Secret of Good Acting Often Found in “Business” It is rather difficult to tell just what makes an actor’s work inter esting. Therein lies the subtlety ol his art. Good "business is all- important and saves mauy a plain looking player from insignificance. "Business” includes a host of small movements which give his role variety- The great Mansfield knew a dozen ways to toy with a handkerchief, a cane or a cigar. Sarah Bernhardt, when listening, keeps up interest in her personality. The best actors study their roles C K C r S U U fJ S- il _ and try to understand just the kind of character they have been cast to poitray. Then they conceive just the “ business” such a type of char ter would naturally follow, and try to do it in that particular way. Myrtle Gonzales of Universal fame has beauty to hold her audi ence and a good conception of "business” besides. Her latest screen appearance is in the Univer sal Laemmle photoplay, "Does It End Right?” The picture was pro duced by Richard Stanton. Hospitals Curb Trachoma The establishing of small trac homa hospitals in localities where this contagious disease ol the eyes is prevalent, presents the best solu tion ol the trachoma problem, ac cording to the statement contained in the annual report of the Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service. The Service now has five trachoma hospitals in the three states of Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, and so great has been the number of applicants for treatment that a waiting list has been established. In the past fiscal year, 12,000 cases of trachoma have been treated, the larger proportion of which were cured, while those in which a cure was not effected have been greatly improved and render ed harmless to their associates.
