Moving Picture World (Jan-Mar 1915)

March 6, 1915 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD 1469 A postal card received from Miss Eleanor Woodruff post marked Bracketville, Texas, states that the perils that befell Pauline has nothing on the excitement that she is running into in her present work. Between dodging cactus and Mexicans, the daily life of a picture actress is just one thri.i after another. • « • Charles Ray had a narrow escape from injury the other day on his way to work at Santa Monica. The axle of his car broke and the car turned turtle, but Ray jumped and was not even scratched — it is his bank balance which has suffered most. Ray has been Singularly unfortunate with his automobile and has had more than his full share of trouble, but he says he is thankful that he has never been hurt and believes he bears a charmed life — so mote it be. Ray is taking the lead in an Oriental picture in which he is a young officer, and is giving an artistic presentation as usual. • * • Violet MacMillan, the lately acquired leading woman of the Kay-Bee company, gives a fine portrayal of an innocent country lass who is lured by the circus in "The Phantom on the Hearth," a release of the New York Motion Picture Corporation as a part of the Mutual Program March IS. Miss Mac Millan's interpretation is sweet and graceful throughout the picture, and it is regarded as one of the finest pieces of work she has ever done. • * * Mary Fuller is now playing in a new photoplay by Elaine Sterne, the prize-winning author, entitled "The Duke and the Dinner." Not an inkling of the plot can be derived from this title, but it is known that the climax comes as a unique surprise. Miss Fuller is very enthusiastic about this production and is anxiously waiting for its completion. Lucius Henderson is the director. • * « Emmett Campbell Hall, the Lubin scenario writer, happened in at the Lubin studio this week with a kitful of new photoplays and, incidentally, to look things over. Hall, unlike many of the other Lubin writers, does scarcely any writing at the studio. He lives in Glen Echo, Maryland, and spends practically all of his time there writing. Periodically he emerges from his retreat, always accompanied by a number of new photoplays. • * • Inceville, where Kay-Bee, Broncho and Domino films are made by Producer Thomas H. Ince, embraces among its features a genuine Dutch windmill, a replica of an historic landmark in Holland. This is seen in some of the big scenes of "The Mill by the Zuyder Zee," a release of the New York Motion I icture Corporation, March 18, treating of the Spanish invasion of Holland. • * • The Picture Playhouse Film Company, Inc., opened this week an office in St. Louis, Mo., at 3431 Olive street, and for the present Mr. Arthur A. Lee, the traveling office manager of the Picture Playhouse Film Company, Inc., is taking charge of this branch office. • • * Tom Mix, whose feats of horsemanship in motion pictures are continual surprises to motion picture enthusiasts, once rode the western plains as a cowboy. • * • A most sensational film is "The Phantom of the Violin," a three-reel Gold Seal drama, in which Francis Ford and Grace Cunard play the leading roles. Mr. Ford has given great care to his trying role, that of the half-man, half phantom, and the result is a startling production. Picture Theaters Projected.
