Mabel Julienne Scott (1918) 🇺🇸

Mabel Julienne Scott, now appearing before the camera as leading woman in Reclaimed, which is being produced by Harry McRae Webster Productions, was born and educated in Minneapolis. Her mother is French and her father Norwegian. After completing her course in the university she took a two-years’ course in dramatic art and appeared in a series of amateur plays for charity.

After overcoming parental objections she joined a stock company in Denver, remaining all the season. She then appeared in stock in Kansas City, Omaha and Detroit, her talent finally winning for her leading roles. She also appeared for a season as leading woman with Fiske O’Hara, and was then featured in vaudeville in The Intruder.

Since entering the motion picture field she has appeared in several productions, including the Rex Beach production, The Barrier, in which she was cast as Necia and made a lasting reputation. Recently she was featured in The Sign Invisible.

Miss Scott is five feet six inches tall and has beautiful auburn hair. She is fond of outdoor sports, particularly horse-back riding. She plans eventually to return to the stage, and believes that the combination of stock company and screen experience is an ideal one to bring success on the stage.

Lubin and Ennis Start on Petrova Picture Tour

Will visit all First National Exchanges — take complete line of advertising aids and accessories to assist exhibitors.

Herbert Lubin, personal representative for Olga Petrova, accompanied by Bert Ennis, director of publicity for the Petrova Picture Company, left New York on March 26 for a tour of the exchanges of the First National Exhibitors’ Circuit, which is handling the productions in which Madame Petrova has appeared under the banner of her own organization, namely Daughter of Destiny, The Light Within and The Life Mask.

Mr. Lubin will carry a personal message from the star to exchange-men and exhibitors, and will also make a study of conditions surrounding the presentation of these features so as to be in position to render valuable service. He is said to be well qualified for this task, having been a franchise holder of the Metro in Canada for several years, and is not a member of the firm of General Enterprises, Inc.

Mr. Ennis will carry out the working details of the recently established service bureau. He will take along an extensive line of accessories, and will concentrate a strong publicity campaign on various sections. In addition, Mr. Ennis is taking with him an advertising novelty which it is claimed will serve to attract the attention of many people who have been but slightly interested in motion pictures.

Extensive billboard campaigns will be carried out in the important cities; an attractive twenty-four sheet having been prepared.

Starting at Boston, the itinerary calls for visits to Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Louisville, Indianapolis’, St. Louis, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Dallas, and other points in the South will be visited, the trip finally extending to the Pacific Coast.

Orringer Buys “Zongar” Territory.

Jacob Orringer, 804 Penn avenue, Pittsburgh, has purchased the state rights for western Pennsylvania and West Virginia on Zongar, the five-part feature produced by Physical Culture Photo Plays, Inc., under the supervision of Bernarr Macfadden. Zongar is said to be considered one of the most sensational and actionful pictures ever produced. George Larkin, its star, performs one hazardous feat after another with thrilling effect. Mr. Orringer, always on the look out for a novelty picture which he might market as a “special” readily seized upon Zongar when it was shown him by a representative of the Physical Culture Company. Mr. Orringer, while comparatively new in the film exchange end of the business, has been successfully engaged in exploiting small productions in his territory for the past year. He entered the motion picture business as an exhibitor when the two reeler was considered a feature. Recently he has adopted the policy of concentrating on at least one “special” feature a month.

“Life or Honor?” a “New Policy” Ivan.

Keen interest on the part of exhibitors is said to have followed the trade showing of Ivan’s newest release, Life or Honor? The verification, contained in the reviews of the trade journals, of the claim by the producers that with Life or Honor? the New-Policy-Pictures of Ivan Film Productions had their initiation seems to be responsible for the fact. While the laudatory remarks of the motion picture press are much appreciated, the producers desire it to be known that Life or Honor? is only the beginning of extraordinary effort to be made by the producing company. Two entirely “so different” productions are soon to be announced, productions which the Ivan people claim to be worthy of the often misused name “super-feature.” I. E. Chadwick’s policy of using the directorial staff alternately will assure variety.

Eastern Feature Film Co. of Boston reports excellent progress in booking Life or Honor? Just concluding a satisfactory run covering the entire Poll circuit, Mr. Rifkin, general manager of Eastern Films, is congratulating himself on the success of the spring drive he made with the latest Ivan, and records 43 days of solid advance booking. Merit Film Corporation of New York reports are equally encouraging, Life or Honor? having been booked to the Marcus Loew circuit as well as to some of the smaller circuits lately organized. Super Film Attractions of Syracuse, Ohio Ivan Distributors of Cleveland, V. Hoddupp of Indianapolis, M. & R. Features of San Francisco, announce release date of Life or Honor? for week of April 1.
