STERLING CAMERA CO. 146 W. 46th St., New York City, N. T. Bryant 806* REAL THRILL IN KEYSTONE FILM Keystone had a near-tragedy, in the making of the three-reel special, "Baffles, the Gentleman Burglar." The Keystone police force were pursuing Baffles over the roofs of ten and twelvestory buildings. One of the cops, just as he was about to shoot, slipped on the edge of the roof, and for a moment it seemed certain he would go over. Regaining his foothold, however, he scrambled back to safety, much to the relief of onlookers. The camera was kept going through it all and a thrill, not planned by the director, which was quite the genuine article was secured. BELLE ADAIR WITH ECLAIR Personal magnetism is the best asset for successful work before the camera, and if one is to gauge her future progress by this quality, Belle Adair, new leading woman of the Eclair Film Company, will soon occupy a place in the heart of the photoplay public second to none. Miss Adair for years headlined bills on the big time vaudeville circuits throughout the United States. She played a prominent part with Julian Eltinge in "The Fascinating Widow'' and has "trouped" with many companies. Miss Adair is a New Yorker, educated in Pennsylvania and confesses to twentythree years. She is a brilliant conversationalist, can ride, swim, box and run like a man, and drives her own car. OVATION FOR HELEN GARDNER Helen Gardner, accompanied by her director, Charles Gaskill, and a number of her picture players, on December 19 made a special trip from her studio at Tappan-on-the-Hudson to New York as the guests of Manager Rothaphel, of the Regent Theatre. At the conclusion of the third reel of "A Daughter of Pan," produced by Miss Gardner and company for Warner's Features, Inc., the audience with one accord applauded until Miss Gardner arose and asknowledged their appreciation of her work as a star of the silent drama. Miss Gardner has just completed a powerful three-part drama of Russian life entitled "Olga Treskoff" — a story of the living death in Siberia. In this she has a splendid opportunity for displaying her emotional acting. This feature production will also be released by Warner's Features, Inc.

Inc. 5 West 14th Street, New York I JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE tells you when you want to SEE yourself you use a Mirror. Because you SEE yourself better with a Mirror than any other means in the world. Now the same thing applies when you want to SEE motion pictures, use a MIRROR SCREEN because you SEE the pictures so much plainer, better and clearer on a Mirror Screen than on any other surface under the sun. Besides, it tickles your patrons and makes picture fans. It's a fact. The difference between a motion picture on a MIRROR SCREEN and any other screen of any other kind is the same comparison between seeing your own reflection in a fine French plate glass mirror and in a mud puddle. The 'MIRROR SCREEN' is a Mirror. A magnificent mirror made from the finest polished plate glass that the world can produce.
