CURRENT PUBLICITY To be sent to the newspapers the first day of the showing of * ‘Jules of the Strong Heart” George Beban has a new actress in the cast of "Jules of the Strong Heart" in which he is appearing at the Theatre, namely Vivian Thew, the eleven months old daughter of Harvey Thew of the Paramount staff of scenario writers. Mr. Thew has long been anxious to have the babyhood of his daughter immortalized in celluloid and promptly when he was handed the script for Mr. Beban' s forthcoming production, wrote in a part for a baby and succeeded in convincing everyone in authority that HIS baby was the only one to play it. Young Miss Thew will be chaperoned by her mother. GEORGE BEBAN DIRECTS GEORGE BEBAN. George Beban, the favorite Paramount character actor, acted as his own director in completing several scenes for "Jules of the Strong Heart" in which he is starring at the Theatre. During the process the other day, the star forgot a certain hat he was to wear and so he fined himself $1,000 for forgetting and then took himself out to luncheon to square things. Director Beban says he doesn't mind directing other people but, that as a star, George Beban is the hardest person to direct he has ever come across. The citizens of Hoquiam, Washington, were recently startled with the arrival of an aggregation which had all the ear marks of a circus, but which was merely George Beban and his company under the direction of Donald Crisp who were going to the Paramount Lumber camp to film some scenes for "Jules of the Strong Heart" which is now being shown at the Theatre. A full force of men for the erection of a complete studio in the mountains, was sent from the Hollywood studio to the Washington woods. Two baggage cars of furniture, a complete lighting plant, and when the company arrived they built their scenery, manufactured furniture, etc. The studio was so substantially built in the woods that the companies from the Los Angeles studio may use it at any time in the future. Mr. Beban took a company of nearly fifty players in addition to the force of carpenters, electricians, property men and the like. The company camped in the woods, and were absent nearly a month.
