The Photo-Play Journal (Jan-Jun 1919)

January, igig PHOTO-PLAY JOURNAL S3 "We missed you, Crys an I! We love you so! We are crazy about you!" "You may not have to leave 'The Lilacs,' " interposed the Tramp with a short laugh. "ies, we will have to go, too," insisted Sylvan tearfully. "Dr. Widdener has already arranged to have our furniture stored. He is just going to let us stay in the rooms over the new garage till — till I am well, an' — an' then we will have to go somewhere," he ended with a fresh sob. "If only Crys would marry Dr. Widdener !" he exclaimed after a moment, "but she won't!" "Maybe she will some fine day," suggested the Tramo consolingly. "No, she won't ! She doesn't love him. It's — it's somebody else," explained the boy frankly. "It's you !" "Sylvan !" cried Crystal, as if in pain. "But you can't love her, can you, Tramp?" cut in Sylvan bluntly. The Tramp laughed shortly. "Love is a dangerous thing," he said fiercely. "It often brings a woman to poverty and despair." "No," interrupted Crystal passionately, "It is the surest and only way to happiness ! It is the divine fire that " "Sometimes scorches and burns a woman's heart to ashes!" the man finished huskily, the words coming poignantly as if he loved deeply and knew the bitter anguish of disappointment. Crystal recognized the pain in his voice, and she was shocked, hurt keenly, as if a pointed steel thing pierced her breast. Who was it that held his heart and embittered him with unrequited love? When he said that love was dangerous, did he mean to let her know that he did not care for her in that way? And Sylvan had told him that she loved him ! Now had come a rebuke ! Crystal felt her face burn, hot tears started to her eyes and she buried her head in her arms. The night had lost its charm for her. The moon, too, seemed sad, for its brightness was suddenly veiled by a dark mist ; clouds were gathering in little groups and a hint of moisture was in the air. It was going to rain, perhaps very soon. "The boy's asleep," remarked the Tramp finally in a low voice, rousing Crystal from her reverie, after they had sat for a long time without speaking. "I am going to put him to bed, then I must get back to town to work," and he rose as he spoke, with Sylvan in his arms, moving toward the entrance. Crystal watched him as he paused there for a moment, the light from the electrolier inside illuminating and accentuating his strongly cut features. "I am going to wait for you," she said under her breath, rising and going up to him, her hand resting lightly on his arms. "No. you don't," he protested. "It may be very late when I get back." "I don't care how late it is ! I am going to wait for you !" she insisted vehemently, her voice quivering under the emotion that stirred her. He made no further protest, passing swiftly into the house. Crystal watched him disappear up the stairs with the boy, then hurried into the living-room, caught up the box containing the white dress he had brought her and made her way to her own room. She would try on the dress and let him see how he liked her in it. Carefully, she re-arranged her hair, adorning it with a single white rose she had plucked in the rose garden late that afternoon and carried to her room to beautify her dressing-table. The flower was still fresh and fragrant. Swiftly she undid the blue dress she was wearing, a last summer gown, and slipped into the lovely white creation. When every clasp was fastened she viewed herself in the old mahogany pier-glass, then hastened down to the living-room and seated herself on the davenport, her heart throbbing wildly while she waited. It was taking him an awfully long time to out Sylvan to bed. At last he came downstairs and into the room. Crystal rose and went to meet him. "The boy didn't wake," he said. "He was so dead asleep that my undressing him didn't even — Hello," he burst out suddenly, surveying her from crown to toe, "you've got on the white dress I bou — your money paid for ! It's — it's — well, you are charming in it ! Turn 'round and let me view you on all sides." She obeyed and faced him again. "You are — shall I say it ?" he queried hoarsely, devouring her with his eyes. "Yes, please," she responded hurriedly, catching her breath, still meeting his eyes. "You are like a — a bride tonight," he finished in a strange fierceness. "I — I shall keep it for my wedding gown," she faltered in a low quivering voice. Without a word he wheeled and left the room.

"The drawing of the tropical island?" I said. He laughed. "Oh, well, until I was twentyone I thought I was going to be a magazine illustrator, so I spent most of my time at art school." I thought of what he had said about the time and patience and work that is put into serials. "All very well," I said, "but how can you do it? A new episode is released every week — " He grinned. "We recently finished 'The House of Hate,' " he said. "That was twenty episodes — ■ forty reels. We made it in twenty-seven weeks, and that includes several National holidays, five coal-less days, and several 'cold' Mondays, which means a great many days when we didn't work." I said that I didn't see how he did it. "We have to be fast," he said, and I noticed that here he said 'we,' as indeed he had all through our little chat. "And then there are other reasons why we were able to do it. There's one of them," he said, pointing to the basso n his bathing suit, who hadn't halted a moment in his round of setting Neuman Flares and working storm effects. "He's one of the reasons and so is every man you see working there. With a staff like that a director is bound to work surely and swiftly. They are always racing with me, trying to keep just a lap ahead. You can guess the answer — if a director never has to wait for sets or properties or lights, he can spend more time selecting camera shots that will result in artistic compositions on the screen, and he has a better opportunity to rehearse his artists." He was quite matter of fact about it and didn't seem to want to claim any credit for himself, yet it must be remembered that this young man has been identified with almost every successful serial that has been made in this country. He wrote the scenarios of Pathe's "The Perils of Pauline," "The Exploits of Elaine," "The New Exploits of Elaine, and "The Romance of Elaine." He wrote the story and scenarios of "The Iron Claw," and "The Shielding Shadow." He directed "The Fatal Ring," and "The House of Hate," all Pathe serials. Now he is directing the new Pearl White vehicle, "The Lightning Raider," a story which he wrote in collaboration with Bertram Millhanser (who is writing the scenarios for this serial), which will be put out by Pathe. As we rode to the ferry together in his car, he confided to me that when he was writing serials and thought of a good thrill or stunt or dramatic moment, he put it in, no matter how much work it meant for the director. But now that he is producing, he feels differently about it. He said that in the continuity of the First Episode of "The Lightning Raider," young Mr. Millhauser had given him the hardest work he has ever had in pictures. He told me he would be very grateful if I could find some way to maim Mr. Millhauser so that his writing ability wouldn't be impaired, but his riotous imagination would be curbed. Personally, after seeing that typhoon and what happened in it, I think Mr. Seitz could produce most anything that might be written into a script. And I know that he would do it well, for the artist who once had an ambition to be an illustrator has not stopped being an artist, now that he is a director of serials.
