Suite 251 CHICAGO. ILLINOIS ROBERT ANDERSEN, a star in Griffith's new picture, "Hearts of the World," was a thirty-dollar-a-week actor, it is said. It is now up to some thickerheaded producer to induce him to leave the man who made him, for a lot of money. Griffith's stars are never borrowed celebrities. They are flexible, pliable young people whose minds and bodies are entirely open to the expression of the Griffith idea. Plays and Players (Continued from page 84) tion when he says the word "psychology" is used "by so many persons who seek to appear learned that it has lost its effectiveness." We shall continue to use it a while longer, and leave to Professor Laemmle such kindergarten substitutes as "the convolutions of mental processes dissociated from purely physical reactions." MARGUERITE CLARK passed the first part of April enjoying an attack of mumps. Honest! She's been playing kid parts so long that when she has an illness it must be one that seldom occurs to any person older than ten years. WANDA PETTIT is the latter no more. That is, she has assumed her honest-to-goodness name which is Wanda Hawley. The change came about when the blonde lady quit the William Fox concern for the Douglas Fairbanks corporation. Allan Dwan, the director, didn't like the Pettit part — said it wasn't euphonious, or something, so Wanda had it deleted without a murmur. EK. LINCOLN, long absent from • moving pictures (his last venture was with Goldwyn) has left for the West, where he will appear in a new photoplay. THE income tax has hit some of the young actors in I. A. in an unusual manner. Owing to the sudden drop in production a number of people who formerly earned large salaries are now out of employment and in most cases without funds. Several men who during 191 7 earned an average salary of $300 a week have been drawing practically no salary at all during 1918. Unfortunately these same men saved little money during their period of affluence and even in cases where they did they exhausted these savings in their "at liberty" period. It will, however, be imperative that these people in some manner obtain the money necessary for paying their tax. ACCORDING to a press agent story, Billy West has received a love letter, and the missive is published, with the name of the misguided girl who wrote it. Perhaps this was such an event in the life of this shameless imitator of Chaplin that it was considered worth recording publicly. It is the first case on record, so far as we know where any actor has been such a cad. But then, perhaps it is just another example of the Billy West idea of humor. CARL LAEMMLE is now introduced as a purist in language, and has ordered his publicity and producing departments— so the printed tale goes — to discontinue using the words camouflage, intensive, psychology, and others. We agree with Professor Laemmle when he bans "hit of the season" from the advertising of Universal production, but we feel that he is flattering his own erudi "VY/HO would have believed that such " a classic as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had been overlooked this long by producers? The discovery was made by Paramount, and Marguerite Clark will be seen before long as Little Eva. VV7INTFRED ALLEN participated in W a romance which is more thrilling than any picture in which she ever starred. She married Lieut. Lawrence Sperry recently while out for a ride with him in his airplane. They were engaged and expected to be married before Lieut. Sperry sailed for France, but the wedding was hastened when the bridegroom suggested that they alight and get a minister. The minister and the Sperry family were corraled and after the ceremony the bride and groom flew away, the groom to report for duty and the bride to wait for his return from war. Miss Allen's last picture was "From Two to Six"; and she had previously appeared in "The Man who Made Good," and other Alan Dwan-Triangle pictures. CHARLES RICHMAN is again before the footlights, in a vaudeville playlet. This is his first appearance on the stage for three years, during which time he was with Vitagraph and an independent organization. METRO has organized a new concern to produce big features. It is known as Screen Classics, Inc., and will handle all special productions, some with big stars and some without. MABEL VAN BUREN. well-known film actress, and the wife of Ernest Joy, didn't altogether want to have her daughter go on the stage or on the screen. The daughter. Miss Kate Charlton, has accordingly done both. She is a member of the "Peter Ibbetson" company with John Barrymore and Constance Collier, and as to her film work — well, let her mother tell it. "I went into a picture theatre the other night," said Miss Van Buren; "to see a Lasky play in which I appeared. The comedy came on first — one of the 0. Henry stories. I looked up listlessly as the heroine entered the room — and if it wasn't my own daughter! She hadn't told me she was doing any picture work at all." EDWARD J. LANGFORD is now_ a corporal in Co. K of the 107th infantry, stationed at Camp Wadsworth, S. C. He was a prominent member of the World Film Co. He says he finds the work very interesting and is eager to get a chance to do his bit in France. Every advertisement in FHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
