Herbert Standing, who is called "Daddy" by all the players, was ill recently, in fact, looked too sick to work when seen at his bungalow the other day, but when he was required, left his house and finished making-up in record time and whirled away in an auto to an -outside location. When he arrived he looked fit and , carried through his part with excellent acting. He remarked that it wasn't much to do when hft. had once made a record of playing for 23 years at one theater and only missed ten days in that time. The theater was the Criterion in Lon don. i Hrry Hilliard, who is to appear in "A Modern Thclma" with pretty Vivian Martin, fcoon to be released by the Fox organization. Was a drug clerk before he became a film actor. He is of a mathematical turn of mind and has fig ured out that there is a drug store for every 2000 inhabitants in the United States and that there are three phy sicians for every drug store. Four complete rooms, representing the interior of an ocean steamer, were built in New York and transported to Miami, Florida, where Director John Ince and the Equitable Company, head ed by Frank Sheridan, worked on the big scenes in "The Struggle." The four rooms were built into a drydock and xunk, which was even more realistio than" the real thing. The rooms were lowered and the in tense action within, carried out while the water slowly rose about them. Arthur Ashley and Ethel Grey Terry worked opposite Mr. Sheridan. Safety pins were invented more than .1000 years ago, according to some old investigator, but when Jane Lee. the 6-year-old child actress of the William Fox organization, swallowed one in Ja maica the other day it caused just as much excitement as though it was something entirely new. Charlotte Walker's next Paramount production for the Lasky Company will be under the direction of Frank Reich er in "The Woman and the Law," a thrilling drama from the pen of Hector Turnbull. the author of "The Cheat" and "For the Defense." Richard Johnson, a tramp, found sev eral friends recently in Long Beach, Cal. Johnson was being stoned out of town by a group of irate citizens, who chased the tramp along the railroad track at Seventh and California streets. The crowd was closing in on the poor ly clad unfortunate when three other hoboes "hitting the ties" came upon the scene. Seeing one of their kind in dif ficulty they, did not hesitate to "wade in" on the group of citizens. It was some time and only after some of the "citizens" received severe beat ings at the hands of the real knights of the road that it was explained the stones were only made of cardboard and that Johnson was a character motion-picture actor from the Balboa studio. The tramps who had "butted in" on the setting made up for their intrusion by lending some real "color" to the next scene, which called for a number of Weary Willies. The new Essanay studio in Chicago was completed just in. time to be used in filming two. big scenes in "The Strange Case of Mary Page" in which Henry Walthall and Edna Mayo are starred. A huge restaurant was erected at one end and the other was filled with a Dig theater set. In a later episode Mary Page is shown appearing in a small-town thea ter with a stock company and it was necessary to erect almost an entire the ater, lacking only the box office and the press agent, in order to show this episode in Mary Page's life. Producers are rapidly doing away with canvas and trappings to depict in teriors of homes, public buildings and the like. At the Majestic-Reliance studios, where D. W. Griffith is staging a spec tacle said to be even greater than "The Birth of a Nation." a city representing ancient Babylon has been constructed of solid materials, etxending more than ISO feet in the air. while at the cornices massive decorations adorn the huge buildings. These structures will be sac rificed to the flames in the final mak ing of the picture. At Culver City, Thomas H. Iince con structed an exact replica of the New York Stock Exchange. An architect who had made a study of the buildings in New York supervised, the construction. PAROLE IS ALMOST WON Cow Thief's Record Discovered Be fore Kelease Is Signed.

Commissioner Baker isEULriHST-NOTLAST When "S. cold grips your system it is convincing proof that your condition is weakened remember that It is risky indeed to simply trust your strength to throw k off, because neglected colds have brought more serious sickness than any other one thing, while weak ening cathartics and stimulatingsyrups are often depressing and dangerous. The one best treatment for any cold the one so often relied on when others fail, is the powerful blood-nourishment in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the very sources of bodily strength to sup press the present cold and generate strength to thwart further sickness.
