'Are they all as big as you?" asks Farnum.
CLAIRE IS A
BORN VAMPIRE.
£LAIRE DU BREY has found her niche. She is a real, sureenough vampire, and she is surely destined to fame of the blackest sort in this nefarious career. She proves it in "Triumph," the coming Bluebird, starring Dorothy Phillips, with the famous partners of that concern, Lon Chaney and William Stowell. This is the last Phillips picture to be directed by Joseph De Grasse, who has taken charge of the screen destinies of Franklyn Farnum. Claire plays I the lady villain in this cleverly I constructed play within a play. In
fact, the plot is a triple affair , x .
in reality, which becomes apparent in the very last hundred feet of the very last reel, and affords the audience a surprise which is one of the best bits of camouflage ever seen in pictures. You only have to see Claire in this role of the supplanted star of the touring company, who misses her chance of the big part when the company at last reaches Broadway, to realize that her talents and her exotic appearance have found their rightful place in such parts as this. She is a vamp of the real type. She can writhe, roll her eyes, and utter unheard curses with the best of them. 4
"I like it," she says. "Perhaps it's a depraved taste — I daresay, but nevertheless I enjoy being a bold, bad, desperate willainness — the blacker the better. I never did feel happy playing in a gingham frock. I knew that ■ wasn't my style. This is I the sort of thing that I I can really wear and do I justice to."— "This" is the rather sensational evening cloak shown in the cut.
FARNUM PLAYS "THE MAVERICK."
"pRANKLYN FARNUM, directed by Joseph De Grasse," is what the fans are going to read on the releases of the popular star hereafter. Farnum is "on his own." Brownie Vernon will desert him, after the release of the coming Bluebird, "A Stormy Knight," and return to her first "picture" love, Herbert Rawlinson. Farnum will work under the direction of De Grasse, who has been sharing Dorothy Phillips and her company with his wife, Ida May Park, and Miss Park will take sole charge of the Phillips releases.
That is the latest from the Bluebird studios, all hot as it comes from the wires; and sorry as we shall be to see Miss Vernon and Mr. Farnum
parted, we cannot help being glad to hear that the combination of Herb and Brownie will be seen again in the near future. Farnum and De Grasse should form an ideal team, and splendid results may be looked for in their co-operation. The picture is called "The Maverick." It is a story of the East and West, in which a lot of cowboys will work with Farnum. The cut shows him in the act of being introduced to one of them. He looks a tiny bit apprehensive.
"Are they all as big as you?" he's asking. "They'll never get you in the draft — you'd need too much stuff for a uniform, and besides they'd have to dig the trenches 12 inches deeper, or take 12 inches off you."
