What Prominent Artists Think the Most
Essential Thing for Success in the Films
COLLECTED BY DICK WILLIS.
Bessie Barrlscale believes that natural
ness means far mora than anything else.
Miss Bessie says much In little.
Bearlns; serials In mind. Helen Holmes
says an actor or an actress should be
ready to do anything; he or she may be
called on to perform, without reason.
George Behan thinks that correct char
acterisation takes precedence.
Charles Ray states that It Is necessary
for an artist to actually feel hla or her
part and forget Individuality, '
Monro Salisbury avers that no artist
can be a successful photoplayer unless he
thoroughly believes that his work for the
screen is as Important as his work on the
stage would be.. If he thinks he Is taking

up th movies for a change he la going
to be a flat failure and servea him right!
Doug Falrbanke says, "Simple enough
yon Just do It! that's all."
Myrtle Vitedman says to Insure any suc
cess on th screen; one must be entirely
sincere and work very hard, Success never
comes easy and when It does, carelessness
creeps In and success flies.
Ora Carew believes that keeping In good
health Is the main thing, always consider
ing one has ability.
Corlnne Griffith says that success can
only come from taking direction and frem
thinking out one's role carefully, and then
trying to forget all else. Many of the
actresses and actors, for that matter, give
this same opinion.
Crane Wilbur, who Is now alternating
screen work and stage acting, is a believer
in sound training and sharp intelligence
combined with a thorough knowledge of the
drama. He is quid a student and is always
tn earnest.
Little Enid Markey, whose work in "Re
sponsibility," will bring her strongly Into
the limelight, says, "Study and then more
study, and oh! one must be really ambitious.
It seems to me that nothing can be made
successful it one has not the ambition."
Charles Ray Coming Soon in
Two Good Paramounts ,
The first Charles Ray picture under
the Paramount trade mark, "The Son
of His Father," will soon be released.
"His Mother's 3oy" is to. follow and
it is predicted that it will be as great
a favorite with the public as the first
Ray picture under the new auspices.
"The Son of His Father" is from
the story by Ridffwcll Cullum and
was directed by Victor L. Schert-'
zinger. It tells how a youth who has
never displayed' any particular busi
ness ability and like many rich men's
sons has wasted his substance in
riotous living, is placed on his mettle
by his .dad. given $5,000 and told to
go, out and earn a $100,000 in six
months. Vola Vale supports Mr. Ray
in this picture. Features of the film
are many, but perhaps the hand to
hand struggles involving the star are
the most thrilling.
"His Mother's Boy," also directed
by Mr, Schertzinger, is from Rupert
Hughes' story, "When Life is Marked i
Down. The screen version is by
Ella Stuart Carson. A backgronnd of
the great oil country makes it par
ticularly interesting and unique in film
dramas.
Pearl White Cured This
Sammie of Homesickness
An American soldier was standing
on the quay at Boulogne waiting to
be embarked for England. He was
"fed-up" with foreign scenes, with for
eign tongues, with foreign food with
everything foreign in fact. He sighed
for home for buckwheat cakes and
syrup, for ice water; for the sound of
American slang, fop- the sight of a
good major league base ball game. He
was homesick, plain homesick. His
eye wandered idly from object to ob
ject that not long before would have
interested him hugely and then got
a shock. There in plain sight was
a sign reading as follows: s.
Cinema be Boulogne
Ce soli
La Bague Fatale ave
Pearl White
Right away his heart was glad.
Here was something from home with
a vengeance.' He wanted to see that
show but his boat could not wait. He
landed in' England and there the first
thing he saw was the same poster ad
vestistng Pearl White, in "The Fatal
Ring," to be shown that evening at
one of the local cinemas. His home
sickness vanished. Home was not so
far away after alK
Exposures
-By KILOWATT-
MOSX everyone knows A.- t. Fllnton,
. chief custodian in this district of
the Paramount Artcraft Interests.
Most everyone knows he alwaya
travels days, and will not sleep in a.
Pullman if it can be avoided. Most every
one wonder at this. Therefore let it be
known by these presents that ye real reason
ba -at last been discovered. Mr. Fllnton
la a big man and everything he undertakes,
he does in a big way. When he doe sleep .
In a Pullman, he Is the only on that doe.
It haa even been said that a patron one
night was going to sue ' th company for
placing the ear next to the engine until the
reason (A. IX T.) was discovered. It Is also
said that a hotel patron one night phoned
the clerk that someone had run a flivver In
the hall and was letting the engine run wild
with the cut-out open Thus spake Mr.
Bouquet.
A lady was looking intently at the new
electrlo fountain in tha lobby of the Sun
theater the other day, and finally asked
Harry Goldberg If he didn't think It would
be pretty If he would place some gold fish.
In the bowl. Harry said he would be glad
to, but he had just placed an order for seme
"sun fish."
Wally Held will soon be seen In "Believe
Me Xantlppe." which was the third Harvard
prize play, and has met with great success
on the stage. ,
It Is quite natural that Manager Crandell
should have found his place In the World as
his former home was In Washington, and hie
father a government official. In fact Mr.
Crandell himself has worked In tha capitok
what a model man her dead husband was.
She at last finds out that he was not the
saint she thought him, and it waa then ahe
again mixed with the young folks' and had
experiences that will amuse. Monday Tay
