He was later given a chance to direct a film for a big company, and the result was "The Jackknife Man," which was hailed by the critics as a little masterpiece. Unfortunately, the picture did not meet with popular approval, and King Vidor was obliged to lay aside his dreams of making the kind of films he wanted to. But he kept at work, doing the best he could under the conditions confronting him, and at last he made "The Big Parade," the story of which is now screen history. Thanks to that picture, King Vidor has emerged as one of the leading directors, a man whose work will be watched in the future, and from whom great things may be expected. Edwin Schallert has been writing a study of him, which will appear in our next issue, and which cannot fail to be of unusual interest to all picture lovers. Helen Klumph is going to tell you, in the next issue, about the amusement life of New York — edition of 1926 — which engages the interest of the stars whenever they have the good fortune to be in the metropolis. It will be like a personally conducted trip through New York's newest night clubs. Milton Sills has been making one of the biggest productions in which he has appeared since "The Sea -Hawk." It is to be an epic of the steel industry, and he recently talked about it to Frances Rule, a new member of Picture-Play's family of writers, who will tell you next month, what he told her about the production. There will be in that issue several other new and interesting features on the varied phases of picture making, and of the lives of picture people. Don't fail to get a copy !
