Screamer (Oct 1916 - Jul 1917)

Reel VI THE SCREAMER DON’T WORRY Have you ever come to a point, where you thought the world was against you? Or anything that you undertook turned out wrong? Oh you were buried with worry, so that you felt your heart would break? Or instead the success that you anticipated, proved a complete failure? Or that people that you trusted, prove faithless? Or no matter what you did for others, was not appreciated? Well, when that time comes, be sure and consult Winton, on the Pier at Ocean Park. JULIAN ELTINGE HERE TO DO FILM AT LASKY PLANT Landing in Los Angeles with little ceremony, Julian Eltinge, famous inpersonator of femine roles on the real stage, is here to do a picture or two at the Lasky studio. The big man, who can so well portray the part of a woman on the stage, and who seems to be able to hold the respect of both sexes, to say nothing of winning instant admiration, will start work under the diffusers next week. We may look forward with considerable interest to seeing his first attempt on the screen, for without any doubt it will be a success. The picture will be released on the new schedule of open bookings of the Paramount, which starts, August 5. (Continued from Reel 1) Angeles city council, in considering the application of the Fox studios, of Hollywood, for permission to install large motors at their plant. The motors were essential in the successful conduct of the studio, from which some world-famous pictures have been sent — the studio that has brought and is still bringing stars of first magnitude to Los Angeles. The council denied the motion, although, the request for the motor installation, had the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants and Farmers’ association. All of which would indicate that Los Angeles may be doing the very thing that is to send the great studios into new pastures where the restrictions are not such as will cripple the operation of the plants. The Fox people needed a 350 horsepower motor, whereas the present city ordinance restricts the use of motors above five horsepower in the residence district. The council refused to amend the ordinance to meet the requirements of an institution that brings hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city annually. In this connection it is interesting to note that Thomas H. Ince is negotiating for a sixteen acre site for a proposed new studio at Santa Monica — but according to the papers he says he will not locate at the beach city until the question of annexation to Los Angeles is decided. And if they decide to annex he will not establish a plant there. There must be a reason. Perhaps the treatment accorded the Fox people or some other city ordinance antagonistic to the conduct of a studio, is in the Ince mind. MR. WORTHINGTON SUES FOX FOR CONTRACT BREACH Because the Fox studio requested William Worthington, feature director, to secure his release from the Universal, in order to direct Willard Louis in a series of feature photoplays, and then, according to Mr. Worthington, refused to employ him as promised, he is going to start suit for damages next week, unless settlement is made immediately. Mr. Worthington is a well known director and has been with the Universal for some time, directing plays with big stars for the Bluebird section of the Universal program. For some reason, after he was safely on the Fox lot, the scheme did not work, and the features were abandoned, so Mr. Worthington did not go to work as planned. He desires to recover damages and loss of, salary. VENGEANCE! By Chief Charlie Murray I hereby swear off on all “master of ceremony” stuff from July first on. Hugh Fay is taking anti-fat. I like my cheese standing still. A bootblack covers a lot of footage. A rough neck don’t always have it shaved. Some drinks are more penetrating than others. Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast. So hath the Keystone Comedies power to soothe the critical audience. Charlie Avery, the oldest director on the Keystone lot, is a great collector of curios. He has an inland sunburn — gotten in his potato patch ! There are so many red headed girls on the Keystone lot, that extra precautions have been taken to prevent fire. If I were a tall, handsome leading man with wonderful hair, eyes and teeth, I wouldn’t be writing notes for the Pan column. Tony O’Sullivan, the Keystone lot superintendent, would make a splendid submarine commander. He is always out to see. The actor who once made the remark that an actor was born to the stage, now seems to be perfectly willing to be adopted by the screen. I saw Baldy Belmont at the bathing girl parade Sunday with a green suit, yellow tie, white hat, pink sox, red carnation, blue stripped shirt, and dove colored gloves. All made up for a rainbow. WOT ’ELL Here’s a good one on Jessen. A woman called The Screamer office, yesterday, to know if there was such a paper as the Motion Picture News. Yep, we gave her the phone number, telling her it was a little New York paper. Kriss Glim, of the Garrick theatre, saves his money and invests in silk suits for summer wear. Likewise, Jack Quinn has donned a headpiece made of straw. Some summer showmen! Edith Story, says Corporal Guy Price, has sigrled her name to a contract on Metro stationery. Some star indeed she be. Edna Elliott, who is said to be a picture actress, although she is not shown on our books, was injured in a jitbus accident the other day. |^ome Shirts!
