\M :-OP?eEAR09A\ J9iT\AlCy£> William D. Taylor is the new leading man of the Vitagraph Western Company, who are expecting great things from him. Eleanor Blevins has closed her season with the Western Essanay Company and has joined the Kay-Bee Company. Walter McNamara has exceeded the film limit by producing, at the Imp studios, a one-reel film comprising 139 scenes without one interior. It is pleasant to learn that the theatrical activities of Impresario G. M. Anderson in his Gaiety Theater at San Francisco will not interfere with his screen work. Muriel Ostriche (Thanhouser) has a new leading man in "The Princess," Boyd Marshall, fresh from the stage. "Mother Maurice," the Grande Dame of the Vitagraph, recently had a birthday, and her fellow-players showered her with cake, presents, flowers and blessings. Isadore Bernstein, general manager of the Pacific Coast studios, toasted a new member the other evening — a surprisingly modest and irreproachably clad member. The one drawback to an enthusiastic acceptance of the member was the mere detail of his being an orang-outang. Robert E. Graham, Jr., is Lubin's star juvenile man now, and they expect that he will equal on the screen his many successes on the stage. Here's an idea : What's the use of hiring $250-a-week players to do walking and "thinking" parts, when $50-a-week players can do them? Hasn't the time come for real acting? But how many modern photoplays give opportunity for really fine acting? Earle Metcalfe did some lecturing before settling down with Harry Myers' Lubin Company. The New Majestic Company have enlisted Howard Da vies, Vera Sisson, Billie West Victoria Batemau and other new ones, and intend to have the biggest stock company on the Coast. When you see "The Blue Rose," which has been storyized in this issue, vou will see one of the finest flower-shows ever shown. I f$ Clara Kimball Young and Earle Williams are said to be simply superb % in "Love's Sunset," a masterful production, masterly played. Alas, alas! Yale Boss has discarded his half-masters and is now a jg grown-up. A Charming Marguerite Courtot scores cleverlv in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ; I and so does Will Sheerer in "Over the Cliffs" (Eclair). ?If Alice Joyce does not look quite so well as usual, it is because she did more than her share over a thirty-pound Thanksgiving turkey that was presented to her by her Missouri admirers. • And now Alice Nilsson has a pet — "Black Tom," a cat. Sydney Ay res (American) is a young old-timer, having started with Little Lord Fauntleroy. Even Carlyle Blackwell himself is somewhat proud of his work as the drug-fiend in "The Invisible Foe." It seems that Kinj tives on the screen. Baggot is bidding for the title of King of Detec Enter Billie Rhodes as a candidate for beauty and popularity in picturedom. No disaster to report this month, save that Fritzi Brunette came near being in one in a taxi smash-up. 119
