How an artist, a magician and a circus man all became millionaires

[graphic]

One of the fascinatingly American phases of the motion picture business lies in the fortunes that have been made by those who got in on the "ground floor." Nothing shows this better than the story of J. Stuart Blackton, "the Belasco of the picture plays," who formerly was a crayon artist on a lyceum circuit, and his two partners, a former magician and a former circus man. The story of how they combined their interests and talents and formed one of the biggest of the present day picture play concerns is only one of the clever and interesting stories in The June Blue Book Magazine's up-to-the-minute Motion Picture Department.

Here are some of the other interesting features:

The story of a man who leaps from bridges
and cliffs just as a part of the day's work.
A vivid descriptive article about the big
picture-play "plants" around Los Angeles.
An article introducing to you the highest paid
and most pictured man in the "game.'
How actual historical scenes are reproduced
for staging a big picture play.

The story of a woman who thinks nothing
of swimming a torrent for a photoplay.
A"line" on the salaries the various players and
'supes' get for their work before the camera.
How the bible is being drawn upon to satisfy
the constant cry for novelty in the pictures.
A successful actress' view of picture play-
ing as a means of livelihood.

There are pictures in profusion and all the intimate details
you want to know about the picture play people

-and all this in addition to the Blue Book Magazine's

From "Le Petit Phare de Nantes," Paris

"But today I found I had to talk with Saint-Malo, and wishing to be put through quickly, I had my name inscribed on the waiting list first thing in the morning; the operator told me-though very amiably, I must confess-that I would have to wait thirteen hours and ten minutes (you are reading it right) in order to be put through."

Herr Wendel, in The German Diet.

"I refer here to Freiberg. There the entire telephone service is interrupted at 9 o'clock p. m. Five minutes after 9 o'clock it is impossible to obtain a telephone connection.
