Many of the leading luminaries in tiie acting and directing lines have "World Film" on their list of past engagements. CREIGHTON HALE is a Griffith player now. He is working under David Wark's direction in the enclosed" set in the New Rochelle studio which is the temporary home of the sunshine master. Clarine Seymoure, very Hawaiian in a grass skirt, hulahulas in and out of scenes in the new DWG THE only man who ever gave Premier Clemenceau of France a real thrill by a feat of daring. Buck Jones, has gone into pictures. Fox has signed the wild-west rider for a series of films. Buck was attached to the staff of a French general during the war. His rough-riding attracted considerable attention and he was asked to ride for Clemenceau. The veteran statesman was so enthusiastic that he had Jones repeat his performance for the King and Queen of Belgium, and their Majesties of Britain and Italy. 1 he luck of the Irish! If PHOTOPLAY S Answer Man, for instance, were ever permitted to visit tlie Lasky plant, lie would count himself fortunate if he only caught a glimpse of Wanda Hawley. But when John McCormack came — well, Wanda, as Peg O' My Heart gave him a real top-o'-the morning. production. Anders Randolf, former Vitagraph' character man, is a member of the cast. GEORGE F./VWCETT, one of the great actors in pictures, long a feature of Mr. Griffith's dramatic entertainments, has left to become a director. He is in NewYork, resting a while before taking up his new work. EARLY Shame Note: Eddie Dillon, who directs for Famous Players now, rode the winning horse in the original production of the old melodrama, "Sporting Life." HOUDINI will make" two pictures abroad. He had to make the trip to fill several postponed variety engagements; but he won't lose any time on his picture work in the rix months he spends in England. In 1022, the handcuff king will start on a tour of the world, to make a photoplay of adventure in every country he visits. Lila Lee, by the way, is his leading woman in his latest California-made production — little Lila who became a star in fact when she only played a supporting role — in DeMille's "Male and Female." THE Gish family is now complete. Dorothy has arrived in New York from the coast, bringing with her the family parrot, John Gish. Lillian and Mother Mae preceded the youngest member of the family by a month. Dorothy brought the important members of her company and her entire technical staff across the continent with her. NOW it's the Big Six ! A few weeks ago some of the best known producer directors got together and determined to join forces as soon as their existing contracts will have expired. Those involved are Marshall Neilan, Tom Ince, Maurice Tourneur, George Loane Tucker, Mack Sennett and Allan Dwan. They plan to produce pictures separately but will combine forces in the distribution of their wares. The avowed reason for the new combine was the monopolistic tendencies of the Zukor interests. 'Wiseacres profess to believe that in the near future, unless something intervenes, Famous Players-Lasky will have a stranglehold on the entire production and exhibition end of the film industry. Five of the Big Six — all but Marshall Neilan — have contracts with that firm at present. Neilan is with First Na'tional but his contract expires about September I next, when the contracts of the five others will terminate. It is expected that there will be some big financing and that the Big Six will go into the theater end of the game just as have the Zukor interests. First the theater men combined to fight an alleged monopoly; then the stars got together for the same ostensible reason, and now it is the director-producer. What next? GEORGE BEBAN has begun a new production, the first since "Hearts of Men," his initial independent release. It has to do with a dog pound and a lot of homeless dogs, and little George Beban, Jr., has an important part in it. Beban is his own author, director and general utility man. The production is to be distributed by a new Everj advertisement In PHOTOPLAY M.\GAZIXE is guaranteed.
