Kiser Studios Concentrate on Story-Scenic in Which Frigid Old Mount Hood, Its Glaciers and Rocky Summit, s Featured; Premium Players Stage Realistic Bit of Action and Take Location Jaunt. Portland's motipn picture production activities were humming along In true Hpllywood style last week and Indica tions for ,a continuation of intensive work on the part of the two local producing: companies Is creating: a wealth of interest. Fred Kiser and his T company of players concentrated their efforts on completing: the Mount Hood "shots" for "The Crystal Ascension," although President Kiser took time enough off to aid in entertaining Elmer Pearson, general manager of Pathe Exchanges, Inc., who visited In the city and spent some time at the Kiser studio. Premium Productions got well Into production on the second of its series of stories, "The Firebrand," a lumber jack story that will) prove again the remarkable scenic advantages Oregon offers the producer of modern motion pictures. The result of all this1 activity is that the Kiser company has completed its out-of-door work on The Crystal Ascension," which will be centered about Mount Hood and which will feature the majestic glaciers and the rugged summit of the old mountain. The company at once transferred its equipment and energies to the Colum bia River gorge and established a camp near Mitchell's point on the Columbia River .highway. The scenes made from this base of action will be woven into a two reel scenic pic ture one of the 12 story-scentcs the Kiser company is making for distri bution by Pathe Echngea. Star Has Own Notion About Blonde Hairs WHICH Is the best suited to pic-, ture stardom, blondes "or bru nettes? James Kirkwood, leading man and famous as a director, has been asked that question. - And it took a lot of persuasion to elicit an answer. Kirkwood, who plans to return to the stage for a season as, o a as be completes the leading male role of "Ebb Tide," now being made by Lasky, has been a big figure In pictures ever since the pioneer days of films and he should know. . "When pictures first came Into vogue," says Kirkwood, . "brunettes stood the best chance. Directors seemed to think that blondes would not, photo graph. When photography progressed to the point where lightin gplayed a big part in the making of pictures, the brunette learned that nearly every di rector wanted blondes. They liked to use the spotlight on their golden tresses and obtain a beautiful screen effect. "For years blondes had all the best of it. But suddenly they began to drop out a year or so ago. Now the ma jority of the big stars are brunettes. There's Gloria Swanson, Dorothy Phil lips Dorothy Gish. May McAvoy and numerous others. , OXthe blondes who are still big stars "we have Katherine MacDonald and Agnes Ayres and a few others, but most of them are lesser lights. . . s "To me there seems no particular reason to favor one above the other. It just seems to run in cycles, but. ot course, blonde stars fade, more quickly because, they lose their looks earlier." Another of Btady Family Breaks in As Screen Player 4 Another member of the famous Brady family broke into the films recently, although he nearly broke his neck doing it. He is Edward" A. Brady, producer and cousin of Alice Brady, the screen star. Young Brady Is attached to the technical staff of Cosmopolitan Productions, and dur ing the filming of "When Knighthood Was In Flower" he volunteered as one f the knights In the tournament which is held In honor of Princess Mary Tudor Marlon Davles. Attired in steel tilting armor weigh, lng nearly 200 pounds and armed with long, blunt-pointed lances, the gallant knights charged each other at full speed the object of each being to un horse his opponent, Brady was cast for the part of "the fall guy." as he himself expresaed it. and performed a back fall from a galloping horse that started the spectators and won praise from Director' Robert O.

When the Columbia gorge picture has been completed the company will undertake to film an appealing version of the Indian legend concerning One onta gorge, an environment that will lend itself, it is said, as few locations in the nation, due to beautiful and unusual scenic views. The Oneonta picture will be the fourth on Klster's production schedule. Returning to the Premium fcom panys activity," the labor of producing "The Firebrand" wins attention. The Beaverton studio has been the scene of much strenuous work, where, on the huge stage, are three interior sets, including a mill office, which will be worked in with out-of-door shots at Oregon's timber regions, logging camps and sawmills. On Tuesday a genuine thrill was afforded visitors at the studio when the camera recorded a terrific fight between George Larkin, the star of the Premium company, and other members of the cast. Of course the villain, who was Larkin's chief ad versary, was completely routed by the athletic hero and his body was hurled forcibly through a window in the mill office set. The villain took window panes and sash with him in his flight. The fight was punctuated by realis tic gasps from the visitors, who seemed momentarily to be held breathless by the realism of the action. Only when Director William Craft shouted "cut" and the battered actors resumed their natural . attitudes, did the imprompti audience realize they were watehing the making of a picture. Naturally, the combatants were unhurt, aside from the strain of their strenuous exercise. Larkin and the Premium company cast left the studios at 5 o'clock Wed nesday morning on "location." They made scenes Wednesday ana Thursday in a logging camp 60 miles from Port land in Washington. The players were accompanied on the first," long distance location trip by General Manager Frank Ransom .of the East ern & Western Lumber company, at whose camp the shots' were made. The lumberman gave his personal aid to the company in seeing that all scenes taken conformed strictly to the modern ethics of the logging industry. It is expected lhat "The Firebrand" will be completed sometime this week and production on the third picture of the Premium series wili be started at once. President J. J. Fleming de clares. Local Film Will Assist Chest Fund The Community Chest for 1923 is going to have a real movie all its own. a production put on by real picture people, directed by a real director and with titles and captions by profession als. "I have Just learned of Portland's plan for financing its philanthropies," said George Larkin, star of the Prem ium Pictures Productions, who is mak ing several pictures in Portland, "and as I shall be here for several months, perhaps a year, I have offered my services to the chest through Gus A. Metzger, a member of the publicity committee, and he has accepted. William Craft, the director of the company, is also willing to give his services. We will need a few grown ups and quite a lot of children, and these I propose to recruit among Port land people. Some of the most beauti ful homes In thq city and some of the beneficiary institutions will figure in the scenes, which we are now working out. We will begin work on the pic ture soon, and we hope to make it not only valuable as propaganda, but in teresting and entertaining as welL" The Premium company, which has a spacious studio in Beaverton, recently completed the filming of "The Flash." and now the "Firebrand" is being maae. At least two more pictures will be made before the company, which comprises more than 20 members, will be moved. "We are from Los Angeles, and of course we had heard a good deal about your gray days, but we have found Oregon wonderful for pictures. Surely your scenery is marvelous, and we have had fine weather for all of our out-of-door work. It has just so hap pened that on the rainy, days we had previously planned studio work. "I would ratler work in movies than anything else." said Larkin, who is a dancer and legitimate actor of abilitv. "Because the field offers so much greater variety, and then one can see just what mistakes have been made nd correct them. Movie work is an education in Itself. Mrs. Larkin. who is here with her husband, is also a gifted dancer, and the two of them are in great demand for social and benefit affairs in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Lloyd M. Coppen's musical program for the Hippodrome theatre thia week consists of "Raymond." by Thomas, for an overture. He also uses. "Say It While Dancing. and "Smllin -Through."

' . . .. 'it: I By Westbreok Pegler (United Nawia Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Sept. 16. It was a co incidence that Avery Hop wood's newest;, arrangement of "Twin Beds" and repartee should -overtake Broad way in the very week which at last brought into being the play, jury of moral chiropractors, who are to cast the devils jut of the drama by sim ple pressure of thetr fingers on the nerve centers of the producing office. Hopwood's comedy, called' "Why Men Leave Home," exploited a heap of talk and dress, but the devil of it is that the play is regarded as the best example of playwriting so far as the season has gone. You can't take that away from liopwood. He tells a story of three husbands, whose respective wives have been hav ing tool good a time to the utter neg lect of their good and lonely providers. The husbands pretend to be quite sat isfied with this state of affairs with the natural result in - theatrical logic that the '"wives become apprehensive, forego all further itinerary and exert themselves to win back the art ect Ions which had never -. wandered away. There is some disrobing in "Why Men Leave Home" and the crafty Hop wood still contrives to write at least two sides to every pleasantry. The very name of the author is enough to evoke a demand from some sorts of playgoers that a jury be drawn from the new panel of laymen to lend an ear in the official manner. But rather than Indecency, which accusation Was thrown at Hopwood's "Demi Virgin" and made, to stick, the charge ! against "Why Men Leave Home" appears to be merely that of poor taste and vulgarity, which are the handiest working materials in various theatrical workshops. The Winter Garden lis a monument to their - popu larity, i William A. Brady was to have pre sented the other play of the week, a drama called "Dreams for Sale," by Owen Davis -on Monday night, but changes: in the cast made it necessary to postpone the premiere until Wed nesday. It is -laid in the woods of Maine, where a feud is promoted be tween two, families with the drastic oDject, one suspects, oi matrimony u; and between the new generation.

The show is rather dogged as to its rserriment, -but scenery, costumes and Notse Vikings Take to Rails Of Movie Boat DID you ever hear of vikings get ting seasick? History does not record such a mir acle, but Jane Novak has seen the im possible happen. . In Marie Corelli's famous romance of the daughter of a Norwegian vik ing. "Thelma," In which Jane Novak is now starring, several actors of mag nificent bhysique were needed for the roles of the ancient seafarers. A fewj years ago when the star played leading rolew In Western pic tures she came to know and like most of the cowboys. Now that she has become a star she hasn't forgotten her old friends, and whenever one applies for t job: he gets it. but not as a cow puncher, because Miss Novak doesn't make Western pictures. So It was that, several famous bron cho busters became vikings ! But, atas when the voyagers en countered! the heavy seas which eter nally rafe in the channel between Santa Barbara and the island of Santa Crur, the erstwhile . buckaroos dis covered that staying on a wild and wooly broncho was as nothing com pared with riding a bucking viking craft. j - In the teeth of a wind that swept the craft over mountainous waves to wallow in the depths, a prop man shouted Into the ears of Miss .Novak these immortal lines : - "Say--them vikings is seasick!"
