Behind the Screen Clippings 7/93

Behind the Screen Scenes
& The Pederewskis will arrive on Monday, and society
is rising manfully to assist in the sale of those
wonderful Polish dolls which Mme. Paderewski has on exhibition.
Having been designed by some of the greatest
Polish artists, you can imagine their charm and interest. There
is to be a great reception at the Alexandria on
Wednesday, when we can gaze fondly at the great pianist
and buy a doll to show our love for his sad country.
We are assured that every doll sold saves the life of a Polish
baby. It is heartrending to hear madame tell of the
sorrows of the women in her afflicted country.

„More than ten big sets“
Editorial content. „In and Out of West Coast Studios
By J. C. Jessen
Special to Motion Picture News
Los Angeles, Oct. 21.“ (...)
„Paderewski and Chaplin exchanged courtesies while
the former was in Los Angeles during the past week. The pianist
sent the comedian a pair of tickets for his concert and
an invitation to dinner later. The following day Chaplin entertained
the musician at his studio, and there he saw some of the
scenes for the coming Chaplin releases, which is a burlesque
on scenes at a motion picture studio titled Behind the
screen. While in conversation Paderewski let the fact be known
that he was an ardent screen fan, and never misses
seeing a Chaplin release.“ (...)
„The next Chaplin release has been completed and shipped.
Chaplin takes the part of an assistant property man
at a motion picture studio, and is the principal in a pie throwing
contest that musses up a coronation set adjoining.
With the bakers of Los Angeles, having recently raising the price
of all baked goods, Studio Manager H. P. Caulfield
tried to talk the pie-eating contest out of the script, but the
comedians, fond of the delicacy, insisted that it should
remain. It seems that an attempt is being made to balance
up casts, and that Mr. Chaplin is trying to use more
people in this picture in order to make up for the number that
were lacking in One A. M., in which he was the sole
and only player. In Behind the Screen, Edna Purviance, for
the first time in her screen career, takes the part
of a boy playing that of a country lad who gets on in the movies.
This comedy will have more than ten big sets, which
is out of the ordinary for Chaplin subjects, and besides this
will have many new bits of trick photography, and
Chaplin vouches for the fact that he is springing a world
of new gags.“
