Hello, Christmas!
Happy old season! Good old Yuletide! Bells! Music! Mirth! Cheer! Three Cheers, Merry Christmas!
Strange how we’re all kids at Christmas! The world becomes a playground! Everything is a toy, and
the hearts of the whole big family of humanity are inhabited by the joys and hopes of childhood!—the only second childhood that’s worth while!
And Santa Claus! that of the lisping tot! stocking!
But THE FAMOUS PLAYERS FILM COMPANY believes that Santa Claus is enterprising, even though he’s fat and happy. The latest wonder of the world is the motion picture. And doesn’t Santa Claus fill-em? The FAMOUS PLAYERS’ Christmas present to the public reaches far into the future! We’re going to try to make Santa Claus settle down and stay with us for quite a while. All through 1 1913 we're going to fill theatres instead of stockings, and this is what we’re going to film with. The following are only a few of the achievements we’re planning, to make 1913 a FAMOUS year: SARAH BERNHARDT in her latest and greatest triumph “Queen Elizabeth” JAMES O’NEILL as Dantes in his most famous play “Monte Cristo” JAMES K. HACKETT in his original role in the “Prisoner of Zenda,” Daniel t Frohman’s greatest success. (Released in January) MINNIE MADDERN FISKE in selections from her repertoire. — Several of her greatest and most memorable creations. VIOLA ALLEN in several of the greatest characters in her dramatic success. MRS. LESLIE CARTER in one of her noted dramatic impersonations. HENRY E. DIXEY ina special dramatic version of Shakespeare’s “Seven A.es” arranged on an elaborate and sumptuous scale.
WEBER & FIELDS in La ew comedy entitled “A Trip Around the or LILLIAN LANGTRY in one of her dramatic plays.
WILLIAM FAVERSHAM and \in “Julius Caesar,’’ Mr. Pavecsenite recent JULIE OPP ) and most lauded triumph. THE CLANSMAN, Thos. B. Dixon’s greatest success.
And to be announced later, other famous stars now being arranged with, whose names have lent dignity
and distinction to the contemporary stage, and whose artistic genius will thus be immortalized for the great benefit of posterity.
Why, we wise grown-ups are really the guys who put “stock” in the Christmas
