K. CASSADY, B. S. M. S., Chief Chemiu Dear Madam: OUR husband knows me the chief chemist at Palmolive. I have just given him a new delight; a gentler, quicker shaving cream. Now I have as great a joy for you. A gentle shampoo — olive oil! — that does not make hair dry and brittle, that leaves it soft and gleaming. The favor I ask is that you try it. And then give me your opinion. I Asked 1000 Women Recently I asked over iooo wo- men what they wanted most in a shampoo. They named but one require- ment. But as yet had failed to find it: A thorough cleanser that would take out all grime and foreign matter — yet which would not take away the life and lustre that adds so much to charm. Scores of scalp experts agreed. They said ordinary shampoos were too harsh. And advised the oil shampoo — but made a point of olive oil. So the Olive Oil Shampoo Now I offer you the olive oil shampoo — world famous — for you to use at home. After the ordinary harsh sham- poo, results will be a revelation. You will note them in your mir- ror. Your friends will note them. And then you will do as thou- sands have done — thank me for a new delight. PALMOLIVE SHAMPOO ,-• e> <~cptrl*kt W» -Th.

Belasco. — Lenore Ulric in "Kiki," David Belasco's pro- duction of his own piquant adaptation of Andre Picard's French farce. Miss Ulric scores one of the big hits of the season with her bril- liant playing of a little gamine of the Paris music halls. You will love Kiki as you loved Peg — but differently. A typically excellent Belasco cast. Booth. — The "heaven'' in "The Seventh Heaven" is the top floor of a Montmartre tenement in Paris. It is a story of love and regeneration with touches of humor and unreality. Helen Menken gives an excellent performance. Broadhurst. — 'Whispering Wires." One of the numerous mystery plays now trying to puzzle Broadway. This one succeeds. Casino. — "Wildflower," with Edith Day. The music is exquisite.

Century. — In "The Lady in Ermine" we have a musical comedy with a plot that it follows effectively or comes back to after each departure as if it really meant to be something more than vaudeville. The ac- tion concerns a romantic legend about an ancient European castle. Wilda Bennett as the heroine sings charmingly. Century Roof. — "The Chauve-Souris" of Nikita Balieff and his Russian entertainers from Moscow. Fourth bill. Better than ever. Cohan. — "The Exile." A romantic comedy by Sidney Toler featuring Eleanor Painter and Jose Ruben. Comedy. — "Anything Might Happen." Delightful comedy with Estelle Winwood and Roland Young.

Glenn Hunter and Florence Nash are perfectly cast as the hero and heroine. Earl Carroll. — "The Gingham Girl." A very tuneful, interesting musical comedy with a chorus of eight lively flappers. Helen Ford is the gingham girl, and Eddie Buzzell furnishes the comedy. A triumph of quality over quantity. Eltinge.- — "Morphia" is a play that acts as a vehicle for Lowell Sherman to give a realistic portrayal of a drug fiend. Empire. — -"Zander the Great." Alice Brady's return to the stage.

We hope you will not overlook the fact that, after all, the remedy is in your hands. If there is any other phase of the moving picture industry yoti would like to have discussed, let us know. We'll see Mr. Leeds. JL'ST as there is a remedy for everything from spring fever to Ben Turpin's shortcomings as a romantic lead, so also there is a cure for censorship. Like all diseases, however, it requires diagnosis. Examined thoughtfully, it discloses to us, its doctors and physicians, two important aspects. It is either: ( 1 ) A menace to entertainment ; or (2) An attempt to- lessen the free spread of information, an attempt to curtail freedom of thought, and hence a thing political in its nature to be remedied by the voters of the republic. In short, the remedy lies in your hands. If you are movie fans, you are voters, too, hut politics is a matter, first, of argument, and, secondly, of organization. The argument in favor of censorship is that pictures of an un- fortunate moral tone have from time to time been offered the public. That this, if it ever happened really, might not happen again, the picture producers themselves set up the Honorable Will H. Hays as a boss. That the pro- duction of pictures over which honest people may differ was usually the work of fly-by-nighters who sneaked into the game and sneaked out with their clean-up is not so generally understood. Xor is it clear, generally speaking, that for such dis- agreeable occurrences there was a cure without resort to censorship. Granting that an immoral picture ever was shown li these United States of America, to end its run required only an appeal to the courts. Any citizen could go in a id make that appeal and get immediate action. Citizens who do not like the movies have searched end- lessly f' *.- IMiotograph by Abbe Dorothy Gish longs to be anything but an actress ... a cook maybe in a family where they are all compelled to fast on a hot water diet K£y~ Mary wants to be is a painter. In her soul hunger moments she sees herself standing in front of an easel, a palette on one little thumb, perhaps her hair mussed up a little and a little smudge of paint across her face and a queen sitting on the throne to be painted.

Gosh ! D. W. Griffith has always cherished a secret ambition to be a great orator, swaying the masses by his voice. His favorite characters in all history are men like Danton who have held mobs in the hollow of their hands. The only trouble is they have always been revolutionists. If D. W. could only find something eminently re- spectable as befitting a Kentucky gentleman to sway them about. The only outlet he can find for swaying is putting skids under cen- sorship. The truth is, he could do it too. Griffith has an almost hypnotic power over men. The only trouble is, in his case, the mob swaying days of the world seem to be over — for Kentucky gentlemen. Lillian Gish has a peculiar dream that occasionally af- flicts her when things go wrong in the studio. Now this is a funny one. She would like to be the lady principal of a girls' college. She can see herself starkling on the platform and dis- coursing to a thrilled and excited group of attentive young ladies upon the peculiarities of the dative case as used by Cicero in his famous orations. And she can see herself getting letters from former pupils telling her that all their successes in life have come from the sweet lessons she imparted to them in the use of the cum clause in rela- tion to the subjunctive mood. Dorothy wants to be anything except an actress. She confesses that every time something slips the trolley during the making of a picture, she grabs up the Sunday paper and reads the "want" columns. She says she has dis- covered that the only thing she could do except act would be to get a job as cook in a family where they are fasting on a hot water diet. Dorothy's husband — James Rennie — he's another yearner. One of the best juvenile actors in the world, he considers his job to be only a means to an end. What James wants to do is run a newspaper.

Louise Fazenda ... it means nothing in her life to be the funniest woman on the screen. What she wants to do is to have a ranch in Cali- fornia and be married to some nice man who understands pruning young orange trees and not to have worry about getting fat. She says that she will be happy when she over- hears some one say (as she comes to town from her ranch) "Good heavens! There's that fat Fazenda woman. She's had another baby." Louise is quite likely to fulfil her ambition insofar as owning a ranch is con- cerned. A flock of ranches maybe. Louise is a miraculously successful investor.

He is wholesome, with a vitality that keeps that sanity and sense he possesses in so brave a measure from ever be- ing dull.

Better photography and more acute di- rection. The only radical change I note is the gener- osity with footage. One is really given a chance now — that is — time to register an emotion.

England is awakening, is now very much awake, and I have noticed, amongst others presented during the last four weeks, three pictures of decided merit, one of which contains scenes which might even bear the signature of D. W. Griffith. One must certainly remember that Miss Mae Marsh who plays the lead in it, is American, but the producer is British and he has succeeded in making one of the best pictures England has so far produced. The title of the picture is "Paddy-the-next-best-thing." The other two pictures are "A Royal Divorce" of which I spoke in detail in my last article, and "The Virgin Queen" the new color film directed by J. Stuart Black- ton. Both are well pro- duced and can favorably compare with the best pro- ductions of today. Let me just mention that "The Prodigal Son" from the book by Sir Hall Caine, and which has just been presented to the Press at the Covent Garden Theatre. London, is the longest pic- ture made in England ; as the producer wished, con- trary to the usual custom, to follow page by page all the incidents of the book and reproduce them on the screen. . I repeat, it is cer- tainly the longest English picture, but the few inter- esting dramatic scenes are lost in the 17,000 feet of film. FRANCE When Henry Diamant- Berger was on location recently completing the sequel to "The Three Musketeers," he paid a visit, with some members of his company, to the great French tragedienne, Mme. Sarah Bernhardt. It was then announced that she would appear in a film directed by Diamant- Berger. It will be remembered that Sarah Bernhardt appeared in two or three films made before and during the war, amongst which are "Tosca" and "The Story of Queen Elizabeth." A friend of mine who approached the secretary of the Paris Theatre belonging to Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, told me that he did not think that the celebrated actress would be able to work at all for the cinema owing to her health which has given her much trouble of late. * Among the latest important French films pre- sented is "La Bouquetiere des Innocents" which is a historical film of the time of Henry IV.

The scenario is written bj the well-known Swedish author Hjalma Bergman who is also well known in many other countries his hook "Love's Crucible." The action of "Fire on Board" takes place in great part on hoard a ship and is full of dramatic excitement. It is a story of the fight of two men for a woman. ( hving to the limited space it has thru the fact that the action is going on within the rails oi the ship, the picture has a fascinating grip on the spectators. The part of the film where the ship is sink- ing is very sensational and is likely to be unique in the history of the film. The leading artists are Matheson Lang, the well known English stage actor, Victor Seastrom, and Mrs. Jenny Hasselqvist. the latter the greatest Swedish trage- dienne. During the present year, the Svenska Filmindustri will make a considerably greater number of films than before. The staff of Swedish actors is increased and furthermore the im- portant Russian film man Dimitri Buchowetzki, the producer of "Danton" which was shown in America under the title of "All For A Woman" has been engaged. The scenario of one of the films which Buchowetzki is going to make has been written by himself in col- laboration with the Hungarian author Alfred Lekete. The name of this film will be "The Masquerade of Life" and will show the in- dividual struggle for happiness, gold and love. RUSSIA One seems to ignore what is done in Russia with respect to pictures. Since we heard of Soviet Russia, we have not heard- very much about the cinema industry there. I am informed that during the months in which poverty- reigned a society called "Russ" was formed and different pictures made. All of these photo- plays deal more with Russian customs and habits than anything else and are consequently- very characteristic.

"Whist now, Alannah. howld yer peace. I'll be \vi' ze." Dancing up and down before him in a whirl of excite- ment was Patsy, his daughter. Tears stained her cheeks but laughter curled her lips. She scowled and smiled with one motion. Only the Irish can do this. "They do be taking all our things father — the sheriff and the landlord and two dirty spalpeens from up Darragh way — your great big chest, father is gone — divvle a chair to sit on or bed to sleep in will be left to us — haste father " "Mind yer tongue, lass." her father answered stepping swiftly toward her. " 'Dirty spalpeen' and 'divvle' is divvle a word for a lady to use. But what for are ye smilin' whin such misfortune comes to yer owld father?". "Oh this letter," Patsy answered waving a bulky en- velope toward him. "It seems like good news but Pat nor me — nor I — cant understand it altogether." And good news it was; just in time too for all sorts of reasons. John O'Day's brother had died over in America, which was no particular loss to John for they had been estranged for a great many years. But his brother was a rich man and he had left all his vast fortune to John's son Patrick; instead of leaving it to his second wife and her son who had come between the brothers long ago, and (Twenty-seven) for whom old John cherished a deathless enmity. This was mighty good luck for John; for John had fallen foul of the world of wealth and ease and had spent his life in impracticable dreams of Irish freedom and Irish progress and with typically Irish sentiment had overl' oked en- tirely his own freedom and progress. Ireland must be- free, but it didn't matter so much that his children were often close to starving and cold with neglect. Patricia was a hardy youngster and had survived but Patrick who was ailing from birth was now a helpless invalid. O'Day's household goods meagre tho they were, were to be sold at auction for his debts on this pleasant summer day in the year of Our Lord 1820. With the arrival of the letter from Xew York he let them go cheerfully. Lamentations were turned into rejoicing and for the first time in John O'Day's life some practical plan was on foot for hastening them to America. They had need for haste, because by the terms of the will which provided that in the event of the non-appearance of Patrick ( ►'Day, the money was to revert to his stepson. Larry Delavan. the time had almost e'apsed for claiming the fortune. Unfortunately much valuable time had been lost while the lawyer had dug them out from their obscurity. Larry Delavan stared suspiciously at the two figures who stood somewhat dubiously before him in the hall of his spacious New York residence. CLASSIC Larry Delavan stared suspiciously at the two odd figures before him. "We be John O'Day and his da — son, Pat," the old man muttered, "and we've come over the sea from Ireland to claim yer stepfather's fortune. I hev all the proofs in me coat. What's to do now?" The younger one only stared back "We be John O'Day and his da — son, Pat," the old man muttered, "and we've come over the sea from Ireland to claim yer stepfather's fortune. I hev all the proofs here in me coat. What's to do now?" "Good Lord ! I dont know," ejaculated the young Delavan ungraciously, shaking a mental fist at this malign trick of fate's that had cheated him out of his stepfather's rich inheritance at the last minute. "I suppose you'll have to stay here. I'll have Reilly show you to a — to your room." "Father," cried the young Pat bursting into tears when they were safely behind the door, "I can never do it. You shouldn't have asked me to — Such a handsome young man — such a fine gentleman — and it's really his money. We haven't any right to it. We " "Howld yer tongue," John O'Day interrupted angrily. "Is it our fault yer brother Pat died on shipboard? God rest his soul !" he added hastily blessing himself piously. "He's better off all dead than half dead, Patsy child, ye're after knowin' that. Yer uncle's yer own ain't he? Blood kin? We're entitled to his money, but even if we ain't, we be going to claim it. So now ye are Patrick O'Day, nephew to the late lamented. Whin ye git the money ye can do as it plazes ye. Come cheer up Colleen, no more tantrums and bad scran to the Delavan !" So here was a sorry situation, not to say perilous. Unwelcome guests in an unwelcome masquerade. Un- welcome masquer- ade to Patricia anyway, who woman - like and characteristically Irish had Compli- cated matters by promptly falling in love with the handsome, sulky, reckless Larry. Being a boy under the circumstances was a handicap to say the least . . . but still if she had stayed a girl she wouldn't — couldn't be near him at all, which fact somewhat compensated for the hateful trousers. It was hard re- membering tho. The im puisne to snuggle against Larry was at times almost irre- sistible, but boys didn't do that. She spent hours brushing out her short jonquil yel- low hair whose sacrifice she still wept over in se- cret. Boys cer- tainly didn't do that". She had tried to smoke too, one of the long slender pipes the young bloods of the day were affecting ; but it had made her fearfully ill and young Fitzgreen Halleck and Washington Irving, Larry's cronies had laughed at her and she had stamped her foot and run out of the room. In retrospect it hadn't seemed a par- ticularly virile or manly performance. She must be more careful. Hang the old money anyway . . . Larry hated her for an interloper. But when old John O'Day begrudgingly died and she was left utterly alone Larry Delavan had a change of heart. He saw in her then only a helpless forlorn lonely youngster in a foreign land, grieving for the only one who was dear to her. He was kind to her then, and Pat came so near to giving herself away that she was on the point of confessing the truth a dozen different times. But it was wonderful to have money. It provided endless entertainment and after her first tearful grief Pat began to liven up again and be her own cheerful saucy dare devil self. Larry was her gravest care. He spent most of his time gambling and drinking, attending prize fights and balls with equal ardor. There was one mincing miss just home from London that Pat hated with all her heart. Her name was Ariana de Puyster and Larry loved her — or at least Pat thought he did. She played the piano, "Maiden's Prayer" and "Hearts and Flowers" and that sort of thing. Very sentimental. Larry seemed to like them tho. So Pat unpacked her harp that she hadn't touched since she had left the old country. (Twenty-eight) She used to ^ihk in a sweet throat) soprano "I he harp that once thru I ara's halls The soul of mu>iL' shed ; Now hangs ai mute on rara'a walls, Vs tlio that soul were dead." She really played it remarkably well and she had an inexhaustible repertoire ol old Irish ballads and folk songs, plaintively melancholy, as her countrj and its people are at heart, for all the comic opera Irishmen one reads and hears about. Sometimes she would twang the strings suddenly and unexpectedly into one of the rollick- ing Irish jigs. Every me loved Pat but no one could ever tell what she was going to do next. Larry seemed to like her playing too. Because, once when Miss Betty Schuyler whom Pat also detested, was giving a party at her big house across the lawn from Larry's, and Ariana was playing sweet- ly on the piano for the assem- bled guests in general and Larry in particular. Larry had sneaked back across the lawn to listen to Pat playing her wistful Irish melodies and hoping he would come. She almost told him that night. He stood at the gate looking very hard at her and she trembled inside scarce daring to breathe. "You're a queer one, Pad- dy." he said, "nice little kid. I'm awfully fond of you." And "I love, love, love you." Pat's heart was sighing so loud she thought he must hear it, and blushed and ran away. "Just like a girl !" she thought afterwards. "He's just stupid not to know it." But Pat was afraid now for the falsehoods she was involved in and held her peace as best she might. At about this time Robert Fulton was going to launch his first steam boat. Wise heads wagged and said it couldn't be done, but the reckless foolish ones were crazy to invest their money in the venture. Larry Delavan was one of these. The only trouble was he didn't have any money to put up. Whereupon Pat gaily hood- winked her lawyer, old John Jacob Astor into giving her ten thousand dollars, a goodly sum for those days, and promptly offered it to Larry. To Larry's everlasting credit and Pat's intense chagrin he refused to take it. She almost wept. "Such a pretty trick I played on old Astor, to get it," she wailed. "Neat as Sunday pants. And now you go and act uppity. You're a hateful old thing and I — "Why Paddy, boy," the bewildered I ai "I didn't knOW you fell ll wh.it I'll do i live iik- five boi i iw ii i"i five days an.

Cdor"ia started to sit down, then changed her mind and moved over to a far table. From the expression on her face it was plain that somebody in the dining-room was having the most famous back in the world turned on him — or- her. "Whatever you write about me." she said, picking out the salad fork. "Dont say anything about my clothes." "What's the matter with the clothes'" "Nothing is the matter with my clothes," -aid Gloria indignantly, glancing at the fur wrap she had thrown hack over her chair.

This picture is from one of Gloria's not particularly recent photoplays but we have used it because it seems to us to represent more perfectly than we can put into words the gorgeous luxuriousness and alluring beauty of this radiant woman Thirty-three) Nobody found out just what she would do "At any rate, you wouldn't want to go back and be a Sennett bathing girl again. . . ." Gloria looked up suddenly. "I learned a lot from being a Sennett bathing girl." "About swimming?" "No. About acting. Comedy is a won- derful training. You have to get the points over so clearly. You exaggerate everything ; but in exaggeration, you learn just where the finished line has to go. Afterward, when you undertake another kind of acting, you can tone down your effects. It's like these artists who draw pictures with a few dabs and lines. They only learn to do that after they have mastered the art of the finished picture. The art of leaving out is the last touch you learn." Gloria smiled at a recollection that flashed across her memory. "I remember when I left the Sennett comedies. There was just one day too many of dodging pies CLASSIC and being hit with water from hoses and going around bare legged. I simply walked out. Then 1 came over to the Lasky studio. Mr. Cecil de Mille saw me and gave me a part in 'Male and Female.' The first thing I had to do was to take off most of my clothes and scramble into the water again. I thought I had left the frying pan for the fire." "But you learned about acting from Cecil." "Indeed I did. I learned that the way to act is not to act. I learned that the less you actually do, the more you convey." Suddenly, out of a clear sky, Gloria remarked : By way of a pleasant contrast to the picture on the other page are these three informal studies.

There is no such thing as a good man or bad man. There are simply men who re-act differ- ently to different situations." "Well, us authors must have our vil- ains.

Fhotograph by Melbourne Spurr, L. A. Py^OR, "one may smile and smile, and be a villain!'' IH So said Billy Shakespeare long, long ago — and the words were echoed by Henry King, the suc- cessful motion picture director of "Tol'able David," ^nd other large productions in Hollywood, as he sent for Ernest Torrence, prominent comedian of musical comedy farne in New York. Thus a wonderfully fine comedian was submerged by the cruel and domineering heavy of "Tol'able David," and Mr. Torrence planted himself firmly in the depths of motion picture endeavors. "It had always been my dream, my greatest desire. from the time of my arrival in America in 1911, to enter motion picture work," said Mr. Torrence as we sat in his cozy Holly- , wood bungalow and he explained how the speaking stage had lost a fun-maker, and the silver sheet gained a heavy.

Mr. King's answer was an ex- pression of the firm belief that before a man can be a real actor he must have been a comedian. "As I see it now," continued Mr Tor- rence, "Comedy and Tragedy are but twin souls in the art of acting. It is only a step around the corner to go from a laugh- provoking old character into a hateful, despicable one."

"I hope he attended the opening performance of Tol'able David." said charming, little Mrs. Torrence, who had sat quietly during our in- terview. "I was actually afraid of the man Ernest seemed to be on the screen. I had always known him as such a jolly per- son, you know." It is indeed hard to realize the real Er- nest Torrence is the bad man we see in the films. In several pictures, however, he has portrayed rather lovable characters, as "Mahaffy," in "The Prodigal Judge," a Vitagraph picture made in New York, and "Emilio," a half-witted clown in "Singed Wings," a west coast Lasky production. "We have just finished what I think will be the biggest picture of the year," Mr. Torrence remarked, referring to the Para- mount special, "The Covered Wagon."

In which case 1 am in favor of giving Alsace hack to Germany and burning down the statues of La- fayette. For of course her name should have been something in Chinese that sounded like Limehouse Nights stories . . . something about scar- let petals and silver rivers . . . something about white almond blossoms and rose leaves. I know a dark smelly little dump down in Chinatown where the cock- roaches gambol and frisk around the tables ; and they call the place. "The Abode of Ten Thousand Jewels."

That's Etta Lee (whose name ought to be something in Chinese meaning The Breath of the Dawn). She was the Chinese girl in Katharine McDonald's "Infidel" (about the worst picture ever made in the world by the way). She bad a little part in Constance Tal- madge's "East Is West" and a better one with Ethel Clayton in "The Remittance Woman."

However, think your own thoughts Photograph by Witzel. L. A. A late portrait of Frank Lloyd, whose sympathetic comprehension of the genius of Jackie Coogan made possible that beautiful photoplay "Oliver Twist." Mr. Lloyd has just finished directing "Within the Law" for Norma Talmadge. He invests his productions with humanity rather than sentimentality, a rare and invaluable quality for a motion picture director to possess some of you will be right. "Tell me about your Jackie Coogan," I said. Director Frank Lloyd looked as tho the subject pleased him hugely. He leaned forward, clasped his hands, and his smile was almost tender. It was a smile that was good to see. One could tell that he was thinking not only in his directorial capacity of "Oliver Twist," but also about a little boy of whom he is paternally fond, and of a great artist to whom he would seek to pay tribute. "Jackies doesn't belong to any one person," Mr. Lloyd said, "he belongs* to the world. He has a great soul. He is not a child prodigy. He is not precocious in the way that word is usually meant. Jackie is utterly natural, abso- lutely spontaneous and wholly unconscious and unforced. "I didn't realize until we were thru with 'Oliver Twist' what a great artist Jackie really is. You dont realize it, be- cause he is so natural. You never feel that you are directing him. You never feel that he is acting . . .he isn't, as a matter of fact, he is wholly feeling. "Jackie's great- ness is in his in- tuitive under- standing — and in his eyes. He has the most extraor- dinary eyes I have ever seen. Every grief, every joy, every emotion and shade of emotion are mirrored in those great eyes. The rest of his face is just like thousands of other children. "But put the idea out of your mind, if it is there, that Jackie is 'old.' He is thoroly a child. He prefers to play with chil- dren, and when he plays with them he plays honest-to- goodness kid games. "He has, for- tunately, the right kind of parents. They are bright, simple people, who love him to death, of course, but who keep him unspoiled and a child. They dont pamper him and they dont allow him to become impressed with his own importance. He has no conception of it at all, and I have seen him shrink away from crowds or from re- porters or interviewers who approach him as Jackie Coogan, Screen Star. He is a little boy and he prefers to be met upon his own little-boyish ground. "Jackie will go on . . and on . . . Some child 'prodigies' go so far and then stop, but Jackie, as I have said, even tho it seem paradoxical, is not a child prodigy. He is a genius and he 'has it.' There will come a time, perhaps, when for reasons of education and because he will have reached the awkward age, Jackie will leave the screen for a short while. But he will come back again and the man will fulfil the boy. I know that. "Before we began to make 'Oliver Twist' Jackie was (Forty-two ) I kf crai) foi an electric train ami tracks.

But when 1 told him it was for him he simply dropped to the floor beside it. utterly iost and absorbed. His grandmother prodded his politeness. "Jackie," she said, "what do you say to Mr. Lloyd?" Then Jackie paid me a most tremendous tribute. He looked up at his grandmother for a moment with those great and grateful eyes and said, simply, "Oh, grandma, what can I say?" and then turned back again. "That is Jackie. His emotions are au- thentic. He never exaggerates or pretends. His small body is all child, but it houses a great soul and thru the clear, miraculous windows of his eyes that soul shines surely thru. One may spend a casual afternoon with this child and discover nothing at all remark- able about him, nothing at all that dis- tinguishes him from any other bright Photograph by Edwin Bower Hesser "Jackie," says Frank Lloyd be- lying the title, "doesn't belong to any one person. He belongs to the world. He has a great soul. He is not a child prodigy. He is not precocious in the way the word is usually meant. He is utterly natural, absolutely spontaneous and wholly uncon- scious and unforced. He is a great artist" youngster, no evidence of precocity ; but one could not work with this malleable little bit of eager humanity for any length of time without label- ling him genius. It would be to stultify one's intelligence otherwise." This then is Frank Lloyd's opinion of Jackie Coogan. Frank Lloyd him- self is a man of acute perception and unmistakable discernment. He has been directing pictures for a long time and has watched the progress of stars with an impartial eye. He is accustomed to weighing genius in the balance, and when he says that Jackie has it — well . . . His opinion of me, the Classic editor has refrained from printing as she promised.

Here is -tark. vivid drama here is historj being recorded in a gorgo>u* canvas of those adventurous the Roaring Forties. Gigantic in conception and execution this superb tapestrj transports one with its swift hurricane of events. It instills in the spectator a genuine patriotism for liis country. He lives over again the mighty purpose of these c lurageous pioneers who turned their faces toward the setting sun with a cry of "Westward lln!" Theirs was an adventure which dwarfs into insignificance anything which had to do with the colonization of America. One catches the true -pint of these people as they drove their covered wagons thru an unknown country. They would found an empire in the West ; they would not be denied in their determination to gain sanctuary and soil in far-off Oregon. So we live over their arduous journey thru the trackless wastes — thru the prairies, over the mountains — a journey which took a year to accomplish — a journey which re- corded but ten miles a day. Think of it ! We clamber aboard Ogle's wagon or mount Kerrigan's horse : the bugle sounds ; the far-flung wagons strike out and the glorious adventure is afoot. And what a journey ! James Cruze, the director of this vital screen epic — an adaptation of Emerson Hough's story, pilots us thru stirring scenes fraught with romance, thrills and excitement. The suspense is terrific because we are living over the hazardous trip of these hardy tillers of the soil. Danger is everywhere. Starva- tion stalks in our midst. And it is staved off when the buffaloes are sighted. What an inspiring scene — this bison hunt, one which might truly be called an animated Remington. But the biggest, individual thrill, the most stirring moment arrives when the Platte River is reached and the pioneers face the first obstacle. To see them fording this rushing river — the oxen and horses plunging into the turbulent stream and the wagons floated with logs is a sight which is as inspiring as it is exciting.

Below, Milton Sills and Anna Q. Nils- son in "The Isle of Lost -Ships," a Tour- neur production CLASSIC panoramic shot of tremendous sweep — executed with accurate color and detail. But the pioneers overcome these dangers. They will not be stopped. The picture carries a romance which balances the westward march. And its intimate scenes are cameo studies. There are adventurers, farmers, and gay vagabonds who compose the motley throng. And two of its most colorful figures are the scouts played with fine sympathy and understanding by Ernest Torrence and Tully Marshall. Watching them in a little friendly play with fire-arms over their marksmanship kindle^ the imagination with the romance of the occasion. The entire cast is highly capable. Each player is a true rep- resentative of the type which he or she portrays. The atmosphere is rich, the settings panoramic in their scope. In all "The Covered Wagon" makes just as vital history in the picture industry as the pioneers did in their hazardous journey. It lends a glamour of ro- mance ; it is fraught with adventure and excitement. It is a superb painting conceived on a gigantic scale — a living, breathing, accurate page from history. It carries color and movement and vital action. And it ranks with "The Birth of a Nation" in its epochal record of America in the making. Hail to Paramount's screen epic — a reflection of the motion picture at its best. 1 W' E leave the big outdoors to be in- troduced to the screen reproduction of A. S. M. Hutchinson's idealization of the char- acter, Mark Sabre, in his remarkable study, "If Winter Comes," which Harry Millarde made for Fox. While the salient points of this book which brings spiritual comfort to the reader are brought forth upon the silver- sheet, it lacks the same vital, spiritual flavor. This stylist is difficult to record upon cold celluloid. Chapters — many of them — must be absorbed to catch the full meaning of his characterization. Yet Mr. Millarde has made a sincere effort to record Hutchinson's idealization of Sabre. It is a character study which embraces three distinct romances in the life of its lovable figure. He is caught in a mael- strom of tragic consequences before he finds a haven of happiness with a woman who understands him. The picture is wordy and long-drawn out and rather episodic. But imagina- tive spectators will discover many moments of interest in it. Percy Mar- mont is a good selection for Sabre and enacts the character with a com- mendable spiritual flavor. As there are few dramatic opportunities the other players may be excused tor interpreting their roles with marked enthusiasm.

RF.X INGRAM'S genius foi fashioning a moving, colorful storj is manifested again in Metros "Where the Pavement Ends." Here is an old friend, the South Sea Islands formula, which has been treated in such an artistic way that it never become- conventional. It suggests the director at his best he cause he makes an old pattern seem new. Here we have the usual figures — the missionary, his daughter, the vicious trader and the native lover. To escape the abysmal brute the ^irl turns to the islander who protects her. Perfectly ohvious? Yes, in cold print, hut translated upon the screen its obviousness is overcome by Ingram's dramatic treatment. What a hrush he uses ! There is the colorful background carry- ing a gorgeous design and against it is enacted a com- pact little story acted to the queen's taste by Ramon Xavarro as the native, Alice Terry as the charming daughter of the dominie, and Harry Morey as the brutal trader. It is in- spiring and optically pleasing. The very title exudes romance. Chalk another mark for Rex Ingram. ANOTHER Metro attraction, "The LFamous Mrs. Fair," furnishes proof that it occasionally pays to have a real playwright on the job. Here is James Forbes's stage play which met with un- bounded success upon the stage which comes to the screen with its vital parts intact. Telling the story of the dissolution of a family thru the feminine urge to find ex- pression, it sends forth truthful slants on life. The wife and mother has her medals pinned on her. And success and popularity go to her head. Consequently she takes to the lecture tour and during her absence the house tumbles to pieces. The pic- ture soars to a mighty effective climax when the mother and father realize they have sinned against their children. A desperate search is made to save the daughter from dishonor. Thru bring- ing her back to her senses a reconcilia- tion is effected and harmony reigns supreme. Good, sound philosophy and logical drama are neatly dovetailed in this very human story which is capitally acted by- Myrtle Stedman as the mother who learns that her place is in the home. Marguerite de la Motte as the outrage- ously modern flapper daughter, lends a choice bit to a cast excellent in every respect. Fred Xiblo has brought forth all its vital plot and characterization. It's a picture for thinking people. (Continued on page 84) Above, Pola Negri and Conrad Nagle in "Bella Donna" an intensely thrill- ing and dramatic picture.

When you see {Continued on page 73) (Fifty-three) A YOUNG man strolled thru the smoking car. He was correctly clad, casual. At one glance he appeared to have a bear- ing of some fierce inner spir- itualness. At the next glance as equal a contradictory ap- pearance, of shrewd sophis- tication. Calculatedness. At both glances he appeared to be singularly attractive. Even compelling. During the cross-country trip one man had been watching him with a species of concentra- tion. This man was a detective. The young man strolled thru the smoking car. He left behind him a spiral trail of elegantly scented smoke. Expensive. When the trail thinned to faint blueness the famous detective arose, also casually, and strolled after him. He thought that he would confront him in the nar- row passageway between the smoker and the Pullman car. But he didn't confront him. When he emerged from the smoker into the passageway the young man had casually but completely disappeared. Fifteen minutes later, precisely, from a ditch by the railroad bed, where, precisely fifteen minutes before the Transcontinental had sped by, a young man emerged. He was the same young man as to face — almost. He was quite another young man as to garb. His tailored clothes had given way to a costume somewhat bastardly a mixture between that of a Pacific beachcomber and a holy man of somewhat uncertain orders. He carried a long staff and over his shoulder, a bundle. He strode immediately off toward a destination of which he ap- peared definite and certain. In the deep depths of his eyes glowed a flame which was focal and baffling. Two spots of red burned on the pallor of his face. Except The Madness of Youth for soft corners in his mouth he was ascetic. He walked a long ways, un- weariedly. . . . Told in Story Form By GRACE LAMB The Bannings were quar- reling among themselves. They had exhausted most of the other worldly excite- ments, and really, as they would have' told you, the spiritual had no attraction for them, even if they had thought about them, and the mental occupied their minds not at all. Theodore P. Banning would have said of himself, in extenuation, that he had burned himself out as much as was good for a man in his fight for wealth. Well, he had obtained it. What then ? During the process, he had lost his wife in death, lost his son and daughter in life, and gained three obsessions. Which is as much, all in all, as most men do who go into the cold bowels of mankind to bring back soulless gold. His first obsession was the large iron-ribbed and steel- lined vault built just off the library of his pretentious Southern California residence. His wife had used to plead with him to bank it, but banks had failed him twice in his life, and he would have none of them. His son and daughter told him that one day he would be mur- dered and his safety vault looted, but he merely shrugged his shoulders. This potential catastrophe was beyond him. He wouldn't mind being murdered, he thought, if such should befall. His next obsession had to do with his two children, Theodore Jr., called Teddy, and Xanette, his daughter.

Na- nette hadn't been home for a week before one or two in the morn- ing. Theodore P. wanted to know what the devil she meant by such carrying on ? What' did she think she was? Nanette sulkily replied that she had been with Pete Reyn- olds, that Pete was their "guest," and that he Javalie stood still.

"So you're here, Louise," he said without surprise dJ L (Fifty-five) CLASSIC "You're some man, aren't you, Ted?" "You're some woman, aren't you, Nan?" And into such a garden walked the man of uncertain orders with the light burning in the deep depths of his eyes and the gnarled staff in his long and slender hands. Theodore P. removed his expensive cigar from his mouth. He sat up in his chair, straighter than the heat of the day rendered perfectly comfortable. "Well," he said, "who in hell are you? Where do you come from?" "I am from Everywhere," said the Stranger, "from the mountains, from the desert and the sea. From the high places and out of the low I am a symbol of that beneficent power that heals the wounds of the soul." "Oh, you are, are you?" "My name is Jaca Javalie. There is hatred and trouble in this house. Vipers coil and stir in a nest of brooding beauty. Father is armed against son, in his soul, and son against daughter. Why this has been revealed to me, I do not know. I want nothing. I do not take. T give. I give peace." This was spiritualistic stuff. Theodore P. sat more erect. He wanted to hear more. His spirit was sore disturbed and the strange man's singular words were like fresh waters. "So," he said, "you think we're in diffi- culties here, do you ?" "Yes," said the Stranger simply.

"You'll sleep indoors if you stay at all." "That shall be as you will it. I come to bring peace." "Well, you've come none too soon." Theo- dore P., already more peaceful, perhaps be- cause momentarily ar- rested, lay back again in his long chair ; "we're very unhappy here," he said. The stranger in- clined his head. He seemed to be like a deep, cool well drawing from the air about him all that was poisonous and restless. Theodore P. found himself talking to the stranger, telling him things. . . . After awhile he rose and insisted upon his strange guest accompanying him to the house. They entered the library in the midst of which stood. Ted and his sister, still dis- puting a point which had. by now. become wholly ob- scured from its source. They stopped with the effect of clockwork when they saw their father with the stranger. "Where did you come from?" Nanette broke out, with her characteristic audacity. "Mars?" "Great Scott, Dad," laughed Ted, "what new curiosity have you unearthed ?" Theodore P. introduced Jaca Javalie, and the man spoke a few words to them. Suddenly, for the first time in many months, Ted felt adolescent and awkward. Like he had used to feel. And for the first time in even more months Nanette felt distinctly silly, and like making amends. The two young Bannings turned suddenly gracious. Ted bethought himself of poor, little Jeanne, cry- ing alone in her room. He ran up to get her down.

For eight months, he has been making preparations for the play which is now being filmed at the Hollywood Studios, with Carmel Myers, June Elvidge, Malcolm MacGregor in the cast. Mr. Earle is said to have unearthed an actor heretofore unknown to the screen for King Tut himself. It is to be distinguished by the most extraordinary art effects yet seen on the screen. * * * So convinced are the producers that a great wave of Egyptian en- thusiasm is about to go sweeping over the movie colony that the art direc- tor of the United Studios has been sent to Luxor with $100,000 in his jeans to buy all the an- cient "props" he can lay hands on. While this is taking place, Cecil De Mille's representatives are scam- pering around the world in the other direction. A big box arrived at the Lasky Studio the other day laden with the most gorgeous Siamese em- broideries and jewels which are to be used in the film play that Cecil De Mille is to base upon the Ten Commandments. Mrs. Florence Meehan is touring the Orient for that special purpose. Douglas Fairbanks will probably be seen next in a big picture on the order of "Kismet" by Edward Knoblock. He also has it in mind to produce two other plays. The fact is Mr. Knoblock is down at the beach furiously scribbling away at the Bagdad play, while Doug's brother, Robert Fairbanks, is in the mountains with squadrons of stenographers madly writing upon the pirate play that he wants Douglas to do. Inasmuch as Douglas has thought up some very marvelous scenic effects for the Oriental, it looks like a potentate of the mysterious East for his next.

It is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $700,000 ; there will be over $10,000 worth of swords alone. In the story Norma falls in love with a young nob'eman who, to save the life of a sister, has become the bonded servant of a rival. The peculiarity of the picture is that Norma does not appear until well along toward the middle of the pic- ture. In honor of the affair, Norma's devoted husband, Joseph Schenk has had a gorgeous dressing room built for her on the stage and a special bungalow in the studio for her to rest in. * * * Renee Adoree, after plugging along in pictures for several years, has suddenly burst out as a star of the most brilliant effulgence.

For, this new method of manicuring not only eliminates all dangerous and disfiguring cutting of the cuticle, but it leaves the finger tips soothed and com- forted, the nails immaculate and lovely. Moreover, the Cutex way of manicuring is quick and easy. It takes but five or ten minutes once or twice a week. You just dip an orange-wood stick wrapped with cotton in Cutex Cuticle Remover (a cleansing, anti- septic liquid developed by Science for the care of the nails), work it under the nail tips and around the base of the nails, gently pressing back the cuticle. Then, rinse the finger tips in water, and wipe them off. Now, examine the nails closely, and you will see that every tiny flake of dead skin has disappeared, ugly stains have vanished, and the nail rim is thin, even, and beautifully shaped. Then — for a Jewel-like Polish Of Culex Polishes there are 6ve — the paste, cake, stick, powder, and liquid forms.

Pompeian Day Cream is a vanish- ing cream that is absorbed by the skin, protecting it from dust, wind and sun. The delicate film that remains on the surface after the Day Cream has dis- appeared holds powder and rouge so well that constant re-powdering is un- necessary. Pompeian Beauty Powder is of so soft and fine a texture that it goes on smoothly and evenly. A light coating will last a long time; for this powder has, to a remarkable degree, the qual- ity of adhering. The Bloom is a rouge that is abso- lutely harmless. It comes in the de- sired shades — light, medium, dark, and orange tint. Use the Pompeian Trio together for Instant Beauty; for great care has been taken that all Pompeian Prep- arations blend perfectly. Remember, first the Day Cream, next the Beauty Powder, then a touch of Bloom, and over all another light coating of the Powder.

Then a bit of rouge blended downward and outward from the cheekbone; dusting over all with a last touch of the powder. And this I had done to only one side of her face! I turned her around to face the mirror. You never saw anyone so surprised! She looked and looked, turning from side to •ide; and I don't wonder, for she saw two entirely different girls, and one was so much lovelier it seemed incredible. "That is what you can make of your- self every day, and it will take only a lew minutes," I told her. I couldn't help laughing at her aston- ishment; she had never had an idea she could be so pretty. She realized now the mistake she had been making, and w atched with the keenest interest, while 1 made the other side of her face just as charming, adding at the last a touch of Pompeian Lip Stick. She didn't say very much, but all the afternoon I saw her eyes straying I the mirror. I hoped then that she would profit by my little lesson, and I know now that she did, lor I've never seen her look- ing pale and weary since. e 192.1.

WHY By Margaret Mayfield I'm not Particularly beautiful, charming or wise, B"t when I asked you why you loved me, \ ou said : Because you are Adorably pretty, charming and wise ! I wonder why? It was a pity no one told him HI", was an honor man in his class at college — popular with every one — giving promise of carving his notch high up on the ladder of success. An unusual business opportunity came his way shortly after he was out of school — better than most young men are fortunate enough to secure. He certainly started out with a bang. Every one remarked about it. • • * F|ve years passed. Howard Chapman, who had set out so brilliantly, was still almost precisely at the point where he started. Other young men' who hadn't nearly his opportunity had out-distanced him each year. What invisible thing was it that held Chapman back? Some of his closer friends undoubtedly knew but didn't have the heart to tell him. It was really a pity. That's the insidious thing about halitosis (unpleasant breath). You. yourself, rarely know when you have it. And even your closest friends won't tell you. . Sometimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated organic disorder that requires professional advice. But usually — and fortunately — halitosis is only a local condition that yields to the regular use of I.isterine as a mouth-wash and gargle. It is. an interesting thing thai this well known ant- his been in use for yeari for surcica' dress- ings, possesses these peculiar i roper- ties as a breath deodorant. It halts food fermentation in the mouth and leaves the breath sweet, t'resh and clean. So the s\stem.itic use of I.isterine puts you on the safe and te side. You know your breath is right.

Larry and Patricia looked at each other in joyous surprise. This was the best news in the world for them.

"And anyway," she added, "the money is just as much mine now, as tho it was really mine." Which cryptic utterance Larry seemed to understand very well, be- cause he said, "Perfectly right Paddy darling — as long as you take me with it."

Well, of course, you can guess the rest. "'Say something in Chinese," I challenged. "I — I cant, I dont know any." "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." "I am." And then she explained. "I used to speak Chinese when I was a child, but somehow I got out of the way of it. I am awfully proud of my Chinese blood tho. It gives me a little thrill of pride when I hear some one say: 'She looks Chinese.' "It seems to me sometimes as tho I were two persons. Especially when 1 get angry. My mind seems to be French and I get all stirred up. Then way clown in my soul something old and oriental seems to say to me "There, there, child, it doesn't matter ; nothing matters.' And I calm down again. It seems as tho the European side of my nature kept suggesting things for me to do and the Chinese part of me sat in critical, calm judg- ment on the project." "Everything in the world seems to have been discovered by the Chinese. I suppose they had motion pictures a couple of million years before we ever heard of them," I suggested. She laughed. "Well I wouldn't say that ; but it is true that my father's people were telling stories in the mo- tion picture way when your father's people were wandering around killing animals with their hands and tearing the raw meat with their teeth." ??????? "Well," she answered. "Telling stories by pictures is merely getting back to the realms of suggestive art. That is to say, discarding words which are an impediment to the im- agination of the hearer. The Chinese have been telling stories that way for countless ages. For instance, Chinese poetry eliminates this clutter of words. A Chinese poem will only indicate the symbols upon which the imagination is to fasten itself. A poem will read like this: "A tower "A dark lake "A Woman's face at a window "Villain lurking in shadow. "Lover with lute, etc. etc. "If that isn't what they call 'Pic- ture stuff' then I dont know what is!" What I answered was, "fust in- deed." What I was thinking was, "Girl, if you aren't picture stuff, then I dont know what is."

"So you're here, Louise." Javalie spoke without surprise. The dancer nodded. "Yes, I'm here. What are you going to do about it ? After all, Jaca, did you suppose that you could do what you did do to me without ever hearing of it again?" "What do you consider that I 'did' to you?" "The writers of fiction would say that you had broken my heart. As I probably have none, you have merely made me hate yen." She laughed, mockingly. ( How differ- ent from the delicate mockery of Nanette!) "How funny you look in your religious rags !" she said. "How funny it will be when I tell them who you really are !" Javalie leaned toward her. "Please," he said, "dont do that. I've been waiting three years for this chance. Dont spoil it.

There was love of him in her eyes. She nodded. "All right," she said, "speak your little speech, Jaca, and I'll pretend that you've saved my soul." Javalie spoke to them. He stood on the balcony with the summer winds ruffling his sacerdotal rags and the moonlight encircling his head like a halo. He told them he was speaking, not of religion but appeal- ing to their better selves, to the spir- its that lived in their bodies, to their hearts. . . . The faces looking at him were stirred and strange when be had finished. Old Theodore P. Banning kept clearing his throat. Nanette shifted from one foot to the other and her eyes ceased their mi H-king and became tender and ab- sorbed. Under cover of the rose- bushes Ted moved nearer to his wife and was silent while she told him her sweet secret. And at the very end the beautiful dancer stepped from the »roup and knelt beneath the bal- cony where- Javalie stood. "I want lo ask forgiveness of my sins," she pleaded. She could have had no more emotion if she had been in earnest. What an actress she was, Javalie thought, and his fine lips curled. The Banning estate was quiet with sleep. Theodore P. alone was awake, sitting in his library pondering the events of the evening. To him came the holy man. Javalie. "Why dont you go to bed?" be asked his host, "you look tired . . . worn." Ban- ning nodded. "I am," he said. Javalie stood before the older man and passed his hands over the grey head. "Then sleep," he began to intone, "sleep . . . sleep . . . sleep . . ." Banning relaxed and closed his eyes. When his breathing was quiet and his hands limp Javalie took him by his arm and led him softly to the great vault in the other room. "Open this," he commanded and, automat- ically, perfectly, Banning obeyed. As he did so. Javalie jotted down the combination in a note-book and then, as quietly, led the tranced man back to his chair. Javalie's mission in the Banning home was complete. Where was the victory? Where the wine of tri- umph ? As be turned to leave the room, the older Banning being now relaxed into normal, quiet slumber, he found Pete Reynolds waiting for him. "So that's your game, is it?' he asked. grimly, "thought so. I've been watching you. Javalie nodded. "A crook/' he said. "yes. One of the best. Are you going to spill the beans?" "I might not." Reynolds said, "for a — consideration." The two men entered into an agreement, and Javalie promised to have the money extracted within twenty-four hours. The only person who did not sleep in the Banning home that night was Jaca Javalie. The only man who could find no peace was the man who had brought peace to the household. Tn the morning Ted came to his father and told him that he was go- ing away with his wife to work for her with his own hands. Javalie had showed him what he was doing, he said. He wanted to "begin again ..." He thought that he could. Old Theodore P. took his grown son info his arms and kist him as he bad not done since Ted was a boy. "I'll build you a house, son." he said, "and you can start in that." {Continued on page 80) (Seventy-eight) NoWonder Rouge Never Gave a Natural Color !
