reckless society woman in "The Cheat."
Her love of gambling results in an

trayed by Sessue Hayakawa, the emi
nent Japanese actor. The girl misap
propriates Ked Cross funds intrusted
to her in a stock-gambling venture,

embarrassed, she turns to the Jap for
assistance. He furnishes the money,
and when she refuses to pay the price
he asks, brands the girl on the shoul
der. A shooting, with dramatic court
expose, brings the gripping story to a
climax,

Screen Gossip.
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.

On the . recommendation of grand
Jurors. Circuit Judge Morrow yester

Taking the position that the award

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.
Get Scott's first, not last and insist
on the genuine always free from al
