BEHIND THE SCREEN By SAMUEL GOLUWYIS (Cnntinuril From Satnnhy.) "The job I chose was with the No sooner had 1 started to work than I discovered Valentino was on the same lot under llolubar. This second contact with the young ' foreigner deepened my confidence that he would 1)0 a great success on the silver sheet, and when ‘The Foul Horsemen' came along I thought of him immediately. "Of course it was obvious that he was the exact type of the young tango-dancer hero of the story. Even after I started work) with him, though, I had no idea how far he'd go—not at the very first. But when we came to rehearsing the tango, "Rudy" did so well that I made up my mind to expand this phase of the story. X did this by means of a sequence in a Universal picture I had made sev eral years liefore. The sequence showed un adventurous youth going Into a Bowery dive and taking the dancer after he had first floored her parti.er. Bones and marrow, I trans posed this action to South America— yet only a few of my wise Universal friends recognized it, "This bit of acting not in the W>k gave Valentino a chance for one of! his siiowiest pieces of work. I re hearsed it very carefully for three days right on the set, and I think the result showed it.” At this point in the director’s story I asked him if he thought, as so many people do, that Valentino Vas a mere flash in the pan. "By no mei*», rejoined ne promptly; ‘‘he's^^rv ambitious and earnest, and If^e doesn't take what the fans say t<» seriously he will live a long time as a picture idol—provid ed, of course, that he is kept In good stories and has a capable director.” Here at this point I can not refrain from quoting the most famous of directors on the subject of the present day idol. In talking to Griffith one day I asked, him what he thought of Valentino. “I declare I don't know,” replied he; “all the time I was looking at hlrn in ‘The Four Horsemen’ I kept ask ing myself, 'Is this fellow really act ing or is he so perfectly the type that he doesn't need to act?’" The existing impression that this famous novel afforded Valentino his first part In pictures is erroneous Not only hal the young Latin worked with Holubar, as Ingram mentioned, but he had been cast with Mae Murray by Bobby Leonard. And, of course, he had rounded out his ex perience as an extra. Had It not been, however, for Rex Ingram and for the materialization of a story so exactly adapted to hia type, Valen tino might still be standing around In the lobby of some Hollywood hotel —one of the thousands of young men and women whose hearts are suf focating with that one cry, “The chance! If only they’d give me the chance!” "Hall, Czar of Hollywood!”—thus some woman addressed Charlie Chaplin not long ago. "Oh, no,” smiled Charlie, "that no longer. Valentino is the present ruler,” And then he went on to say. “I like the fellow, you know. He's got a lot of color and charm. I went around to see him the other day and It just delighted me to see him step ping about on his thick beautiful rugs among his gorgeous hrio-abrac and his incense burners. They seem ed to suit him, you know, and he was s pleased with all his new splendor —just like a child.” There Is Chaplin for you—alwavs delighted with the colorful, the pic torial. the thing which seta his Imagination going. In line with Charlie's approval come the words of another man 1 know, a man well read, cultured, and charming. “Any one who thinks Valentino Is an Illiterate young for eigner with R handsome fare and a talent for dancing Is mistaken”—so protests this witness. ”1 know him well and I atn always Interested in his comments on life and work. You’ve got to remember that ‘Rudy' doesn't Home from the lower classes In Italy. His father was a scientist and his family connections sre with professional people.” “The Four Horsemen carried not only Valentino high Into the ether of popular success. Although Hex Ingram hart made successful pictures liefore this, he had never so thorough lv- demonstrated his rapacity for that difficult union of finely knit narra tive and sweep of vision as did he In Ibanez's masterpiece. To my mind Ihe sklli with which the personal ele ment Is presented against the back ground of great epic disaster places Ingram In the very foremost rank of acreen directors. As for Alice Terry, her role of the wife In the story afforded her the first satisfactory avenue for that exquisite something which differenflatee her. The story of Alice Terry has the same fairy tale quality as Valentino's own. Idks him. she had worked hard ss en extra for many yeera, and the hard work had resulted In little rec ognition. However, discouraging as had been her experience. It was not without results. For Rex Ingram happened to see her In New York when, ns a girl still In her mid teens, she played with Resale Harrlscale In “Not My kittle Slater.'' This promsie which she gave Impressed the voting director almost Immediately. When, Indeed, he moved from New York lo the coast he welcomed the fact that she. too, had shifted from east to west. Had It not been for the war, In fact, Alice Terry would prob ably have been his leading lady some years before. When Ingram on his return from overseas service finally located the Job which put n roof once more over hla head and civilian clothes again upon hla hack, he was to resume hla slight acquaintance with Miss Terry. For she can e to Ills office then and applied for a position as script girl, tho functionary who, working on the set, chalks off the scenes ns they are made and notes Iho new one* extemporized. lie looked at her In amazement. "What." cried he, "you don't mean to say that you've given up acting, do you?" She looked at him somewhat aadlv "Oil. dear, yes," she replied. "1 did that some time ago. It was too dls couraging—I wasn't getting any place, you see. No matter how hard t worked nothing seemed to come of it. A^id of course being an extra or getting some bit now and then doesn’t keep you. Ho I decided I'd Just get a regular job.” "And what have you been doing since?" inquired Ingram. "I’ve been working in tlie cutting room," replied she, "and that was fine —I mean it was fine—knowing just what you were going to get each week. But the ether commenced to get into my lungs and that's why I'm looking around for something else.” Ingram promised to give her the desired position in the picture fol lowing "Shore Acres." However, something changed his plana and instead he cast her for a wild and woolly Drury Lane melodrama called "Hearts Are Trumps.” To his sur prise she seemed loath to accept this chance of returning to the screen. "Oh, no, 1 don’t want to try—I've given it ail up, you see,’ she kept protesting in a way that showed how completely previous discouragements had shattered her self-confidence. But he finally succeeded in over coming her fears, and since then she has been his leading woman in every story except "Trifling Women." It was not, however, until the appear ance of "The Four Horsemen'' that Alice Terry, the girl who, heartsick from her discouragements on the set, had wanted to retire to the compara tive obscurity of script work, won the w'ide recognition which her beauty and her screen personality had so long deserved. Ali this I have just related I heard frgm Miss Terry, now Mrs. Rex Ingram, on the same evening when Ingram told me of his experience with Valentino. On this same oc casion she and her husband men Honed that her next appearance will be in John Russell’s "Passion Vity>." In this her support will be Ramon Navarro, another dancer from whom Ingram predicts a success which may even duplicate that of Valentino. Anent both Valentino and Navarro, Ingram made an interesting observa tion. "A good danrer," said he, “fre quently makes a good screen actor. Why? Rerause lie has both poise and repose, and I don't know any better start than these." In this connection do not forget that Chaplin is one of the most graceful of dancers. Although not a profes sional, he might easily have become so. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. Romantic True Stories of Some Screen Favorite*. Another film triumph won only after a long siege of the citadel la that of Von "Stroheim. Born of an old and distinguished Viennese family, the Baron von Stroheim was in an other day one of those pictorial young officer* who swaggered about the Ring Strn.sse, partook of cafe mel ange* and fancifully whittled cakes at the smart conditioners' on the Graben, sunned themselves where the band* play "The Beautiful Blue Danube" and other Strauss waltze*— in brief, lent themselves to that atmosphere, at once sprightly and sentimental, which made the fascina tion of prewar Vienna. Terhaps he lent himself to it somewhat too thoroughly, for he always smiles when you ask him how he first happened to come to this country. And the smile seem* to hint at *ome .youthful escapade. When he arrived In this country he had no more equipment for mak ing hi* own livelihood than is sug gested by till* background of fjivolity, of leisure, and of rigid caste etiquette. Yet h* was penniless now. Soda fountain attendant and groom In n stable—these two jobs are only a few of the mile stones passed in the wanderings of Von Stroheim from his hereditary environment. He was. In fact, almost starving when Griffith's war pictures presented to him an op portunity. His Austrian uniform, his scars, hi* typical teutonic appearance —all these were utilized in a screen presentation of the hated German officer. After the vogue of the war picture had passed, however. Von Stroheim found himself In n plight almost as had a* that from which these pictures had delivered him. No use to him now was the uniform, the scar*, the typical teutonic appearance! Quite the reverse. For day* he would sit in the depressing anterooms which guard the presence of the grenl: I used to *«e him in tlie Goldwyn .studio* nnd, remembering with ail miration his work in tlie war picture* I wished only that the change lr popular taste had not prohibited my emplovment of him In a character Istle role. „ “I knew all the time that I had something in me which might he valu ahl* to the screen,’* ao he himself told a friend of mine in reference to thl# period, "hut I couldn't get myaelf over. I lacked the American push. X took no for an ansiver far too easily, and so I might still he eittJng around In dingy anteroom* had not something happened to me. X became deeply in fatuated with a girl. But she said to me, ‘No—not Until I see if you can ever make good.' Then for the first time In my life X made up tfiy mind to succeed."

Mac Heady on Friday, February 22, fail ed in his second attempt in two months to set a netv world’s airplane altitude record. His Lepere plane reached an actual altitude of 34,983 feet, it was an nounced several hours after he had descended. It previously had been believed that the record was broken when his instruments showed an indi cated altitude of 41,000 feet. fired by an Idea for the screen. Mad dened by his inability to get an audience for this idea, the erstwhile Viennese aristocrat resolved upon forceful measures. He literally broke into Laemmele’s room in a hotel, and with all the fire of desperation set forth his great ideas. The result was "Foolish Wives." This picture, not able—even notorious—among screen folk for the tremendous costliness oj its production, is also set apart by the fact that Von Stroheim’s activities in it were three fold. He wrote the scenario, he directed it. and he look the leading part. His subsequent work shows the same correlation. (Continued In The Morning Bee.) “Love Doctor” and Movies at Empress The smart musical comedy, "The I.ove Doctor," was presented yester day at the Empress by the Halt on Powell players. The company will be In Omaha for an indefinite period of time. Starting today, there will he two shows instead of Just one ev ery week. A castoff is picked up by a mil lionaire's son by mistake.

"The Whispered Name.” a news paper picture, was screened at the Empress. A group of first class blackmailers are caught trying to bring about a divorce between Van Kreel, the millionaire, and his wife. The event is foiled by a society re porter and the managing editor. ( Adele Garrison N “My Husband’s Love” \_ On I he Way Madge Kxtolled the Beauties i4 Hushing. I defy anyone not a confirmed mis anthrope, with a soul squeezed dry, to drive along the north shore of Long island without feeling the calm and cheerfulness which result from suffusing one s spirit with beauty. A» my sister-in-law’s soul, though a bit circumscribed by the rigid and pecul iar ideas of duty which always had possessed her still was large and ap preciative, she did not prove an ex ception to my rule, hut instead thawed so perceptibly toward the views, with such unusual enthusi asm for her, that I saw her husband glance at her once or twice in sur prise tinged with a pleasure that was a bit pathetic in its revelation of the things the 'big man had missed in their years together. Long ago I had surmised that my husband’s sister had been so busy surrounding her famous husband with every physical comfort and mak ing his home life a padded routine, through which even the traditional roseleaf of the seven mattresses could not penetrate, that she had made her self a sublimated domestic machine. Their life together, while absolutely without jars, was like a smoothly running machine with none o^ the variations from the expected which make life colorful and interesting. She had been perfection, a model housekeeper, a gracious hostess, when he wanted to entertain his friends, a cultured and stately figure whom he was proud to own as his wife when she accompanied him to the gatherings where people delighted to do him honor. “Motorist's Delight.’’ Blit there is no platitude truer than the one about perfection pall ing, especially, I said to myself a bit maliciously, when one is so ab solutely certain of one's own super excellence as is my sister-in law. I amended by phrasing with quick rcntrition. made it "as was my sister in-law," for Harriet Braithwaithe, since she had opened her arms to her dead sister's children, had been a woman transformed. lAte might not l>e so smoothly running for Edwin Braithwaite in the future, but it would be happier and much more In teresting—on that I would have staked much. The car behaved beautifully, and we rolled on, through quaint old Rnslyg, with houses clinging to miniature hills and nestled in valleys and delis like those scooped out by children in play on past the clock tower, known by the motorists from all over the world up the winding hill w-lth the world spread out beneath us, on again, up and down more grueling hills until, finally tfie broad smooth pavement came to an end and the car jolted on to a cobblestoned road with street car tracka dividing it into right and left, narrow path ways. "What is this'’ ’ Edwin asked with quick interest. "This is known as the Motorist’s Delight.” I answered as we traveled up the hill from which the pretty village of Douglestor descends to the shore. ‘'Tou'II realize wfty before we come to the end of it." No one spoke again until we had gingerly descended the rough road way and traveled over the narrow ramshackle bridge the bane of all vehicles along the otherwise wonder ful North Shore highway. Then after we had traversed another stretch of cobble-stoned road and rolled out upon a broad road as smooth as a tennis court, my brother-in-law emitted a disgusted masculine snort. The Neck of a Bottle. "Why la such nonsense permitted’ v ha asked Indignantly. "A wonderful route spoiled by a miserable little stretch like that. Jt must be a mess in the traffic of summer time." ■'it is,” I affirmed emphatically, with the memorjp-of an unfortunate Sunday trip vividly before me. ‘‘On Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays, the motor cars extend from Queensboro bridge back almost to Hoslyn in an unbroken line, two, three and where the road will permit, four abrest. Getting them through here is like pushing them througli the neck of a bottle. But from now on the roads are wonderful and Flushing, which we soon will reach is one of the oldest and most iA turesque sections of I>ong Island. You'd better take a good look at it for it’s in a transition period. It al ways will be beautiful ,but th^ last of the big old farms and country estates are being broken up Into smaller home sites and the coming of the subway meant its final trans formation into the city which'It is already technically a part.” ‘‘What a pity." Harriet said, ns we ran smoothly along the street* first of Bayside and then of Flush ing, ‘‘that the city e\W should touch a place as beautiful as this. Just look at these houses./ Every one has an air of homey seclusio^. each Iqoks as if i( belonged to cultured beauty loving people. Just imagine them transformed into apartment build ings.” I could not help my lips twitch ing into a smile. She had translated my talk of the city invasion literally and visioned the imminent destruo tion of everything homelike in th* beautiful suburb. But I was sav<aj the necessity of explanation. Her husband broke into a ringing laugh. "I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Harriet,” he said . genially. ‘‘I don't believe well see sweat shop tene ments along here in our lifetime.” Warsaw Pave Tribute to Woodrow Wilson Warsaw, Feb. ii.—President Woj ciechowskl, the speakers of both houses, the members of the cabinet and the American legation.
