Motography (Oct-Dec 1916)

December 2, 1916. MOTOGRAPHY 1239 Below is the very first outside glimpse anyone has had of Edith Storey in "Money Magic," a Vitagraph to appear February 5, 1917. The original shotgun scene and the one below are from Vitagraph's "An Enemy to the King," which appears November 27. E. H. Sothern furnishes the male emotions and Edith Storey juggles them. Vitagraph Standardizes Program EACH STAR WILL APPEAR IN FEATURE EVERY SIX WEEKS GREATER Vitagraph has planned a standardization of its program which, beginning January 1, 1917, calls for the appearance of each one of its best known and most popular stars every six weeks. Productions featuring Anita Stewart, Earle Williams, Edith Storey, Antonio Moreno and William Duncan, Alice Joyce and Harry Morey, Peggy Hyland and Marc MacDermott, Lillian Walker and Walter McGrail will be released during the first six weeks of 1917 and repeated throughout the year. Every week one of these stars will be available to the exhibitor, according to this schedule, and every six weeks each one of them will return. "This," says Walter W. Irwin, general manager of the Vitagraph-V. L. S. E. organization, "is one of the most important announcements, from the production angle, which Greater Vitagraph has ever given out for the benefit of exhibitors at large. "This means that Greater Vitagraph has a definite service of known value to offer the exhibitor, which he can depend upon both as to the regularity of the releases and the drawing power of the stars. It not only makes possible a long step toward standardization, but also provides the material for forceful advertising which the exhibitor can do. "By reason of this schedule it is possible for him to set aside definite Anita Stewart days, Earle Williams days, Edith Storey days, etc., so that the public will grow to look for them at these times and set aside the nights on which they appear to see them."

Rothapfel of the Rialto Theater, New York, that he has booked it for Thanksgiving week. _ Two of the world's finest houses have laid big
