theater May 24, are entirely the prod

They, with one other brother, Sam,
and three sisters were the children
of Leopold Levkowitz, a rabbi of
New "York city. All the children
were musically inclined and sang in
the father's synagogue. Eugene was
thr first to make his way to the
stage, becoming a chorus man in "The
Belle of New York." His name was
Isadore and the stage manager of the
attraction rechrlstened him Eugene
Howard. Eugene advanced steadily
until he became a singing comedian
in musical comedy.
At the age of 15 "Willie, the young
est of the brothers, was still In school
when he answered an advertisement
of Harry Von Tllzer calling for boy
sopranos. He was engaged to sing1
the refrains of songs from the audi
ence and received $3 a week. Willie
continued at this sort of singing for
several years in the vaudeville the
aters of New York, generally appear
ing as a water boy In uniform
Finally, when his salary had reached
$5 a week Anna Held gave him a
place In her chorus. That was with
the "Little Duchess" at the Casino.
Willie went on the road with the
now. In Washington he found that
his voice had changed almost over
night. He was sent back to New
York, and not at all discouraged,
went to Huber s museum, in Four
teenth street, where he imitated vari
out stars. A little later Eugene and
hie third brother, Sam, who had aban
doned the fur business for the stage,
formed a vaudeville team known as
"Harry Lee, assisted by the Lee
Brothers," the Harry Lee being Eu

PORTLAND'S STUDIO READY
"TO SHOOT" ON BIGGER SCALE
Fred H. Kiser Has Plant Unusually Well Equipped for Production of
Pictures of Interesting Character.
y . . j
'I.OSK-l P" OF THE RECENTLY COMPLETED AND PINELy
mil II'J'EO STUDIOS OF FRED H. KISER IN THIS CITY.
PRODUCTION plans are nearly
completed at the Kiser studio.
Pronounced activity will soon
prevail at what is now virtually a
new studio plant. Aside from the re
markably fine electrical equipment
that has boon put In, including a
complete generating plant, really as
large as the plants used In the big
studios in Hollywood, a fine layout
of exceptionally attractive dressing
rooms and lounging rooms have been
Installed. Tastefully decorated execu
tive offices and quarters for the di
rectors, writers and cameramen have
feetn provided. No requisite of a
thoroughly modern studio has been
cvcrlooked.
Kiser's plans for the coming season
are very comprehensive. Already Di
rector O'Karrell. recently engaged, is
very active. Two short roel subjects
.re nearly finished. Immediately after
these work on a vastly more extensive
cale will begin. Mr. Kiscr is sur
rounding himself with specialists in
the movie field. In addition to cap
able directors, he has signed contracts
not only with scenario writers, but
with expert continuity writers, title
writers and cutters.
Future plans include the production
of two-reel romances, using the beau
tiful Oregon scenery as a background.
These stories will be the original
work of the specially engaged
scenario writers. Then, following the
approval plan of the big studios, the
scripts prepared by those authors will
be turned over to the continuity
writers, who will put them in com
plete "shooting form."
The continuity writers will not have
and museums and occasionally in
those vaudeville houses which give
six shows a day. Sam left the team
and went Into burlesque, where he Is
now a well-known comedian. His
place wag taken by an actor named
Dunn. The team made a big-time
vaudeville reputation and soon was
booked in the houses as "The Mes
senger Boys Trio." As such they
were popular In the Keith and Or
pheum theaters for four seasons.
They had discarded the name of Lee
and were sub-billed as "Howard,
Dunn and Howard.' When Dunn left
thfm the brothers did not replace him
but became Eugene and Willie How
ard in "The Messenger Boy and the
Thespian." After six or seven years
in vaudeville as Eugene and Willie
Howard they had reached the head
line class.
In 1911, soon after the New York
winter garden had been opened by
the Shuberts, they were featured
there In a" Sunday night concert. The
vaudeville interests regarded the
winter garden as opposition and in
formed the brothers that their book
ings were canceled. The Shuberts at
once made places for them in "The
Whirl of Society," then current at the
garden. Willie's only appearance was
In a minstrel scene, where he suc
ceeded Barney Bernard, who was an
end man; the other end man was Al
Jolson..
The following year the Shuberts
presented the first of the "Passing
Shows," that of 1912, and Willie and
Eugene made their debut as actors,
turning their back to vaudeville.
They have been in "Passing Shows"
since then. The Howards have ap
peared in all except two, and when
those two had their winter garden
premieres the brothers were touring
the country in preceding "Passing
Shows." Their last appearance in
this city was in the "Passing Show
of 1918."
to worry about the snappy, elucidat
ing titles. Mr. Kiser. realizing like
all progressive producers, that title -writing
has become a highly special
ized art in itself, has engaged writers
to work exclusively on titles.
Although no names can be men
tioned at present. It will illustrate the
scope of Mr. Kiser's plans :n saying
that he has signed up directors and
writers formerly under the De Mille
banner.
Admittedly, the public is weary of
elaborate drawing room sets and other
artificially gorgeous interiors. Pic
tures showing beautiful natural scen
ery with a charming romance are
inevitably mak ing t he stronger ap
peal. California producers can get
outdoor stuff naturally, but it all
savors of the same tropical monotony.
Kiser has the edge on a beautiful
scenic kingdom surrounding his'etudio
in the natural beauties of Oregon,
and needless to say that when a script
calls for some attractive locations,
Kisr knows just where to put the
camera for the very f inestvresults.
Magazine Writers to Find
Big Future in Photoplays.
Producers Oetting Away From
Adaptations and Are After New
Ideas la PI ots an d SI taa tions.
THE magazine short story writer
will find a big demand among
motion picture producers for his '
product in the near future.
This is the predict'on of Marshall 1
Xeilan, one of the foremost produ- j
cers, who recently has turned to the j
' screen is after and has been looking
j tor during the past few years is new
' plot situations, novel twists In
; stories, in short, 'something differ
ent.' "Given the basis of his plot, the
producer usually likes to work out
, the story in his own way. and very
! often has a number of situations and
t ideas in his own head that he desires
j to incorporate in his picture. In the
I short story magazines the producer
! finds story materia that has passed
the stern eye of the editor, usually
this material is printed because of its
originality of plot construction, or
because of various novel situations
that are included , in the general
theme.
."As a general rule these short
stories contain a number of situa
tions that make exceptional motion
picture material. This is exactly
what the movie producer seeks. He
will therefore buy up a short story
simply in order to use these situa
tions in conjunction with his own in
the picturization of a plot.
"I personally am depending upon
the short story market to a very
large extent right now. 'Fools First,'
I a Saturday Evening Post story, rft-
cently attracted my attention be
' cause of its unusual theme. This
j story fitted In with a number of
j ideas of my own for this type of plot,
j and I purchased the motion picture
' rights. By combining what the au
thor had to offer with my own ma
terial I prepared a scenario that is
replete with dramatic situations, ar
ranged in perfect continuity."
Joseph Schenck Predicts
Film Prosperity.
Already a Great Shortage of Good
Picture In Sipht for Next Sea
son., Declares Producer.
THIS Is a cheering bit of reading
for screen actors. ' It is the pre
diction of a man who is careful about
his statements, and who speaks with
authority.
Joseph M. Schenck. producer of the
Talmadge and Keaton pictures, is
conservative enough to be also a
bank director. When, therefore, Mr.
Schenck says anything relating to the
films. It commands both respect and
confidence.
And this is what he says that is so
cheering:
By next August we shall see
greater production of photoplays
under way than ever in the history
of the industry. He made it strong
twice as much production, he said.
According to Mr. Schenck, there is
already a great shortage of pictures
in sight for next year's theater de
mand. To meet the needs of the near
future it will be necessary to increase
greatly the volume of output. "To
illustrate the p o i n t," says Mr.
Schenck, "take the requirements of
the first-run theaters in Los Angeles.
How many are there? Say 12. Each
one will need 52 feature pictures dur
ing 1923. "Where are they to get
them? The supply has now dwindled
until there are not more than 400
all toll, good, bad and indifferent,
remaining. The logc of the suitua
tion justifies the prediction I have
made.
"We must not expect," continued
Mr. Schenck, "that the old days of
wildcat picture promotion are going
to return. The Industry could not
escape the deflation that has been
going on any more than other lines
of business. The readjustment and
retrenchment to meet post-war con
ditions are both necessary and
salutary. From now on those who
prosper in making pictures will be
the ones who create worthwhile
photoplays. By that I mean good
subjects, worthily treated gener
ously, handsomely, intelligently. I
am putting this belief into practice.
On my Norma Talmadge picture,
"Smilin' Through," I expended over
$30-0,000 to make it worthy of a
beautiful subject.
"I haven't done this with any fool
ish idea that mere prodigality of
expenditure meant quality or popu
larity. It was done after a careful
study of existing conditions. The
public has stopped the reckless
spending it indulged In during and
right after the war. Exhibitors then,
being able to fill their houses with
mediocre pictures, didn't demand of
us the best the cinema could do."
Stage and screen are now illus
trating the maxim that the pendulum
must swing as mucrt one way as
another. The number of film
celebrities who have recently returned
to the footlights Ben Turpin, Charlie
Murray. Doris Pawn, Robert McKim,
Mrs. Sidney Drew, Mildred Harris,
Betty Roes Clarke, Mary MacLaren.
to mention only a few Is likely to be
increased as time goes on.
One of the reasons for the shift Is
the sharp drop in the salaries paid to
screen actors. In the period of par
tial idleness in the Hollywood studios
during the paat year the bidding for
actors that had previously raised their
"value" to absurd figures ceased.
Actors began to seek employment
-cven some of the most famous in
stead of being sought. The law of
supply and demand began to work In
earnest. Salaries are now down to
stay. There will never be go many
bidders as formerly because produc
tion is In fewer hands and the leaders
in the industry have combined to pre
vent ruinous pay to actors.
The result is that the stage is now
able to bid for favorites on almost
even terms with the studios. This is
bound to mean a greater shift of per
sonalities ad an influx of many new
faces to the screen in the next year
-or two. Another outcome will be that
those who "survive" in either field
will do so more on merit than for
merly Both the stage and the screen there
fore will benefit by the new state of
flux that exists, and the public ought
to see better acting than ever.

Few Chinese In America care for
motion pictures and fewer etill

do get a taste of acting the fever
seems to grip them as strongly as It
does any American flapper, who has
been told she "looks like Norma Tal

she- would go in for the movie life."
Allen Holubar, producer of 'Hur

talent and while in San Francisco
recently saw a smiling Chinese youth
peddling peanuts. Desiring a Chinese
for the cast of "Hurricane's Gal," Hol
ubar offered the part to the peanut
butcher, whose name turned out to
be Fong Fat.
Fong turned the offer down flat as
a pancake and when urged to recon
sider advised the director that Chi
nese are averse to films because so
many times the members of their
race are depicted as villa! ns. bandits
and other malefactors of the law.
When promised he would not be asked
to play such a role he accompanied
Holubar to the Chinese consul, who
advised him it would be all right to
become a movie actor.

Santa Ana strides about on two per
fectly good legs, though his wooden
leg has been as famous in song and
story as that of Peter Stuyvesant.
Five dollars has been awarded to Mrs.
Patterson Miller, Russellville, Tenn."
Williams, always ready to take is
sue with all film critics, says:
"Has it come to a point where pro
ducers must picture historical details
in accordance with popular fallacies
or vith historical exactness?
"General Santa Ana had two good
legs at the time of the fall of the
Alamo. He never lost a leg until two
years after the time of Mr. Griffith's
picture. Mr. Griffith was right. The
lady is wrong and should return the
five dollars to the magazine, the edi

It all happened recently when at a

Dainty Metro luminary remark

THERE is no sense any longer, ac
cording to Viala Dana, in wear
ing the sort of clothes formerly
referred to as "sensible," because
women's dress today almost invari
ably conforms to sanity as well as to
beauty. In fact, says the little Metro
star, girls' clothes are prettier than
ever.
"Some people may say that it's ef
ficiency; getting the maximum of at
tractiveness out of the minimum of
raiment," she remarked recently, at
the Metro studios in Hollywood, to
which she Just returned after a tri
umphant tour of the country during
which she appeared personally at
most of the prominent motion picture
theaters.
"But reduction hasn't been the only
change in the way in which girls
dress. It's true that they don't wear
as much as they used to, but I know
that the things they have given up
are useless frills which added to the
quantity of apparel, but distracted
from the charm of the effect.
"In opposition to the frilly girl,
there used to be the girl who dressed
'sensibly.' There was truth in that
word then, for artificallty and dis
comfort were not so long ago con
comitant with style. But today girls'
things are comfortable a lot more
than men's. I don't speak from hear
