I t^ ,lh' btiy my toilet goods from Plays and Players (Continued) SYLVIA B REAMER, that dusky jewel of many Ince pictures, and later a decided adornment to J. Stuart Blackton's films, has gone to Mayflower, where she will be starred under the direction of Sid Franklin. GRACE CUNARD would seem to have given up serialing. Another one of her "come-backs"' will be staged as the ladydirector of a new series of two-reel comedydramas, for National. SEENA OWEN, the lovely blonde discovered at Fine Arts, and more recently leading woman for Tom Moore, is in the east now. She is playing opposite another Moore — Owen— in "The Woman Hater."* COLES — I'm afraid I snored terribly in the theatre tonight. Mrs. C. — Nobody noticed it, my dear. It came right in the middle of the third act, in the storm scene, and everyone clapped because they thought the thunder so realistic. — California Pelican. "(^ OT to have a colored quartette for our Vj cabaret scene," the director said to the studio manager. "All right, but don't have too many in it," was the reply. HELEN HOLMES made a rapid recovery after an operation for appendicitis in December and in January began making a serial, "The Danger Trail," under the direction of Gilbert P. Hamilton, for Warner Brothers. It will not be a railroad story, though it will have some engines in it to make Miss Holmes feel comfortable. SOME New York filmgoers have been heard to remark that in preference to attending the Capitol, said to be the world's 1 rgest theater, and assuredly Manhattan's biggest picture-house, they would go to a neighborhood theater where they would see a good picture and a comedy or scenic, without having to while away an evening watching a tiresome and seemingly endless "revue," such as The Capitol presents to its patrons. Since its inception, the policy of this theater has been to stage elaborate "song and dance'' tabloid entertainments, featuring show-girls, fancy electricity, and popular songs. The entertainment usually lasted three-quarters of an hour. By the time the picture you tame to see was thrown on the screen, you were too dazed to enjoy it. Ned Wayburn, a well-known stage director of revues, put on the non-cinematic show at the theater until recently, when he resigned. Now they are planning another revue. How long will it last — the new revue, we mean? 11 AT i/OUB DEAUeR,A LARSE BOX 50 erg LON CH.y«r7>wh>>. played "The Frog' in "ThuMVIiracle MaiK has been engaged to instruct /Jack Dempse^ in the gentle art of making»up.

HUGE advertismg campaigns, prominent jewels, a good modiste and a faithful financier don't make screen success, so some little Broadway belles are busy discovering right now. One pretty girl in particular has had a chance that other girls of talent have waited aeons for: her name in letters of three feet on the White Way, her own pressagent, the best stories and directors — everything money could buy; and still she isn't a star. And the funny part of it is, she doesn't know it. Her press-agent has kidded her so that she actually believes she could make good on her own. Not being particularly hard-hearted, we wouldn't like to see her trj' it. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAT MAGAZINE Is guaranteed.
