Louise Fazc'iulii medium thru
which to project before the movie
puhjic a more complete person
ality. Possibly no more Mrikinj? in
stance of thia exists than in the
rase of Louisa Fazenda, who now
is able to give the screen her
laiiKhter, . .
In the silent movie days the
comedienne frequently was seen on
the screen in the throes of merri
ment. Now the sound of th-nt
merriment can bo beard the ef
fervescent, melodiously - tinkling
laughter that Hollywood knows us
an expression of her own unfailing;
exuberant good Bpiriu.
Talkie Yetei-ans.
; i'essl mists who still co m p la i n
that the talkies of today are crude,
might hark b'ack to the first at
tempts made to give movie shad
ows voices. Two &etors who work
ed together in pioneer talking pic
tures 24 years ago have been re
united in the making of a modern
dialogue production on the Para
mount lot, and could give them
first hand information on the sub
ject. Donald Mackenzie and Charles
Oiblyn, then stage players in New
York, earned extra money by ap
pearing in "talking pictures" be
tween legitimate, stage engage
ments. Now they are playing In
"The Insidious Dr. Fu Mancnu,"
and the contrast in methods then
and now inspires reminiscences Jn
both. .
The two recall the small studio
over Daly's theater on Thirtieth
street. New York, in which they
worked somewhat dubiously, be
cause the movies of that day were
not considered 'artistic" for the
old 'Camera phone company. The
talkies then were made without
any attemp t at synchronization,
except through arduous rehearsals.
Picture and dialogue were produc
ed in two separate processes. The
players first made the records,
speaking their lines' into a hue-c
born. Then they rehearsed the
action, over and over, moving their
lips to synchronize with the re
corded words. When this was
achieved as nearly as possible, the
actual movie was made.

PELL'S TRAIL' V
J EYED Laxton speculatively while
Somerfield fired (lueations at liiin.
It he hud heard of Pell before the
tragedy be must have made In
quiries. But Laxton would go no
rurthbr. He never stated theories
till Uir worked.
"Didn't you say yourself," he said
to me, "that until we uuearth Pell's
past we shall never know how or
why Pell was killed?" .
"You see, Cronofen? he's got
.he Idea!" cried 'Somerfield.
"What idea' Laxlou asked.
"Yes," said Pomerfield. "The last
Redslade was so poor tie couldn't
live in it. When lie was at lllnck
water which wasn't often he
lived In Grenofrn't house, ot Wood
cot. Then he sold the whole thing
just before he pegged out."
"Marling Fotherbury Pell."
Lxx ton recited, striding up and
down again. He pulled up in front
of me.
"What'Il you bpt Marllng's not a

now. Marling Kotherbury pell
, . . and one other . . . Three years
ago. ... It suggests nothing to you?
You two have been quite candid?"
His look flitted between us.
"Yes' said Somerfield, "but you
haven't, - You made a mystery of
Pell, but it seems you knew Ml
about Mm. For insUncu, that he'd
been iu prison."
"No," Laxton exclaimed. "I knew
nothing certain. I surmised."
Suddenly I recalled Marling's last
visit to warn me against Laxton.
"Did Marling know you sur
mised?" 1 asked.
"Hq,w can I tell how much he
guessed? It looks as If he may
have double-crossed everybody."
Then 1 told him how Marling had
given mo the information about my
possible arrest. I thought LaxtQU
would have exploded. .

"We worried It out," said I, "that
If Pell was shot through the key
hole he couldn't have been aimed
at."
"Ah," sa!d Laxton, sitting up,
"you saw that?"
"And that if he wasn't .aimed at.
It accounted for the seemingly in
expllcablo fact that the gho3t Pell
was going to produce so proudly
to Scabroke and .Mailing and the
rest shot Pell Mmself."
"Ah!" said Laxton again. "Thai

"Py the man who knocked you
out. at any rate." .
"If Pell accidentally got In the
way of a shot It must have been
meant for somebody else. That the
Idea?" asked Laxton.
"Yes. Somerfield worked out the
positions. A shot fired through the
keyhole could only have lilt Mar
ling." Laxton sat bolt upright with his
hands on the chairarms for a full
minute, looking intently in front of
bin).
"Marling:" he repeated. "That's
a light if you're light we add one
to the people concerned In Poll's
past."
- "But you knew Marling was ac
quainted with Pell's past," said 1.
"Ye-es." Laxton looked specula
tively at me. "I knew Just what
Wayne told me and you told hlra
about Pell denouncing Marling at
the moment of bis death."
"Oh," said I, "there was a little
more than that." And 1 related
what Marling had said about Pell
having been In prison.
The effect on Laxton was ex
traordinary. He jumped to his feet.
"The dam' scoundrel!" he cried.
"Who Pell?" said Somorfii.ld.
"N'o Marling! Don't talk for a
lecoud. Let me think."
Laxton paced the room, looking
from one to the other ot us with
sharp excitement,
"Does anybody know how Mar
ling came to ftlackwater?" he
asked. -
Somerfield said he had hoard '.hat
Folherbury brought him down aa
chaplain when he opened up New
ph i ; and restored the church.
"Was It shut up when Fotherbury

"That settles it!" he cried. "Now
If you two will help, we shall have
Marling like Ibis" he squeezed his
thumb on the back of u chair "and
there'll' be no more mystery about
Pell. Are you on?"
Wo nodded.
"But," said Somerfield, "to clear
everything hp, we ought to tell you
we saw you shadowins Miss Van
denessen across the Square."
"Ah! You two've got sharp eyes.
And no doubt you saw s,he wa?n"l
alone. Did you happen to knew the
man?"
"No," said 1. "He was walking
away from us. We couulu't see his
face."
Laxton's eyes penetrated mo as 1
spoke. j
"Ah well, leave Ihit," said hp.
"Now, so long as you don't com
promise Miss Seabrokc, are you
willing to join up In u real search
for tho murderer or Pell?"
We were.
"Ulght!- Then 1 wash out the
warrant. You're free. 1 want to go
to Ostend tonight, and probably
catch the morning boat to Kngland.
Y6u two carry on where I leave off,
and we'll tear tho whole- thing
open before long. I'll save you the
j trouble of chasing up Miss Van-
denessen. Here's the address where
the Seabrokes lived in Brussels be

a note ot It: Rue Hosier. 39 bis.
"I got moro out ot Mrs. Fairfax

Pell and his associates. There's a
personality behind all this that we
haven't fnund yol. When we gel

I may. We'll see. Is 11 a deal?"
We said It was.
"You want neither to conceal a
