An Amateur
Picture Play
Us Production Was Attended
With Difficulties.
By DWIGHT NORWOOD
When Daisy Allison, who had made
a hit 111 amateur theatricals, noticed in
u newspaper that film companies were
Inviting persons owning handsome
places to furnish scenarios for picture
plays, which the occupants were to
enact themselves In their own houses
and on their own grounds, she clapped
her hands In glee. What could be more
delightful than to organize a company
to enact a play, making n house party
of the actors and actresses? The sum
mer season was at hand. The (lowers
were blooming In the garden; uaturo
was ready to provide the scenery.
Miss Allison was aware that a plot
must be provided for the play and a
knowledge of Construction was requi
site. One of her acquaintances was a
playwright, and quite likely his serv
ices could be secured to get up a sce
nario. As for the actors and actresses,
Miss Allison's friends would be climb
ing over one another to secure invita
tions to the histrionic house party.
She entered upon her work at once,
her first act being to write a note to
Mr. Howard Ashley, a playwright,
stating her design and asking him If ho
would officiate In the construction of
the play. lie consented, stating that
he had a number of scenarios on hand
from which a selection, doubtless,
could be made and recommended that
the play bo decided on before the in
vitations were glveu out In order that
persons best fitted for the different
parts might bo included. Since Miss
Daisy herself had proved her ability as
flu actress she would, doubtless, be ex
pected to tako the leading lady's part
and a play should be chosen that would
be best suited to her abilities. Then,
too, the scenes should be fitted to tlio
Allisons' beautiful country place and
Its environs.
Ai^r. Asuiey suuuuueu
and one was deckled upon, tlie princi
pal scenes of which were laid in the
country home of the Earl of Peuiber
ton, an English nobleman. A synopsis
of the play is this: An American girl,
only child of a very rich man. goes to
England, where she visits the home of
another branch of her family among
the nobility. An Impecunious Euglish
lord (Axminster) attempts to marry her
for her money. Iler father, who is at
the head of a large manufacturing con
cern in America, seuds his right hand
man. Eben MacArthur, over to investi
gate the matter. He discovers that Ax
minster Is a fraud and exposes him.
The girl marries MacArthur, who takes
the place of a son to the manufacturer
and inherits, with his wife, the busi
ness.
Mr. Ashley, who was experienced
not only in the construction of plays,
but in choosing the scenes to bo pho
tographed, consented to take charge
of tli© v.hole affair, and nothing re
mained but to make up a list of names
of those who were to compose the com
pany and issue the invitations. The
cast of principal characters when com
pleted was as follows:
Lucinda Owens. Miss Allison; Lord
Axminster, Mr. Perkins; Ebeu MacAr
thur, Mr. Wilson; Gladys Pemberton.
Miss Stevens.
So great was the pressure for invita
tions that it was found necessary to
make a long list of dramatis personae.
though the four persons mentioned car
ried the play, it was also found nec
essary to bring in a number of the
neighboring country people for tenants
on the Pemberton estate.
When the guests arrived each was
furnished with a synopsis of the play,
and on the following morning the pho
tographing commenced.
Now, there would have been no trou
ble whatever in producing an attrac
tive play within a reasonable time had
the originals of the characters been in
different to one another. Unfortunate
ly Lucinda Owens (Miss Allisou) select
ed for the part of Eben MacArthur
Dick Wilson, with whom she was on
the eve of an engagement This was
all right considering the way the play
ended, but in the earlier stages she
was expected to treat him with dis
dain. Glalys Pemberton (Miss Ste
vens), who was supposed in the play to
be angling for Lord Axminster^ was
really a rival of Miss Allison for the
affections of Mr. Wilson, who played
the part o? Eben MacArthur.
One of the first scenes was an inter
view between Ebeu MacArthur and
Lucinda Owens, in which the gentle
man was to be treated with something
more than indifference. Unfortunate
ly the lady found it impossible to con
ceal her affection for him. Ten efforts
were made by the photographic artist
before a fair one was secured.
When Eben MacArthur arrived in
England he was received at the rem
berton manor house by Gladys Pember
ton, who was at the time enjoying a
tete-a-tete in the flower garden Vlth
Lord Axminster, for whom she was
supposed to be angling. Being a rival
of Lucinda Owens for the affections
of Eben MacArthur and having wit
nessed that lady's exhibition of a lik
ing for MacArthur, she was in a very
bad humor. She turned her back on
his lordship and, plucking a rose, pre
sented it to the newcomer from Amer
ica. A dozen photographs were made
of this scene before the lady could be
brought to enact it as intended—that
is, she was supposed to look opon Mac
Arthur as au uncultured American
backwoodsman aud act toward him ac
cordingly.
Sluco the cost of tbo photographs
was borne by the Illm company, their
manager began to fear that the ex
peuso of production would be too great
to warrant continuing the photograph
ing. He stopped work, but after Mr.
Ashley had lectured the actresses on
their behavior and they had promised
to ilo better in future the manager con
sented to proceed.
Eben MacArthur in the play wins
Lord Axmlnster's confidence in order
to expose his designs upon Lucinda
Owens' fortune, la the earlier scenes
ho is expected to show his lordship
much admiration. But In the real life
part these two men were rivals for the
hand of the hostess. Now, a photo
graph exaggerates an expression. The
result was that the films of these ear
lier sceues showed sufficient hatred on
the part of MacArthur toward his rival
to give away his detective purposes.
Again another halt was called by the
manager of the film company, and Mr.
Ashley lectured the actors in the same
strain lie had spoken to the actresses.
But by this time seven times the length
of film had been used that was ordina
rily necessary, and few of the scenes
between the principal characters had
been pictured satisfactorily. Indeed,
matters had come to such a pass that
Mr. Ashley, who was aware of the dif
ficulties underlying the ill success, de
clared that success In picture play
making with a company wherein there
were so much love and inordinate jeal
ousy Incompatible with the play must
result as it had begun—In failure—and
the attempt had better be discontin
ued.
However, .miss Daisy Allison, wnose
heart was set ou tlie enterprise and
whose pocfeetbook was well stocked,
agreed to stand the expense of mak
ing the photographs above a certain
amount, and after that the mana
ger of the film company was pacifled.
The only danger now was that the pa
tience of the photographer would give
out Nevertheless, the extra cost hav
ing been provided for, the production
of tho films proceeded, and four reels
were finished, if not satisfactorily, at
least the best that could be done under
the circumstances.
Sir. Ashley hoped that at the manu
facture of tho fifth and last reel the
actors and actresses would have come
Into such harmony In thelc parts that
the scenes would l>e sufficiently suc
cessful to cause audienccs to forget the
blemish of the earlier scenes. Eben
MacArthur shows up tho villainy of
Lord Axminster nnd, after an inter
view in a dramatic scene, points to the
door through which his lordship pass
es, cringing. Ashley dreaded this scene,
for by this time the rivalry between
tho two men iu the real life affair had
become extremely bitter. But the play
wright hoped for tho best
He was disappointed. Axminster,
who was left tackle In a football team,
becoming exasperated at the charges
of his rival, instead of slinking out un
der the torrent of invective took his
rival by the collar and the seat of his
trousers and threw him into a flower
bed.
The commotion timt touoweu mis
exploit was only allayed by tlic hostess
demanding an apology from the foot
ball man and a promise that he would
play Ills part ns was Intended for a
second picture, on pain of :i discon
tinuance of his acquaintance. This
brought him to terms, and films of the
scene were obtained which were at
least In accordance with the scenario.
There was more trouble among the
actresses. In the play Gladys Peuiber
tou wins the confidence of Lucinda
Owens in order to detach her from
Lord Axminster, and Lucinda does not
discover her treachery until the last
scene, when she upbraids her and steps
into an automobile with MacArthur to
go to n steamer to return to America.
When this scene came to be enacted
Lucinda's taunts had a similar effect
on Gladys to Mac-Arthur's 011 Lord Ax
minster. The chauffeur brought the
car up under the porte-cochere. Mnc
Arthur'-wns waiting at the car door for
Lucinda to finish her contemptuous re
marks to Gladys; but, getting tired of
waiting, he stepped Into the auto and
took |)ossessioii of a back seat Sud
denly Gladys made a dash for the auto,
jumped in and shut the door. The
chauffeur, hearing the slam, took it for
a signal to depart, put on the clutch
and went rolling away with the wrong
woman.
Had not this inordinate display of
Jealousy occurred in the very last scene
the play would never have been finish
ed. Lucinda, who had been left on the
piazza by her rival, stamped her foot
and gave other evidence of vludlctlve
ness. The photographer, whose pa
tience had already been exhausted,
stormed; the manager of the film com
pany clapped his hat on his head, thus
signifying that he was through with
the affair, while Ashley ran down the
roadway calling lustily for the chauf
feur to stop.
Nothing but the fact that the scene
was the last to be enacted saved the
play from oblivion. As It was, a sec
ond picture was not made till after an
hour's wrangle, and then half a dozen
attempts were made before one was
completed that would do at all. As
soon as it was accomplished the party
broke up in a cyclone, the guests de
parting by afternoon trains, thus leav
ing a score of empty covers on a din
ner table at which the completion of
the play was to have been celebrated.
There Is mnch in picture plays that
Is not dependent on the moods of the
performers. The scenery in Miss Alli
son's play was very beautiful, the cos
tumes of the actresses were artistic
combinations, and the actresses were
high bred women. Perhaps It Is these
elements that made the play, after all,
a success. i
