He confessed that he never had a harder day's worg than on that par tioular Sunday, keeping the crowd on the move and endeavoring to focus their attention on some other object than the lens of the camera. But, anyway, he had some conso lation for his superhuman efforts as an amateur traffic controller. He got his crowd. Feature Films Celebrate Tenth Anniversary.

THESE are strenuous days and about every one has had! to change his mode of living and it's hard Indeed for those who have never worked to put their shoulder to the wheel and get results. Years ago domestic science Was deemed an essential part of a girl's education in even the wealthiest families the philosophy was that if they did not know how to do it they could not instruct servants. Many rebelled! at some of the dis tasteful things, but now they look upon their knowledge of tho culinary art and the home making as a god send. The young wife is to be -pitied whose education has been thus ne-g-lected. Last July I attended a week-end party given by May Robson, who Is soon to appear in Portland! in "It Pays to Smile," at her beautiful coun try ffbme in Bayside, Long Island. About an hour before luncheon time Miss Robson informed us that the cook hadt gone home sickt so she would be the cook pro tem.

Mr. Flynn'e next spe cial is to be a modern version of "A Fool There Was." picture Industry waa truly in Hs In fancy, to be original, Mr. Fox pro duced "A Fool There Was," and the vampire in it was named Theda Bara. And "A Fool There Was" began the vamplng-via-the-screen career which made Theda Bara one of the most famous women of her generation. But Theda's vamping tactics on the silver sheet would be a bit too old fashioned, 'tis thought, for this new production, so Mr. Flynn is combing the profession for the more modern type of vamps. Of course, the vampire species is far from extinct in the industry, uhough it must be admitted that the search has emphasized tha fact that vn-r twn en5v if rriim tin,,- nn.
