294 Screen Gossip Margaret Green has been chosen from among twenty leading ladies of the stage to play opposite Nat Goodwin in the production he is making for the Mirror Company. She is a Broadway favorite of long standing, having appeared in "Seven Keys to Baldpate," "Broadway Jones," and "Ready Money." There seems to be no end to the serials. One of the latest and best is "The Mysteries of Myra," produced by the International Film Sendee, o f which William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper man, is head. Howard Esterbrook and Jean Sothern are costarring in this serial, which is being directed by the Whartons — Theodore and Leopold. Earle Williams and YVally Van, those famous Vitagraphers, don't give a snap of their fingers for superstition — at least, that is the case if one can judge by the fact that one is starring in and the other producing a new Vitagraph serial in thirteen chapters. Earle ap pears as a hero of the speedways, being a famous motor driver and dare-devil. In fact, the new serial runs the gamut of human emotions, is fraught with a thousand thrills, and, in spite of the fact that much of the production was made during the winter months, it has a bewildering variety of outdoor settings. A notable cast of Vitagraphers appears i n support o f Williams, and Wally, who is the director of the production, declares it is the supreme effort of his career. Joseph K a u f m a n , who has many Lubin productions of note to his credit, besides a n j number of stage successes, is now in the Famous Players fold, and hard at work on an adaptation of E. Phillips Oppenheim's story, "The Great Gamble," in which Pauline Frede r i c k is being starred. Previous to Mr. Kaufman spent Howard Esterbrook in "The Mysteries of Myra." his picture work seven years in association with Charles Frohman, during which time he was stage manager for Maude Adams, William Collier, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Virginia Harned, and Marie Doro.
