Yet Sait Lake hat no monopoly in Hollywood, although it so looks. So Elmer baa beam chosen to tell the world that, and be 'a a good teller. It wae back la 1S99 that Elmer, newspaper, maa out of a Job, -but with a better pny-eheejs right at haad ia bin talent for the stage, came to Lot Angeles. There htd been fond family farewells, with Elmer vowing to hia mother, Hr a Anna Muiloy, to be 1 or continue to be good man.

QO WHEN Elmer arrived nnd found Holly hod na yet had not been esref foundad, what did he dot Become a Hollywood press spent Never; for he remembered his promise to bis piother. So for himself he got job with the theatrical troupe of Tim Iran ley, impresario, whose tours around the far west and to the orient are as well known as are thoee of Mr. Thomas Cook, who personally conducts rubbernecks through tha ruiaa and menus of Europe in a single and all for a (to an American) modest sum. Well, Elmer was great as a Tim Frawlev trouper jind as lesding mta did plain nnd fancy emoting all the wav from San Ihego to Spokane and from San Francisco to Denver. Several years be did this, and then Carl Laemml, one dav in Chicago, sjicnt five cents to hear some alleged music sad see some alleged pictures skipping one after another across a sheet.

lie walked out it was the biggest nickels worth he ever got, and thereupon the motion picture industry was born. But Hollywood came some years alter that, and it was not until shortly before the outbreak of the world war that the embryonic film community got a dateline telliug of divorce, upon the metropolitan first page, and, simultaneously, a piece of Mall Street ebauge with which to make picture. A ND, after this, or these, Elmer, step son the late Thomas F. Muiloy, well known Balt Lake contractor, came, lie came at about the time James Cruze Arrived. You see, even then tluugs bad been shaping so that Balt Lake should some day grab off most of tne glory and gam of Hollywood, although then Hollywood wasp't as much as a prayer meeting on a dark and stormy night.

If wu Id 1018," after Pershing li ad i 3, rr re here, Lafayette that the Bait Lake actor and one time Balt Lake star reporter stole his stuff by walking in on Elliott J. Clawson, then scenario editor at I'niv trial City, and saying: Im here; whata scenario between old friends, anyhow! It wasnt anything, but the loul discovery was made that the Universal scenario department was mannad by nine med and that eight of thaa wgre from Balt Laks to wit: Clawson, Harvey Gatys, LeRoy Armstrong, Waldemar Young, George W. ivper, George Hull, the late Uene Lewis nnd Fred K. My ton. Bo, to hide tne scandal, the department waa enlarged to ten men by adding Ellsworth.

COR while Elmer read scenarios, or things of fearful aud wonderful construction which had been classified as sienarios. His, bright, dis-eerninj evs soon told hun that much of this material was all to the Swiss aheeseiwlth most of the literary merit restricted to the holes. Thereupon Elmer was thanked, set to work at writing bigger and better scenarios. He did so well at thia that soon he wae assigned to writing title, and as a title writer be was so good that when liarrv Carey passed out in a picture (the original one with A sad endind) the titles that indicated his soul was being wafted on were so good the electricians laughed, outright. Thereupon, Elmer got mad so mad that he 'went to work with Paul Powell, a Universal director who used to be a' city ball reporter for a Los Angeles paper, and proceeded to make The Blinding Trail, with Monroe Salisbury (from Balt Lake) as the leading man whose wife or sweetie waa stolen from right before hia sightless eye by the villaLn, Arthur Maud.

Helen Jerome Eddy waaa the stolen sweet, and wheit the Universal mogul whose job It was explaining to Carl Ldemmle bow and for what his money was being spent looked at the pietur in the projection room he just yelled to open all the doors and windows. At this Elmer got madder still. When he had cooled off and tb doors and windows again had been closed, his great resolve crystallized in the form of a picture starring, or featuring, Mary MacLaren. Elmer made it as a study in feminism, and it waa coldly leceWed by tb electricians, this aarpenters and the film cutters, the latter of whom recommended cutting Mary a film throat and leaving the celluloid corpse upon the cutting room floor, where, just )ik in the old days of braes rails, faces used to stare up at a man. OUT Elmer, by remaining np all night, saved his child, and it went ba- fore the great paying public for the ultimate decision.

The Weaker Vessel, it waa eallea--a title that, for box office charm, would drive away dealer ia old bottles, rags, newspapers, or what have yoa! However, Charley Chaplin happened to ba down town and free of tny matrimonial entanglements that night, and, noting the title, which sounded high-brow to him, thought would taka a ehaacs with ons of hia well-known nickela It was a most fortunate investment. After the showing of the scant reels, ths grest eomediaa sought out Elmer and told him waa wasting kls tims at Universal and to rome over and work for him. Next Monday morning Elmer wae on the Chaplin pay roll. There he remained for a long tune, comparatively, and when he nod Chaplin finally parted company, in oo far as working together was concerned, Elmer -went home with a bonus check from Charley which wae in itself a nice little fortune. While at Chaplin Mr.

Ellsworth wrote the first draft of the femona Kid, starring Jackie Coogan. and also ditected Jackie in thu picture. From Chaplin, Mr. Ellsworth went to tho Lasky studios, aa a sort of combination assistant to Cruse. Sometime he helped prepare the scripts and sometimes he 'acted This was his double role in The Covered Wagon.

At proaent Mr. Ellsworth is preparing a number of original stories for the screen. Tha on immediately engaging bia attention has, na ha central theme, amneaia. Mrs. Ellsworth it tho former Miss Lneille Gilmer, daughter of the lato 3.
