Beauty Felt Everybody

Soon after Miss Purcell entered the
moving picture studio she Lad a feeling
that everybody In, the place had It, IN.

rs a boatuY engaged by the men higher
up. The studio manager overlooked her
when he might have given her lmpor-
tsnt roles, perhaps: the "supes" stood
on and Razed at the benuty. and tho
ing closely akin to Jealous aloofncss.
There were so many little things done
to annoy me-" confessed Miss Purcell.
"I didn't like that studio manager
from the start. He wore big thick
glasses. had small beady eyes. a rasp-
ing voice, and a cross disposition. We
Just didn't get along. :

monotony Of sitting about waiting for

on my nerves.
Another moan little trick prNcticed
by the studio manager was this: He

studio. Tho other actors and actresses

This was evidently enioyed by some

It is amusing to hear Miss Purcell tell
OF the breaking in" roles she assumed
under the snappy directors. The ma

Regards Her Retiren
Az Permanent

Miss Purcell regards her retirement
from the moving picture game as per-
manent She says she has no ambi-
ton whatever to be a moving picture
actress, even of the first rank. The
fact is, the Washington beauty has
been disillusioned, and she predicts the
average girl will be similarly dlsiiiu-
stoned IL she attempts to break in
upon the people of the screen.
Before she forsook her typewriter desk
at the headquarters OF the American
Federation OF Labor. Miss Purcell had
read occasionally of hard-hearted and
very practical moving picture directors
and managers. ON the other mana, II
looked easY-this walking out and act
ing before a camera, with no long
parts to memorlze and no danger OF
stage fright before a big thcater audi
ence.
1t was with Esme misgivings, now
ever, that she Anally yielded to the
offer of the New York producers. She
DIDN'T know whether she would make
good, nor was she quite certain that
she wanted to make good. Least of
all did Miss Purcell know how she
would get along with such important
individuals as studio managers and d.
rectors. Therefore. she told the AmerI-
can Federation of Labor good-by with a
bit of hesitation-and a mental reserva-
ton about returning II New York palled
upon her.
The very night that Miss Purcell and
her mother reached New York she had
an embarrassing piece of bad luck. and
hunch then that New York was a
town where everybody is looking out
for No. l. She was met at the rail-
road station by an attache Of the NOV
ing picture firm.
I'VE were put into a taxicab." said
Miss Purcell, who now laughs over the
incident "and the taxi driver was in
structed to take us to a hotel-the Long
acre, l believe. We went there and
mother and entered.

a man near the door. / told him we

there was considerable divergence.

Margaret, renewing her grievance.

"Yes, and the Yule log, Margie, and

its noisy, vulgar, gsrish, blatant

"Ah, well. there is little hope for
US so long as you have to drudge

wistfully.
They had been married two years,
and ever since their honeymoon they
had lived at Mrs. Smiths. 1t was q
high-class boarding house, and really
they were very comfortable there. The
meals were excellent, they were con-
veniently situated-in short, they
could hardly have been better fixed
for the price they were paying. And
yet the vision of country home, stu
ated among stately trees, beside a
noble river, had begun to work insidi-
ously upon them, as it SO often does
upon the imaginations of the newly
married.
Their dreams were Of short dura-
ton. Harold came home two nights
later and solemnly kissed Margaret.
He took her by the shoulders and
looked into her eyes.

inquired.

his wife, and Harold nodded.

NEED TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS

Pent-up feelings must have an out

fare. In this respect women are more
rational than men. They keep near
er natures plan. They talk more,
thus giving the feelings larger free
dom of expression. If their emotions
reach the overlooking point they go
and have a good cry.
Strange, is it not, that those of the
stronger sex suppress, in their pride,
that which would help them, while
they smoke, chew, drink swear, and
do other harmful things.
There is substitute far better than
those we have mentioned. 1t is music.
Through this we can keep alive the
emotions that mean so much to our
health and happiness. How stimu-
lated and refreshed one arises from
the piano when he has put his whole
thought and sentiment into some IA
vorite piece.
