THE LUBIN BULLETIN ,+ARL METCALFE has completed his firft E ! pidture as a Lubin director, “ His Three | Brides ” with inimitable Billie Reeves as i his ftar. Judging from the peek he has given us, Metcalfe is out to make Satur- day, the Reeves release day, the king pin of the other six days of the week. Met- calfe has Reeves working in a way which is going to make you all double up with laughter and wrinkle your shirt front, sure. | W¥it\ “ Streets of Silence ” is the title of a new and original ftory by Anthony P. Kelly of the Lubin scenario force, which will have an early V. L. S. E. release. Director George Terwilliger will produce the pidture. JUNE DA YE is the name which has been adopted by that talented little lady of the Lubin Stock Com- pany, Vinnie Burns. Hereafter it will be JUNE DA YE — and remember that the name is significant of the beft there is in pidture adting. JUNE DA YE is going to be a big favorite with you and your audiences and is also going to be the biggeft name in motion pidtures. Don’t forget JUNE DAYE, and June is all that her name implies, the daintiest and dandiest of them all. You’ll welcome June Daye as you do the month of roses. Clay M. Greene, diredting a two-reeler recently, found it necessary to secure a live fish for a closeup, and live fish when needed for a pidture or for an alibi to the wife are decidedly hard birds to gather. Juft one of those little chance things happened when the camera man in either desperation or a “ comical vein,” dug a worm, bent a pin and a foolish fish fell for it. Then the scene proceeded and Diredtor Greene now insifts that this self-same camera man accompany him every Friday. Joseph Kaufman with his company, headed by June Daye and Francis Joyner have been laid up for three days with a peculiar kind of carbon poisoning con- tradted from too conftant exposure to the rays of carbon bank lights. During the taking of scenes in a Philadelphia department ftore, ten carbon lights were used and the players were in their rays for more than eight hours fteadily with the result that on Monday, the day following, all were confined to their homes under the Dodtor’s care. Diredtor Kaufman demands that the pidture “ When We Meet Again be a knockout after this experience. Diredtor Edgar Lewis with Ethel Clayton, House Peters and his company of sixteen have been camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, for the paft three weeks in order to be on the job for the beautiful sunrise and sunset effedts which he intends to record in his pidture “ The Great Divide.” Within a few days the company will leave for Gallup, New Mexico, and then back to Philadelphia. Carrie Reynolds has registered one of the hits of the season among photo-players. Miss Reynolds despite the fadt that she has appeared in but very few Lubin releases to date has taken the fans by ftorm as is attested to by the volume of mail she receives each morning at the Studio. She is playing now alternately with Billie Reeves and D. L. Don in their leading femi- nine roles and “ putting it over ” for keeps, good and plenty. Nance O’Neil, the beft of America’s emotional adtresses, has contracted with the Lubin Company to appear in a series of feature pidtures to be released through the V. L. S. E. Inc. offices. Odtavia Handworth will have the lead in a three-reel play by Anthony Kelly, to be produced by Diredtor George Terwilliger. Kempton Greene is some base-ball fan and is lionized by his fellow rooters almoft as much as he is by photo- play fans. During the laft world’s series he was cartooned in no less than seventeen newspapers throughout the country. Earl Metcalfe is in receipt of a letter from Sergeant Kerrigan of the English Army telling of his enjoyment at having witnessed a screen performance by Metcalfe at Vitry-L’Francois, France, for the wounded soldiers. ’Tis a ftrange world this — for I too saw Metcalfe in a pidture at Vitry L’Francois laft March — all of which leads me to believe that perhaps there is some fame in photo-playing after all. Metcalfe holds the record for European engagements presumably. D. L. Don comedies are going like wildfire on each Tuesday. The recent showing of “ Love and Swords ” at the spacious Metropolitan in Philadelphia, brought a verdidt of “ the find of the year ” for D. L. Don. A different ftyle comedian from all the reft with a face which outrivals all others for diftindtiveness. Don is an originator who has been readily accepted as a welcome relief from the sameness of pidture comedians.
