KALEM'S DETECTIVE COMEDY CAUSES "HAM" TO REMINISCE Desire To Be a Detective Dispelled By His Father One of Ham's greatest desires was realized the other day, when for a short time he became a detective. Perhaps it wasn't wholly realized, since his activities as a sleuth were confined to Kalem's newest "Ham" comedy, ~'Ham, the Detective." The famous Kalem comedian told of this ambition. The story took his listeners back to the days of Ham's youth. It revealed to them just how it happened that he now earns his daily bread as a comedian instead of a detective. "I had long cherished the desire to be a sleuth-a desire fostered by readinll such classics as 'Old Sleuth,' and 'Old Cap Collier,'" said Ilam in telling the story. "And, when it was discovered that some one had broken into 0 111· pantr~ and made away with a hucklellerry pie, a sponge cake and half a strawberry shortcake, I volunteered to solve the mystery and got 'lt down to work" "My father also ulHlertook to solve the mystery.

GUY COOMBS DOESN'T ~INE FOR SOLDIER'S CAREER Having Filmed Civil War Story, He Knows What Soldiers Must Endure "1N o," said Guy Coombs, one of the most popular of Kalem's leading men, the other day, "I don't yearn for the life of a soldier brave. I don't even envy the plaudits received by the hero who returns from the front, covered with medals and glory." "Why'? The answer is this. I have just finished a two-act story of the Civil V\l:lar. 'Rivals,' is the name of it, and the experiences that befell me while it was being produced, made me realize that a soldier's life isn't all medals and glory." "For instance,'' Mr. Coombs went on. "Some of Uie scenes of ' ivals' were taken in the rain. Well, we had to dig trenches and march through mud knee deep. It wasn't very long before we were all di:enche<l to the skin and conred with mud from head to foot. "And all the time we were at work, we knew that with nightfall, we could go back to our nice comfortable homes where a bath and clean clothes were waiting. 'Nice, big meals too! And then I thought of the life lead mreenough soldiers in the field! No, I don't envy the poor chaps out in the trenches. I encountered a verJ mild taste of it and can imagine what tlie real thing is like. You will see some of the things we had to do, when 'Riv,1ls,' is released Monday, May 24th." BREEZY NEWS NOTES FROM THE FIELD When it comes to serving a field gun, there are mighty few artillery men who can teach Anna Nilsson, Kalem's charming leading lady, anything about it. Miss Nilsson proves this in "Rivals,'' a two-act Civil War story. Iler work in the rear of a cannon routs a force of men who attack the Union camp. • • • According to Bud, the diminutive comedian who appears in Kalem's famous "Ilam" comedies, his work in "Ilam, the Detective," makes him mighty glad that he decided upon an actor's and not a detective's career, when he started out in the world. And photoplay patrons who see what poor Bud goes up against in this newest "Ham" comedy will agree that a detective, or a comedy detective at any rate, has a mighty strenuous time of it. * • * Fania Marinoff, the star who deserted the legitimate stage to appear in Kalem's three-act "Broadway Favorites" feature, "The Lure of Mammon," is of the opinion that a photoplayer's career has its drawbacks. It seems that one of the strong scenes in "The Lure of Mammon,'' shows Miss Marinoff •being washed ashore on a rocky coast. The day was chilly, the water ice cold and the current strong. What more need be said? • • • Tom Moore possesses the unique distinction of having succeeded where Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, failed. This occurred when the popular Kalem leading man induced the saloon keepers over in a small New Jersey town not far from Paterson, to close down. Of course, the saloons weren't closed for goodmerely long enough to enable Mr. Moore to film some scenes of the three-act drama, "Prejudice." The hero of this story is a young minister, and in the scenes referred to, he induces the saloon keepers to shut up shop. However, if Tom Moore, without previous experience, succeeded in closing saloons temporarily, perhaps under Billy Sunday's tutelage, he might be taught how to close them up fo1· keeps. • • • A telegraphers' organization out West has presented Miss Helen Holmes with a transmitter fashioned out of solid silver. With this gift, came a letter informing the heroine of Kalem's Hazards of Helen Railroad Series, that she had been elected honorary member of the organization. As is well known, Miss Holmes enacts the role of telegrapher in this series. The newest episode is "The Railroader's Bravery."
