Film Audiences
Have Got Beyond
Stunt pretense
The average motion picture audi
ence of today has "got wise" to bo
gus stunts by stars. The fact Is that
faking in photoplays is almost a
thing of the past Deception is not
so easily practiced as many imagine,
members of the photoplay craft de
clare. It is said to be remarkable
how well versed in studio technique
and procedure the motion" picture
djvotee has become.
Insistence upon the -actual per
formance of hazardous stunts aJwa'ys
brings to mind the many feats that
Tom Mix has performed inhis west
ern photodramas for Fox. A few
pictures ago, appearing as a deputy
sheriff, he was chasing a band of
outlaws. The stage in which he was
riding was overturned on the edge of
a-steep hill and rolled to the bottom.
Mix refused to allow a dummy to
be used, but had a framework con
srructed inside the coach to which he
could cling. Over went the coach,
and the daring star arrived at the
bottom Vof the hill with a few
scratches.
JJut when he emerged from the
demojished coach, Mix had to be
shot "by one of the outlaws. The
shooting was done by EJ Jones, one
of Mix's faithful; powpunchers, who
sent a real bullet straight through
the deputy's badge. Just previous
to the shot Mix was seen to take his
watch from his vest pocket under
the badge, note the time and replace
it. Immediately after 'the shooting
he pulled out the fragments of the
watch, and with them the bullet that
had seemingly been stopped by the
watch.
'What saved Mix's life in this scene
was. a small steel stove plate con
cealed under his badge inside the
ihirt. The plate was bullet proof
and Ed Jones never misses his mark.

promising young actors of the

Noted Juvenile
Judge of Denver
Appears iri Movie
Everybody's doing it now. Acting
for the motion pictures, you kaow.
It actually isn't safe to cross Main
street any more, for tear there s a
cameraman secreted on the steps ot
the First National bonk filming the
citizens and citizenesses as they go
innocently about their business, lit
tle guessing tnai me next nine iney
go to see the picture they will be
horrified to see themselves.
' The latest, and one of 'the most
distinguished recruits to the ranks
of the temporary motion picture
actors is Judge Ben Lindsey, founder
and still presiding genius of Den
ver's far-famed model juvenile court.
The "Little Judge" who has -"put
over'1 one of the biggest known re
forms in dealing with juvenile delin
quency, has not deserted the bench
for the screen by any manner of
means, !ut he did reealize that by
consenting to appear in one big film
production he could send his mes
sage of a square deal for every child
to more persons in a few months
than he'could hope to reach in years
of lecturing and writing on his pet
topic.
It is safe to state that no social
worker in the country has done more
for the youthful delinquent than
Judge Lindsey.
Through his untiring efforts the
separate detention home for juvenile
delinauents awaitine trial, and the
Separate court in which .to hear their
pitiful cases, were made a reality, ana
countless numbers of youthful mischief-makers
in his own and other
cities (for Denver's juvenile court
soon became a world model) have
been saved from continuing in lives
of crime.
, That is the judge's idea. How it
works is shown in several scenes of
thrilling interest in William D. Tay
lor's new special, "The Soul of
Youth," one of the biggest "kid" pic
tures ever filmed. The youthful hero
of the play, who is, by the way, that
most delightful, impudent, snub
nosed lad who made "Huck Finn"
live on the screen, is the resident of
an orphans home. From this dreary
haven he runsaway and takes to the
life of the streets, and soon finds
himself in the clutches of the law
and haled into .court Judge Lind
sey's court, of course. Here the
-spectator is shown the little judge's
actual methods: of handling boy
cases.
Judge Lindsey and his wife
journeyed all the way from Denver
to Hollywood, Cal., to appear in the
several scenes dealing with this part
of the story.
"The SouI of Youth" will be
shown soon in Omaha.
Premier Organist to
Play In Movie House
Some special themes in musical
composition pertaining to coming
attractions at the Strani.theater are
being prepared by Julius K. John
son, premier theater organist, now
playing in that theater.
Mr. Johnson is considered one of
the best theater organists in the
country, having played organs for
the past 12 years.
Before entering the theater field.
he was head organist and choir di
rector at Trinity church in Minne
apolis, conducted the Ausburg Sem
inary band, was one of the directors
ahd teachers of the Johnson School
of Music at Minneapolis and a com
poser of numerous band and organ
selections. Several of his band
marches have been played by Sousa's
and Pryor's binds on their concert
tours.
Mr. Johnson entered the theater
field as organist at .the Lyric theater
in Minneapolis. Later he played in
the Regent theater, New York. His
latest endeavor before coming to
Omaha was in the New- Garick
theater. Minneapolis

Which Does More
Good In Pictures,
Hero or Villain?
Which does the most good for the
world, ,the portrayal of a "hero" in
films, or that of the low-down, de
spicable individual who plays the vil
lain? . -
This is the latest argument in film
circles. Jack Holt, leading man for
Mary Miles Minter, takes up the
cudgels for his profession while
"Bob" Cain, famous heavy, is
equally insistent, for his side of the
case.
Says Holt, "A role that furnishes
a good example for other people is
the kind desired by players who
hope for a future in films. Now
adays nine-tenths of a show's
pitronage is composed of families
mothers, fathers and their children.
Ix a character you interpret is
wholesome and pleasing, a parent
who sees your work will insist that
his children visit your production.
Repulsive parts may attract the
sensation lovers once .perhaps
twice but in the end patronage dies
out because the appeal is not to that
surest of sources, the family.
Cain, now appearing in the Wil
liam D. Tavlor Realart special. The
Witching Hour," believes Holt is
"wrong, all wrong." "One expects
the ordinary person to be good, he
says. "And there is no particular
lesson to be learned from a man or
woman completely virtuous. At
least their conduct does not stand
out or make a definite, heavy im
press on yur mind. But take the
villain, for instance. He's mean, he s
despicable, he's everything he should
not be. People are revolted by him
and determined that neither they nor
their children shall like him. He
teaches a wholesome lesson of futil
ity of badness, a lesson that strikes
home to every one.
"I'm for the bad man. Im con
vinced that he has the most power
ful influence for good or, believe
me, I wouldn't have played villains
for so many long years." .
Supes "Scalped."
Five hundred extra plavers, cast
as Indians for Maurice Tourneur's
filmization of Cooper's immortal
book, "The Last of the Mdhicans,
had their heads "scalped" in order
to look like real warriors in the pic-
U Their hair was oiled and brushed
down flat, then bronze silk stocking
caps, made for the purpose, were
pulled tightly over their craniums,
with the result that they looked like
bald Indians. Then small scalping
locks, or tufts of hair in wig form
were stuck to the "scalps" and the
picture was then made. Of course
these players were "background,"
and the deception could not be dis
covered on the film.
For "close-up" action, four lead
ing actors and IS players actually
shaved their heads to play these
roles." The picture will be released
this fall by Associated Producers.
Doug and the Spanish.
Work is progressing rapidly at the
Fairbanks studios where "Doug" is
making considerable headway in his
next production, "The Black Fox," an
adaptation of the novel, "The Curse
of Capistrano." It is a rousing tale
of love and great fighting scenes
wherein "Doug" is the most con
spicuous contender. The story was
featured serially in "The All Story
Weekly" magazine. Its theme con
fines itself with the Spanish settlers
,in southern California of a century
ago. For this picture Fairbanks has
surrounded himself with the greatest
cast of notable screen players ever
assembled.
Cameramen Take
Daring Risks to
Record All News
Probably no inside phase of
the entire motion picture indus
try is surrounded by the romance
or the. adventure of the
news camera man. Even more
so than the newspaper reporter,
the man who gathers "news" for
the fcreen is a slave to his pro
fession. '
Without ever hope of obtaining
glory, but, with reckless abandon
for his love of duty, the news
camera man risks his life con
stantly. ,
. The Pathe News camera man
went down with the Titanic still
grinding his camera. Seven were
killed reporting the, Japanese
Russo war. In the Black Tom
explosion six camera men were
constantly under fire, as one
Pathe representative was in
filming the attack of the Russian
fleet on the Bosphorus forts.
During the great war they cov-(
ered all fronts. Their feats are
too countless to even mention.
