Film Flashes
It you feel all "fagged-out" and don't
care whother school keeps or not, take
fjve minutes off and go and see C. W.
Taylor, local manager of the General Film
company. We'll gamble with you that you
will feel a lot different. TJie reason is that
he Is so full of "pep" that you can't talk
to him without feeling the same way. For
one thing he is all smiles on account of
his new office at 1508 Howard street. He
was forced to move, owing to the increased
business which he Is enjoying, and to
further facilitate a number of new plans
brought to light during a recent visit to
the head office at Chicago.
In addition to the one, two and three
reel subjects that have been released In
the past, there will be the biggest of fea
tures comprising as many as twelve reels.
The first of these auper-features has been
announced and It will be Rex Beach'i
widely read and much discussed story,
"The Barrier," Mr. Taylor says that this
Is Just a beginner of the things which will
bo released. Another Important announce
ment Is that the General Film company
has been chosen to release the official
French government -made pictures of the
European war. They are the only pictures
permitted to be taken on the battle fronts.
They are uncensored, and it ts claimed that
many camera men lost their lives In the
taking of them. One thing of special in
terest is a big cannon called "The Mother."
which shoots twelve miles, and costs the
French government SHOO for each shot fired.
These war pictures will be released In two
reel lengths for sven wctka. and the en
tire gross profits of the rental for them will
be given to deserving war relief funds. Wil
liam K. Vanderbilt and the Morgan inter
ests are behind these pictures, and thrlr
authentlcness is vouched for by them.
t Is rumored that DouRlas Fairbanks, re
cently employed by the Fine Arts-Triangle
company, has been signed lor a years con
tract by the Arters ft Film corporation.
This, aceordlnn to sources whose reliability
is said to be above question. This Company
Is now releasing pictures In which Mary
Plckford and George M. Cohen are starred.
It ia reported that Fairbanks will receive
only ItS.Oflft (yes. you read It right), per
week-for his sorvlees. If this Is true hts
salary for the year would only be 1780,000.
He should worry over the H. C. of L.

"Jerry" McNairn figures in a "qua-.
drangle" of love and intrigue. The
four characters in the "quadrangle",
arc: A man without a soul; an ad
venturess, a young man whose fortune
and happiness are the spoils sought
for, and a witty, clever little immi
grant girl, "Jerry," who battles with
great odds, and wins out in the finish
in a manner that is startling.
"Jerry," as the little immigrant,
transplanted to a great American city,
is confronted with problems which
she solves by simplicity and truthful
ness. Always alert and keen about
protecting the man she loves, littte
"Jerry" in "A Wife by Proxy" wins
sympathy, admiration, stirs the heart.
The scheming of the adventuress is
well planned, and her purpose and
that of her partner in crime, while evi.
dent to the audience, is not known
by "Jerry" and young Burbank until
it has advanced to a degree that
makes "Jerry's" task to thwart it al
most a hopeless one.
But with dogged determination and
ready wit "Jerry" bravely makes tie
sacrifice that is demanded of her, and
the scheming of the adventuress is
thwarted. Unlike the ordinary prob
lems, which confront the newly ar
rived immigrant, that which Jerry has
to solve is one laid in the home where
she is living and concerns the welfare
of her employer for whom she holds
a secret and powerful love.
