CHESTER MUSIC CO.^IftV'&S Chicago, What Motion Pictures Have Done for the Navy {Continued from page 36) and enjoy the "pictures" of their favorite players. Some years ago — in 1910 — the writer made a cruise to South America. While our ship was lying in Panama, Canal Zone, a gentleman traveling in that part of the country came aboard and showed pictures to the crew of the vessel. Five months later, after we had made our trip to Buenos Ayres, A. R., and were returning home we dropped the "hook" in Valparaiso, Chile, and here we enjoyed a show by the same man we had met in Panama. One of the pictures shown was the Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield, Nevada, and as many of our men were athletically inclined, this picture made a great hit. And it was probably due to this fact that our Welfare Fund officer purchased a machine for us upon our arrival in San Francisco. Several ships of the Navy have been the background for some very popular scenes, and helped to round out many celebrated productions. Once in San Diego, California, a company came on board our ship and took scenes for a naval picture called "Jackie of the Navy." Another one, while it did not enjoy the popularity of the first named, was "The Love of Ora San," and many men of our vessel took minor parts in this play. During the Mexican trouble in 1914, a moving picture man came on board our ship just before we sailed for Mazatlan, and brought with him a complete outfit for taking pictures of any engagements we might encounter. He was from the Universal Company, and, while he did not get any "action pictures," he nevertheless secured some very interesting views on shore. Many scenes on our vessel were -"canned" and our mascots — dogs, monkeys, goats, cats and an ant bear — helped to make thingsrealistic. In March, 1912, my ship happened to be in Honolulu, T. H. As we stayed at the "Cross Roads of the Pacific" for some few months on this occasion, the commanders of each vessel in the fleet took turns in taking their vessels to_ Hilo, Island of Hawaii — the largest in _ the Hawaiian group. The purpose of visiting this port was to give the ship's company an opportunity to see the active volcano of Kilauea, about forty miles from Hilo. Our men went in sections, thatis to say two sections would go at a _ time. To make this plain to the layman it is necessary to state that there are four sections in a ship's complement. Therefore two sections would comprise one-half of the crew. At the time we visited Kilauea the lava was about forty feet from_ the top of the crater, much higher than it generally is. On this trip our own moving picture man "canned" the volcano, not, however, until after he had made three attempts and after destroying thousands of feet of film. The face of the camera got so hot in many instances that the films were blistered and his glasses cracked. Hundreds of similar instances could be cited where extremely interesting films were secured in a like manner, and in each case these pictures were shown to the folks "back home," which helped to educate the public that a sailor's life is not the very worst existence one could imagine. Our Animated Monthly of Movie News and Views {Continued from page 92) with him as a keepsake one of the suits he'd worn for dress up, a suit and hat he thought quite wonderful and ne plus ultra. When Mr. Griffith asked for the Rube type, Raymond Cannon thought of these old clothes, rushed home and got into them, didn't put on a bit of extra frills, but presented himself in the funny plaid store-clothes which had awed the mountaineers five years ago. The directorgeneral didn't hesitate a moment and when you see "Battling Jane," you'll know that you are looking at the real thing in country types, not prop clothes. Anita Stewart is occupying a lovely suite at the Hotel Alexandria. Sunshine Mary Anderson called there on her old chum and the girls had a beautiful time tea-visiting and comparing notes of time spent the past six months. Beatrice Joy has been down in San Diego, playing ingenue roles with the Virginia Brissac Stock Company. She's back in the movies now. Forrest Stanley, of whom we've heard almost nothing for two years, is also returning to the camera's grind. Winifred Westover was in Los Angeles with her ma for the opening of the theaters, but we noticed she windowshopt quite a while before entering the hospitable doors of the Orpheum where Eva Tanguay is once more making life miserable for us. Franklin Farnum told a funny story about a restaurant he visited in San Francisco. It was one of those out-of-theway downtown places, to which he'd gone to study types. On the wall hung a handpainted motto, thusly : "If your wife cant cook, Dont get a divorce. Keep her for a pet — And eat your meals here." Mr. Farnum added that judging by the number of men who were spearing beans at the hospitable "joint," cooks must be going out of style. Is there anything on earth the Motion Picture folk have not done? Yes, we're starting something new. There is to be a Moving Picture People's Prayerhouse, called "St. Mary of the Angels." and to be located in East Hollywood. Plans are already drawn, and contributions are coming in rapidly. The church will be a beautiful house of worship, surrounded by a typical Los Angeles flowergarden. Flirtation is attention without intention. The Fifty-seven Varieties of Hines {Continued from page 82) Louise Huff — and my last with her, 'The Little Intruder.' " Home, and nothing had happened. The Stutz stopped and its owner helped me to the pavement, and stood, hat in hand. "Some time," he said, "when I have attained my ambition and have become a personage with Vandyck beard and dignified demeanor and am playing the wily roue with a sneering smile and wicked eye, you can get a real interview." "Dont do it," I implored. "You're much nicer as you are." To which he replied with a truly Johnny Hines-ish grin, and a wave of his hat, as the Stutz bounded madly off, a yellow streak in the sunlight. 110 lAfi£
