THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 4, 1920.
HER "SHIMMY"
WINS JOB
MYRTLE ROSE is a girl who
has "smniniyed" her way into
motion pictures. It happened
the other day out at the Goldwyn
studio. A large number of ex
tras were working in a scene in
lorn Aloores newest
"Toby's Bow." It was
fliess ball of Bohemia.

eye happened to stray over to a
corner where a girl not on the set
at the moment was dancing. He let
out a yell. He had found just what
he wanted. He didn't know her
name, so he had to call, "You with
the yellow hair and the fringed
crimson scarf, come here." She
came. And in the picture she will
be seen in an interesting demonstra
tion of the proper manner of doing
the latest dance.
Following the release of "Dropped
Into Scandal," the first of the new
series of Gayety comedies featuring
Giorge Ovey, many hilarious fun at
tractions are being planned. The
comedies are one reel each in length
and are termed as "polite slapstick."
Ovey, with Lillian Biron and the
Gayety girls, are featured in the first
two releases, "Dropped Into Scan
dal" and "Are Flirts Foolish?" The
third of the Gayety comedies has
also been started under the direction
of Carig Hutchinson. It will be en
titled Dark and Cloudy.
The Goldwyn Pictures corpora
tion has acted quickly on its recent
decision to make pictures in the
cast as well as at Culver City. The
officials of the company have ap
pointed Robert B. Mclntyre produc
tion manager in the east, and he is
now busily engaged in arranging de
tails for the first eastern Goldwyn
production since the company es
tablished its California plant. The
picture which has been selected is
"Partners of the Night," by Leroy
, Scott. J
"The Fortune Hunter," one of
Broadway's " most ' successful plays
last season, lias been chosen by Mar
jorie Rambeau and Albert Capollani
to be picturized for Miss Rambeau's
debut as a Pathe star.
John W. Grey, president of Su
preme Pictures, Inc., announced.that
his new "Master Mind" serial will
take advantage of the craze for the
occult.
"This vogue for the psychic," says
Mr. Grey, "is the aftermath of the
war in literature and the drama.
Why not in pictures which are the
clearest mirror of life? That was
the question that occured to me and
1 was confirmed by Arthur B. Reeve,
the novelist and short story writer
associated with me here in our
Flushing studio.
"In some instances previously,
attempts have been made in pictures
to portray hypnotism as an agent
of evil but these portrayals have
been Jiot only untruthful, but un
interesting. In the "Master Mind"
we use this for the good and up
lift of humanity."
i "Men in penal institutions natur
ally have little to think ot, ana wnat
diversion is afforded them is made
much of and its importance magni
fied," declares Mary Miles Minter,
Realart star. Miss Minter says she
receives many letters from convicts
in penitentiaries all over the United
States, wherever the institution pos
sesses a moving picture outfit to give
the inmates some diversion, and in
the future she intends to do all she
can to make the lives of these poor
unfortunates as pleasant as condi
tions permit.
Photographed at great peril and
after innumerable hardships, the
first of the pictures taken on- the
Paramount-Vanderbilt expedition
into an unexplored region of the
Canadian Rockies is now m readi
uess and will be released December
21 as part of the Paramount Maga
zine. The expedition, which was
gone three months and returned
only recently, was headed by Corne
lius Vanderbilt, jr., son of Brig.
Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt, and in
cluded in its personal several
wealthy New York sportsmen. ,
"In the Canadian Wilds' is the
title of the first of the Vanderbilt
pictures, which vfes made in. a sec
tion south of Bonff, in Bntish Al
berta, shortly after young Vander
bilt had been made an honorary
chief of the famous Stoney tribe ot
Indians. ...
The expedition made its journey
from Banff south into the wilder

Josephine 'Sedgewick. champion
woman broncho rider of the world
and former leading lady for Will
Rogers, has been signed by Robert
Brunton to play . opposite Jack
Dempsey in his $183,000 western se
rial. 'Miss Sedgewick has probablv

tests than any other, cowgirl tn the
country. V
Albertina Rasch may not be seen
in vaudeville again, at least., for a
long while. Miss Rasch, who is now
tripping the light fantastic on the
Orpheum circuit, is planning a great
ballet troupe under the auspices ot
one of the leading impressanos of
the country. .' - "
Alfred J. Moore, conductor of the
United States jazr band, now jazz-ing-it-up"
on the Orpheum circuit, is
going back into politics when their
tour is over. He will run for the leg
islature in Massachusetts, with his
eye glued to the United States
senate..
John Barrymore is suffering from
a severe case of grip, but despite his
physician's orders to the contrary
he has insisted upon doing his scenes
tor "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
which he declares is a pleasant di
version from his heavy roie m 'The

Close-Ups and Cut-Outs
WHEN you look backward -at
"Old Father '19" you must
confess, all thines consid
ered, he treated us pretty well and,;
oest ot an, he set us right for '20.
Suppose we grasp every opportunity
with a' smile, cut out the knocks, and
make all movie fans happy. We can,
if we will, build for and show better
pictures than ever. - '
Some still term it "fillum." No ve
didn't say, "Fillem up again.", '
Florence Reed is of the opinion
that a stitch in time will often save
900 feet of film.
They say a movie wig on the head
is worth two in the dressing room.
Early 'in 1920 William Fox will
present the famous star, Pearl
White, in one of 'the most thrilling
screen productions ever made. This
universally admired actress will in
troduce something that is quite dif
ferent from the usual photoplay, and
she is looking forward with pleasure
to the release of the picture.
-By We r-
in which Btttk Jon er is being starred
by William Fox, are being made at
the famous Agoure ranch on the
Mojave desert. The Harold Titus
story has proven to be, a mostao
ccptable vehicle for the' sensational
young cowboy-soldier-actor.
The public has seen Pearl White
only in the serial productions,' and it
fitting that this star, on whom
4,000,000 of eyes feast every week,
should be introduced , by tox m a
superproduction that will mark a
distinct advance in the building of
screen drama. In the very near fu
ture 'work will be well under way.
Florence Malone. formerly leading
woman for Fiske O'Hara and other
well known stars, has been signed
by William Fox to appear in a forth
coming Fox production.
Dorothy Phillips, leading star of
the Universal company, and her
husband and director, Allen Holu
bar, have left that company and a
lawsuit over their services is probable.
The exteriors of "The Last Straw, '
George Walsh, athletic , Fox star,
lias issued a challenge to Bab Ruth,
premier batter , of organized base
ball and a challenger of Jack Demp
sey. Walsh says that Ruth will
have 'to lick him before he has, a
right to challenge anybody else, and
that he is ready to meet the slug
ging outfielder any time that, ar
rangements can be made.
The Fox. -star claims that' he is
the champion athlete of the screen,
and does not intend to give up that
title unless it is taken from him by
a superior athlete. He is ready and
willing to meet Ruth or anyone
else. .
A real live rattlesnake is about to
be added to the cast supporting
Anita Stewart in Louis B. Mayer's
production of ."The Fighting Shep
herdess." Miss Stewart is not very
enthusiastic . about the introduction
of the new actor, as she has to do
a scene with it, but Frank M.
Dazey wrote the rattling reptile
into the scenario so Director Jose
says it must "go as it is." The
snake will be used in the shots to
be made on the sheep ranch loca
tion. "Soldiers of Fortune," and Allan
Dwan production and Realart's first
feature relase, has been hailed by
reviewers as one of the finest pic
tures of the year, ' both from an
artistic and. a dramatic standpoint.
Allan Dwan says he feels more
satisfaction over the film than over
any of his previous productions, bat
hopes to go one notch higher in
the new picture he. is now making
for Realart. ,

George Choos, was introduced to
New York vaudeville last week. It

for exhibition in every Orpheum

Kitty Gordon, the famous inter
national beauty, has returned to the

years, during which time she was
busily engaged making motion pic
tures. She now appears in two acts
in vaudeville. With the assistance
of a company of six, she heads
one offering in a cycle of songs and
dances. In the other, she co-stars
with Jack Wilson, in an uproariously-
funny travesty on the movies.
