*\> I f e«*i «ewwis«£ w pumm®n aby Desiys is doing a photoplay for the Famous Players, and Ethel Barrymore is doing "The Nightingale" for the All Star Company. Vivian Rich has purchased a fast motor-car, and now she is a real "Flying A." The Biograph are now releasing two extra plays every week, one a two-reeler. I., which includes Ormi Huff, Kempton Greene, Lubin now has a company at Newport, R. Hawley, Edgar Jones, Earle Metcalf, Louise and others. Irving Cummings and Mignon Anderson are not married and dont intend to be, and thereby hangs a tale. Irving will have his little joke, even if at the expense of a charming lady. A new Rex company has come to life, with Pauline Bush, Lou Chaney and Joseph King on top. Mary Charleson has left the Vitagraph, and Maurice Costello will have Estelle Mardo for his leading woman. Latest war news : When the Vitagraph Company recently wanted a regiment of soldiers for a military feature, a certain director charged the hill to Fort Hamilton, interviewed the commandant — and came back soldierless. The next morning Edith Storey mounted her steed, gained entrance to the fort, saw the colonel and rode back with a supporting regiment. Who could resist such a cavalry charge? In "The Masked Wrestler" (Essanay) Francis X. Bushman shows that he can wrestle quite as well as the professional champion, Charles Pestl. The Chicago Censor Board has ordered that the flogging scene be cut out of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The children's morals must be protected ! "The Lure" has been filmed, and now "Damaged Goods" is under way. Alas, alack! The Gaumont Company have presented President Wilson with a film showing scenes in which the late Mrs. Wilson and family appeared. The President was greatly pleased, for it added a drop of joy into his cup of sorrow. Our gold prize this month goes to the author of "The Double Life" ; second prize to the author of "The Blind Fiddler." E. K. Lincoln, true to his name, might now become immortal by addressing the people on the European war. Ethel Lloyd recently won a silver cup for the best dancing of all the Vitagraph players. Lillian Walker was a close second. Denton Vane will now be seen in Vitagraph releases, and William Duncan, of the Selig Company, has joined the Western Vitagraph. 125
