CurranThe Artist’s Friends.....................George Marlow.............Bert Delaney“Inspiration” is a picture which constitutes something new in film-dom. The spectator is taken behind the scenes in a sculptor’s studio and there is permitted to witness as much as the censors would allow. As bald as the statement sounds there is nothing offensive portrayed. Audrew Munson’s grace and pure beauty justify the producer in presenting what otherwise might have been a mere gross exhibition.Miss Munson does not pretend to be an actress, though she acquits herself with credit. The most sensational and really interesting feature of the picture shows the method employed by sculptors in making a plaster cast of the human figure. According to explanatory subtitles this is an uncomfortable ord#al and requires pluck and nerve on the part of the model. The weight of the plaster of paris becomes burdensome and the heat is almost unbearable. Nevertheless Miss Munson smiles bravely throughout it all. Another scene shows the making of a cast of the head and finally the completed figure is shown.Incidental to the story, which hasto do with the search of a young sculptor for an ideal model, views of famous statues for which Miss Munson has posed are displayed. Many of these are at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Another is that of the central figure of the Maine monument in Central Park, NewYork.In “Inspiration” are combined the mechanics of a sculptor’s studio and a charming romance of an artist and his model. There were those who said it could not be done. But Thanhouser has up and done it.”The officers and men of the Illinois Naval Reserves will be the guests of the Triangle management at the Studebaker Theater to-night, where they will witness the antics of Syd Chaplin on board one of Uncle Sam’s submarines.Miss Stella Hammerstein, daughter of Oscar Hammerstein, the operatic impresario, has signed a contract to appear in motion pictures with the Gaumont Company. Her first appearance will be in a picture entitled “The Ace of Death.” She is now in Jacksonville, Fla., where it is being filmed.“Goldie Locks and the Three Bears” will be the fairy tale picture which will be shown next Saturday morning at the children’s entertainment at the Strand Theater. Other features of the program will be “The Little Shepherd” and a comedy of monkeys. The performance begins at 10:30 o’clock.The pro rata number of scen-arios which have been written sincemoving pictures achieved general popularity equals one for every three inhabitants of the UnitedStates, according to Gilson Willets, novelist and photoplaywright. The author is preparing an article which, he says, will reveal the secret of successful scenario writing.Vivian Reed’s face was a familiar public sight long before she became a moving picture star. She was an artist’s model and her face has adorned millions of calendars.
