Star's Work These Days
Must Be Above Ordinary
Characterization Is Chief Thing One Must Watch Out for
Actor Will " Slip Up on His Work and Patrons of
Show Will Complain.
or
By Alfred Whitman. Vitagraph.
In this day and time there must be
something about a star's work in his
productions that lifts his work above
the ordinary, or the efforts of the star
to entertain will not get over with the
audiences that witness his features.
The film fans are becoming more crit
ical every day, and taking notice of
things they overlooked a short while
back. A player can't be any too care
ful in his work because If he isn't, the
fans will surely take notice of the
flaws In his performance.
Characterization is the chief thing
that one must look out for these days.
A player should have a thorough un
derstanding of the way he is going
to characterize his part before the act
ual taking of the scenes, because if
he doesn't, he is liable to s'.lp up on
his work, with the result that he will
not establish any characterization at
all. In my long experience before the
camera I have noticed many a player
letting his part get away from him, or
In other words, getting away from his
part.
Lack of careful study has robbed
many an actor of his characterization.
when just a little time devoted to im-
t pressing the type of the character upon
his mind would have assured him suc
cess in the part, and saved a lot of
explanation as to the reason he failed
to "get over" with the audience. I al
ways make it a point to give my roles
the most careful thought before I re
port to the studio ready for work. It
doesn't take long to see which are your
biggest situations in the play and how
you can make the most of them.
One should always have his charac
terization thoroughly established In his
mind before commencing work, and
never switch from it for a moment.
because to do so means the entire
less of anything that may have gotten
over previously in the way of charac
terization. When once you get out of
your character It is almost impossible
to get back in it again, because your
part isn't natural to you then from
the audience's standpoint, and it is a
mighty hard job to try to make them
overlook the break.
Just keep your characterization up
at all times, and you will find that
the audience will live your role with
you. If you slip, your work will seem
artificial to them, and consequently
they lose interest in your work.

Winning at Casino
Palm Teach, Fla.. March 23. Plays,
whether mtde on the screen or on the

Norma Talmadge. The little Select
8 tar who is spending a few weeks at
Palm Beach, recently tried her luck at
the casino and, with the good fortune
which invariably follows her lead, all
but broke the bank. Her amazing suc

with fascinated interest. From then
on, an hour each evening was spent at
the wheel and Miss Talmadge is still
ahead of the game.
During her stay In the south the
star has been lavishly entertained at
dinner parties,; teas and suppers. One
of the most elaborate of these was a
dinner at the casino given In her

dramatic circles through his promi
nence as general manager for the Keith

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND

Cleaner's Wagon Has
Eye to Main Chance
Pittsburg. March 23. He wore a pearl
gray and undeniably very now xpring
suit, and nicely shined shoes. The street
was very muddy. Carefully he picked
h!s way acros Penn avenue. A truck
whirled l.y. The new suit was covered
with a fine sprinkling of polka riots.
Knragrd. lif IwiUi'd up at the- truck and
in neatly painted letters on its rear this
bit of irony laughed at him : "Your suit
needs cleaning : give us a trial."
Did It ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely "
hair, while the most popular count their
curls as their chief beauty? In fact
many are leading ladles just because
of their attractive looks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they bring
out all the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampooing, not with any .
soap or makeshift, but with a simple -mixture
by putting a teaspoonful of
Canthrox (which they get from the
drureist) In a cup of hot water and ap
plying this instead oi soap. i nia iuii
cup of shampoo liquid is enough so It
Is easy to apply It to all the hair In
stead of Just the top of the head. After
Its use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, ezcess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap
pear. The hair is so Huffy that tt looks
much heavier than It is. Its luster and
softness are delightful. (AdT.) ;

will be terminated thts week, when she

New York. March 23. A drafty stage,
and more fearsome in these days of
coal shortage and cold temperaments
when the maximum of heat must be
dected into the auditorium for the
comfort of the spectators, has no ter
rors for the "pneumonia-defying" chorus
of the "Flo-Flo" company at the Cort
theater, thanks to the foresight of the
manager.
Last night he made warm the hearts
of the boudoir beauties as well as their
persons by presenting each one with a
kwairo, or Japanese pocket stove. These
Ingenious contrivances are the size of
a cigarette case, are made of heavy tin.
and as they burn charcoal made from
hemp stalks emit neither smoke, flame
nor odor. Nor do they become red hot
but maintain a steady heat.
As the ladies of the ensemble of "Flo
Flo" are clothed In garments of a con
fidential nature as become corset and
lingerie demonstrators, the problem was
w-here to secrete the miniature braziers
without their presence becoming known
to the audience with the resultant sus
picion of misplaced symmetricals being
created. The wardrobe mistress, how
ever, proved equal to the emergency and
distributed the pocket stoves so skilfully
about the figures of the fair models that
the spectators never realized their
existence.
These personal heaters in consequence
have received the enthusiastic indorse
ment of the "Flo-Flo" girls and the in
ventor is hailed as the greatest bene
factor humanity has ever known. The !
kwairos. as a result of the success of j
last night's experiment, will be retained
for permanent use by the "Flo-Flo" i
chorus. The fuel they consume is made i
from hemp stalks from which the fibre ,
has been extracted, and after being j
ignited, will last for three hours, the
duration of the performance. j
The little braziers, devised by the
Japanese and used for the first time
during the Russo-Japanese war, were
secured by Mr. Cort from an importing
house.- which had Imported them for
the use of Invalids, children and out-of-door
workers. Their application as
first aid for a scantily clad chorus Is
an entirely unexpected field of usefull-nesrl
