The Moving Picture Weekly (1917-1919)

THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 43 BLUEBIRD PLAYER'S MISHAPS FORCE LAUGTER FROM STAR Th filming of photodramas often has its humorous side, especially when an accident occurs to an actor in the middle of a scene which causes blushes were it not for a heavy coat of makeup. Such was the case a few days ago with William Stowell, featured with Dorothy Phillips in Director Joseph DeGrasse's current Bluebird production, "Triumph." Stowell in long hair and plumed hat was wearing a costume of the Queen Elizabeth period with flowing robes. As he started majestically down the stairway used in the scene his feet became entangled in his sword and he came down head-first, rolling over and over. No sooner had he recovered from his undignified position and had succeeded in doing the scene properly when he was called upon to fight a duel with Clyde Benson, another Bluebird actor who was wearing a similar costume. In some manner Stowell's hat br< nip twisted in the curls of his op» ponent and in withdrawing the weapon the curls disengaged themselves also, for the actor was not using a complete wig, simply having pinned the curls underneath his hat. In the meantime Miss Phillips sat behind the camera enjoying the unexpected comedy and laughed until her sides ached, as the scenes had been divested of their dignity and had descended from the sublime to the ridiculous. the One Best Bet of theWeek HARRY D. CAREY in "A TEXAS SPHINX" Harry Carey's millions of admirers will say that is some title for a Carey picture — because with all the dash and go that they find in his work, they know he is a master of the "quiet" method of getting his big stuff over on the screen. They'll enjoy every foot of this picture. It's great and thrilling, tense and absorbing, with a walloping punch at the end. There's a stage robbery and Harry is suspected. There's a pretty love story, and for a time it seems that Harry is to lose out, but the punch climax comes with a satisfactory surprise that will bring the fans to the edges of their seats.
