FIXING THE „CLASS“ IDEA

A NEW school of photoplay theater advertisers is developing throughout the United States,
(...) Moving Picture World, Sept. 5, 1914
& At the Cozy Manager S. B. Sceck was out, but Alex Wheelwright, operator, was strictly on the job in an operating room
which is literally flooded with daylight at matinees through a window fully three feet wide; also there were incandescent
lights burning, though I could not see just why. Power‘s machines
were used.
The auditorium lighting of the Cozy left much to be
desired. There are clocks in Ogden which stand
in sad need of squelching. They have fully as much, if not more,
prominence than the picture; also there are exit lights
which would, I think, be perfectly visible two blocks away.
Ogden theaters, or such of them as I saw, compare
favorably with those of other cities, but their lighting stands
in need of attention.

& War Has No Effect on Production
The war clouds overshadowing Europe have not so far
affected production at the various Los Angeles studios,
and all companies and directors are continuing with their work
as though peace reigned supreme. In the shipment
of still pictures, for agents of companies in Europe, all are
addressed to the New York offices of the company,
instead of direct to Europe, as usual. (...)
When a stranger, working extra recently for a Majestic
company, received a telegram announcing the
serious illness of his father at San Francisco, Director Donald
Crisp played the part of the „angel“ and loaned the
young man twenty-five to make the trip. Since then he has not
heard from the man.

& OBSERVATIONS
BY OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN. (...)
Said a theatrical agency man the other day: „The assumed
spirit of patriotism on the part of some people who come
to me for stage and photoplay work makes me tired. Day after day
they plead for an opportunity to make some money which
they may leave their wives and children when their country calls
them for service in the war. Some men who come to me
are sincere, but the majority use the plea as a ruse to get booked.
One fellow told me that his three brothers who had been
the support on his aged parents were called to war and he was
obliged to send money from this side to help keep up
the support. I made a special effort in his behalf, and felt like
kicking myself a few days later when I found out that
the fellow was born in this country and of American parentage.
His story was a pure fake.“
