284 Screen fourth Clara Kimball Young picture, and will be filmed under the direction of Albert Capellani, the same man who supervised the production of "The Common Law," her first offering, and "The Foolish Virgin," which was the second released by the Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation. Gossip appear opposite Douglas, for she has signed a Fox contract, and is now at work in the Fox Western studios. We hate to look forward to seeing Douglas without her, but cannot but look forward to some mighty enjoyable times the nights the Fox Jewel Carmen productions are on the screen at our favorite theater, eh, what? Norma Talmadge, late Triangle star, but more recently the head of her own company, which is releasing through Selznick Pictures, is now Mrs. Joseph M. Schenck, her husband being the head of the Norma Talmadge Film Corporation and general manager of the Marcus Loew enterprises. The readers of this department will surely unite in congratulating Joseph M. upon acquiring such a bewitching little wife, and the fair Norma upon choosing a husband so wisely. That "King Lear" production of Thanhouser's, concerning which we wrote a paragraph a few weeks ago, is now ready -for release. It stars Frederick Warde, and will be the tenth Thanhouser Gold Rooster play released by Pathe. Every fan who has seen previous Warde releases knows what a splendid production may be expected. Remember "Silas Marner?" That was his triumphant entry into the film game, and he has been scoring equally heavily in his other appearances. Speaking above of Douglas Fairbanks makes one instantly recall Jewel Carmen, his fair-faced little leading woman. Well, Jewel is no longer to George M. Cohan has gone and done it. At last he has plunged into the film game, and, from present indications, he will soon be as famous in screenland as he is now on the speaking and .musical-comedy stages. Times without number Mr. Cohan has been approached by various film magnates with offers to himself to appear in pictures, or, at least, to release his celebrated series of successes for film purposes. But George turned a deaf ear to all these entreaties, and now "George is going to do it" himself. He has already formed the George M. Cohan Film Corporation, and announced that, besides appearing as the star of a number of his old successes, he will devote much of his time to writing new screen plays. The releases of the Cohan plays will be made through the same firm handling the Mary Pickford productions— Artcraft Film Corporation. The first Cohan production will be selected, it is reported, from among the following list of Cohan plays : "Little Johnny Jones," "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway," "The Governor's Son," "The Miracle Man," "The Yankee Prince," "George Washington, Junior," "The Talk of New York," "Hit the Trail Holliday," "The Man Who Owns Broadway," and others.
