Selz- - nick Pictures are her producers, and .the Select Pictures corporation will . be the distributing medium. True to form Elsie will portray the same type of comedy-plus drama . as characterized her appearance in France. It is safe, to say that there ., im Anlw An nrsAnair in Fraflr. whtise fame and renown are as wide spread as her's. The other one is Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing. The writer well remembers a visit Miss Jams paid the doughboys over on the Toul sector. The front was any thing but quiet, shells were coming over from fritz and gas was in the air. Elsie laughed whenever a shell r laughter. We asked her why the mirth. "Don't you see that none , of .these shells are-doing any dam age? Wherever I go the Huns seem to follow me with shells but none of them seem to cause injury. I was just thkiking that if there were only a few dozen of- me the Germans would soon use up all of their amu nition and the war would soon be over." " - ' ' Yes. she Is a "regular" American. Her first Selznick picture is a sure fire hit even before it is finished " for Elsie is "the sweetheart of the XA. E. F." and when a doughboy ' hears that she is in pictures the first thing he asks is wnetner or not ne will be able to witness the exhibition of the film. They don'fccare for the - plot or whether it isVcomedy or " drama. As long as they wilt be able to see their beloved Elsie again, they are contented. The best part of it is, however, that a really note worthy scenario has been secured, and the best direction in the coun try obtained. No expense is to be spared, and when Mr. Selznick says s "go the limit" everyone knows . that "the limit is way up in six figures. The. title of .the picture, .. "Every body s Sweetheart, is one wnicn too Will easily couple with Elsie, for.she is just that to the million") 1 soldiers who wish her success. 'GladysBrockwell, who is in "The Sneak," showing at the. Sun this week, contends that man has riot changed since .the days of the cave man and, that he still woos his mate in the same manner tlje only difference being the choice of weapons in place of the club. "Even with" 1iis watchfobs and hard collars, man cannot disguise himself," says Miss Brockwell. The addition of a monocle and a sylph likeicane' doesn't help matters a jot. Man the caveman shines through ' them all? His disguise is as trans parent as winaow glass. -, 'Behiud his kid gloves and briw f liantly polished shoes there lurks 4 . still something of the man who con quered his woman by the might of yhis sinewy arms and the weight of his cudgel. Through the veneer, of civilization and good breeding still creeps something of the spirit , 6f the man who courts with a stiletto. J When ' man a-courting goes, '. he , still strides on with-the air-of a con ; quistador. Even the bashful, blush ing man cannot hide his primeval self when the fair sex is concerned. He, bullies his rivals, and after a On the Screen i rOfnatia r ' r rvWeli v - 1 I fiW -ftm ill I CozisiazLce Dafmaefye fashion bullies the maiden of his choice. What, other than well-bred bullying, is the tendering of gifts, the bestowing of confections and the arranging of theater parties. The chocolate drop and orchestra seat are mere successors of the cave man's cudgel. In order to accommodate the crowds which gather-to watch him everv time he directs a scene:. Don ald Crisp has been forced to install bleachers, consisting of several benches, behind the camera in -all of his sets, Crisp is a more inter esting spectacle than a circus when he is at work. One visitor said that he would rather watch Crisp work than see his pictures. This is an exaggera tion, as anyone familiar with the productions he directs knows on principle. But there's rio more amazing spectacle on the lot than Crisp when he is in the-jmidst of a scene r ;, His methods of directing are unique.. Instead of telling the play ers what to do, he runs through the scene himself, playing all the roles, mimicing the voices - and gestures of the" characters m an imitaSle com edy manner. -Ty watchf him dothe romping ingenue, or the sour old maid, or the bashful hero, is worth going miles.
