THE ZULU
HUT
<• ■* *
Raymond McKee
cordially invites you to visit his ZULU HUT out Ventura Boulevard, two miles beyond Cahuenga Pass. He hopes you will make the ZULU HUT a meeting place for yourself and friends where you may spend nothing but your time, and gaze into the great open fireplace while you play at Bridge, Checkers or what not. He tearfully regrets that he will be obliged to admit folks who are bent upon spending money. There you may be yourself, and let the weird wanderings of your spirit take what form they will.
Incidentally he serves whole squab, whole fried chicken, hot biscuits, corn pone and honey, not to mention the real coffee.

Charley Chase Turns to Activity
By Edith M. Ryan
IN the annals of Hollywood there are numerous cases of actors who have become directors, but it would be more difficult to present a list of directors who have exchanged the megaphone for the makeup box. Consequently the hat of Charley Chase, student of laughter, thrown in the comedy ring is interesting. And since it is there to stay, it is timely to measure this young man.
Charley Chase
During his six years with Hal Roach, Charley Chase spent four of them as director of highly successful one-reel comedies. The money they earned would reflect credit on the most widely known director in the game. And they are still making money.
But the psychological moment came and Charley Chase in the full enjoyment of his prestige as director, reckoned as one of the best in the comedy field, burned his ships and began the fashioning of his name for the electric lights, in the role of the average American youth who has been plunged into amusing situations.
To Charley Chase has been given the gift of story weaving. As director he wrote all his stories and supplied the “gags”. He has not escaped the typewriter as actor. For the first year of his one-reelers, he wrote thirty stories, and since he began the Charley Chase comedies, he has written fully a dozen stories in collaboration with Leo McCarey, in charge of this unit. When his year ends he will have completed a better average than one a month.
If you saw it advertised in THE DIRECTOR, why not say so? That will cost you nothing and will be of genuine service to both merchant and magazine.
