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

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.

Farnum a Cam era-Man.
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

Left My Husband."

Miss King is ably supported by Leon Bary,
