pictures is past. Every "stunt" that can be accomplished by actor or rider, without loss of life, has been done so often that audiences are now bored by the most sensational films. Nothing seems to be left but good stories, well acted and prepared with the utmost faith to detail and scenic effect. In the special case of Mr. London's stories, the director's work is simplified in that he has only to follow with utmost exactitude the descriptions of the author, and, wherever possible, photograph the scenes upon the exact locations described by Mr. London. Jesse L. Lasky, long known as a producer of vaudeville classics, and a comparative newcomer in the field of silent drama, has leaped to the front as a creator of big features, by reason of the plan of the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company, which, in its preliminary announcement, gave out the statement that it had already contracted for sufficient material to keep the entire firm busy for three years. The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company, composed of Jesse L. Lasky, Cecil B. De Mille and Samuel Goldfish, will make twelve big productions the first year, the initial feature being "The Squaw Man" with Dustin Farnum. Following this, Edmund Breese in "The Master Mind" and Edward Abeles in "Brewster's Millions" were released. Each production will require a month for the making, and exhibitors look forward to the Lasky output as the supreme effort in the film world. Mr. Lasky will personally supervise the making of all films and Cecil B. De Mille will have charge of the direction and staging of the productions. Samuel Goldfish, a business man of no little repute, will look after the executive end of the Lasky affairs.
