Good Manners

L hurried. indistinct introduc-
tion almost always causes embar-
rassment. Names should be pro-
nounced distinctly.

'For the .persons introduced, na-
turalness is the right form.

Brevity and clearness in the in-
troduction and a note of sincerity
on the part of those presented to
one another gives by far the best
effect.

No Club Car for Wome

CHICAGO.—-—The time has not yet
come when womcn smokers have to
be provided with separate club coach—
es when they travel.

They've made no demand for such
accommodation as yet. Such women
smokers as do travel either eschew
their fags when they're on board train
or they go in the rcgula'r club car and .
smoke with the men.

“There's no truth in the report the
Pulmnn Company is planning special
smokers for Women." J. Keeley. editor
of Pullman News. official publication
’of the company. said today.

“The company for 50 years has
made a pructlce or anticipating public
demand. but there has been no de-
mand for women's club cars and there
is not likely to be right away";

J. M. KERRIGAN. CHARA
ACTOR IN .“LITTLE OLD
YORK."

BY JAMES “2 DEAN

They told me that the leaves on the
trees in the mo‘yie production of "th-
tle Old New York" cost $7000. That's
a pretty good yarn, I thought. and so
I went over to the Brooklyn armory,
where scenes of the picturenre being
filmed.

There I saw the biggest interior
motion picture set ever erected. It was
a replica of the Bowling Green of
New York City of a century ago.
There were dozens of trees and each
one was luxuriant in thousands of
artificial leaves“. I believe they ac-
tually cost $7000.

The movie people in the past have
dealt in extravagant terms so much
that film commentators have become
a. class of Doubling ThomaSes. After
Visiting the set of “Little Old ,New
York" I am prepared to state the fol-
lowing facts on my own authority:

Marion Davies has actually out her
hair to boy-length for this picture.
She doesn't wear a wig.

Harrison Ford, Mohlon Hamilton.
Norvul Ix‘ccdwcll and J. M. Kerrigan
have grown natural sideburns for their
roles.

So many people take part in the pic-
ture that costumes of the period had
to be ordered in three cities. New

York. Boston and Philadelphia. In
addition. many were made at the
studio. They were designed by Mrs.

Grctl Thurlow, daughter of
Urban, who designed the sets.
The task of feeding and caring for
this army of actors is us great a! that
of provisioninga battalion of soldiers;
Sidney Oicott. the director, has
three assistant directors helping him.
William Randolph Hearst takes an
active hand in the supervision of film-
ing the picture.

I’ntil I saw Marion Davies in “The
Young Diana" and "\Vhen Knighthood
\Vns a i“l(’l\\‘vr." I did not think that
her ubilitics as an actress warranted
the vast expenditures on her pictures.

her improvement was brought about

Seeing her for
in
"Little Old New York." I come to the
belief that: the improvement is hers
alone, a natural growth of one ambi-
tious and enthusiastic to succeed in a
certain line of endeavor. She played
her role in “Little Old New York"
with but little coaching from the side-
lines. She chose her own line of at-
tack.

by adroit direction.

C

The most interesting figure in “Lit-
tle Old New York" to me is J. M. Ker-
rigan. I do not remember of having
seen him on the Screen. but I have
been fascinated by his character act-
ing on the stage. The fascination lay
in his pantomime. That. it seems to
me. is the "amount requisite for

successful screen acting.
I t I

O O

Rodolph Valentino in his absence
from the screen occupies himself with
a pen. In the February issue of The
Bookman he writes on-“The Motion
Picture Novel."

He considers the precarious posi-
tion of screen favorites saying that
one or two unsuitable roles may end,
the career of a star. He says the only
hope for screen players is a novelist
who can create "characters real
enough and big enough to rise trium-
phant over the onslaught of the con-
tinuity writer. film editor. title man.
director. film cutter. producer. and
one’s own convictions."

“\Ve have worn out the complexities
of situation." Valentino writes. "W’e
are forced. willingly olr not. to delve
into subtleties of characterization.
Naturally no star actor is adverse to
that. He can readily be. persuaded
that his profile holds infinitely more

dramatic possibilities than a battle
scene."
Ruddy said a mouthful. speaking

vulgarly. If writing paid as well as
acting he would have. little to worry
aboutén his prolonged vacation from

 

liven nftcr those pictures I felt that

the screen.
