T3LTJB MOUSR Movie styles must
JL be changed Just the- same as the j
fashion in clothes. Sheik plots, stories
of the great outdoors and films de
picting a burdened old mother have
about run their course for a time at
least. And now comes, the vampire
back Into her own. Jirtt the same as
mother will return when the cycle
goes arouna. .
The screen vampire has been under
cover for the past five years.' William '
Fox discovered her, and William Fox I
put her back on the shelf. No Ameri- I
can producer or actress has been brave 1
enoug-h during that period to venture
forth in a film that touched upon the
seduction of the male by the female.
But the bars are down now.
The cry for something different on
the silver sheet is responsible for Wil
liam Fox turning back to the good or
the bad. as you choose old days. "A
Fool There Was" was the first film
that identified the vampire as an es
tablished figure on the screen. Wil
liam Fox has made a revised edition
of it with an all-star cast. It is the
attraction at the Blue Mouse theatre
this week and is expected to bring the
vampire leading woman back to her
pedestal once more.
Estelle Taylor, a beautiful brunette,
with wonderful eyes and a mass of
black hair, is the lady who will do the
luring. A comparatively newcomer to
the screen. Miss Taylor has shown

role.
CIRCLE Harold Lloyd says that it
took four months to dope out the
ending of "Grandma's Iioy" that final
laugh that made its first audience,
when it was previewed in Long Beach,
Cal., laugh so har'i that it held up the
next act for 10 minutes. The hardest
part of a- comedy, contends Lloyd and
his producer, Hal Koach, Is the "gag"
for the final faleout. The picture is
showing at the Circle theatre today,
Monday and Tuesday.
"Grandma's By is hailed as. Harold
IJoyd's most' pretentious comedy in a
lineup of laugh-producing photoplays
that have not had one mark against
them. Lloyd's newest comedy is
always a step forward, and "Grand
ma's Boy" is a mighty big stride
ahead.
It is in five reels and its laughs,
thrills and suspense are built around
a theme as serious as the psychology
of fear., Lloyd is seen as the bashful
small town boy, afraid of his own
shadow. When his little oldfashioned
grandmother comes to his rescue with
her great wisdom and teaches him tlje
meaning of eelf-c jnfidence, "he makes
the sleepy little town of Blossom Bend
and the Girl in particular sit up
and take notice '.hat the worm has
turned !
"Grandma's Boy" is from the story
by Producer Hal Roach, and Sam Tay
lor and Jean Havez. Fred JCewmeyer
directed and the cast includes pretty
Mildred Davis. Anna Townsend,- Dick
Sutherland, Charles Stevenson and
Noah Toung.

interest in the work of the director
make him a valuable assistant
Captain Contl's war record Is inter
esting. He was graduated as a cadet
in 1910 and was commissioned a sec
ond lieutenant in the machine gun
squadron of the fifth regiment of Hus
sars. At the outbreak of .the war he
was assigned as a machine gun officer
to the second cavalry division and was
captured by the Russians in 1916. On
Christmas day, 191T. he escaped from
a Russian prison camp and made his
way "to Petrograd. There he was re
captured and identified as an Aus-
1 j trjan" officer. His freedom depended
Lr6pon his fitness for- active military
service.' Half an hour before his physi-
ffcal examination he tossed off a pint
of cognac and smoked 20 potent Rus
sian cigarettes. The army surgeons
found his heart-io be pounding awav
at 120 to the minute, half of which he
attributes to the brandy and cigarettes
and the other to natural anxiety. Ho
was released and returned to Vienna
where he was uourtmartialed for hav
ing been made a prisoner. He was
exonerated and g,iven an honorable dis
charge. Arriving to New Tork in September,

Rupert Hughes
Is Sponsor of
'One Man Film
ONT3 of the most interesting fignres
in the motion picture w-orld is Ru
pert Hughes. He has proved that the
"one man" picture not only ia a pos
sibility but Is a distinct and outstand
ing success. He also has shown that
the public doesn't have to be titivated
by vampires., or ogled with eternal
triangles toTput the seal of approval
on a screen drain a.
When Hughes first went to the
Goldwyn studio on the west coast
and began -a practical first hand study
of the screen it generally was taken
way of other authors wh a have madei
the same eaperiment. Then came
ward that whe was writing his own
continuities, .fer the working script
from wieh-th pictures are phato-graphed-Then
he assisted in direc
tion and wrote his own titles. Now.:
in lus lateatvpictures, including "Re
membrance, . a Goldwyn production,
he is responsible for the entire pro
duction the original story, tho con
tinulty, the direction, the cutting and
the titling. x
As in his "The Old Nest," Hughes
in "Remembrance" has translated a
typical American family problem to
the screen. In the first picture he
buiided on mother love. The father
is the central "-and appealing figure
in his later effort.
There ia no doubt that whatever else
may bo . said, a picture by Rupert
Hughes is always distinctly and em
phatically Hughes. It bear's the im
print of his individuality as plainly
as do his novels and short stories. In
this respect, if no other, it might be
safe to say that "Hughes is . unique.
There is no one like him in motion
pictures.
A deal of criticism has been printed
to the effect that motion pictures suf
fer from "eouncll" manufacture. Too
many figures spoil the pie. Is the
contention. No such criticism can be
made of any motion picture that bears
Hughes' name.
Authors frequently complain because
directors change situations in the
story. Since Hughes has been direct
ing the scenes from his stories he
has found that frequently he has to al
ter his own work. He was telling
about this situation the other day.
"It is not unusual," said he, "for
me to say to myself, 'I wonder if
Author Hughes would get very mad
if I should change this around. Well,
I'll make the change anyhow and ex
plain it to him afterward. Hevbaen't
any right to ; complain If I better the
situation.' "
At other times pirector . Hughes
found liimself a,t loggerheads with
Author Hughes for writing in camera
angles that couldn't possibly be
worked out, and for failing to foresee
various mechanical obstacles that the
director discovered Immediately.
As the one author who has worked
at motion pictures until he can and
does make his own jjhotodramas his
own way, Hughes has ' had many ob
stacles to oVercome, and many disap
pointments nad setbacks. He has la
bored iiarder than most human beings
who are trying to attain success, al
though he already had achieved a
most unusual success in the profession
of letters.
Pet Spider Quits
Cold Wlien Movies
Want Him to Work
By A. J. Loreni
Cnirereal berries Stiff Correspondent.
Chicago, Sept. 16 Spiders, like ants,
are pointed out as shining examples
of Industry, but they refuse to work
for the movies.
Night after night, Miss Lucille Berg,
naturalist for the Society of Visual
Kducatioa, has been watching "Miran
da," her pet spider, in the hope of
obtaining, moving picture record of
her Industrious spinning.
But, always, Miranda, balks as soon
as the powerful electric bulbs are
turned , on her and Hiss Berg starts
turning the camera crank.
"She gets stage fright." Miss Berg
explained, "but I'm getting out of pa
tience with 'Miranda.'

J sionally as Marilynn Miller, star in thr musical show,

Pickford will reenter the cast of the show while Jack returns

made up my mind to get it, with Mi
randa's aid."
Miranda la & big, fat, yellow and
black spider with a private dressing
room and studio. A wire screen cov
ering her web, which she began spin
ning along a picturesque old brick
wall, keeps her captive. The stage has
beenelaboraiejy set with several large
vines and a tiny cemented pool to add
realism to the picture. A moving pic
ture camera Is kept in focus waiting
for Miranda to consent to pose.
Miss Berg treats Miranda very kind
ly, feeding her grasshoppers and other
spider delicacies. Several times the
naturalist has left the "studio" within
the last few days, and immediately,
it seems, Miranda went to work re
pairing the broken web.
"Science says they weave their webs
at night," Miss Berg said, "and espe
cially before midnight. I have stood
beeide the camera for hours at a time,
as late as 1 o'clock in the morning,
waiting for Miranda to begin her op
erations. But within" the past week
she has done nothing but sit in the
middle of her half-fintshed web and
stare at me with all of her eyes."
Miss Berg has collected an entire
"bug menagerie," which she is filming
for educational purposes at her garden
in Evanston.

Hookin' em Up
Not Such Huge
Job After All
MAKING the component parts of
the intricate; whole of ": women's
gowns a studyi Karyl Norman has ar
rived at the Interesting conclusion that
to much fuss made about "hooking
em up the baols.
"There's no jnecesslty, says KaryU
"for Friend Husband to struggle and
fuss as "he endeavors to fasten the
hooks and insure their staying fastened.
All such effort, he declared, should be
directed toward more useful channels
because, forsooth the - problem of
fastenings has Ibeen solved, lie admits
that It is his qwn solution."
Use three, or four . large snappers,,
says Norman, land the thing is done.
Make' them large enough so that you
can find them when In a hurry, strong
enough to stiy f astened--and there
you are. The most elaborate gown can
be hooked in a jiffy.'. Its the way he
had all of his : $20,000 worth of gowns
made. - j
Norman. "The Creole Fashion 'Plate,"
who la demonstrating the fine art of
costumes, singing and impersonating
the. . feminine graces with guile and
sophistication at the Orpheum this
week, has no use for the beautiful
gowns the minute he escapes from
them. He divests himself of the gorge
ous trappings i which are so fetching
and so costly and forgets them until
the next -performance. - . -
As for selecting a gown for himself
well, It Is a subject on which, he Is
Ignorant, he ays. He admits his
mother designs his costumes that 'tis
she who superintends their making and
who bosses the modiste. ; He appears
for on fitting and of course passes
eri the suggested designs, but for the
rest of Jt keeps, out of the matter al
together until it bfoomrs necessary to
get into the garments, when he again
calls loudly for mother, who manipu
lates the three large fasteners.
Karyl Is just back from Paris and
one might Imagine he brought his array
ot oeauuiui raiment with him but
'-' f'i,-;. b' -was, nis motner, u
omnipresent wonder, who saw the best
-that Parts had to offer and then came
home and drew her own designs, select

shades and graceful lines in costumes.
But his Interest in women's clothing la
just rlke the grease paint, a part of the
life of the stage and .once out of the
theatre forgotten, he says. He says he
wears petticoats only 'because the pub
lic likes him .in them,- .but when he
hitches on his galluses he forgets his
profession and will not5 talk about it
save to point out the merits of simple
fastenings as the savior of mankind.
