Arthur Hernandez made some great predictions for the Colorgraph Company just before he left for Florida last Saturday. Mr. Hernandez is the inventor of double coated stock which is used in his new process for colored photography. The double coating of film and other appliances for colored pictures have been the cause of much litigation, but in a recent discussion handed down from the patents office, Mr. Hernandez won the discussion which covered most of the points involved. The Colorgraph Company will erect new studios and laboratories on their property at Cedar and Hudson Park Roads, New Rochelle, N. Y., which it is said will be the last word in studio architecture. A newcompany is being incorporated to use the new color process arid it is Mr. Hernandez's prediction that New Rochelle will become the home of the million dollar picture. Wally Van, who assisted in the direction of the Rothapfel Unit has left the esthetic side of production and is now molding pugs into film form. If William Fox lands the big DempseyCarpentier bout, the sporting writers of the trade papers will have a fine junket, probably to Alaska or Panama, Kid Braud looks as pugnacious as ever in "Easy to Get," but it's all in the looks. Willie Spot the "Bronx Fly" has been signed up by a company in New Rochelle. Willie should be able to walk on the ceiling even better than D. Fairbanks. However, the open season for flies will soon he here. was over he had a perfectly good trip spoiled by a cablegram, but since he has but one daughter he won't have to cable back "Blessings my children" this time. Jay Rescher writes from Halcyon Hall, Miami, Fla., that he suffers from ennui and that he is bored to death with three full meals a day at the well known winter resort. Hard luck Jay. I knew you when you were poor. Estelle Taylor, who is playing the leading feminine role in the Fox feature, "When New York Sleeps" has just received an advanced copy of the song "Heartsease" by Paul Lawrence, who is responsible for so many splendid contributions to the musical world and which he has dedicated to her. Poem of Appreciation Dear James : Your Latin's rotten And will be forgotten. While the recollection will live Of your Herald's initiative. In honorably trying to make The movie game less of a fake. Than it was ere young Martin J. Came East to publish his say, And give "the fifth industry" a sheet That's making things pleasant and sweet, So here's to you, Jim, and let's hope You'll always print honest dope. — Tom Bedding. Mrs. Charles C. Pettijohn presented her husband with a bouncing baby boy on Tuesday. Charlie smiles and smiles and smiles. One might be justified in saying C. C. P. is doing something for the Republic. William A. Brady expects to sail for Europe this week. The last time Bill Ashley Miller, director of productions with the Community Productions, Inc., has a youngster of about three years who is going to be great dramatist, artist, writer, ac tor or some sort of regular fellow. He is original in the things he does for his own entertainment. His latest fancy has been a mania for throwing things out of the window if he can find one open. Recently while the city officials were trying to clean New York's streets of its obstructions of snow and ice. Master Ashley Browning Miller got hold of his mother's purse unknown to her and straightway emptied its contents out of a window that the maid had left open while dusting. The rattle of the silver coins as they struck the sidewalk, to say nothing of a few floating but perfectly good bills, caused a near riot among the snow miners in the street below. Picks, shovels, pushpans were dropped and a mad scramble was made for that which fell from the gods. It took a hurry call from the cops to straighten things out Later in the day four or five white wings were incapacitated by stiff necks acquired from looking up and two of the snow hounds were sent to a hospital having Muck picks in their feet. A. B. M. is now forced to coin for himself or originate some other form of amusement. Thurston Hall, who is in the title role of Willard Mack's play for the screen "The Prince of Pines," now under production by Selznick, was for three years in the title role of "Ben Hur" playing every important city in the United States. Mr. Hall has the reputation of being one of the most popular stock actors in the country. He is now devoting his time to the silent drama.
