PE.ARL WHITE is going to be a real dramatic actress with emotions and the right sort of clothes. Fox will star her in a film version of Henri Bernstein's drama, ' The Thief." ROD L.\ ROQUE has gone on the stage, thereby fulfilling a life-long ambition. He appears in Alice Brady's new play. Rod first went into pictures when he was about sixteen ; he played old men then. Now he should make a fine juvenile. ARTHUR ZELLNER, of Metro s scenario staff, tells this one. The patrons of a small theater in New York state complained because the manager favored certain players. .\ committee of protest met him one night after the performance and asked him why he showed some actors and actresses in much larger pictures than the others in the cast. He had to explain that the operator has nothing to do with close-ups. F. ANNIE WARD and her husband, Jack Dean, are still in Paris. They act as ;:uides, philosophers and friends to visiting cinema stars. M.AUJilCE TOURNEUR is filming ' The Last of the Mohicans. ' All the Indians near Los Angeles who haven't had jobs since Tom Ince quit making "westerns'' will have a chance to retrieve their fallen fortunes. A New Baby Star She helps illumine the hero's lighted match. TTic spot thrown on the wall by the ordinary battery flashlight. YOU have known many stars, but here is one destined to cause a baby revolution in film production, to shine far more brightly than many stars longer established but not nearly so brilliant. This new twinkler began to illuminate film circles very recently. Her name is Miss B. .Arc. Reve Houck, of the Thomas H. Ince studios — he is chief electrician out there — discovered her. She is, in fact, his particular protege. He knew about her five years ago, but realizing that she was then too young to make her film debut, he has held off presenting her until now, when she is perfected in her art. She has made a brilliant hit already. She is particularly sure of herself in those scenes where the hero strikes a match, in meditative mood, to light an introspective cigarette. She is marvelous, too, in the sequence in which Bull the burglar makes his stealthy entrance into the library of the banker's country place. Miss B. Arc comes in when Bull finds the picture of a purchas«'d ancestor of said banker, behind which, as in all cood (movie) lilirarie.s, there is the Safe. Miss Arc is very much in the limelight right here. In fact, she is the Flashlight. She is not — do not mistake us — any ordinary battery flashlight. She is a baby arc, said to be the smallest automatic light ever lurncd on in a studio, but she has i.ooo ^X hen the new arc is fubstituted for the battery the light is greater. candle-power. Houck is her inventor, and be has been working for five years to get the sort of light he wanted. He says he has it now, and it solves all the vexatious problems of registering on the screen the different kinds of illumination. For. you know, when the actor strikes a match in the dark, it does not register more of a gleam on the screen than a firefly in the middle of a honeysuckle vine. It b the same with lamps, candles, and firelight. So it happens that every time anyone liehts a match or a lamp or flashes a flashlight in the film, various lichting devices have to be used to simulate and strengthen the feeble glow of the original illumination. Houck has perfected five different types of his baby arc. all operating on the same basis. The match substitute is the tiniest, seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and four and a half inches long. The actor can conceal it in the palm of his hand while the connecting wires extend up his sleeve and down his trouscr lec. When he lights his match he presses the button of his baby arc. and you can even sec thr little mole on his nose When Bull the burglar uses his flashlight t is with deadly effect — the safe of the millionaire is sure to be rifled, the lovely governess is certain to he suspected, and the plot spins merrily on — for Miss B .Arc is gleaming. What, in fact, would films be without her? i;«cry ■<:trrtiwni~iil In rilOTori..\V M,\«:a/.IM: I« cuaranim).
