'" ' ii lHEKE 'S Miss Barriseale. or i Miss Pio.kford, or Mr. Fairbanks, Fair-banks, or anybodv.'' "On loeaiion." Tliat Hied to mean that Miss Bands-er.'c, Bands-er.'c, or Miss Piekford, or Mr. Fairbanks, Fair-banks, or whosoever was out in town, or in liie eountry, not more than a few hours' ride from tho studio, snooting exteriors. But it doesn't mean that any more. If you aro told that some star "is "on location," you might as well reach, for your pocket atlas, for she or he may bo in England, or Erar.LO, Egypt or Japan. Traveling the 3500 miles from Los Angeles to ?Sew York, or from New York to Los Angeles for the 'purpose of shooting a few scenes, is done every week or so by eomDanios of the larger producers, and trips to the Canadian northwest, to the jungles of Louisiana, to the desert, the mountains and the islands of the sea are of such common occurrence that they are seldom noticed no-ticed except in case of accident or some unusual happening. "On location" may also mean forty feet .above the rocf of a sky scraper, where the comedies lovo to film their hair-raising stuff, or a thousand feet in the air in a plane going ono hundred hun-dred miles an hour. Bessie Barriseale is preparing to go "on location," which will take her all around the world. She expects to be away a year at least, and break all records "on location." William Farnum also is arranging for a globe trot, and Marie Doro is "on location in France." Eddie Polo just returned from "location" work abroad, and he doesn't like it much, but still they go. ALTHOUGH Harry Carey's western pictures frequently endanger the lives of all the players in the making, Carey's first gun-fighting experience occurred in staid and placid old New York. Several years before Carey entered the motion pictures he attonded college in New York. He was studying for the law and it was necessary for him to attend a session of the night court on the lower east side. Just as he passed Cooper Union two faxicabs raced head-on down the street. They stopped immediately in front of him. The doors swung open aDd seven men left each cab to engage in a violent pistol battle. AVhen tho smoke cleared away four of the fourteen men lay dead, a policeman police-man was writhing on the pavement, and the other ten men were running in all directions; blazing away at one another an-other from behind lamp posts. A. detective-sergeant jumpod from the running board of a police machine and rushed iuto the midst of the battle. As he turned his back one of the gangsters gang-sters stepped out from the shadow of a doorway just at Carey's elbow. He leveled a revolver at the officer's back. Carey knocked him out with a blow from his fist. Suddenly the street became alive with returning gangsters, police and onlookers. onlook-ers. Standing with his back to a wall beside tho detective-sergeant and the uniformed police Carey batHed with his fists, personally caught two of the gunmen gun-men and aided materially in restoring order. A few minutes later he was summoned sum-moned by the police commissioners to be thanked, and he discovered a gunshot gun-shot wound in his hand. JtjTARY PtCKFORD'S latest production from her own studios, "The Hoodlum," Hood-lum," which will be seen Sunday and Holiday at the Strand theater, affords th'a 1'anwus star the opportunity of her screen career to combine the threads ot comedy, romance, society life and tenement tene-ment life in one production. Eastern critics have pronounced it tho greatest of all Miss Piekiord'a character successes. suc-cesses. COXSTAJsCE BINXEY is one of those exceedingly rare specimens of womanhood who finds time for some useful occupation despite her 'position of star. Miss Binney makes all of her owm hatsnd they don't look it either. Most of them far exceed in beauty any of the expensive chappeaux seen iu the exclusive Fifth avenue shops. NOT one director, but two, took charge of Mary Garden's motion picture debut in the Goldwyn production, produc-tion, "Thais," which is to be seen at the Isis theater Sunday and Monday. They I are Hugo Ballin and Frank Crane. Juliette Dika, famous French songstress and comedienne, who will offer a cyclo of piquant French, songs and popular hits on the new bill opening at Pantages Wednesday. of humanity, being presented by Hiram Abrams at the Broadway theater Sunday Sun-day and Monday. The star is supported in the production produc-tion by his 3-year-old son, George Be-ban, Be-ban, Jr., who plays the most prominent part 'of a youngster of his tender years has ever been allousd on the screen. The plot recites tho ludicrous and tragic adventures of a poor Italian, who sells hiB florist shop iu order to buy some "high, dry land," on tho instructions instruc-tions of a doctor to save his mother's failing health. Tho unscrupulous real estate man who makes the'deal certainly certain-ly fills the prescription and gives him a plot of. ground very high and very dry in fact, the highest and dryest part of the Arizona desert. Thither he departs with his aged mother and little lit-tle motherless boy. How ho surmounts 1 he prejudice of his rought neighbors and the unyielding barrenness of the land, and all his other obstacles, serve to adorn the 1alo and supply the laughter and the tears. WHEX Alice Bradv arrived at Syracuse, Syra-cuse, where she was the guest of honor at the Xew York State fair, at the invitation of the mayor's commit-teo, commit-teo, she was met at the train at 6:30 a. m. by all the officials of Syracuse, who hail risen especially early to meet the po ular star. When she reached the door of the clubhouse later in tho day, where she was the honor guest at the mayor's luncheon, she was presented with a handsome hand-painted sash by Melba Ingalls, a local artist. The gift was made in the name of tho Artists' club of Xew York City and Miss lugalls. Miss Brady was delighted de-lighted with the beautiful bit of silk, and promised to wear it in the. very next picture she is in which will permit per-mit such adornment. THE city of Pavcrside, Calif., lias invited Mary Miles Miuter to be its guest of honor at a fair which will open October 7 and run uutil October 11. The reason for the urgent desire on the part of the people of the California Cali-fornia city to have Miss Miuter as tlieir guest is perhaps best explained in a letter from William M. Leamon of the Daily Press of Riverside, which reads, iu part, as follows: "I am chairman of the committee planning for an airplane feature for the Riverside fair, October 7-11. Already Al-ready I have secured the service of Denton proves his lnnocenca and wins tho girl lie loves. Tho character of Lieutenant Denton Is vlrilo and forcible and one particularly well adapted to Ralph Cloninger's striking strik-ing personality. As Bonita, Klrnan King will doubtless delight her audiences. The rest of the (,'loninger company are all effectively ef-fectively cast in "Arizona," wdiich plays all this week, wath matinees Wednesday and Saturday. "T,f ICKBT," the adorable screen char-L'-"- acter, returns to the Orpheum tomorrow and Tuesday in all her love-ablenesa love-ablenesa as a special conference attraction attrac-tion preceding the opening of the regular regu-lar Orpheum vaudeville bill Wednesday evening. "Mickey," the picture, is a blending of every human emotion. Yet, the story. With its comedy, its pathos, its romance and adventure, and its wonderful thrills, is of .the simplest sort: and simplicity is alwavs greatness, especially if it has so manv enjoyable things about, it as has "Mickey." Plain and straightforward straightfor-ward as the plot is, tho element of surprise sur-prise is ever in view. Mickev is a lovable, harum-scarum little tombov, who is always getting Into all sorts of scrapes, that make you laugh and cry whether with old Joe in tho mountain mining district, or later with her aunt in tho city. From the village setting to the contrasting scenes in the homo of Mickey's aunt, there is ever an atmosphere of reality, with not a dull moment in all tho seven reels. The big production Is to be shown at the Orpheum with especially attractive i features.

The result, according to the story, is a mad scramble on the part of some 300 000 females to lead the handsome star to the altar. In the meantime, he has shattered his cynical thoughts on mnrria'-'c bv fulling in love with "the onlv girl."' it's the merry climax of the' briskest Reid picture yet, when he wiggles out of his difficulties and wins bo tli a fortune and the girl. i OXF. of the most picturesque spots of the Yosemite vallay has been used as "location" for duplicating the village of Ttakone, Japan, which is shown in "The Dragon Painter," Sessile Ses-sile Havakawa's latest Robertson-Cole production distributed by Exhibitors' Mutual, which opens today at the American Amer-ican tlvatcr following a week's delay in transit. , , .
