SOCIETY NOTES. 
GOCIETY Amateur “Movies” have become the craze. 
The first of these society pictures was taken in Morris- 
town, N. J., about ten months ago. The next big society 
moving picture show was given in Philadelphia and from 
then on the idea has spread throughout the country. Last 
summer Newport, Bar Harbor, Lenox and Southhamp- 
ten went “movie” mad. Many ‘prominent men and women 
own complete outfits for taking and developing motion 
pictures, and some have special theatres on their estates 
tor the pictures. Among some of those who are extreme- 
ly interested are Hobart Chatfield-Taylor of Chicago, 
F’reston Gibson, Robert W. Goelet, Mrs. French Vander- 
Bilt, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Mr. and Mrs. George Jay 
Gould and Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs of New York. 
This winter New York’s annual charity affair given 
by the Junior League was a motion picture written and 
acted by the various members and given at the Waldorf- 
Astoria hotel. Chalmers Wood was in the cast. Mrs. 
Lydig Hoyt has been one of the popular “‘movie” stars in 
New York this winter. And now Palm Beach is “movie” 
mad. 
Never before have either professional or amateur 
actors and actresses chosen Palm Beach for the setting of 
real plays or for films intended only for private exhibi- 
tions. But hardly any day passes now that one does not 
see groups of them on the beach, posing in front of a 
handsome villa or acting scenes in palm sheltered gardens. 
The fad has taken hold of representatives of society. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gurnee Munn, who had their wedding 
ceremonies pictured in reels, are members of the winter 
colony here and are keenly interested in taking films and 
being in them. When a professional camera man set up 
ius machine on the fishing pier the other day and began 
to turn the crank Mr. and Mrs. Munn and their four 
dogs were on the beach enjoying a sun bath before taking 
a surf dip. They were in the picture. 
Charles A. Munn had a moving picture camera at 
Manchester last summer and it was in evidence at Singing 
Beach on numerous occasions. One Sunday morning 
was “staged” the thrilling (?) rescue of Mrs. Munn 
(Mary Astor Paul) from the surf and her “resuscitation” 
en the sands, with her friends grouped about. : 
Nothing so needs reforming as other people’s habits.
