ERHAPS the most th ril ling news of the is the announcement of Cecil B. de Mille that his next photoplay, which is to be based upon Arthur Schnitzler's play, "The Affairs of Anatol," is to be an all-star production. You have seen other all-star productions, 'tis true — merely so-called star productions, at times, we must admit, but never at their best anything so wonderful as this of Mr. de Milk's will be. His cast is to include Wallace Reid, Elliott Dexter, Thomas Meighan, Wanda Hawley, Gloria Swanson, Agnes Ayres. All of these players graduated to individual stardom under the magic touch of De Mille — and I cannot imagine a greater treat than to see them together.

Take the case of the Submarine Base at San Pedro, Cal. This is where all submarines needed for picture purposes are secured. The boats and the crews are loaned as a matter of courtesy: — many companies have swallowed this courtesy, hook, line and sinker, and gone away with little more than a thank you. Unlike these "birds of prey," the Thomas H. Ince Company is the admiration of everyone on the Base. For Mr. Ince has returned every courtesy the Navy has given him in every thoughtful and charming way possible. For instance, the officers were having a Halloween party, recently, and Mr. Ince himself 'phoned and offered the services of his cameramen to snap pictures of the guests and their fancy-dress costumes
The Lasky Studio always does the right thing, too. When I was out there the other day, there were eighty sailors performing in "Fatty" Arbuckle's latest, "The Dollar a Year Man." All they had to do was stand in formation while the "Prince of Wales" passed by. Their leader was immediately handed
