"However," said the photographer.
81 started out to speak of the recent
waking up OF the plain women OF the
world to the value Of the eccentric in
posing before the camera.
Il speak OF actresses because they have /
the most original Ideas, and carry them /
out fearlessly. Here Is the proof OF .
picture of 8 hopelessly inferior-looking /.
woman who is starring in the West with /
her own company and making great F,
deal of money.
"she fully appreciates the value Sf
photograph as an advertising medium,
and as her own face-pur', simple, and
unadorned-wil never craze the popu-
lace, she has hit upon the cheme of
showing only part Of it at time.
Here are thfee Of her designs.
The urst represented a roguish and
brinning face with mass of tan-!ed
hair, two rows Of white teeth, and a
barely perceptible dimple. The face
looked out from between two curtains
which were drawn down on either side OF
It. meeting beneath the chin.
There was sonnet ing so frolicsome
and gay about the whole expression that
one smiled Involuntary on looking at It,
The effect was further heightened by the
contrast Of the faces on curtains on
either side.
Two faces we're woven into the cur
and grucsome in expression as 1t Is pos
sible to imagine. They were not very
dist net, and they serveI admirably TO
give emp. a9is to the jolly facs that
look ed out n m between tn n.
The second photograph represented
section of u oRrd fence.
Roughly painted on Two planks were
tho words, =" An, there ! and through a
o biz crack between the boards could be
seen one eye, an eyebrow, and Il part OF
the nose OF the actre ).
There was something extremely wide
/ awake and lrtful about the eye, and the
nose was wrinkled 50 hat it had a de
cidedly " Tough expression.
Altogether the OddIty OF the pic ure
would cause people u look 81 it ,wice
before turning away.
The third and last OF he series Of pict-
ures was by all odds the best Of the
three.
1t represeated the head and neck oi
the actress RISING out OF the sea.
One might b. eNcuS d Tor thinking
that she mad Just swallowed lot o. sail
water, for the ,ace fairly Spluttvred wi I
excitement. The mouth was draw
down, the eyes opened 10 the fullest ex
tent, and the loLg and stItngy hair huns
over the wet face.
Everything was tripping wet, and tn
whole appearance o. the face prepare,
one for the UloOd- curdliug shrek whicl
