u the dominant note in French
styles for this coming spring seems
not to hold good in the matter of coif-

photographed styles which show the
hair waved before 1t is dressed and
carefully arranged in each case more

Two novel headdresses are also

Short curls and light frtnges Of hair

Sig. Castellani as Ursus, the gi
tant slave so thoroughly devoted
0 his mistre IS, Lygia. He com
pletely real ICES in his appear
ance, height and muscle power,
all that our mind p ictures of the
physical giant who could uplift
trees and even tear a huge bull
asunder. Castellani was not an
actor until he posed for this
photo-drama.
When the Cines stage directors
cast the play, they found no diff
ficulty in securing great actors
for the various characters of the
story until they came to Ursus.
There they were blocked. In all
the dramatic profession of France
and Italy there was not a man
who could anywhere approach
the realization of SienkieWicz's
modest hero. They were about
to give up in despair when one
of the directors happened to run
across Castellani who was earn
ing a living as a wrestler and
had jumped suddenly into prom
inence by throwing two of the
largest and most powerful Kings
of the mat in Sicily. In fact, it
later that he had a
reru ;ation all over Southern
Europe as an herculanean ath-
lete.
The Cines Company made Cas-
tellani a flattering offer for his |
services for one year and put |
him under the direction of a
competent stage manager for
In the phOto-drama his
performance looms up promin-
entity with all the other players
Of long experience and he wins
as much by his simplicity ard |
naturalness as they for the COM
plexity of their art.
This instance only serves to
the amount of atten-
ton to detail, and wonderful care
the Cines Company displayed in

we'll deservedly called the prem
ier photo drama Of the world.

little hair that shows is trimmed neat
ly or curled. The ears are covered.
Few coils or braids are in evidence
and the hair is apparently loose,
spread over the crown or on top of the
head, with ends turned under and
pinned down. Inconspicuous shell
pins are liked
A splendid headdress shows an en-
broidered net with beads and silk used
in working up the design. 1t is an
oriental inspiration There is a smart
standing decoration at the front,
double fan of fine plumage Such a
garniture is, OF course, intended for
the very dressiest Of occasions
The tendency is distinctly toward
high styles and elaboration in Golf
fures. AS the season grows older GER
tain styles will assert their suprem-
acy, but no one of the new designs
has established itself as the fayorite
