FOUR or five years ago the "movies" were more or less of a
joke and a speculation. 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?

Mlg-ht End the War.
Dear Miss. 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.

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

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,

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

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

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.

himself the patron of all the Universal

world, the Universal City School. This

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

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

she lacks in width she makes up In

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. Ha
advanced with blazing eyes.
"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.
Grace, the faithful maid, had hacked
the beams away with her penknife and
saved her life.
"Grace! Grace!" she murmured bro
kenly. "You have saved me!"
That night she allowed Grace a night
off and gave her a quarter to spend aa
she pleased.
