The "legitimate" actor held his film brother in no esteem at all and you and I balked at pictures because they "hurt our eyes." Then, presto! The change! To day "legitimates" clamor at the doors of the motion picture studios. Far more money is expended on screen than on stage production, and we pay out good money willingly that our eyes may be de lighted with the marvelous results of the mind workings of the "movie" men. Four years ago who of us would have dreamed that we should live to see the day when the celebrities .would be identified with, films? ONCE more have come votes for In Blograph films.

Tinee: Why don't they send you to the war and let you oon- duot a column for the benefit of the opposing armies? You'd give 'em a good humored laugh at each other and they'd forget they bated each other and bury Belgium, Here's to you. W. A. M. MACMILLAN. . Aa It Waa In the Betrlnnlnc. Dear Miss Tinee: A spirit of pessim ism, or of complaint, or of carping crit icism seams to comprise the majority of the letters to you in the Voice of the Fan Column, A study of the letters to the press in general, however, will bow much the same spirit. Just why this Is so it would be hard to a.y. As a Nation we are easy going, tolerant, and more or less Indifferent, oldom exerting ourselves in any mat ter of public concern, and then usually to criticise or condemn, rarely to praise. The motion picture has not been ex empt from this habit of ours, and no human achievement ever deserved it less. We do not seem to appreciate this new and wonderf Jl thing that has eome to us in all Its marvelous perfection and In so short a period of time. I reea'l only 18 years ago, when this great business was In Its infancy, at tending a moving picture exhibition. It was given in what we like to call a le gitimate theater. A man stood on the stage ai.d announced. "The next picture will be a barnyard scene, entitled, 'Feeding the Doves.' " Then with a whirr and a splutter of the machine stationed in the gallery an Indistinct, Jerky picture waa shown of a woman feeding pigeons near a barn. Then came the announce ment, "The next picture will be the Black Diamond express running 64 miles an hour." Even those pictures seemed wonder- fuly reallstlo and we squirmed in our seats as we saw the great train speed ing dliectly toward us and out of the picture. We ought to realie what a wonderful entertainment of amusement and In struction Is ours today everywhere every night for 10 cents, and be leas ready to criticise and more ready to praise. H. D. M. Likes the Reel Patr. Dear Miss Tines: Your page Is great. I think I like particularly your an swers to fans with their sclnetlllatlng side remarks along with the informa tion the fans desire information which usually is reliable and complete. Per haps you err occasionally, but the only pjnom who never do that are your crlUca. Your lead stories are always Interesting. Taken altogether, it Is lively, readable news of the film and screen. -N. JC Film Star Famous. The screen boasts of many charming women who have won their honors in many different ways. Some are well known on account of their exceptional portrayal of some particular role, some on account of their striking beauty, some on aeoount of thrilling exploits and some on account of a former speo tacular speaking stage career. There is one girl of the films who has gained quick and lasting fame through a sort of combination of sev eral of the above qualifications. This maid, who Is the subject of the picture on this page. Is Miss Anita Stewart, the Vitagraph star seen ia V. L. 8. E. plays. e De Wolf Hopper, the Triangle star, says the reason why he Is enjoylne; his motion picture experience, is that in each of his Triangle plays to date he has had scenes necessitating the serv ing of chplce food. TOPIC OF INTEREST TO MOVINGPICTURE FANS PHOTOPLAYING has revealed a new twist in feminine psychology snd started a new fad. The girl who plays In pictures. It seams, gets a sort of color starvation. No matter what she wears in acting her role It photographs plain black or white or gray and ahe sees all her work expressed and toned by these monotones. Apparently this does not satisfy some odd artistic need of her nature, for now she Is going In for oolor photography strong. Young woman Triangle players have led In popularizing the new fad and they say It Is as comforting as an tee cream eoda after a 40-day sweet-fast. The results, of coura'e, are fascinat ingly beautiful. It is not generally known that there are sow , several processes of color photography, includ ing some that make the glowing rec ord on paper and some that produce glass transparencies of exquisite verity and delicacy. Triangle girls have very nearly world wide fame for their beauty and when it comes to being recorded tn full colors they use lots of it and with great kill flaming reds and oranges, deep, glowing blues and purples, all In slash ing masses that show what a riotous Indulgence In hue a oolor-starved girl craves. From the Eastern Triangle studios there one day recently came into New York a trio of feminine pilgrims. Nor ma Talmafige, Jewel Carmen and Cor inne Parquet, to be subjects of the new Hess-Ives process. Henry Hess, one of the inventors, came over from Phila delphia to make the trials, which were made tn the studio of Dr. Arnold Gen the. himself a color-photographer of world-wide celebrity. This newest of the processes yields Its results on paper. Out In Los Angeles the new fad has also taken hold and other processes are being tried. Louise Fasenda. Bessie Barriscale. Mabel Normand, Fay Tlncher and Louise Glaum are among those who have taken up color photography and eome most interesting and unusual results are reported. v "It was a glorious orgy." said pretty Jewel Carmen, who Is supporting Doug las Fairbanks In his new photo-comedy of Manhattan. "You know every girl loves and craves color and the craving seems to grow and grow when one Is working- In pictures that always come out In monochrome. So we Just let ourselves go. In a oolor sense, when a chance like this comes along. X loved IC- Henry Revier, the supervising direc tor at the Popular Plays and Players studios and who Is now directing Ed mund Breese in "The Evil Men Do." re cently entertained with a novel birth day dinner. He Invited 20 of his friends. Including some of the best known men on the stage and screen, and told them to meet him In the Hotel MoAlpln at oclock In the evening. They all arrived, naturally expecting that they would eat at the hotel. In stead, Mr. Revler had a flock of auto mobiles in readiness and took them all around to the Pennsylvania Railroad station. There they boarded a train bound for Philadelphia. Jl sumptuous dinner was served on board, and when the merry group reached the coffee and cigars Mr. Revler explained the reason for giving the dinner on board the train. He said he did not know exactly where he was born, and neither does anyone else, for that matter. But he knows it was "somewhere near Phila delphia." on the Pennsylvania railroad. His mother was living in Montreal whan she received word that her oldest son was dying In Philadelphia. Despite her delicate condition she insisted on going to the side of her boy. and while on the way Harry was born on the train. Marshall Stedman. one of the princi pal assistants to General Manager II. O. Davis at Universal City, has constituted himself the patron of all the Universal kiddies, of whom there Is an ever-increasing number, It is Stedman who was largely responsible for the estab lishment of one of the most remark able educational Institutions in the world, the Universal City School. This Is one of Stedman's greatest Interests In life, for every day he makes a tour of Inspection of the classrooms, and in quires of Miss Hazel Hunt how her lit tle charges are progressing. A few days ago he got tha Idea that their progress In memorising and spell ing was not quite satisfactory, so he thought of a scheme to stimulate them. He prepared a paragraph with several difficult words in it, and fixed a period of five days, during which the children were to memorise It and also the spell ing of every word In It. The child who succeeded In remembering it best was to receive the prise, a big box of candy. For a week there were many studious children. studying even in the Sets on the big stages, all bent upon winning the prize, and Stedman heard no more complaints of their low spelling av erage!. t)The Universal Film Company deals In superlatives. They have the largest picture plant, the ugliest man in the ajllms Victor Potel, the tallest man In the films Robert Mllash, the hand somest man in the films Roy Fernan dez, the winner of the nation-wide contest for that honor. Nobody can deny them the possession of many of the prettiest women, and certainly no body who looks at this picture will think of denying them the thlnnestl Gale Henry, the Joker's facial con tortionist, is so thin that she has to sleep on three feather beds. When she wore the bathing suit In the pic ture, "She Was Some Vampire." she looked like a strip of striped ribbon wafted along by the breeze. What she lacks in width she makes up In length. The distance from her ankle to her knee Is absolutely Incredible. Khe is an adept in the art of eccentrla make-up. but In this Joker she has certainly beaten her own record. Saved by Grace JASMINE JEWSHARP, the famous emotional actress, sat in her 111 gant apartments and cried bitter ly. Why was she so beautiful? Why did men threaten to klU her If she did not marry them? She could not tell. That Is why she was weeping bitterly this night at 7:68 P. M. In the midst of her sobs Graee. the maid, opened the door to admit Tread well Tuttlfruit. the great actor.

"Jasmine." he shouted, "tonight you marry me or dlel Quick your answer"" She was Just about to respond when In came Richard Looseleaf, the cunning wretch of the movlea His handsome face was inflamed with drink. "Ten minutest" he shouted. That's all I give you to marry me or die!" Jasmine bade him wait. She was In terror. She did not know what to do. Then, as if she had not suffered enough, six directors, six photographers. 1 ex tra men and one press agent entered. All all begged her to marry or go to her death. Suddenly Jasmine pricked up her eara Deep down and muffled came the sound of blows. She wondered what, they we no. The suitors were advanc ing no wwlth knives drawn. They O Gawd they were upon her! But Crash! Boom! Jasmine felt the floor give beneath her. She seized the chan deliers and looked below. Down, down with the crumbling floors dropped her suitors. Then she understood.

That night she allowed Grace a night off and gave her a quarter to spend aa she pleased.
