And now conies Henry W. Savage into the film business. Carlyle Blackwell says that he will acknowledge all letters, but that he cannot enter into regular correspondence with any one. Joseph Kaufman, fresh from the stage, has joined Harry Myers's Lubin Company. Mona Darkfeather has recovered her automobile, which had recently been stolen from her. Fritz Wintermeier has joined the Essanay Company at Niles, Cal., to assist Mr. Anderson. Richard Travers, M.D., says that bicycling makes girls taller, and that is why diminutive Ruth Hennessy now has one. Alice Washburn (Edison) has received an admirable grotesque bonnet from an admirer, to add to her large and curious collection. The Thanhouser studio now has an elaborate greenroom, and the players may now enjoy their waits in luxurious ease. Crane Wilbur is the latest star to appear and talk at the Motion Picture theaters in person. Tom Powers is doing likewise in England. Hazel Buckham has left the Broncho Company and joined the Rex. Elsie Janis and company were the guests of Robert E. Cleary recently, at his Pittsburgh photoplay theater. The race for first honors in the Great Artist Contest between the two Marys is getting exciting. To add weight to the matter, the Vitagraph Company have decided to make a comedy containing John Bunny, James Lackaye, Hughey Mack and Kate Price. Gene Gauntier is building a new studio and has added Marian Nichols, John Maurice Sullivan and W. A. Howell to her company. The Keystone Company recently sent one of its seven companies 10,000 feet up in the air to get proper snow scenes for a picture. Had they been around Brooklyn at the time this is being written, they would not need to have climbed Mt. San Antonio to get mountains of snow. Earle Williams has had troubles lately, chief of which was a hot pursuit by a crazy woman who came on from the West and who kept the telephone and telegraph wires and mails busy for a week trying to make dates. Helen Case has invented several new dances, and recently gave a successful exhibition of them to her admiring friends. Cleo Madison plays opposite Warren Kerrigan in "The Acid Test," which the latter assisted in directing. Jean Darnell has recovered from her recent illness and is expected back shortly at the Thaniiouser studio. Wilfred Lucas (Criterion) plays a real double part in "The Outlaw." He stepped in and played the part when it was half-finished, necessitated by an accident to the leading man, and they say nobody will be able to tell who's who. Photoplaywrights and studio editors now have a club, the Ed-Au, which meets informally at Keene's Chop House, New York City, and discusses the proa and cons of everything helpful to author and editor. Phil Lang, of Kalem, fills the president's chair, and at the last meeting listened to remarks from Gene Gauntier, Jack Clark, F. Marion Brandon and Edwin M. La Roche. Glasses were turned down for Roy McCardell and Enes Sargent, now vacationing. Charles Seay (Edison) has invented a happy way to save the usual subtitle, "Two Months Later." He has a bewhiskered Father Time appear and cut off two months from a calendar with his giant scythe.
