Cal., Dec. 11.—A col may look at a queen, but it is a tough proposition to get by the gate keepers who guard the "queens" ot movieland. Chosen because ot their ahilitiy to judge humans, and enforce judgment, the sloli 1 studio gateman halt would be visiters and (urn them away if their business is not imperative and of interest to the studio. Producers and directors say that if a single player is interrupted, the entire production is delayed. Every unit on (he lot electricians, camera men, professional men, assistants— must wait until all are ready to pro teed. Also it has been observed that a visitor's gallery impairs the qualify of the players' work. Actors, they say. are incapable of doing their best while Hie curios eyes of strang ers are upon them.
