BAIRD-NORTH CO. 844 Broad St. Providence. R. I. Bbipping weight 4 pounds -Advertising Section Plays and Players (Continued from page go) THE butcher, the baker, the candlestickmaker" — And now the baker has come into his own, on the screen. When they wanted a realistic bakeshop scene in Madge Kennedy's new picture, director Beaumont went out and hired the neighborhood baker. In one scene he bakes twentyfive loaves of bread, and in other scenes puts over the idea merely by rolling up his sleeves and putting his hands into a bowl of flour. Beaumont got many good tips about the scenes, too; and says that in the future he will enlist the personal service of any craftsman the script calls for, to get the benefit of his practical advice. GEORGE FAWCETT said, when he left the Griffith organization, that he "surely would miss Dorothy Gish." He went to Vitagraph to direct Corinne Griffith in one picture. Then Dorothy began work on her new comedy, "Her Majesty"— went through the script and started rehearsals — all without a director. For Chet Withey was assisting D. W. Griffith. So Mr. Griffith, to make up, called Fawcett back to the fold and assigned him to conduct Dorothy. They are working together again at the new Griffith studios, with a cast which includes young Ralph Graves and George Siegmann, our admirable villain. Married? Well, maybe only engaged. Persistent reports on the west coast say that Priscilla Dean is soon to change her name to Mrs. Wheeler Oakman. Oakman — who first became knoWT» in pictures in "The Spoilers " for Selig, and who lately regained bis position as a leading man upon hif return from U. S. A. service — plays in Miss Deans new^ pictures. Mrs. Dean, mother of Priscilla. has confirmed their engagement. WATCH out for Roscoe Arbuckle ! This portly comedian is going in for big things: deserting for a while his own series of slapstick coniedies, he will adventure into the Lasky studios to do The Sheriff in the feature production of the stage play, "The Roundup," which George Melford is putting on. This will be Fatty's first attempt in the field of legitimate comedy. SOMEONE in Hollywood started a story that Viola Dana is to marry Lieutenant Orme Locklear, formerlyXof the A. E. F. aviation service, but now Wiving exhibition flights in California. MissjDana denied the report promptly, but her denial as quoted in a Los Angeles newspaper had a curious phrase. She is quoted ^s saying, "We are not even thinking very seriously about it." If this means that Miss Dana and Lieut. Locklear are thinking about it but not seriously, the question arises, how serious are thoughts about marriage which are not serious? Still, as Locklear is said to have a wife, the story hardly seems plausible. It is about a year since Miss Dana became a widow through the death of her husbanddirector, John Collins. Incidentally, she has been wearing a rather magnificent ring since Christmas. HAVE you ever wondered why picture producers depend so much upon artificial lighting in the shooting of scenes when so many of them have the benefit of the sunshine of California? You know that, with your own kodak, natural light is much more effective than inside stuff. But the motion picture man has another angle to consider. The sun never stands still, whatever a certain Biblical gentleman may have done about it. Therefore, when a set is in work in the morning, and the company keeps right on working through the afternoon, the light necessarily changes. Night work is often essential and so the artificial light is resorted to anyway. If a company begins in the morning, inside the studio, under the arcs and with the spotlights, they can keep right on going until late at night with good and uniform lighting. HERE is good news for any filmgoer who likes to see real things in celluloid. Raymond Hatton, the French king of "Joan" for Lasky, who recently joined Goldwyn, is to do William J. Locke's "Septimus."' If you know "Septimus" you'll rejoice. If you don't know him, we advise you to see Hatton play him. (Continued on page 94) Every advertisement In PnOTOPLAr MAGAZINE Is guaranteed.
