Plays and Players (Cofitijiiied) ALTHOUGH several producers are said to have claimed her services, Blanche Sweel is doing her newest photoplay under the auspices of Jesse Hampton whose other stars are H. B. Warner and Bill Desmond. The story is "A Woman of Pleasure," and tiic blonde Blanche has the earnest support (if Wheeler Oakman, Wilfred Lucas, Charles Clary and other well known players. EVERYWOMAN" is to be put on the screen by Famous Players-Lasky with a cast that includes nearly all the stars and near-stars of. the La:,ky studio. ''Uncle George" Melford who is directing it selected the cast which is made up partially of the following: Everywoman, Violet Heming; Beauty, Wanda Hawley; Youth, Lila Lee; Modesty, Margery Daw ; Conscietice, Margarget Loomis ; Truth, Kathleen Kerrigm ; Vice, Marcia Manon ; Nobody, James Neill ; Wealth, Theodore Roberts; Passion, Irving Cummings; Flattery, Raymond Hatton ; Bluff, Wallace Beery; Puff, Tully Marshall. The Hobart play was done for the screen by Will Ritchie. HAL COOLEY, who used to play in comedies and serials, has graduated into the ranks of the much desired leading men. He is now playing opposite Mabel Normand and will first be seen with that charming comedienne in "Upstairs." IRVING CUMMINGS is convinced that 1 the stage is not what it used to be. He accepted a long stock engagement at Oakland, Cal., but a few weeks cured him and he returned to Hollywood, hastened to attach his name to a Lasky contract for the period of a year and will endeavor to forget about footlights. (Continued on page I2i) He Rolled Up His Sleeves (Concluded from page jj) of the Beach books, and stories, these have been filmed: "The Spoilers," for Selig, which Colin Campbell directed, and in which Bill Farnum and Tom Santschi staged the first great fight in screen history — Kathlyn Williams was, you remember. Cherry Melnotle ; "The Barrier," which gave Mitchell Lewis his character of 'Poleon; "The Ne'er Do Well," a story of Panama, in which Wheeler Oakman and, again, Kathlyn Willi-.ms appeared; "The Auction Block", — New York, with Rubye DeRemer as the show-girl; "Heart of the Sunset," a Goldwyn with Anna Nilsson and Herbert Heyes; and "The Crimson Gardenia," the latest Beach release, with Owen Moore. You may have heard that all authors do not look like the early pictures of Edgar Allen Poe. You"d take Rex Beach — and why they call him Rex I don't know — for anything but a writer. He's a Hercules with light blue eyes, a strong chin, and a jackdempsej' handclasp. He wears nice socks and ties; he has a plcas;;nt grin but he's no ladies' man. Usually he twirls his hat. Rex Beach and Will Rogers are a lot alike; if left to themselves they would go off into the desert somewhere, rejoicing that they had left the film world, the press, and still I^hotograiihers far, far behind. Mrs. Beach was waiting for him in the car to take him home after his hard and hot day's work. Mrs. Beach coaxed Will Rogers into the silent drama — he debuted in a Beach story, "Laughin' Bill Hyde." I think that collectively, the Beaches have done a lot for the screen. Ercry adTcrtiscmcnt In rn0TnrI..\Y >r.\GAZIXE is guaranteed.
