FISCHER PRODUCTION Now a Free Lance Eve Unsell Forms Independent Scenario Bureau — To Represent Harper's and Others It developed yesterday that the formation of the Eve Unsell Photoplay Staff, Inc., in Albany in November was for the purpose of organizing an independent scenario bureau by Eve Unsell, one of the best known continuity writers in the business. Miss Unsell, who resigned her position as a staff writer with Famous Players, is president of the organization, and has associated with it as vice-president, E. J. Clode, Jr., son of the well-known publisher, and Lester Blankfield as secretary. The company will write continuities, synopses, opinions and revisions of difficult sections of continuities already prepared, the rearrangement or alteration of stories for particular stellar parts, and the subtitling and editing of completed productions. Its first two contracts call for six continuities for Famous Players and another for the next six continuities for Katherine MacDonald. Miss Unsell's next releases for Famous Players will be three Hugh Ford productions, "The Price of Possession," starring Ethel Clayton; "The Great Day," and "The Call of Youth," both made by the Famous Players-Lasky British Prod., Ltd. The organization will also have a book department under guidance of E. J. Clode, Jr., and Edna Garden, formerly of Metro. It starts business as representatives of Harper & Brother, E. J. Clode, Sr .,and Thomas J. Watt. Others are to be announced later when final deals are closed. Bryant Receiver for Yankee Judge Knox has appointed Walter L. Bryant receiver for Yankee Photoplay Corp. in $1,000 bond. The bankruptcy suit against Yankee was started by "Babe" Ruth in November when Ruth claimed that $35,000 was due in back pay. The Biograph studio was also a creditor for $1,062 for studio rent. The assets of the company arc said to be the negative of the picture and the rights on sales. It is alleged that the negative is being held in a laboratory in Fort Lee because the laboratory holds a claim of $3,000 against the company. Xydias Back from Trip A. J.

Big Party G-r-a-n-d and G-1-o-r-i-o-u-s Time at the Exhibitors' Ball Thursday Morning Yea, bo! We all had a g-r-a-n-d and g-1-o-r-i-o-u-s time at The Astor Thursday morning when the Theater Owners Chamber of Commerce entertainment and ball occurred. Everybody who was anybody was there. Adolph Zukor and "Roxie" were on hand so early, however, that they did not wait, and they had a lot of company because the Ball itself did not start until after supper which began about midnight, prior to which there was a big vaudeville entertainment which the crowd seemed to like. A lot of out-of-towm folk were on hand and several well known stars, including Mae Murray, accompanied by her husband, Bob Leonard; Virginia Pearson, with her husband; Sheldon Lewis; Violet Mersereau, Louise Fazenda, Texas Guinan, Monte Banks, and others. There were so many beautifully dressed women it is hard to say what was what. When prohibition comes it is going to be hard on the crowd that was at the ball. Everybody stayed up entirely too late, with the result that half the executives and many of the exhibitors of this town failed to show up until noon yesterday. < The boxes in the Grand Ball Room were decorated with the names of the companies whose stars were supposed to occupy them, but they were all so busy dancing the boxes were desolate. The sales end of the business was represented 100 per cent. Lack of, space prevents attempting to give the names of the several thousand who were there, but they are all in the picture business and they all had a whale of a party. Me, too. DANNY.
