Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1917)

MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE 15 Bessie Love is enjoying herself immensely at the Fine Arts studio. She has mastered the art of playing the ukelele, and whenever she is waiting between scenes she amuses the rest of the bunch with her playing and singing. Bessie has a mighty sweet voice, too. William Stowell is a strong favorite out at the Universal. He went out there to work in several features, after leaving the American Company. The Universal liked his work so well that they refused to let Bill get away until he had signed a contract with them. William D. Taylor took his star, Dustin Farnum, and supporting company, up to Truckee recently for some snow-scenes. Dustin offered a lot of prizes for skiing, skating and other sports, but did not have to give them when the contests were all over — he won them all himself! Tom Ince tells us that he is being flooded with stories these days for Bill Hart and Charles Ray. He declares that all the amateur and professional writers seem to choose these two stars to build a story around. Dorothy Dalton is also coming in for quite a shower of scenarios. Myrtle Stedman has been loaned to the Lasky Company by Morosco, and is being co-starred in a photoplay with Wallace Reid. Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran have "been feeling very tired in the mornings lately. These two boys are very popular, and a great many of their friends have been giving them parties one right after the other. Eddie and Lee both declare that being popular isn't so bad, after all — except when you have to be to work early in the morn. Monroe Salisbury has returned from San Diego, where he has been in chief support of Margarita Fischer in "The Devil's Assistant," and has gone down to his ranch to get acquainted with all his live stock again. When he retires from the screen, Monroe intends to devote all his time to his ranch. Director Joe de Grasse has just finished "The Flashlight Girl," at the Universal plant, with William Stowell, Dorothy Phillips and Lon Chaney as the principals. It is a fivereel mountain drama and is said to contain some new and novel effects. Speaking of novel effects, J. P. MacGowan is certainly getting some beautiful night stuff in the new serial he is producing for the Mutual, with Helen Holmes as star. Of course, it is a railroad story, but the night lighting he has in this series' first part, on which he is working at present, surpasses anything I have seen in this line. Dainty Ora Carew, the Keystone belle, is a prime favorite with every one at the studio, and is a very jolly little girl indeed. She has a new pet name with the other members of the studio forces, which now number nineteen companies. They call her "Little Miss Happiness." Lois Weber is producing another play that promises to be quite a thriller. It is known now as "Even as You and I." {Continued on page 151) Designed expressly for MAY ALLISON, the charming Screen Beauty. Cluster of ten small, drooping curls fastened to a shell hair-pin.
