Experts Laud New Picture Process 1 Use Painted Sets Someone is always revolutioniz ing the motion picture industry. So much so that picture folks have be come, like the Mexicans, quite blase about revolutions. Something like this happened when a director named Ferdinand Earle, who is now filming the "Rubaiyat" on the west coast, de clared that he had discovered a method of painting scenery, which could not be distinguished from real sets. fHe stated that he had done away with large studios, fabricated sets and the necessity of peeking appro priate locations. He said he had made possible an infinite variety of sets, one for every episode and he was staking the success of a $100,000 production on the experiment. Belief in Miracles. This was asking producers to be lieve in' miracles, and experts from the producing bases in New York were dispatched to learn the truth. Returning to report, they de clared that Earle had mixed pictures of real sets and ones of his own, pasted them together and rait them off in the projecting room and that they had failed to pick out the real ones. The inventor further convinced them he could photograph starlight and fog, show running watejr and trees stirred by breezes, in his sets. He also showed them how action performed by characters merely walking about a floor mechanically tipped and measured off and devoid of scenery could subesquently be introduced accurately and convinc ingly into special sets already pho tographed. This trick is accom plished by double and multiple ex 'posure and by - various other me chanical devices. With Frederick Warde playing Omar, the first picture by this meth od is Hearing completion. It is based on the old Persian philoso pher's poem, "The RubiaySit." All the scenes will be shown in medie val Arabian settings but t not an actor will leave Hollywood, during the entire shooting of the story. Experts declared that the new process was not primarily a monev saver as had been at first reported, The production cost is to be prac tical lv the same as under present conditions. The advantage lies in the vastly increased elaborateness and beauty of the results. It is thought that the procedure will eventually put present methods m the discard. Many More Scenes. In "The Rubiayat" there are 10 times as many scenes as are ordi narily shown in a single picture. The variety of scenes is limited only by the imagination of the artist and his ability to paint. Moreover, the actual shooting of 10 refcls of action will take , only three weeks' time in all, in a spe cial studio equipped for this work in Hollywood. Mr. Earle invented the process of photography himself after years of experimentation and research.

All had settled down to country quiet except one very proper young miss who slipped down to the kitch en for a morsel of luncheon. Unfamiliar with her surroundings, she pulled a drawer of cooking uten sils out too-far and it clattered ana crashes! on the floor. The young man sleeping above awakened. Seizing his revolver he cautiously groped his way through strange cor ridors to the kitchen. "Hands up!" Up went the loaf of bread in one hand the carving knife in the other. The man and the girl looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then both enjoyed a midnight supper. As the girl started away with her candle the man impulsively kissed her. The girl was angry. After this, as the beginning of their acquaintance, things happened thick and fast. Cosmo Hamilton knows just how to handle such situations, and "The Week End" is brimming over with them. i Margarita Fisher is the girl in this American Spucial, and Milton Sills is the man who is violently in love with her. George L. Cox watched and di rected the love making.

"I guess I'm not an artist," h used to say with his Irish smile, and certainly 1 m not a genius How could I be without having some queer things to tell about me? So far, so good. But the othe day a visitor who had dropped into Moore s dressing room, asked him how it came he had so many pipes And it seems Moore has a mania for pipes. He is always buying them and people are always giving them to him. When Moore is studying a part and muses over his pipe about it, he is very particular as to which pipe lie chooses. "If I'm to play a regular swell I smoke a costly carved thing in laid with mother of pearl. If I'm to do an oriental I get mv teakwood And in "Officer 666" I smoked a little old brdken stemmed pipe. Did you ever see an Irishman whose pipe stem wasn t broken.'' You did not, for he loves to get the bowl right uo under his nose." Moore gripped the stem in his teeth and cuddled the bowl in hi cupped hand, while he winked at his visitor and said: "Sure, it's a foine policeman I make, they do be say mg. s "Fifteen men on the Dead Mans Chest , Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

An other exponent of the same idea, Florenz Ziegfeld, has announced that beauty is not the only qualm cation for stage success, but is the incst important one. "Let the stage have an idea we are discarding and welcome, commented irank Lloyd, the director. "Mere physical beauty," Lloyd added, "is a poor reed to lean on, and the makers of screen drama have at last found it out. "Ray, Hart, Rogers, Fairbanks and others who pull the crowds are l.ot Beau Brumnicls. Tlicy express character, purpose or vigorous am bition. "The public is tired of the poseurs. ihe essence of drama is conflict, ret pliysical comeliness. A player has got to mean something besides being a pawn in a saccharine, con ventional romance or a fashion plate." Hawaiians at Moon.
