mm SEEKING E Ned Sparks Wants Rogue River Place," Suitable for! Fishing Retreat and! ; Country Home Tells, of Modern Movie Progress. It now develops that , Ned A. Sparks, the well known stune vet eran and film comedian, who has been In the city from Hollywood since the middle of last week, came here primarily for the pur pose of purchasing a country homo along the Rogue river and not for fishing alone, and has been busy for days looking over various pros pects, dealing only with the owners. as ho wants nothing to do with re.'tl estate men, he nays. t Mr. Sparks, who came here from New York City, an old theatrical stamping ground of his where he won fame as a successful stafie comedian years ago, will remain here for several days yet accord ing to his present plans, before de parting for New York. Mr. Sparks is enthusiastic about the new talking movie picture "The Devil's Holiday," which comes to the Craterinn theater Wednesdiy for a four days' run, starring Nancy Carroll and In which he takes the leading comedy part, ns he says, 'it Is one of' the better class of moving pictures and that Miss Carroll therefore featured ns a screen comedienne, does the best work of her career in it, this time winning much deserved com mendation in her emotional char acterization. Quiet Gentleman So quietly and tastily dressed, and of quiet demeanor, soft spoken and user of choice diction, and well ' informed ns to the general events of the day Mr. Spnrks would he the. last main a. stranger would take for a theatrical man and; much less one of the h&st of the! legitimate droll comedians of either! screen or stage. His exceptionally j solemn visage, together with his modesty, quiet manner and that earnest, appealing look which has won him so many ardent followers among the moving pictures goers of the dny, throws off one com pletely. There is nothing of the slapstick nbput him either off or on stage of screen -his laughs being gotten over tn tlip audience by legitimate means. Contrary to thot belief of the- stage goers of the past and theater goers" for the past . eight years, basing their belief on his CH E E RY COOLNESS ORANGE PEKOE Keep the thermometer down. Full-flavored . the perfect tea to serve Iced. 1 , "Sit TEA ICED WW 1 ed. thespian appearances, Ned Sparks can smile too, and frequently, as wis shown when he became much interested in his subject, during an interview in the Hotel Medford lobby thin forenoon. Well Informed Yet Mr. Sparks is essentially an amusement man, and ns for many years past Is entirely wrapped up in the stage or screen, but not to the extent that he cannot keep up with the general news of the world. He can talk intelligently on any general news subject pol itics, literature, marbles or what. H has a wealth of interesting remlnejcences and experiences, gathered during his eighteen years on the stage and eight years in J moving pictures. llut he especially love to dilate' on the great advancement that hasi been made in recent years in mov ing pictures deplores the fact that while in general, pictures are be coming better there are still too many mediocre or worse ones. He ha interesting Idea as to the fu ture of the moving pictures. Mr. Sparks declared that making! of talking moving pictures from the actor's end, Is much easier than the making of silent ones, for the reason that the screen player in tr. Ikies knows just whnt "he is shooting at" has a conception of, what his part requires, how it fits into and coordinates with the whole, and enables a player to bring out the best that is In him or her. In the taking of silent pictures the Individual actor gen erally was drilled in his or her part, without knowing the picture, and how his part was to be fitted in. The best companies now hold regular rehearsals of talking plays or stories before they start shoot-! ing them, he says. It was so j with "The Devils' Holiday." which! was rehearsed a "number of times, j .Mr. Spnrkn, who was born In ' Canada, has been u featured1 player in the movies for the past, eight years. He has been a con-1 tract player with the RICO pro- i ducing concern for some time past, has saved his money and has reached the happy stage where he .can take life rather easily, making only six plays a year. He works 25 weeks of the year in moving pictures and has The re mainder of the year to himself. Seeks Country Homo That Is why he desires a coun try home along the Hogue river in Oregon, although he maintains a sportsman's cabin near Quebec. He has plenty of time during the year for recreation and a change of location. Mr, Sparks would .probably be on the ItroHtlway stage yet had it not been for the fact that he was one of the actors who led the first famous strike of the theatrical profession about 10 years ago, in New York, out of which grew the Actors Equity association. In revenge for his leadership in this strike, the metropolitan producers and theater owners put him on the black list, making it difficult for him to make a liv ing at his chosen profession. For this reason he entered moving pic tures good move for' him it proved to be and has been a fea tured player since. RESULTS IN TIE L, r. Wilcox and H.
