Pollard Produces Child Plays.
Children of Hollywood, Cal., are
getting numerous treats from the pictures
being produced by Director
Henry Pollard with children chiefly
in the cast. Little Doris Baker, Gertrude
and Antrim Short and Joe Mattice,
Jr., are objects of wonderment
as they go through their scenes at
^ rim oc
V ate uumto.
A child said to little Joe, as he stood
with Mr. Pollard waiting for a car to
return to the studio, "My, but you are
a ragged hoy." The boy, with a look
of disdain, replied, "Hut, I guess you
don't know I'm an actor.' Director
Pollard had to spank his leading man,
Joe Mattice. Jr., (4 1-2 years old) the
other day when he was, and to severely
scold his neice, Katherine
Poyle, (51-2 years old) who plays
"heaviest" in this juvenile company,
when she insisted on laughing in the
wrong place.

The Gaumont. Co. were successful
in persuading the eminent actor, Sir
Johnston Forbes Robertsor, on the
eve of his retirement, to allow his
magnificent production of "Hamlet" to
be perpetrated upon the screen.
A large force has been working

and painting the beautiful scenery
which will be used for all the interior
scenes. Very elaborate preparations
are also being made at Bushey, where
there is some beautiful natural scenprv
which is Deculiarly suitable,
whilst a temporary outdoor studio
has been erected there in order to facilitate
the work. In addition to all
this, on the cliffs of LuLworth Cove
is being built a magnificent castle,1
which is to be an exact replica of the
famous old pile still standing in Denmark.
This is being erected absolutely
regardless of expense, the only condition
laid down for the builders being
