Philadelphia TREE Catalog in colors^ THERE WAS A REASON Several years ago J. Warren Kerrigan ordered one of the finest riding costumes ever made for an actor. It was designed, cut and sewn by the King's tailor in London and cost the amazing sum of $600, exclusive of import duties. Jack intended to wear it sometime or other in one of his pictures. But the months went by and nary a script furnished by his scenario writers offered the slightest excuse for his wearing the outfit, altho he had opportunity to appear in everything else, from link armor to bathing-suits. Jack rolled up the suit in moth-balls and gave up hope of ever breaking even on his $600. Then one day an unknown author in Missouri sent Kerrigan's scenario editor a comedy-drama of the Texas oil fields. The editor wrote back : "Dear Madam — I have read your scenario, 'Live Sparks,' and find it excellent. Before making arrangements for its purchase, I have submitted the script to Mr. Kerrigan for final consideration. Should he deem the story meritorious, you may consider it accepted." A few days later the author received this wire from Kerrigan : "Have read first paragraph of your story, 'Live Sparks.' Notice that leading man is required to wear riding clothes. Production starts at once." CINEMA SERVANTS ! ! Marion Davies, star of Cosmopolitan Productions, tells an amusing story of the last Cosmopolitan feature in which she worked. Miss Davies says that in spite of the serious nature of the picture she owes it many laughs. It seems that one of the scene shifters was in palmier days the butler to a British peer, and, while he was not engaged to see that polite usage be kept sacrosanct thruout the picture, he might as well have been. During the rehearsal of a drawing-room scene, the ex-butler judicially watched two cinema flunkeys who had been screen dukes in their day. An accident happens to a guest, and one of the flunkeys, after the approved habit of our stage flunkeys, gave a broad hint of mirth. The quondam butler registered reflection. A maid came in with the post and looked knowingly as she delivered it — another habit of our maids on stage and screen. He here removed his glasses, but still held his peace. It was only when the maid winked at a gentleman of the screen posing as a lord or something and flounced herself about giddily, that the long-sufferer said his word. "It's never done," he expostulated in shocked tones. "They would think the poor girl was 'touched.' They would send for a medical man. That they would, sir. And the post — she would pretend not to even see the post. Post's personal. Now, as for footmen smiling — they might if they had a bit of liquor in them and were thinking of giving notice, and then not often, sir. There's such a thing as selfrespect." Miss Davies says that she, herself, and the director were heartily in sympathy with the studio worker's "views on screen reform.
