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.

Hunting Burglars, He
Steals a Kiss From
Midnight Prowler
It was midnight at Hideaway Cot
tage. 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.

tory prowess on the films and a
hectic effusion from one who signs
himself E. P. W. has just arrived in

follows:
"When winter comes, with ice and
snow, j
The ow ners of our movie show
Use no more heat, yet none are

Tom's Moods Are All
Aided by Certain
Pipe of Big Group
Tom Moore has a fad, after all
For all the years he lias been on the
stage and screen, he has loudly de
nied that he had any of the fads
and foibles on which press agents
pounce with such delight.
"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

Poseurs for Stage
But Not for Screen,
Says Big Director
Hereafter youth and beau'y are to
have first call in the stage prcsenta
tions. the Shubcrts announce. 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.
The Moon theater this week, in
connection with its teatine picture,
"The Double-Dyed Deceiver," offers
a Hawaiian musical and d?ncing act,
"A Night in the Tropics." There
are seven persons in the prelude, in
cluding a dusky maiden who hails
from Honolulu and does the latest
Hawaiian interpretation of the na
