B ALBOA stuaio offers the following dont's for the consideration of the film-struck: Don't think that a pleasant smile, nice teeth, pretty hair, straight legs or ability to dance will get you into the pictures. All comoined might get you in. but if you lacked certain other qualifications they'd get you out. Don't think the movies need you. They don't. Don't think that stars are made over night. Publicity may smear a girl all over the map. but if she stays on the map she must have star stuff in her. Don't expect everybody on the "lot" to fall down and worship you when you make your initial appearance. Many come and many go; only a few etlck, and the newcomer means noth ing in the lives of the old veterans until he or she makes good. Don't gush over the actorlnes and actors. They are only human beings and some of them hardly that. Don't think the movie game a Joy ride. It is a hard road to success just as is every other road to any success worth while. Don't think the movies a G. R. Q. game. It used to be, but it Isn't any more. It requires money. Intelligence and - hard work to win in the picture game. This, of course, refers to the manufacturing end. Don't believe everything you hear about movie people, either bad or good. The best of them are Just con scientious, earnest, industrious folk; the worst of them are not worse than folk In any other business. Don't knock the movies. They are today one of the greatest educational factors in all the world. They have faults, Just like automobiles, sermons and Congressmen. Don't fall In lova with the leading man, he's nearly always married; nor the leading lady, she's thinking of nothing but her art and clothes and salary. Sunset. Frank Keenan makes his farewell. If only a temporary one, to the screen public In "Jim Grimsby's Boy," a mountaineer-mining photoplay of strong characterizations. Keenan, one of the greatest of all present-day char acter actors, furnishes .one powerful portrayal, while Enid Markey, another player who built up a large following In Triangle plays, presents the other. "Jim Grimsby's Boy" is a story of human interest, constructed about a dyspeptic old mountaineer who at tempts to thwart nature and turn his girl Into a boy. His Interpretation of the primitive and brutal male, who calls his girl "Bill," dresses her as a boy, and yet Inconsistently Insists that she shall cook, clean house and serve him as any woman, rings true to the point of arousing deep sympathy for the girl. Engraved upon the girl's nature is the wild and stubborn code of her father she would not betray him In spite of his brutality yet It Is Inter mingled with the longings of her sex for what la beautiful and feminine. In a revolt against her condition, in spired by an old-fashioned magazine and the attentions of a plucky young Sheriff, she gathers courage to such an extent that her father begins to ap preciate the manly side of her, but he Is determined to test the bravery of the "tin" Sheriff, and he does so by the daring expedient of a holdup. Most un expectedly he is caught in his own trap ana saved rrom arrest by poor little Bill, his neglected daughter. He experiences a conversion of sentiment towards her and the consistent con clusion points straight to a life of wider opportunity and greater happl ness for the brav little creature. Aslda from tho draxoatlo value of the picture, some gorgeous scenery Is a great aid to Its attractiveness.

A coincidence In connection with the screen version of "Broadway Jones." George M. Cohan's Initial photoplay. Is the fact that Its director. Joe Kaufman, was formerly associated with the star in his theatrical activities. Mr. Kauf man's success as a director of motion pictures has established him among tha fnrRRinnt nrnHnr.rB nt hlrh.ilaa. screen plays In the country. Prior to his motion-picture work he was affili ated with George M. Cohan in connec tion with various stage successes which resulted In his gaining a more Inti mate knowledge of the famous star's talents than probably any other pres ent screen director. This, together with the fact that Director Kaufman has attained enviable success in han dling the Initial screen efforts of stage favorites. Ideally fits him for the pro duction of "Broadway Jones," present ing George M. Cohan as a motion-picture star. I 4 ' t''. . - :' - J ... ... v- f . ' ..-;' V- -.: v. -Z.- J t. . . Jf f ' - .

Frank Lloyd, who directs the "Wllllair Farnum. subjects for William Fox, has a new assistant camera-man. His name Is William Farnum. Since Christmas day, Mr. Farnum has been haunting the footsteps of Billy Foster, camera-man with the company, learning all the details of which he was Ignorant about motion-picture photography. The reason is that Dustln x araum, win s Drotner, made him a Christmas gift of a cinema camera, and the big actor is now hard in the tolls of his latest hobby. His camera has all the virtues and appliances of the larger studio ma chines, and uses the same sized film. It takes pictures which are Just as good. Mr. Farnum declares, though It is encasea in a morocco case which makes it look more like a Bible than a piece of photographing apparatus. More Studio Preparedness. Director Harry Harvey, of the Bal boa Motion-Picture Studio, has organ ized a machine gun company of 69 officers and men as a home guard and for protection of the border. Mr. Harvey Is the only medal of honor man in the movies, he having been awarded his medal by act of Congress In 1900 for distinguished gallantry In the Philippines. The War Department will give Mr. Harvey two machine guns, ammunition and equipment with the exception of uniforms which tho men will provide themselves. Two air planes and two fast xnotorboats capable of mounting guns have been added to the war equipment of the company. Screen Gossip. Thero Is great rejoicing In Smith's Center. Kan., because that bustling community has been officially recog nized as existing In these United States by the new edition of the Encyclope dia Brltannloa. Smith's Center gets nearly a whole line in this record of knowledge and achievement as the birthplace of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Roland Bottomley began his stage career with Bllen Terry and Sir Henry Irving. Mollie King was a busy girl at the Astra studios, completing work on, "The Mystery of the Double Cross" and also appearing In a flve-reeler. Ruth etonehouse will continue with the Universal Company, having entered into a new contract last week upon her completion of her first year with this producing company. Ehirley Mason, leading star In Mc Clure's novel series of f ive-reelers, "Seven Deadly Sins," has played many leading parts with Edison and was a hit on tour in the leading role of "The Poor Little Rich Girl." ... Leonco Perrett, who has been en gaged by Harry Rapf as director of the Robert Warwick productions for Selznlck-Plctures. has 308 successful French productions to his credit. "The Silent Master" will be his first Ameri can creation. Harry Pollard, who as "Snub" plays with Harold Lloyd In "Lonesome Luke" comedies, has an auto these days and enough money to buy an egg or a po tato or two occasionally, but In 1903 he was stranded in New Zealand and had to sing on the streets until he se cured enough money to pay his fare back to Australia, his home. War has taken away almost a score of Balboa boys and. girls. The Coast Artillery attracted most of the boys, while the girls turned to the Red Cross. One of the girls told the Red Cross that she would do anything from driv ing an ambulance to bearing a stretch , er and that In a pinch she could do the work of a barber. ' Ever since George M. Cohan started his screen production of "Broadway Jones," no one along the Great White Way In New York has proved a more constant motion-picture fan. Mary Pickford is George M.'s favorite star. Perhaps the fact that she gave him his first lessons in the motion-picture art has something to do with it. The Selznlck-Plotures Corporation offers tho list of Its releases for the first six months of Its existence as proof of its sincere determination to maintain a fixed high standard. This list la: "The Common Law," "War Brides." "Tho Foolish Virgin." "Pan thea." "The Argyle Case," "The Price She Paid." "The Eternal Sin." The following are now being created for early release: "The Law of Compensa tion," "The Silent Master," "The Easi est Way," "The Lone Wolf." "Why I Left My Husband."
