Fuller & Co. 50 Broad Street New York Phones Broad 383-4-5-6-7 llMMiMll^ Introducing E.Fish Ency to the Studio (Continued from page 72) "It's a rule, you know," he added, "and then they get only a V a day." On my cuff I figured — who was the fine old chap who became famous by writing poetry on his cuff, was it Remus or Romulus?— two hundred times five, one thousand, plus another thousand — I didn't blame the Governor for wishing to establish business methods. At six o'clock they ate— at the expense of the company — meaning principally the Governor — and then they draped themselves around the studio until after nine. "Where's Black?" one of the stage hands inquired about nine-fifteen. "He's in Miss Moore's dressing room telling her what a great director he is," another answered. "You know she's hooked an angel and is going to have her own company soon." (In America this means that some one with a jolly big bank roll has promised to invest some of it in a company to star Henna as long as she continues to call him "Daddy.") At nine-thirty director and star appeared upon the scene and began to work. By this time the Extras were so tired that they couldn't smile enough to get a fullgrown Sultan to take them for a bus ride to say nothing of supplying them with chiffon and beads for the remainder of their lives. Each scene had to be taken over four or five times, meaning so many feet of film at so much a foot, but Black should become mentally irritated, as the Americans say — he wasn't paying for an inch of it. At 4 :30 the next morning the Governor and I saw the two hundred girls falling asleep on the car to the ferry. "Find any need of business methods, E. Fish Ency, Jr?" the Governor asked wearily. I know he had visions of his little fortune melting about in thousands rather than in nickels — if you can grasp my idea, dear Count. By JoA^e, it was a beastly shame and I told the Governor so. "Well, get down to work and see how much you can save in the next week." I'm a bally poor saver myself, well, rather, but it's ripping the way I've figured out the money the Governor could pay himself if he shut up the studio, that is, the way it is run now. Give my regards to the CheverlyChases. Carolyn Cheverly-Chase would be a corker on the screen. Yours with a "first run" regard, E. Fish Ency, Jr. P. S. — Saw the Turkish scene run off today, meaning projected on the screen. One girl yawned right up in the Sultan's face and the rest looked as if they had spent a week shooting leaping eyebrows on the wing. It has to be taken all over again — that is if we can find out what it has to do with the story. This time E. Fish Ency, Jr., will boss the job, if you can grasp my idea, dear Count. William S.' Hart was having a luncheon with another player in a Western cafe and the waiter brought him some grapes for dessert. "Thank you," said he, pushing back the plate, "I dont take my zvine in pills!" "I wish you would pay a little attention, madam," exclaimed a director to a star, as she carelessly moved about during the rehearsal for a scene. "Well," replied she, "I am paying as little as I can." I "The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up!" In a harsh and bleak Scot winter, a boy with a frail body and an eager soul, longed to be a pirate and a soldier and a buccaneer. But the frail body would not and could not. So 1he soul that looked forth from the great eyes wandered over the sea and cliff into dangers and terrors beyond belief. You know that boy — the world called him Robert Louis STEVENSON he is the boy wei love SO' in "Treasure Island," he is the youth in "Kidnapped," he is the gallant soldier in "St. Ives," he is the irresponsible king in "Prince Otto," he is the preposterous lawyer in "The Wrong Box," he is the daring wanderer in the South Seas, he is boyhood eternal, undying. But in "The Master of Ballantrae" he finds no place — and in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" we look for Mm in vain; for these were written when the boy's soul was overborne by the wisdom of the world. There is treasure indeed in these twenty-fiye volumes — boundless joy for all the days of your life. You have thrilled over "Treasure Island." Do you know that there are twenty-five such volumes— every page a revelation?
