FUED STONE, famous scarecrow
of the "Wizard of Oz," star of
a dozen of America's most pop
ular ami successful musical comedies
sn.l at present playing at the Globe
Theatro In his greatest success, "Jack
o' Lantern," Is to become a comedy
star of the moving pictures under tho
auspices of tho Paramount Pictures
Corporation and Jesso L. Lasky.

arios for which will be provided to ex
ploit tho personality and accomplish
ments of one of tho most popular and
successful comedians on the American
stage.
Concerning his new venturo Into the
motion picture field, Mr. Stone said:
"In tho past few years I have re
ceived many flattering and tempting
efTers to becomo a film star, but I
havo always felt a natural hesitancy
about signing up In this new field until
I could be assured of entering It under
th same high class management as
has made happy my long association
with Charles 13. Dillingham.
"This new association with Mr
I-uky has solved that problem, and I
may fay, In all sincerity, I am glad to
lc affiliated with a company of such
hlqh standards as those attained by
Paramount pictures."
Since the days of, "The Wizard of
Oz," when the famous team of Mont
gomery and Stone first scored Its
countrywide success, Fred Stone has
ken ono of the greatest character
comedians on the stage.- The long
trlrs of successes In which lie ap
1'f.ired with his late partner, Dave
Montgomery, Included "The Red Mill,"
"The Old Te'.vn," "Tl T-ady of the
Mlpper," "Chin Chin'' and others.
.After the death of Montgomery. Stone
r.t'penred as a single star, and has
ii hieved tho greatest success of his
career In "Jack o' Lantern.''
Mr Htone Is known almost as well
t r the many varied "stunts" he has
''en able to Introduce In his work a&
fer lils own Inimitable powr-a ,
lancing and pantomlmtv xXhedlan.
Lariat throwing, tight rope walking,
lareback riding, ventriloquism, panto
mimic piano playing, skating and a
rumbor of tho most difficult of tho
"Fairbanks stunts" were all grist to
li mill In the course of his various i
appearances In one new success) after
tnother. '
Mr. Stone's appearance In the silent
drama will not bo his first essay at
pantomime. Several years ago ho
tppcared ns a pantomimic star under
the management of Kobert Arthur In

THE FRINGE Of SOCIETY
London and Liverpool. Ills success In
pictures Is nlready assured by reason
of his worldwide popularity, his ex
traordinary powers as an eccentric
comedian, his Indefatigable, capacity
for mastering whatever ho goes Into,
his well defined powers as a panto
mimic artist, and his extraordinarily
likable and magnetic personality.
Sir Johnston Forbes-ltobertson hits
completed his scenes in "The Passing
of the Third Floor Back," upon which
he has been working at the Brenon
studios for the lust six weeks.
Sir Johnston came to this country
a little over two months ago to tnko
part In the screen version of tho play
In which he scored such a success sev
eral years ago. Since coming to Amer
ica he Las devoted his tlmo exclu
sively to his work for tho camera.
While Herbert Brenon announces
that there is still much work to bo
done on the production as a whole, the
scenen In which Sir Johnston portrays
his beloved role of the Stranger havo
been entirely completed, with a result
that within the next few days Sir
Johnston will return to his home In
England.

Man," duo at tho Strand to-day, by a
photographlo novelty of tho highest
order, devised and Introduced by
George Loano Tucker. Tho scone Is
on the water In the bay of Naples,
Italy, at night. It Is Just a short,
atmospheric note In the action: but l
affords something of a thrill In creat
ing tho effect of the moon passing
from under a cloud.
The scene does not show the moon.
. Mr. Tucker contends that there Is
much more to be gained by suggestion
than by representation, so all that Is
seen Is Just the light of tho moon,
bathing everything In tho picture.
First the scene Is deep blue with the
moon under the cloud, and then sud
denly, as tho moon comes out, every
thing is Illumined by a bright light.
In tho continuity of "Tho Cinderella
Man' which was written by Director
Tucker, may be found tho explanation
of how the effect was secured. "Tone
tlio sceno blue," reads the direction,
"and let three feet run black and
white." It Is very simple when one
knows how It is done, but It Is highly
successful on tho screen In Indicating
the shitting moonlight.
Another novel effect of lighting oc
curs In tho same play. It is a sceno
In Marjorle Caner's bedroom that
opens with what Is known technically
as a "fade-In." Thnt Is to say, out of
the darkness the scene gradually ap
pears. This Is accomplished by ad
i Justing tho opening before tho camera
lens so that more and more light In
admitted. Usually tho hard edges of
tho opening are seen In the picture,
but not so here.
Director Tucker solved the difficulty
v gradually strengthening the light
from the great Cooper-Hewitts that Il
luminate the scene. The result Is that
the fade-In Is perfect. The tinting
method was also employed here, the
first four feet black and white and
tho rest colored.
It Is significant of tho care with
which Ooldwyn Pictures are made that
no lessi than 1,087 separate scenes were
photographed for the making of "The
Clnderellu Man."
As each scene Is usually photo
graphed twice, or in two "takes," to
guard against mishaps, this means
that a total of 2,074 scenes were photo
graphed, or approximately 40,000 feet
of film. As this Included duplication,
one may pay that about twenty reels
of 1,000 feet each wero exposed to
make tho six reels necessary for the
completed work. About 780 scenes
among those taken were eliminated,
leaving about 307 to be shown on the
screen.
This Is by no means an example of
production waste. It was all done de
liberately and with the full knowledge
and consent of tho producing staff.
Virtually every scene that was dis
carded was a good ono and contributed
Its lota of Interesting detail to the
action as a whole; but It was left out
because tho Goldwyn process of elim
ination alms to make superior photo
plays by skimming the cream from the
best.
The details of this method ore such
a popular gathering place of smart
diners. In giving Broadway this In
stitution Manager Gaillard T. Uoag
seems to have supplied a long felt
first visit.

"There Is Just as much dlfferenco i
between prorer food conservation and ,

econom' ns there Is between night and
day." This rlso comes from Pat Kyne,
general manager of Murray's, directly
following the recent agitation for tho
curtailing of banquets. Considerable
comment on this subject resulted In
tho publication of correspondence be
tween Kyne and tho president of a cer
tain club, who on behalf of his fellow
associates deemed It advisable to can
cel Uh annual dinner with an ex
planation that It would help conserve
food products. Kyne's reply to tho
club was taken up for discussion by
Charles K. Gehring, editor of tho Hotel
llcrlnie, who In a recent Issue of his
publication commented on tho subject
as follows: "The discontinuance of
banquets In no way aids In tho con
servation of those foodstuffs which the
Government desires shall be saved.
There Is more food of a substantial and
transportable kind consumed by the
diner In a side street eating house who
pays only a few dimes for his dinner
than by the banquet guest who pays
as many dollars for Ills ticket. "

BROOKLYN PLAYS.
"Twin Beds," which kept New
Yorkers laughing for more than
a year, will be the offering of the
Montauk Theatre this week.
The company which presented
the plav last season remains with
it. Lois Bolton will play the
leading role, supported by Vir
ginia Fairfax, R. M. D'Angelo,
William Courneen, Richard Ho
gan and others.
The Majestic Theatre will be
closed this week because the
management preferred a dark
house to offering an attrac
tion not up to the theatre's
standard. It will reopen Mon
day, December 94, with "The
Very Idea," in which Emest
Truex and Richard Bennett are
co-stars.
