c i OE>ee/VR9C>A\ J9tTIAC*£« After seeing ''A Florida Enchantment," a popular conception of Edith Storey will be that she is a fine, manly chap and that Sydney Drew is a sweet young thing and a perfect dear. That very plump knight of the Vitagraph, John Bunny, has joined those of the footlights, but he will be back next year. Josie Sadler and James Lackaye have also left. Looks as if the Vitagraph is "reducing." The Lubin Company are making a five-reel play in which Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw and son are featured. Frank C. Griffin has left Lubin to direct for Ford Sterling. He confesses to be a good swimmer, altho he almost drowned while acting in "Lenape." Claire Whitney, formerly of the Solax Company, is now at liberty. A miniature in china of Naomi Childers has just been completed for the exhibition at the San Francisco Exposition. No ; Arthur Cozines and Ethel Cozzens, of tbe Vitagraph Company, are not cousins. You might think that "Bill" Shea (Vitagraph) is a very wicked man because he threw twenty Chinamen off a roof, but he isn't. When Roscoe Arbnckle (Keystone) was first weighed, the scales said 16y2 pounds. The next time he weighed it was 295 pounds. The next time — well, he wont get weighed again, and prefers to grow in popularity. Francelia Billington and Billie West are to be seen in "Thru the Dark," which is just the way stars should be seen. Helen Gardner is playing in a big feature soon to be released by the Vitagraph. Carlyle Blackwell's new company is the "Favorite Players Film Company," and their first play will be "The Key to Yesterday, " in four reels. Edna Mayo is his leading woman. Miriam Nesbitt (Edison), having captured first prize in a "Maxixe" contest, is now eligible for membership in the "Terpsichorean Society." Flora Finch was recently overcome by the heat at the Vitagraph studio, and it was necessary for her to take a week's rest. The Lubin Company is producing a series of pictures, "The Beloved Adventurer," in which Lottie Briscoe and Arthur Johnson are starring. Pauline Bush now has a company of her own, under the Universal brand, and her first picture is "Her Bounty." Chad Fisher, a Vitagraph camera man, was killed by lightning while taking a picture in Yonkers, and Lillian Herbert and Director Lambart were also severely injured. Winifred Greenwood has just done "Lola," which is her first picture since she was injured in a motor-cycle accident. An ardent baseball fan is Irene Boyle, the dainty little Kalem star. She is the mascot of the Kalem baseball nine, and her encouragement has helped them win almost every game this season. The Photoplay Clearing House's prize for the best photoplay received this month is awarded to Arthur E. Luzzi, 229 West Fifty-first Street, New York City, for bis four-reel international drama, "The Climax." Mary Fuller is still at Shohola, Pa. Helen Holmes' admirers will shortly have the opportunity of seeing their favorite actress in a series of railroad stories now being produced by Kalem. The series will be called "The Hazards of Helen." Pacific Coast society is taking an interest in G. M. Anderson's pretty little leading woman, Marguerite Clayton, who is kept busy these days accepting invitations. All players should read "The Reward of Thrift" and heed the lesson that it teaches. Watch out for the rainy day, because it is as sure to come as the rainy film. Earle Foxe is now with the Selig Company. Alice Hollister proves, in "The Devil's Dansant," that as a dancer of the Argentine she has few equals. 127 "^U£*«£v!*»iiCi£?S^r>
