Film Fables Are Explained Animated Sereen Stars Per* form After Few Pen Strokes. Aesop’s Film Fables, which are so popular with Orpheurn theater pa trons, are the work of Paul Terry. New York cartoonist, and his stafT of IS artists. They are the people who make the little pen pictures of the animals move in the movies. Tills fs how Terry and his staff at the Fables Pictures, Inc., studio pro duce their weekly animated cartoon release. With the central theme of the story in mind. Terry decides upon main characters which will best inter pret the story. These screen stars are brought into being hy a few skil ful strokes of the pen. As the action requires, minor characters are cre ated. With his characters decided upon and his story theme well in hand,. Terry then develops a scenario In de tail or continuity. “Backgrounds" are drawn next. These pictures take the place of interior and exterior set tings used in regular motion pictures. As the backgrounds are to be used to back up many scenes they are devei o'pened in detail. Animation takes place after the backgrounds are ready. The mys terious \tse of the word “animation” refers to the work of penning hun dreds of little drawings, which will give the life-like effect of action when shown in rapid progression on the screen. Each animator is as signed srenes requiring the type of characters which lends themselves best to his talents. Working drawings are made upon translucent tissue pnper. Thus the animator can see vaguely the lines of ths preceding drawing as he places a new tissue over a completed sketch. On the new tissue he creates just those portions of the character's body whieh must ‘‘move.’; So, each time a body member is drawn it is tn a slightly different position. This sys tem reduces the work to a minimum. Efficiency has developed a way to avoid the need of making a com pletely detailed drawing to register •very move. Thp tracers use the drawings on tissue paper‘ns blueprints. Each tis sue sketch is traced or transferred to a sheet of clear celluloid of corre sponding size. The outlined sketches are then "colored,” or filled in. That is, the shading and other de tails are executed. Water colors— black and white—are used so that they may he used indefinitely. All the sheets of paper and celluloid are punched and placed upon pegs, like loose-leaf ledger sheets. Thereby they are kept within register of proper relative alignment. The complete drawings are inspected and num bered hy the supervisor, who notates upon an "exposure sheet” the num ber of frames or photographic ex posures necessary to register the de sired action. It Is the rapid flashing of the successive drawings that pro duce the animated Illusion on the scseen. Following the completion of the ac tual cartooning, or animating, the — drawings are handed to the camera ' nu n. The crank turned of the aver age film studio turns during the whole producing of a picture. But the camera man of "Aesop’s Film Fables" does his work after produc tion work is over. He inspects the drawings a nil. follows the exposure si t instructions. i r 2.100 drawings enter Into the p on of each subject on the1 MA . Is Fi'm Fables” series. Some th a this, number is exceeded by an- ?r thousand. Terry’s simplified system does away with the old methods of nnima- : tion whereby some 20,000 detailed drawings were required to make a j fllhi subject. Following the photo graphic stage, cartoon movie making Is practically the same as regular feature filming. The negative is de veloped, the prints are made, titles ( sre painted and inserted and after due editing and assembling the pro duction is ready for screening in the j theaters.

George Haupt, organist at the Rialto theater, is one of those "natural born” musicians one reads about. Never in all bis childhood did he fondly hope to he a street car con ductor or the engineer of No. 9. Ho wanted to make music, but not on a steam whistle or a fare box. When he wnj 12, at the ag| when most hoys are laying in arms anil ammunition for a crusade to reclaim the wild west for the paleface, he used to dream of playing the $35,000 organ in the Carnegie institute in Pittsburgh. That was his idea of heaven. George’s parents never planned to make a lawyer or a doctor or a real estate salesman out of him. It would have been useless. The only ques tion was whether he would become r. violinist or a singer or an organist. Now Leading Organist. As it turned out, he Is one of the finest organists in the middle west, as well as an unusually good singer. He was born 29 years ago in St. Taul, Minn., and his father, who was pastor of a small church there, gave him lessons on the violin as soon as he was able to hold the instrument. When he was a few years oldcr George began to pirk out tunes on the small church organ so that he could help his father with his work. Then his father moved to Pittsburgh, when George was 12. It was here that he made up his mind to become an organist. He de termined this after hearing Charles Heinroth play the organ at Carnegie institute. From then on there was only one thing he wanted to do: to play the organ as well as Heinroth. First Organist Position. But about that time hlg father moved back to Minneapolis, and George, naturally, went along. For a time he studied singing and took a few lessons on the organ. Then his singing teacher, who was musical director at the First Baptist church, obtained for him the position of or ganist at the church. It was his first position as organist. After spending a short time at Thiel college in Greenville, Pa., Haupt re turned to the University of Minnesota to complete his education. Then his eyes failed him, and for three years he was unable to continue with his musical studies. This set-back did not cause him to lose his ambition to become an or ganist, however, and when his eyes improved he at once obtained his first theater position, playing the organ at the Loting theater in Minneapolis,, That was in 1920. After less than a year there he made such a reputation that he was offered the position of organist at the Strand theater in Omaha. Later he was made assistant organist at the Rialto, and w hen. Julius Johnson left he was made first organist. Haupt's tastes In music are varied. His favorite music is operatic or emo tional music, but he also gets a big ■'kick” out of jazz tunes, and he plays them with foot-tickling syncopation In addition to his work at the the ater, Haupt finds time to teach or gan and voice, and to write many of the poems which are flashed on the screen to accompany his organ solos. Most or these are syndicate material, hut many are written by Mr. Haupt in collaboration with Harry M. Watts, manager of the theater. At one time, when his eyes had failed, he planned to be a novelist, and for a time was a reporter on the university news pa per.

Does that sound like a canard? It isn’t meant to. The point is. Hughes started out with the ambition of fol lowing a career upon the stage. That was back in the days when as a mere youngster he played on the high school team of Biabee, Aria., the town of his birth. Occasionally Bisbee would get a dramatic company. Always among the audience was Lloyd Hughes, list ening with rapt attention to the actors reading their lines. The story of the play was of less Interest to him than the actors in it. He pic tured himself some day strutting a stage, such as the one he gazed upon, perhaps, who knew, the star of the play. His heroes in those days were Robert Mantell and other leading lights of the spoken drama. RIALTO-STYLE SHOW FEB. 28 Mr. Watts, manager of the Rialto theater, announces that their annual spring style show in conjunction with the Herzberg company will be held the week of February 2*. Elborate preparations are being made to make It the best that they have ever presented.

Mar tin's living models. Watts made a special trip to Chi cago last week to engage talent for the entertainment features of the show. A special musical score has also been arranged In Chicago by a prominent composer. “New Toys” Family Picture: Is Comedy Richard Barthelmess' new comedy, "New Toys,” coming fo the Rialto for a week, starting Saturday, Is dis tinctly a family picture. It is a domestic comedy, relating the tribula tions and tragedies of the first two or three years of married life. The action revolves around a young mar ried couple. Dick and his wife, known to the stage and screen as Mary Hay, play the roles of the young husband and even younger _w!fe. The production of "New Toys," was directed for First National by John 8. Robertson, whose wife, Josephine Lovett, wrote the adaptation. Thus, "New Toys,” Is a family pic ture in every sense of the word. Because of his sleek hair, serious eye and fearlessness, the fans are calling Rln-Tln-Tin the Valentino of the dog film actors. A canine shiek is a new idea In movie-land. ;-s -N Four Foot, Eiftht, Full of Fun and Randy to Spill It V. J After seeing Mitzi, the rollicking lit tle star of "The Magic Ring" in one of her musical comedies, Sir James Mathew Rarrle, the noted English novelist and playwright, exclaimed: "Mitzi is the Peter Pan of the musical stage!" And thla describes this little lady’s personality more than any other phrase that could be coined. Mitzi is ji^t that—an elfin little sprite whose j sense of humor bubbles over every minute she is on or off the stage. No one knows what Mitzi is going to do next, but whatever she does, you can rest assured that it will be a laugh or added enjoyment to her audituce. This winsome little comedienne is Just four feet, eight inches in height, and her weight is but 110 pounds. Yet crowded into this tiny body is more fun, good looks and animation than is rarely found in much larger hu mans. “I guess T was just born to make people laugh," says Mitzi. "When J was a mere kiddie, I used to gather together my playmates and clown for them. Nothing pleased me more than to hear an outburst of hilarity on their part over some childish antic of mine. As I grew up this desire on my part increased. Finally it took a turn toward mimicracy. My first stage appearance was in the role of a mimic. And it nearly resulted in disaster. My father was a prominent politician in Budapest, Hungary, and the night I was allowed to give my SPECIAL 2,000 Player Piano Rolls I 5 FOR si Samples, Demonstrators, Used A.

"My portion of tlie entertainment received so many encores that finally I ran out of grand opera stars and actors and then turned my powers of rnimlcracy to my father's ixilltieal friends and opponents. It resulted in a political upheaval, many claiming that he had coached me to make fun uf them. As a result of this my stage aspirations were nipped In tiie bud and 1 was hustled off to a convent." Kathleen Myers, leading lady in ['hristie comedies, has stepped out and carved a niche for herself in fea ture productions as well as acting in comedies.
