” in which says Mr. Meyers, “We went on location in a trolley car and all the actors helped arrange the set, and I remember one time having painted scenery, cooked lunch and washed dishes, in addition to carrying a heavy camera part of the day.” BARTINE BURKETT Screen Ingenue Edward Sedgwick is starting “Heads Up,” an original story by himself in which he will direct Edward (Hoot) Gibson. He just completed “The Gentleman From America’ a short time ago. ^ ^ ^ Carter de Haven is working on “The Waggin’ Tale.” Sounds like a dog story. * * * This being the football season, we’ve noticed many old friends making successful touch-downs into the old reliable jeans, says C. L. Theuerkauf. * * * Lloyd Hamilton’s clever cut-up: “I certainly stick to the subject,” said the glue. A CHANGE IN FOOD Stimulates the “Inner Man” Hungarian Kosher Meals Mean Contentment!
